Coming up, continuing confusion over the turmoil in South Sudan--its former vice president denies leading an attempted coup.

"There is no coup attempt at all. I believe in democracy. I believe in changing you government through elections."

And several police chiefs arrested in Turki. We look at through this review splits whin the government. Also in our podcast, we hear a report on women's rights in Yemen where one 14-year old girl tells us how she and her sisters were married off by her parents in order to clear family debts.

"The men who came here to marry me and my sisters know we are poor and that my parents won't do anything to stop them. All I want to do is finish school and get a job."

But first, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan to its north in 2011. But only a few years after its emergence as a nation, its future is in doubt. Since Sunday there's been fierce fighting in the country's capital Juba in which hundreds of people have been killed. The government of President Salva Kiir says its troops have foiled an attempted coup led by former Vice President Riek Machar. He denies the claim and has blamed the flighting on Mr. Kiir. As the violence has continued, the United State has instructed all its citizens to leave and the president of the UN Security Council Gérard Araud has told the BBC up to 20,000 people had fled to the UN mission in Juba. Some refugees have described the fighting there.

"You can find a lot of bodies all over the place. I have my cousin over there. He has not even been burdened right now."

"It's thought that the current political tension dates back to July this year when President Kiir set his entire cabinet including his Vice President Riek Machar. " Mr. Machar spoke to the BBC about the accusation that he tried to stage a coup.

"There is no coup attempt at all. I believe in democracy. I believe in changing you government through elections. I would not be a participant in coup attempts."

"What is happening?"

"So there is no coup. What the president is doing is talk the talk. We started to talk about reform. And that's why he arrested some of my colleges and some are on the run like me."

"You are on the run. Are you still in the country? Where are you?"

"Oh yes, I'm in the vicinity of Juba. I'm around."

"You are still in the vicinity of Juba. And are you leading troops at all?"

"Presently no."
