Separatists Clash With Government Forces in South Yemen

BBC World Service - Newshour, Separatists Clash With Government Forces in South Yemen

A new front has opened, with southern separatists fighting government forces in Aden

A new front has opened in Yemen's civil war, with southern separatists fighting government forces in the port city of Aden.

The Yemeni port city of Aden has seen a day of violence between erstwhile allies in the country's civil war. A representative of the World Food Programme on the ground tells Newshour that the city already has a large population of displaced people and that any fighting makes a fragile situation worse.

Also on the programme: The man behind the flatpack - we remember the founder of IKEA; and the auction for the Indian Premier League has just finished - millions of dollars has been spent on hiring the best cricketers, but not everyone thinks it's money well spent.
