Saudi-Led Coalition Attacks Crucial Yemeni Port

BBC World Service - Newshour, Saudi-Led Coalition Attacks Crucial Yemeni Port

Saudi-led coalition launches assault on rebel-held Yemeni port of Hudaydah.

A Saudi-led coalition of mainly Gulf states has launched an assault on the Yemeni port of Hudaydah, which is held by Houthi rebels.

Government troops backed by a Saudi-led coalition are aiming to drive Houthi rebels out of the port of Hudaydah, which is crucial for the flow of basic supplies to millions of people in Yemen. 

Also in the programme: North Korean media finally reports on the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, a day after the event; and a new study links elevated blood pressure to dementia.
