BBC World Service - Newshour, Yemen: Government Troops 'Capture Hudaydah airport'

Houthi rebels have reportedly lost control of Hudaydah airport in Yemen's main port city

The Yemeni military coalition says its engineers are now checking the surrounding area for mines. The Houthis have not acknowledged losing the airport which comes on the third day of the Hudaydah offensive, being directed by the United Arab Emirates. We hear from the Consultant to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington DC, Fahad Nazer.

Also on the programme: Nicaragua's Catholic Church has brokered a deal to end weeks of violence that have left more than a hundred and fifty people dead; Hungary's first black member of parliament strives to give hope to others; and the author, JK Rowling calls for the closure of orphanages worldwide through the charity, Lumos.
