BBC World Service - Newshour, UN Accuses All Sides in Yemen of Possible War Crimes

All parties in the Yemen conflict are failing to protect civilians, UN says

All parties in the Yemen conflict are failing to protect civilians, UN says.

UN human rights experts have issued a report saying that war crimes may have been committed and that Yemeni government forces, the Saudi-led coalition backing them, and - on the other side - the Iran-aligned rebel Houthi movement have all made little attempt  to minimise civilian casualties. We hear from one of the authors of the report.

Also in the programme: why the French environment minister has decided to step down and we have a special report from the biggest migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
