BBC World Service - Weekend, Former Yemen allies clash

UAE-backed forces battle troops loyal to Yemeni president

UAE-backed forces battle troops loyal to Yemeni president.

Forces loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and a United Arab Emirates-backed militia have clashed this week in the Yemeni city of Aden.  Ostensibly these factions have been regarded as being on the same side up to now and both are fighting against the Houthi rebels.  Is Yemen on course for a Somalia-style split?

Also in the programme: The English Premier league kicks off.
