BBC World Service - BBC OS, Yemen war: Major prisoner swap

A major prisoner swap between warring sides in Yemen is under way

A major prisoner swap between warring sides in Yemen is under way.

The prisoner exchange is part of the diplomatic effort to end the conflict between the Houthi rebels and the country's Saudi-backed government for good. We explain the key developments in the Yemen conflict and speak to our regional expert in the newsroom.

The US airman Jack Teixeira has appeared in a Boston court to face charges for allegedly leaking confidential US defence and intelligence documents. Our disinformation correspondent has an update. 

A groundbreaking new medical trial has begun in the UK aimed at slowing the progress of multiple sclerosis. We bring together the professor who’s leading the trial and one person with MS taking part in the study.

Dermatologists in the UK say life changing allergies are being caused by some gel nail polishes. We explain what is known about the chemicals in these polishes and hear from people who have developed allergies.

Presenter: Krupa Padhy.
