Saudi Arabia 'to Let Aid Reach Rebel-Held Yemen'

The Saudi-led coalition says it is easing an air and sea blockade of Houthi-held areas.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen has said it is easing an air and sea blockade of areas held by Houthi rebels. But it is unclear whether any aid has arrived at Sanaa airport or the Red Sea port of Hodeida. We hear from the UN's representative in Yemen, who has warned that hundreds of thousands of Yemenis could starve.

Also in the programme: The US envoy to Ukraine says the conflict in the country's east is "by no means frozen"; and our correspondent has exclusive access to Riyadh's most luxurious hotel where dozens of prominent corruption suspects are being held.
