UN Accuses All Sides in Yemen of Possible War Crimes
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.
