However, according to the prosecutor's office, these later medical records showed know him has been suicidal or aggressive against other people.”

Aid workers in Yemen say an airstrike at a refugee camp in the north of the country has killed at least 45 people.

Saudi Arabian military authority is leading the campaign in Yemen say their naval forces are now besieging the country's ports to prevent rebel fighters coming or going or bringing in more weapons. Speaking to the BBC, the Saudi ambassador in London prince Mohammed bin Nawaf al-Saud reiterated his country's allegation that its regional rival Iran is helping the Houthis.
