Yemen clashes rage in south as peace talks postponed

There have been fierce clashes in southern Yemen, reportedly leaving dozens of people dead and wounded.

In the city of Dhalea, militiamen allied to the exiled government have retaken positions from Houthi rebels.

But in Taiz, to the west, the rebels are reported to have pushed back their opponents in heavy street fighting.

Earlier, Yemeni officials said UN-sponsored peace talks that were due to start in Geneva later this week had been postponed indefinitely.
