Saudi delegation holds peace talks with Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen

A Saudi delegation has arrived in Yemen's capital to negotiate a potential new truce with the Iran-backed Houthi rebels who control the city, as Riyadh seeks a way out of the war. The delegation's arrival comes roughly a month after China helped broker a surprise rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Houthis seized the city in 2014, triggering the conflict with the internationally recognised government which has been backed for eight years by a military coalition led by Riyadh.
