As the assault on Hudaida makes news, we examine flaws in coverage of the war in Yemen. Plus, chemical attacks in Syria.
A conflict described by Amnesty International as the "forgotten war", Yemen has found itself in the news this past week.
The reason was an assault by the combined forces of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the port city of Hudaida. While it's the Saudi-led coalition that has waged this war for the past three years, many media outlets describe Yemen as a proxy war, hence the term 'Iran-backed Houthi rebels'.
But what about the US and the UK whose weapons sales and military assistance have enabled the Gulf states to carry on the war?
