US Senators vote to debate a bill that would end military support for the Saudi-UAE coalition fighting in Yemen.
United States senators have sent a strong message to the White House: they will hold Saudi Arabia to account over its role in the war in Yemen and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Senate has voted to hold hearings next week on whether to end US involvement in the three-year-old conflict.
That is despite strong opposition from the Trump administration, which sent the secretaries of state and defence to persuade senators to vote against the measure.
