Russia-Turkey deal gives Idlib's wary residents 'glimpse of hope'
Idlib's fearful civilians cautiously welcome 'demilitarised' zone deal but express concern over Assad's commitment.

Civilians in Syria's last rebel-held bastion have cautiously welcomed a "fragile" agreement signed by Ankara and Moscow to create a demilitarised zone that put on hold a threatened offensive on Idlib, even as they expressed concerns over whether the deal will last.

Five million children risk famine in war-torn Yemen
Save the Children says disruption to supplies coming through Yemen's embattled Hodeida port has put an extra one million children at risk of starvation, bringing the total to 5.2 million
More than five million children are threatened by famine in war-torn Yemen as prices soar, a charity said Wednesday, warning an entire generation may face death and "starvation on an unprecedented scale".
The three-year conflict between Yemen's Saudi-backed government and Huthi rebels linked to Iran has pushed the already impoverished country to the brink of famine, leaving many unable to afford food and water.
"Millions of children don't know when or if their next meal will come," said Helle Thorning-Schmidt, head of Save the Children International.
"This war risks killing an entire generation of Yemen's children who face multiple threats, from bombs to hunger to preventable diseases like cholera."
The already dire humanitarian situation is being exacerbated by the battle for the lifeline port of Hodeida, which is threatening what little aid is trickling into the country.
"Any disruption to food and fuel supplies coming through Hodeida port could cause starvation on an unprecedented scale," said Save the Children

This is why we have Donald Trump as president. Tell me more about how Trump threatens the established conventions of decorum, while we support the Saudis with special forces, weapons, and intelligence, while simultaneously calling Putin and Assad monsters.
Let me be clear. Putin and Assad are monsters. So are we.
