Yemen cross-border shelling kills Saudi child

Zarif, speaking from Chile, said Kerry's remarks show the US government is "an accomplice in Saudi war crimes against the innocent people of Yemen".

United Nations -sponsored negotiations to end 18 months of fighting in the impoverished country on Saudi Arabia's southern border collapsed this month and the dominant Iran-allied Houthi movement there resumed shelling attacks into the kingdom.

As the talks broke down, the hostilities intensified in Yemen.

It will also include the "withdrawal of forces from Sanaa and other key areas", and the "transfer of all heavy weapons including ballistic missiles and launchers from the Huthis and forces allied with them to a third party".

The new peace approach will have "both a security and political track simultaneously working in order to provide a comprehensive settlement", said Kerry, adding that Gulf states had "agreed unanimously with this new initiative". It also continues to sell Saudi Arabia weapons.

Najran-Insurgents in Yemen continued over the weekend to carry out their usual crimes and attacks on Saudi Arabia's southern border. Kerry and al-Jubeir then met with their counterparts from the Gulf Cooperation Council - which includes the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Kingdom - to get the approval of its members on the new approach.

The United States remains committed to relieving the suffering of the Yemeni people and others displaced by conflict through the provision of humanitarian aid, as well as continued support for peace talks to ultimately end the conflict in Yemen.

HC allows women's entry in Haji Ali dargah's
Friday's order is being seen as a big boost for other campaigns to allow women entry into other places of worship. The trust contended that the ban was "for the safety and security of women".

Yemen descended into chaos after the 2012 removal of long-time President Ali Abdullah Saleh, whose forces are now fighting alongside Houthi rebels. On August 15, an airstrike on a MSF facility killed 19 people and injured 24.

The Houthis had been demanding a unity government as the first step toward resolving Yemen's war.

The State Department said Kerry will meet Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Geneva on Friday to try to close a deal on military cooperation and intelligence sharing in Syria.

The coalition intervened in March previous year to support President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi after the Huthis and their allies seized much of Yemen.

The U.N. says about 3,800 civilians have been killed since the Saudis entered the war, and most of the deaths are blamed on Saudi airstrikes.

Yemeni President Hadi commissioned an inquiry into the human rights abuses in 2015, but it was unsuccessful because it couldn't operate everywhere in the country.
