We visit the tribesmen of Yemen, which has for years been wracked by civil war. The conflict morphed into a proxy war in 2015 after a coalition, led by Saudi Arabia launched attacks on Iranian-backed Houthi Muslim rebels. \\nAnd as the conflict has raged on, Yemeni civilians face economic hardship and starvation. Some of the country\\u2019s tribespeople have stepped up to play the role of peacemaker to try to restore order. Leila Molana -Allen heard about some of the challenges they face when she was a guest at a tribal gathering in the south of the country. \\nFor a president to undergo an impeachment process was until recently a somewhat rareified event, but former president Donald Trump has now undergone not one, but two sets of proceedings against him. The latest one examined his role in the storming of the Capitol building on January 6th. In the end, the Senate voted to acquit Donald Trump \\u2013 and as Anthony Zurcher found, the era of Trump\\u2019s influence is by no means a closed chapter for Republicans. \\nKosovo has been marking the 13th anniversary of its independence from Serbia. And voters have been ringing the changes, facing temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius and snow to cast their ballots \\u2013 awarding a landslide victory for the opposition Self Determination party in last Sunday\\u2019s parliamentary election. Guy Delauney reports.\\nCuba is suffering. Economically the country is in its worst moment since the \\u201cSpecial Period\\u201d, a decade of severe austerity and shortages after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Breadlines are once again a common sight across the island. The hard times have prompted the government to undertake long-promised radical economic reforms. As Will Grant reports, the changes mean that even a low-key celebration of a special occasion can be tricky.
