sparking a civil war. iran backed the houthi rebels, while saudi arabia backed the internationally—recognised government and launched a coalition, backed by the uk and us, to restore it to power. the effects of the fighting since then have been devastating. by the start of last year, an estimated 370,000 people had died as a result of both fighting and the effects of malnutrition. the un estimates that at least 11.5 million people have been displaced since the start of the conflict. and 24.1 million people — that's 80% of the population — are in need of humanitarian aid and protection. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin sent this special report from the city of taiz. yemen's young know nothing but war. eight years on, the guns are quieter, but a generation bears the scars. and if there's one place that

shows their suffering, it's al—rasheed street, a frontline neighbourhood in the city of taiz. it's home to badr al—harbi, who's seven. he and his brother hashim were hit by houthi shelling last october coming home from school. since the attack, the boys' world has shrunk. they no longer go to classes. their physical wounds may have healed, but their trauma remains, like the danger. conflict echoes around them. do you hear a lot of sounds from the war? "bullets, explosions, air strikes, shells," he says. hashim, is it very scary when you

hear the explosions and the gunfire? "i feel scared and run. there's a lot of explosions." badr wants to be a doctor when he's older. he wants to help people. first, the brothers need to return to school. "i want to go back," he tells me, "but my leg has been cut off. "how can i go out of the house?" and right next door, another little life upended. amir was maimed on the same day last october in a second round of shelling. it killed his cousin and his uncle in their own home.

amir�*s father, sharif al—amri, shares his pain. he says his sleeping son, who's just three, needs another operation and has deep wounds of memory. translation: he remembers every moment, from - the shelling to the hospital. he says, "this happened to my uncle, this happened to my cousin." he talks about the smoke and the blood. it's always on his mind. back on the street he tries to distract him. don't be scared, but he is just a distract him. don't be scared, but he isjust a child who has distract him. don't be scared, but he is just a child who has seen too much. he asks him what he wants in the future. translation: �* , .,

effects, particularly on children of that long—running war. 80% of the population, some estimates suggest, need humanitarian help right now. how would you describe the hell that is available?— is available? indeed, yemen unfortunately _ is available? indeed, yemen unfortunately remains - is available? indeed, yemen unfortunately remains one . is available? indeed, yemen| unfortunately remains one of is available? indeed, yemen - unfortunately remains one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world and is at risk of being forgotten. 0ne world and is at risk of being forgotten. one in seven people have been displaced or roughly 80% of the population are in need of humanitarian aid and protection. we know that the consequences of almost nine years of war have been devastating to the people of yemen and on the infrastructure on this we see it crumble before our eyes. more than half of yemen's hospitals now are closed or only partially functioning. many health staff have not been paid for many years and families are increasingly desperate.

they have seen their livelihoods destroyed by war. 0n they have seen their livelihoods destroyed by war. on top of that we are seeing a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases on the rise again as a result of the crumbling health infrastructure. 18 million people here lack access to water and faced sanitation. really the compound impact of this conflict is really far—reaching and will also remain for long after the war ends. 0ne remain for long after the war ends. one example of that is landmines and explosive remnants of war which we see still continuing to may kill people. see still continuing to may kill --eole. ~ ., see still continuing to may kill n-eole. . ., ., . ., people. we said in that introduction it's often called _ people. we said in that introduction it's often called the _ people. we said in that introduction it's often called the forgotten - people. we said in that introduction it's often called the forgotten war . it's often called the forgotten war because it has been going on so long. what does that mean in terms of the humanitarian response? is there simply a lack of funding, a

lack of aid and help? may be simply a lack of attention? i lack of aid and help? may be simply a lack of attention?— a lack of attention? i think it is a mix of all— a lack of attention? i think it is a mix of all of— a lack of attention? i think it is a mix of all of those _ a lack of attention? i think it is a mix of all of those things. - mix of all of those things. unfortunately we are seeing humanitarian aid being cut to yemen. humanitarian aid is a massive lifeline forfamilies humanitarian aid is a massive lifeline for families across the country who depend on food, clean water, shelter and health care and thatis water, shelter and health care and that is increasingly at risk now. on top of that we have global inflation which is making the cost of providing aid to yemen much more expensive. we have seen the price of food going up 11% in the last year. humanitarian aid workers have much less money to provide the same amount of care really and it is important to remember that we are in this limbo stage where we are not in heavy conflict but we are also nowhere closer to peace. the needs of ordinary yemeni families have not

gone anywhere, they remain completely dependent largely on humanitarian aid. people have to choose now which meal to eat, per day. that is usually one day and people are being forced into very difficult choices.— difficult choices. even if the war ended tomorrow, _ difficult choices. even if the war ended tomorrow, of— difficult choices. even if the war ended tomorrow, of which - difficult choices. even if the war| ended tomorrow, of which there difficult choices. even if the war i ended tomorrow, of which there is very little hope, but even if it did thatis very little hope, but even if it did that is only the start of the humanitarian relief effort that is needed, there is so much work to be done isn't there?— needed, there is so much work to be done isn't there? absolutely. yemen was already — done isn't there? absolutely. yemen was already the _ done isn't there? absolutely. yemen was already the poorest _ done isn't there? absolutely. yemen was already the poorest country - done isn't there? absolutely. yemen was already the poorest country in i was already the poorest country in the arab world and with every year and month this conflict continues it becomes exponentially more difficult for yemenis to recover. it is also highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change, it is very water scarce, we are in the midst of a heatwave when it should be rainy

season and at same time we are seeing growing amounts of flooding. so really the need in yemen will continue long after the guns fall silent. we would urge the international community and donors not to forget about yemen in its hour of need. i not to forget about yemen in its hour of need.— hour of need. i was going to ask what is most — hour of need. i was going to ask what is most needed _ hour of need. i was going to ask what is most needed right - hour of need. i was going to askj what is most needed right now? hour of need. i was going to ask- what is most needed right now? there is a long list i imagine but what is most pressing? it is is a long list i imagine but what is most pressing?— most pressing? it is a very difficult choice _ most pressing? it is a very difficult choice to - most pressing? it is a very difficult choice to make - most pressing? it is a very| difficult choice to make but most pressing? it is a very - difficult choice to make but people really need food in order to feed their families. really need food in order to feed theirfamilies. i think it is also important to remember that yemen is one of the most heavily weapon contaminated countries in the world, landmines are rife and rampant and because of flooding has been moved into residential areas, people have been killed or injured, i think that

speaks to the level of contamination. and we know that these explosives remain a threat for years if not decades to come. unfortunately yemen is a country where as i mentioned the health care infrastructure is crumbling but we also have a lack of specialised care for the children that were in this report will need lifelong prosthetics and orthotic devices to help them with missing limbs. 0n prosthetics and orthotic devices to help them with missing limbs. on top of the landmine issue we have food and water and health care infrastructure. yemen will need decades of investment to recover. thank you for explaining the huge

challenge ahead, thank you for your time. just to bring you an update on a story we told you earlier. news that a plane has crashed while trying to help put out the fires on the greek island of evia, wild fires continue to burn, the emergency team say they have declared war on these fires but we can bring you pictures showing what we know... on the island. this was while the plane was trying to dump water on the fires that are burning there and in neighbouring crete. also on high alert because of the extreme risk of fire. we are not going to show much more of those pictures because of course an awful tragedy unfolding for those firefighters who were trying to put out the fire butjust the latest pictures we have really underlying some of the challenges for the emergency crews trying to

tackle fires burning in large parts of the country. we know too that rhodes is the epicentre of the relief effort, many people evacuated, about 20,000 people forced to flee the fires, the government saying that they are now under control. let's take you live and speak to our correspondent who has the very latest. we were just looking at images of a firefighting plane that has crashed on a neighbouring island and it doesjust remind us of quite how difficult it is for the emergency services to tackle these blazes that are popping up tackle these blazes that are popping up right across the islands. i just up right across the islands. i 'ust not off up right across the islands. i 'ust got off the — up right across the islands. i 'ust got off the phone i up right across the islands. i 'ust got off the phone with i up right across the islands. i 'ust got off the phone with the h up right across the islands. ijigil got off the phone with the fire service and he confirmed that two people have died on that plane. he said it was really important to make this clear that this was not a firefighting plane, it was a plane that had been helping them from the

air force, these were not firefighters, they are pilots from the air force. he did say previously that firefighters risked their lives, as does everyone responding to the fires and what has happened was that they had been having problems when it comes to fires. midnight in particular was when these fires started really raging in that area. there were evacuations in the area but not in the thousands, these are small evacuations. clearly during whatever monitoring of response there was, something went wrong. response there was, something went wronu. ~ , ,., y response there was, something went wronu. m, m response there was, something went wronu. ,~ ., response there was, something went wron. ,~ ., .,f wrong. absolutely and an awful traced wrong. absolutely and an awful tragedy unfolding, _ wrong. absolutely and an awful tragedy unfolding, one - wrong. absolutely and an awful tragedy unfolding, one we - wrong. absolutely and an awful tragedy unfolding, one we are l wrong. absolutely and an awful - tragedy unfolding, one we are seeing in other parts of the country because so many people losing their homes and livelihoods as the fires continue to burn. tell us what we know about the evacuation, not only

localised fires, of course fire services are extremely concerned by what is going on because the stakes are so high, people are being evacuated from places like that but at the same time trying to balance what's going on here. the images we are seeing with the fact this is not happening across the whole of greece which is why governments like the uk government are saying that people can still travel to greece if they want to given the horrible scenes like this are localised. for want to given the horrible scenes like this are localised.— like this are localised. for now, thank yom _ like this are localised. for now, thank you. one _ like this are localised. for now, thank you. one other _ like this are localised. for now, thank you. one other line - like this are localised. for now, thank you. one other line of. thank you. one other line of breaking news to bring you, we are getting news that ron desantis has been involved in a car accident. it does not say where butjust underlining that he has not been injured, that report coming from fox news. you will know that ron desantis is a candidate in the presidential election of next year

taking on the lively frontrunner but the fox news are reporting ron desantis involved in a car accident but has not been injured. you watching bbc news. 0fgem said sse charged excessive fees when there was too much supply. virgin media 02 is to cut 800 jobs by the end of the year including. by the end of the year it virgin media 02 is to cut 800 jobs by the end of the year it follows vodafone and bt making significantly reduced workforce. julian sands's

final cause of death has been deemed undetermined. his body was recovered injune months after he went missing injune months after he went missing in california. because of death was undetermined due to the condition of the body. no otherfactors undetermined due to the condition of the body. no other factors were discovered during the investigation. more on all of those stories on the website. nhs radiographers, who carry out and analyse scans, have begun a 48—hour strike in parts of england. 37 nhs trusts are affected by the walkout in a dispute about pay. the government insists its 5% pay offer is reasonable, but the society of radiographers says talks should reopen because other public sector workers have been offered more. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. picket lines outside hospitals in england again today,

but this time it is radiographers showing their discontent. patients are coming through the door are not getting the care we deserve because we don't have the staff to provide it. it is estimated the vast majority of nhs patients undergo tests or therapy with the radiographer, including mris, ct and ultrasound scans and radiotherapy. i qualified in 2017 and since then, 20% of my class has left radiography, after doing a degree for three years and that is a great shame, really. 30—year—old john kelly worked as a radiographer in liverpool but still lives with his parents because he says he can't afford to move out. he insists the pressure of the job i'm poor pay have made it intolerable. not being able to give the care that you want to patients, the uk lags behind a number of countries in the number of ct scanners but we don't have the number of staff to man them either and that's why we need to invest in why people are going on strike.

the two—day strike comes after radiographers rejected a 5% salary increase for this year, plus a one—off payment. but ministers say the rise is a final offer and are calling for an end to the disruption, so the nhs can focus on cutting the backlog of record delays for patients. delays in appointments, particularly for patients with cancer who know how vital it is to be treated quickly, can cause huge anxiety, as centres like this know only too well. maggie centres provide support and advice to cancer patients across britain. we have two or three meetings, group meetings, men's group. i it helps you to feel better? yes, it makes a huge difference. but there are times... it can be hard? it can be very hard. it's a bit frightening, really. what does it feel like if you are a cancer patient waiting for an appointment and there is a delay?

very worrying. i have had several appointments cancelled and if you are waiting for results or waiting for a scan, it just leaves you in limbo for longer. cheering with a million people estimated to be waiting for radiography services, the strike will inevitably cause further delays. radiographers have apologised but insisted there could be more walk—outs if their concerns are not addressed. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. let's return to greece. about 20,000 people had let's return to greece. about 20,000 eo .l~. ., ., let's return to greece. about 20,000 .eol.~. ., ., ., let's return to greece. about 20,000 neol-~. ., ., ., ., , let's return to greece. about 20,000 .eol.~. ., ., ., ., ,., ., , people had to leave homes and hotels in rhodes over— people had to leave homes and hotels in rhodes over the _ people had to leave homes and hotels in rhodes over the weekend _ people had to leave homes and hotels in rhodes over the weekend as - people had to leave homes and hotels| in rhodes over the weekend as flames spread and reach coastal resorts. we can speak to one woman who is now safely back in the uk. thank you for being with us. tell us about your

were one of the early ones evacuate, when we assembled down the mountain there was about 100 people. i'm sure it got worse, they took us to a basketball court where they had set “p basketball court where they had set up camp beds but they turned us away. and by the grace of god we had away. and by the grace of god we had a greek women who helped us and when we left we saw how bad the fires were. we stayed in an apartment for a couple of nights while we contacted the british consulate and jet2 but as of now we have not heard back from jet2. they just left us, offered no support. just back from jet2. they 'ust left us, offered no support._ back from jet2. they 'ust left us, offered no support. just to be clear once ou offered no support. just to be clear once you were _ offered no support. just to be clear once you were able _ offered no support. just to be clear once you were able to _ offered no support. just to be clear once you were able to stay - offered no support. just to be clear once you were able to stay for - offered no support. just to be clear once you were able to stay for a . once you were able to stay for a couple of years with a local who was able to put you up in an apartment, how did you then make your way back to the uk? mr; how did you then make your way back to the uk? y how did you then make your way back to the uk? g ., ., ., ,., ., ~' to the uk? my mum managed to book, when we had —

for thousands of holidays cancelled or disrupted as the heatwaves continue across europes. we'll look travellers rights, and the impact on the industry. the international montary fund raises its prospects for global growth this year, but warns the world economy isn't out of the woods yet. welcome to world business report, i'm ben thompson. we start in greece where wildfires have swept across the island of rhodes. airlines and holiday companies are scrambling to bring back those affected, while some flights to the island have been cancelled. up to 10,000 british tourists are there, with many more booked to travel in the coming weeks. and with more record temperatures forecast, there are renewed travel alerts and extreme weather warnings. but the uk government has so far not issued guidance against all travel to the region, meaning insurance companies

are unlikely to cover the costs of a cancelled trip.
