BBC: Yemen ex-President Saleh offers talks to Saudi-led coalition
The former president of Yemen has suggested that he is open to talking to the Saudi-led coalition that his forces have been fighting for years.
Ali Abdullah Saleh said on TV that he would be ready to "turn the page" if the coalition lifted a blockade on northern Yemen and halted its attacks.
