Yemen's fragile truce: Warring parties trade accusations of ceasefire violations

Meanwhile, Iraq is emerging as a new land of opportunity for the Lebanese. Authorities in Baghdad say that more than 20,000 Lebanese migrants have moved there in the past year, mainly to work in the health and service sectors. Iraq has returned to relative stability after defeating the Islamic State group in 2017, while Lebanon is currently in the throes of an unprecedented economic crisis. 

Finally, we turn our attention to Egypt, where female comedians have taken to the stage for the country's first all-female stand-up show. Organised by women for women, they say the aim is to empower the fairer sex and challenge stereotypes.
