MAN

It is the second recent ceasefire that appears to have quickly collapsed
The government had proposed that it begin late on Friday and run during Eid, the three-day holiday that starts on Sunday and marks the end of Ramadan.
The government’s five conditions included removing road blocks, the withdrawal of rebel forces, the release of detained military personnel, and abiding by the constitution and Yemeni law in general.
But the rebels have asked that the ceasefire be unconditional.
The BBC’s Paul Wood reports from Yemen that people at a camp for the displaced said rebels had been steadily winning territory from the army.
International concern about the conflict has intensified after witnesses said that more than 80 people were killed in a government air raid on a camp for displaced people on Wednesday.
The rebels, known as Houthis, complain of discrimination. They say they want greater autonomy and a greater role for their version of Shia Islam.
Both sides see unwelcome influences from abroad, with government accusing rebels of having Iranian backing and being accused itself of being influenced by Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia.

Professor Howard Cuckle of Leeds Antenatal Screening Service and the International Down’s Syndrome Screening Group, worked on the study.
He said: “This provides direct evidence of a link between Down’s syndrome and NTD.
“Folate supplementation before conception has the potential to reduce the frequency of Down’s syndrome.”
Writing in an editorial in The Lancet, Dr Jørgen Olsen and Jeanette Falck said: “Although the report is somewhat provocative, it may well be the first epidemiological indication of the existence of a mechanism which could be used at a later stage in the primary prevention of Down’s syndrome.”
A spokeswoman for the Down’s Syndrome Association said: “There is currently very little understanding of why babies are born with Down’s syndrome, so any research that sheds light on the causes of the condition would be of interest.
“This study delivers no real answers but it presents some directions for future research.”
But she added: “It is important to remember that babies with Down’s syndrome will always be born and that all existing and future people with DS should receive the support they need to fulfil their individual potential.
“Parents of children with DS should understand that they are not at fault and that nothing they did or failed to do caused their child to be born with the condition.”

Four people who became ill after an E.coli outbreak have the same strain of the bug, tests have shown.
The National Public Health Service for Wales (NPHS) said all four cases in Wrexham were confirmed as E.coli O157 phage type 2.
Karen Morrisroe-Clutton, 32, is in intensive care and three-year-old Abigail Hennessey, is in hospital. Two women are recovering at home.
The Llay Fish Bar, Llay, is closed while a possible link is investigated.
In a statement, Dr Judy Hart, of the NPHS, said: “Laboratory testing has now confirmed all four cases as E. coli O157 phage type 2.
“This suggests that they are all part of the same outbreak and their illness is linked. Further tests will now be conducted to confirm whether the samples from the four cases in Wrexham are absolutely identical.
“It is important to stress that as the investigation continues, we are examining all possible sources of the illness including foreign travel, agricultural and leisure activities, as well as food and water consumed before the beginning of illness.”
She said no new cases have been confirmed and it is believed the incident which caused the food poisoning occurred a few weeks ago

Guinness, the famous stout with a creamy head, will no longer be made in London after the summer of 2005.
Drinks giant Diageo will close its Park Royal brewery and transfer production for the UK, its largest market, to the St James’s Gate site in Dublin.
The closure of the London brewery, which started work in 1936, is expected to cost about 90 jobs.
Diageo said drinking habits have changed in the British market, leaving it with excess capacity.
The UK is still the largest market in the world for Guinness, where the drink is the fifth best selling beer or stout.
But the drink’s popularity does appear to be weakening.
Sales declined in the last six months of 2003 with volumes down 3% compared to the same period a year earlier.
In Ireland, its ancestral home, sales have fallen 7% in the same period.
Diageo said it would increase the volume of Guinness produced in Dublin by 50% and invest a minimum of £15m ($27.7m) in the St James’s Gate brewery.

After his release on Tuesday he told journalists: “I am free again, but my homeland is still a prison.”
Reuters news agency reported he was slurring his speech because of a missing tooth.
He went on to say he had suffered beatings, whippings, electric shocks and simulated drowning at the hands of officials and guards.
“At the time that Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said on television that he could not sleep without being reassured on my fate… I was being tortured in the worst ways, beaten with electric cables and iron bars,” he said.
He demanded an apology from Mr Maliki and said he would name the officials who tortured him in due course
He also said he feared US intelligence services regarded him as an “insurgent revolutionary” and would “spare no effort” in a bid to kill him.
“I want to warn all my relatives and people close to me that these services will use all means to trap and try to kill and liquidate me either physically, socially or professionally,” he said.
His allegations of abuse mirror claims made earlier by his family, who said he had been beaten, suffering a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding.
The Iraqi military earlier denied the allegations, but following Zaidi’s news conference Sami Al Askari, an adviser to Mr Maliki, said his torture claims should be investigated.
Zaidi’s family has been preparing to throw a party for him.
He has reportedly received offers of money, jobs and even marriage from across the Arab world.
His relatives say he was offered a golden horse by the Emir of Qatar.

A six-month court martial saw seven soldiers facing war crimes charges relating to Mr Mousa’s death.
In April 2007, all but Cpl Payne, 36, were cleared on all counts at Bulford Camp in Wiltshire.
He became the UK’s first convicted war criminal under the International Criminal Court Act.
In July 2008 the MoD agreed to pay £2.83m in compensation to the families of Mr Mousa and the nine other detainees.
David Barr, counsel for the Ministry of Defence, said the “appalling” behaviour of British soldiers in the case “disgusted” the Army.
He told the inquiry: “It is with huge regret that the Ministry of Defence acknowledges the way in which some of those techniques were used on Baha Mousa and those detained with him.
“The brutality was completely unacceptable. It has stained the reputation of the British army.”
