The former president of Yemen says he's open to talks with a Saudi-led coalition if it stops attacking his country.

Both sides seemed open to the idea. Loyalists to former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, have been fighting Houthi rebels in the capital of Sanaa. Dozens have been killed or injured in the past four days. Saleh says the Houthis are trying to monopolize power - while the rebels accuse him of treason over suspected contacts with Saudi Arabia. The Houthis are accusing Saleh of staging a coup against their alliance.
