UK
Prime Minister, Theresa May, has defended her trip to Saudi Arabia, saying its
ties with the UK are important for security and prosperity.
The
prime minister is facing questions about the UK's support for the Saudi-led
coalition which is fighting rebels in neighbouring Yemen.
Labour
Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said UK-made weapons were contributing to a
humanitarian catastrophe. But
May says the UK was also a significant donor of aid.
Speaking
to journalists as she travelled to Jordan, which she is visiting before
travelling to Saudi Arabia, May said humanitarian aid was one of the issues she
would be discussing on her trip. She would
also be raising human rights issues with her Saudi hosts.
