RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): At least 50 people have been killed since Sunday, when government forces in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, fired on huge crowds demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
After more killing today, thousands of protesters and army defectors overran a key military base. Gunfire also echoed in the southern city of Taiz, as security forces held back protesters and armed vehicles sprayed crowds with water cannon and tear gas. At least one person was killed there. The renewed bloodshed brought new warnings from the international community, including British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
