| The president of Yemen has resigned along with his prime minister as Shia Houthi rebels tighten their grip on the capital Sanaa.
President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and Prime Minister Khaled Baha tendered their resignations to parliament which reportedly refused to accept them.
The move came despite a deal to make political concessions to the rebels.
Rebel figures welcomed the news with one reportedly proposing the creation of a ruling presidential council.
The council would include Houthi-led groups, Abu al-Malek Yousef al-Fishi was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
Houthi leaders had previously committed themselves to withdrawing from key positions around the presidential palace and the home of President Hadi.
The US, which is helping fight al-Qaeda militants in Yemen, said it was still assessing the implications of President Hadi's move.

| Again, the bad news is that the rebels are already trying to create a presidential council. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
