Jamie McGoldrick of the United Nations joins Scott to discuss the latest developments in Yemen.

McGoldrick is the United Nations Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative for the Republic of Yemen. Follow him on Twitter @jamiemcgoldric8.
