Yemen's Saleh 'to leave power within days'

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has said that he will meet anti-government protesters' demands and leave power in the coming days, but opposition leaders remain sceptical.

"I reject power and I will continue to reject it, and I will be leaving power in the coming days," the veteran leader said on Saturday in a televised speech during which he launched a tirade against his opponents.

Many of Saleh's opponents believe that if he does agree to step down, it will be to transfer power to a family member - a charge he vehemently denied.
