BBC World Service - Business Matters, US and UK launch strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen

As the UK and the US launch air strikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen we bring you the latest as attacks are reported on the capital Sanaa, the Houthi Red Sea port of Hudaydah, the city of Dhamar, and the north-western Houthi stronghold of Saada.

Presenter Roger Hearing is also joined by Stefanie Yien Thio, Joint Managing Partner at TSMP Law in Singapore, and Alexander Kaufman, Senior Reporter for the Huffington Post in New York to discuss the business stories from around the world.

The Iranian Navy says it is behind the seizure of an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman in which armed masked men boarded a ship and changed the vessel's course towards an Iranian port. The incident comes at a time of heightened concern for ships travelling through the Gulf and the Red Sea, so what does this mean for how companies involved in international trade manage the risks, and security of doing business?

The US aviation regulator, the FAA, has announced it is launching a formal investigation into the Boeing 737 MAX 9 after a cabin panel blew off an Alaska Airlines flight while it was in mid-air last week. We look at what the investigation will cover.

And Joe Tidy, the BBC’s Cyber Security correspondent looks at the popularity of passkeys and why they’re becoming the preferred option for signing into websites over having to remember individual passwords.
