Two people share what life is like in Yemen under the ongoing conflict

Two people share what life is like in Yemen under the ongoing conflict.

Amid recent attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, we find out what life is like for people in Yemen under the conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition. We hear from two people in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital controlled by the Houthis.

Iran has admitted carrying out a missile and drone attack on Pakistani territory, and Pakistan has recalled its ambassador to Iran, in response to the attack. We speak to our colleagues in the BBC Persian newsroom and hear about the reaction in Pakistan.

We talk about reports that the England international and former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is set to leave the Saudi Pro League six months after signing a contract with Al Etiffaq football club. 

Russian riot police fired tear gas and hit protesters with batons in Bashkortostan on Wednesday after a rights activist was sentenced to four years in a penal colony. We get more details from our Russia expert. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
