US launches further strikes against Houthis in Yemen

BBC World Service - Newshour, US launches further strikes against Houthis in Yemen

The US has carried out a fourth round of strikes on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen

The Pentagon has confirmed that 14 Houthi missiles, which may have been intended for attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, were targeted by American forces. We ask US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking how effective these strikes are. Meanwhile, Pakistan has launched missile strikes into Iran, killing nine people, after Iran carried out strikes in Pakistan late on Tuesday.

Also on the programme: we hear from a Spanish MP with Down's syndrome who is thought to be the first person with the genetic disorder to join a European regional or national parliament; and we also hear from Lesley Lokko, a Ghanaian-Scottish architect and academic, who is the first African woman to win one of the world's top prizes in architecture.
