BBC World Service - Weekend, New wave of US airstrikes in Yemen

The US and UK have launched a second round of strikes against Houthi targets

The US and UK have launched a second round of strikes against Houthi targets.

The US and UK launch renewed airstrikes on Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen. These follow US attacks on sites linked to Iran on Friday. 

Also on the programme: Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neil becomes the first Irish nationalist leader of Northern Ireland; and Sweden’s trade unions take on Elon Musk and his electric car firm, Tesla. 

Joining Paul Henley in the studio to discuss all this and more are Elisabeth Braw, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, and British psychotherapist and writer Mark Vernon.
