US and UK strike targets in Yemen

BBC World Service - Newshour, US and UK strike targets in Yemen

The Houthis vow to respond after US and UK strike 36 targets in Yemen.

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Within the space of twenty four hours the United States has mounted airstrikes against Iranian-linked groups in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. The strikes against the Houthi movement in Yemen are part of an ongoing campaign to deter them from attacking shipping in the Red Sea. We hear from our correspondent in Baghdad, who attended a memorial killed in strikes, and reaction from an advisor to the Iraqi government.

International concern is growing about the decision of Senegal's president, Macky Sall, to indefinitely postpone elections that were due this month. 

Also in the programme: Why big fat cars could soon pay a heavy price for parking in Paris; and Kim's Convenience, a Netflix Canadian-Korean hit and theatre favourite in London.
