Summary
The Yemeni authorities say Houthi fighters have seized Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces. The port sits on the Bab al‑Mandab strait linking the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and strengthens the Iranian-backed group's control of a key shipping route for oil and goods between the Gulf, Asia and Europe.Also in the programme: We hear from former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon about the legacy of Charlie Kirk as well as the dangers of AI; and a royal succession dispute in Uganda's Tooro Kingdom.(Picture: An armed man walks next to an armoured vehicle, as according to military sources Iran-aligned Houthis seized control of Mocha, Yemen.
