This Is Not A Drill with Gavin Esler 🚨 UPDATE 🚨 Red Sea latest as airstrikes hit Yemen
Gavin Esler talks with Yemen expert Helen Lackner after a night of yet more conflict in the Middle East.
Within hours of our recording with Yemen expert and author Helen Lackner analysing the Houthi militia’s attacks on Red Sea shipping vessels , the United States, supported by a coalition of the UK and eight other countries, led airstrikes on Houthi facilities in Yemen.
The reaction from the Houthis has been to threaten reprisals - could this be the kind of escalation in the Middle East feared since Hamas’ attack on Israel and the devastating reprisals in Gaza?
