Houthi Strikes: all you need to know wit...

SKY NEWS
About this episode
In this episode, Sky News' new international presenter Yalda Hakim gets time with defence and security editor Deborah Haynes and special correspondent Alex Crawford to talk about the airstrikes on Houthis in Yemen - why they happened, how they happened and what could happen next.

Alex has covered Yemen for years and has interviewed Houthi leaders. Deborah says the action is a "high-risk balancing act". Her analysis is it "could yet trigger a regional war".

:: Our new primetime foreign affairs show, The World with Yalda Hakim, launches on Sky News on 22 January, airing Monday to Thursday from 9-10pm.

Producer: Alex Edden
