Houthi rebel attacks prompt shipping firms to avoid Red Sea routes | BBC News
Several shipping firms have rerouted their vessels from the Red Sea after ships were attacked by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The world’s second largest shipping line, Maersk, said on Tuesday that it would reroute some of its vessels around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope.
The Red Sea is one of the world’s most important routes for oil and liquefied natural gas shipment, and analysts have warned the attacks could see a rise in prices.
The disruption has led the US to launch an international naval operation to protect ships on the Red Sea route.

Saudi Arabia has said three people have been killed after the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attacked Riyadh airport on Thursday.
It’s the latest in series of attacks on airports across the country, as the conflict escalates between Saudi-supported Yemeni government forces and the Houthis.
Elsewhere a US Treasury official has told the BBC that economic pressure from America has Tehran ‘on its knees’, and they hope the tactic will end the current regime in Iran.
Meanwhile Iran’s president has said his country will not walk away from peace negotiations, despite threats from the United States.

Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood describes herself as an “observer,” but in her many novels she has often offered us a portal to understanding, be it about totalitarianism, or the idea of other forms of life, future and past.
In her latest book, Old Babes in the Woods, she navigates death and the loss of loved ones, in short stories which are both acerbic and hilarious, as well as adding to her fantastical oeuvre, such as an octopus-like creature narrating its own interpretation of a folk tale.
Seven of the stories feature the characters Tig and Nell, a thinly-veiled portrayal of Atwood and her long-life partner Graeme Gibson who died four years ago. Margaret Atwood began her interview with Kirsty Wark with a reading from the darkly funny story, Widows.

The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences, including rape.
Donaldson was convicted in June of 18 offences, which he committed against two women when they were children, between 1985 and 2008.
Reading victim statements, the sentencing judge said one woman grew up feeling ashamed, while the other said: “every day I pray God will let me die”.

President Zelensky admitted he felt ‘betrayed’ by Trump in an interview with Piers Morgan. Where does that leave the US-Ukraine relationship?
Adam is joined by Sarah Smith, Americast host, and Shashank Joshi, Washington bureau chief at The Economist, to discuss what we’ve learned from Zelensky’s interview. Plus, what is going on with intelligence sharing between the US and Ukraine? And why is Starlink so important to the Ukrainian battlefield?
And, Keith Brown, Depute Leader of the SNP, is in Aberdeen to discuss the party conference and the SNP’s focus on securing another independence referendum, plus whether Andy Burnham travelling to Scotland during conference is a distraction.

The wars in the middle east (Israel, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, etc.) and in Ukraine will not end, but they will spread until the second coming of Jesus Christ. In these wars many nations (Russia, The USA, Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, Iran, Turkey, Germany, etc.) and terrorist movements (such as Hamas, Houti rebels and Hezbollah) are involved. These conflicts will set the stage for a great and last war: the invasion of Israel by a group of nations. Satan, the master of deception, controls the threads of these wars. In Yemen, for example, the Houthis starve the population of Sanaa (the capital of Yemen). Then they use skinny children to “get donations through the UN”; all donations go to the Houthis, who let the skinny children starve to death. Something similar occurs in Gaza (where most of the humanitarian aid ends up in Hamas tunnels). The profecy, in the Bible, that refers to the current conflicts can be found in Revelation 9:13-21 “And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” (Revelation 9:13-21, LDS King James Bible [Latter-Day Saints King James Bible]).
The last of these wars (which is going to take place in a few years) will last for three years and a half according to Revelation 11:1-2: "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months." (Revelation 11:1-2, LDS King James Bible [Latter-Day Saints King James Bible]).
The details of the last moments of that final war can be found in Zachariah 14:1-5: “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east… and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.” (Zachariah 14:1-5, LDS King James Bible [Latter-Day Saints King James Bible]).

The "impact on carbon emissions" is the most brazen attempt at greenwashing the justification of the Israeli Offence Forces politicide and ethnocide of the Palestinian citizens of Gasa and the West Bank. The US taxplayers funded proxy war in Ukraine and Israeli annihilation of Palestine is driving up costs and consumer prices. Designating yet another local resistance group as 'terrorists' is the US war mongering playbook.

The "Operation Prosperity Guardian" is NOT going to work against Houthis in the Red Sea as it didn't work with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
If the Houthis fire a "barrage of missiles" and "Kamikaze drones" to words the Commercial Cargo ships and Navy ships/destroyers like Hamas did in Gaza toward Israeli cities and towns, the Navy ships won't be able to eliminate the Threats in the Air, and they will easily be targeted and hit.
Houthis, Hamas, and Hezobollah's strategies are to "overwhelm and paralyze" the Air Defence Systems with the "simultaneous firing of hundreds of missiles /drones" towards the cargo and navy ships.
The outcome will be "catastrophic" for Coalition Forces.
Saudis know they will be in "losing battles" with Houthis again and they are trying to avoid another humiliating defeat against Houthis.

The Yemenis are noble people, and they are the original Arabs. They have a long history of freedom, courage, and defense of the weak. They defend children and women who are subjected to extermination by any group and starvation by the occupying Zionists, with Western American support, driven by the ambitions of a backward, racist political and religious atmosphere. Freedom for Palestine 🍉✌️🇦🇪
