Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.

More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.

The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.

Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Police in London need to move away from criminalising women involved in street sex work in the wake of the disastrous murder case of Simon Levy, officers have told the BBC.

Levy, a convicted sex offender, was left to kill two women and rape another – all of whom were vulnerable and sometimes engaged in street sex work – due to a series of failings, including by the Metropolitan Police.

The BBC was given access to the Met’s new two-officer female team in north London, created in a bid to engage with street sex workers, improve trust, and encourage them to report crimes committed against them.

The team described hearing about endemic levels of male violence against the women they have met.

Four people, including a teacher and children aged 5, 8 and 11, have been killed in a shooting at an elementary school in the US state of Oregon, local police say.

The suspected attacker, a 16-year-old boy, forced his way into the school by firing at locked doors. He was also killed in the shooting.

Emergency services in the city of Bend responded after receiving a call that an armed person had fired at a car before he was seen going into the Silver Rail Elementary School with a long gun.

The suspect was shot dead by an armed member of the community who followed the suspect inside the school, police say.

Two ships are reported to have sunk within 24 hours.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen say they have attacked the headquarters of Saudi Arabia’s oil company, Aramco.

Severe food shortages have been reported in Yemen, by the UN, as the fighting continues to escalate.
