Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

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.

And notice the scale, only about one degree in all that time.There is a bigger temperature change overnight let alone between summer and winter just in the UK let alone in some drsrts where they can change 30 to40 deg C over 24 hrs. One deree over a century or more is nothing. Stop being hysterical, you are not going to die of global wrming.
At leastt he american woman understands that you need to stop biulding on flood plains that you know will flood. That is just stupidity and greed.

Don't bother tackling it. Climate change saved 555,103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022). Go Climate change!

The billionaires have bought democracy by sponsoring the politicians and influencing the media if not owning it.
The only way to tackle climate change is by getting rid of billionaires.
WE don't need them. They need us… to be poor. And their wealth accumulation addiction
means there is no end to their greed and they will do anything to get their fix up to and including destroying OUR planet.

We are constantly lied to about climate change to flees money from hard working people. Climate change has happened since the planet was created. Stop robbing people and calling it green TAX.

Un are telling uk hurry up and become greener because we’re polluting too much when in fact we are one of the less polluting countries of the world!!! There’s something more at play here, when it’s the likes of China, Russia and the USA who are the most polluting

CO2 Climate change is overhyped. The science and jury is still massively out on how much involvement co2 has or whether the sun is the main driver. But it's convenient to blame co2 emissions since money can be made reducing them but little can be done to regulate the sun. Although bill Gates, China and 52 countries are trying using geoengineering to modify weather and even block out the sun. What could go wrong with that I wonder? 🙄
BBC tell the full story please. Anybody who doesn't believe Google Southern Ocean cooling. Last year (2021) was the coldest sustained period in record in Antarctica. That's a fact. The Northern hemisphere may be warming but the Southern is cooling. And it's man made so many made climate change isn't actually a lie.

There’s a lot of commenters on here that are evil agents sent by Satan to post incorrect information. They always have blank pages and just come on here to confuse people. Jesus is coming soon, please take heed to ALL the worldwide events the Bible spoke about in the last days. We are at that time, don’t gamble with your eternity by thinking that this is just nature or climate change. Accepting Jesus is the only way to escape what will come after this. Please read the book of Revelation in the Bible that explains it all. God bless.
