Yemen: Houthis to be re-designated as terror group by US | BBC News

Published

on



The US will re-designate the the Houthis as “global terrorists”, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced on Wednesday.

He said the designation is in response to the Iran-backed group’s attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

The decision will require US financial institutions to freeze Houthi funds and its members will be banned from the US.

A Houthi spokesman said the decision would not stop the group trying to interrupt Israeli shipping operations.

On Wednesday evening, a Houthi spokesperson said the group had successfully targeted the Genco Picardy, and that the attack was a response to “the American-British aggression against our country”.

    Typical of the US can't beat them so redefine the narrative and change people's views on an organisation that is definitely not terrorists. They have done it for years anyways. Wasn't mandela listed as an terrorist by the us. Thei cia should be declared terrorists due to all that they have in the world for the us goverment.

    The Houthis' slogan this past decade is "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

    In other words, they are off the scale certifiable.

    So What if Houthis are declared as terror organisation by. USA . America has declared Al Qaida and Taliban as Terror Organisation , but what has happened . American President bows before Taliban to give them passage to escape from Afghanistan. It was a shameful Withdrawl. But since this was common in their society as long ago they have escaled from Vietnam . Houthis are becoming more powerful day by day . Attacks upon US led ships in Red Sea are going high day by day . Israel within a short time is dying day by day .

    The Houthi's aren't even independent they're just an extension of Iran

    The group can't fire a bullet, lift a finger or even fart without Iran's permission

    The whole group is just a way for Iran to cause conflict in the region without any repercussions to themselves

    Israeli government killed over 30,000 Palestinians civilians in 3 months, crickets from the west. Yemen fires a few drones at a few commercial ships with no deaths in defiance to the Israel genocide to the Palestinians and the west brands them terrorists. Welcome to the upside down.

Rise in babies in care proceedings raises fears of unnecessary adoptions, experts say | BBC News

Published

on



The number of children involved in care proceedings before they reach their first birthdays is at a persistently high level across England, according to experts who have published new figures.

Data from the universities of Lancaster and Oxford indicates care proceedings for babies have risen by 64% over the past two decades, with one in 118 infants affected. The figures – up to 2024-25 – peaked during Covid, before dropping slightly and plateauing.

While there are cases where it is unsafe for parents to continue contact with their children, experts have told File on 4 Investigates that many babies may not have needed to go into care if support had been in place.

And, since very young children who go into care are more likely to be adopted than older children, there are also concerns from experts that some may have been permanently separated from their birth families unnecessarily.

The BBC understands that new guidance for Family Court judges, to significantly reduce the number of short-notice care hearings – within hours or days of a baby being born – will be announced before the end of the year.
