Today's program reports on the war in Yemen where growing military pressure on the Red Sea Port of Hodeidah threatens to unleash a humanitarian disaster beyond what the Yemeni people are already suffering.  The United States and France as well as the UK are the leading backers of the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi rebels who currently hold the port, as well as the capital Sanaa.  Other reports include the killing of two more Palestinians by Israeli forces, the first, a 21 year old paramedic at Friday's demonstration at the Israeli fence with Gaza, the second her cousin, two days later whom Israeli soldiers claim was carrying an axe.
