Houthi militants hit American-owned cargo ship
The British Prime Minister warns that the attacks have to stop.
Houthis say that all US and British ships are targets - so is there a diplomatic solution to the mounting tensions in the Red Sea?
Also on the programme: we hear from the US state of Iowa, where the first big electoral test is taking place ahead of this year's presidential election; and we head to Iceland where two women tell us what it's like to live with the fear of the ground opening up under their feet.
