US re-designates Houthis as global terrorist organisation
The Yemen-based Houthi militants vow to continue their attacks in the Red Sea.
The Houthis say they'll carry on attacking ships in the Red Sea, despite the terrorist designation. A spokesman for the group tells us that they are "at war" with the US and the UK.
Also on the programme: Iran insists its missile and drone attack on Pakistani territory was targeting a militant group; and the pioneering Irish rap trio making a move to the big screen.
