Yemen: Your questions answered

US and UK forces have carried out air strikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen. Strikes were reported in the capital Sanaa, Hudaydah, Dhamar and the north-western Houthi stronghold of Saada. Western forces took the action after cargo ships in the Red Sea were attacked by the Houthis - an Iran-backed rebel group which controls a large part of Yemen. We bring you the latest developments, and our regional experts answer listener questions about the ongoing conflict and its wider implications.

We continue to report from the International Court of Justice in the Hauge, where South Africa has brought a case against Israel, alleging that it is committing genocide in Gaza.

We speak to the inventor behind the Millennium Camera, which will take the world’s slowest photo, with an exposure time of over a thousand years. Based in Tucson, Arizona, it will provide future inhabitants there with a time capsule of what’s changed and what hasn’t.

We look ahead to the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament, which kicks of in the Ivory Coast tomorrow. Our reporter there gives us a preview of what to look out for as 24 of the continent’s finest teams battled it out for glory.
