Also why was the former Yemeni President killed by the Houthis -- who had been his allies? We explain the latest ominous twist in the civil war. And we remember the celebrated Indian actor, Shashi Kapoor, whose death, aged 79 has been announced. Picture: Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker Credit: AFP/Getty Images.
