Israel launches wave of strikes on Yemen

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel has launched airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen - vowing to destroy its infrastructure. We ask whether Israel has opened a new phase in the Middle East war. Also tonight: Twenty years on from the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, the remarkable account of a man who survived the worst rail disaster in history. And 40 years after Joan Hickson's portrayal of Miss Marple hit the screens, we reflect on why many consider her the best to have played the role - drawing on the little grey cells of TV's Poirot, David Suchet.
