UK Sanctions on Israeli Settlements: The E1 Controversy Unfolds

In a wave of drone and missile attacks attributed to Yemen’s Iran‑backed Houthi movement, Saudi Arabia’s cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran suffered fires at several oil and energy facilities, injuring 73 people and halting operations. The Saudi‑led coalition’s spokesman, Maj Gen Turki al‑Maliki, condemned the assault as a “dangerous escalation” and warned that the group would be met with decisive operational measures. Houthi leadership claimed the strikes were retaliation for a barrage of Saudi air raids over the past week on Yemeni provinces, accusing the kingdom of committing “grave crimes.” The conflict follows a collapse of a four‑year‑old informal ceasefire and a maritime embargo that has intensified fighting on Yemen’s southwest coast, with more than 300 fatalities and widespread displacement. The Red Sea, a vital corridor for global oil shipments, remains at the centre of this regional tension.

An investigation has been opened after staff women at the Eiffel Tower were asked to leave their positions during a visit by a Hindu religious delegation.

French politicians, including the National Assembly president and Marine Le Pen, condemned the incident, while the Eiffel Tower's president vowed an internal review.

City officials have disclosed 68 boxes of documents raising concerns about toxic air that affected survivors and residents after the Twin Towers collapsed. The papers reveal that the public was reassured of safety while officials may have known of dangers. Mayor Mamdani vows to publish the findings and spend $34 M to provide transparency. The release comes after a lawsuit by 9/11 Health Watch and may shape next steps in health claims.
