    THE latest US air attacks on the Yemeni capital Sanaa killed 12 people and wounded 30, the Houthi-led government said today.

    This followed the news that US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had shared a second Signal chat in which he gave details of an earlier strike on Yemen.

    The Houthis said the latest strike had hit the Farwa neighbourhood market in Sanaa’s Shuub district.Footage screened on the al-Masirah satellite television channel showed damage to vehicles and buildings in the area, with screaming onlookers holding what appeared to be a dead child. Strikes overnight into today also hit other areas of the country, including the Amran, Hodeida, Marib and Saada governorates.Last week, US air attacks on the Ras Isa fuel port killed at least 74 people.

    The US is targeting the Houthis in response to their attacks on Israeli and US shipping in the Red Sea.

    LABOUR faced calls to focus its efforts on peace-building today after it emerged Britain is set to ramp up weapons production. 

    British war profiteer BAE Systems is erecting shipping container units across the country to produce RDX explosives, used in 155mm artillery rounds. 

    The rounds are among the ammunition that Britain has supplied to Ukraine.Each shipping container will produce up to 100 tonnes each year, according to a Times report.BAE Systems’ Maritime and Land Defence Solutions business development director Steve Cardew told the paper: “The whole challenge for our industry is around production scale-up and creating enough industrial capacity to effectively match Russia and other hostile nations.”According to the report, BAE’s production of 155mm rounds will have increased 16-fold over the last two years once its explosives filling facility at Glascoed becomes operational this summer.

     Youth demand activists on April 14, 2024

    YOUTH DEMAND swarmed London on Saturday to demand a trade embargo on Israel and taxes on the super-rich to pay climate reparations.

    Sixty-three activists split into two groups and disrupted traffic across the capital including at Aldgate East station, High Holborn, London Bridge and Oxford Circus.

    Both teams then converged on Waterloo Bridge where they remained for half an hour, before two supporters were arrested under breach of Section 7 of the Public Order Act.A Youth Demand spokesperson said: “Since October 7 2023, more than 10 children in Gaza have lost one or both of their legs each day since Israel began indiscriminately murdering civilians. “The operations to save these children’s lives are often carried out without anaesthetic due to the ongoing blockade of food and medical supplies being prevented from entering Gaza. “The UK is providing the weapons and logistical support that are being used to blow these children’s limbs off. “What sort of ‘decent’ and ‘respectable’ society allows this to happen in 2025?? We need a total trade embargo with Israel right now!”

    THE Scottish government is failing to make urgent progress to meet its goals on reducing emissions, an environmental watchdog said today.

    Emma Pinchbeck, chief executive of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), said ministers are not delivering on the “short-term stuff” needed to meet the 2045 net-zero target.

    The intervention comes a year after the Scottish government scrapped its legally binding annual and interim targets for cutting carbon emissions after admitting they would not be met.The overall goal of net zero by 2045 remains in place but experts have warned urgent progress is needed now if that is to be achieved.Speaking to Holyrood magazine a month before the CCC publishes its latest advice to the Scottish government, Ms Pinchbeck said climate progress across Britain was stalling.She said: “The much more important thing for the Scottish government to focus on right now is progress right in front of their faces in the next five to 10 years.is failing to make urgent progress to meet its goals on reducing emissions, an environmental watchdog said today.

     El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele waves as he departs following a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump, April 14, 2025, in Washington

    THE Venezuelan government has slammed El Salvador’s far-right President Nayib Bukele for admitting that he was holding 252 Venezuelan migrants as “hostages” in detention centres and demanded their immediate release.

    Mr Bukele said on Sunday that he was proposing a prisoner swap with Venezuela.

    He said El Salvador would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States who have been imprisoned by his government for what he described as “political prisoners” in Venezuela.

    …

    Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab called Mr Bukele’s statements “cynical” and referred to the Salvadoran leader as a “neofascist.”He said Mr Bukele accepted that he was holding “252 Venezuelans hostage in El Salvador.”Mr Saab demanded that the Salvadorean government provide Caracas with a list of the people detained as well as their legal status and medical reports. El Salvador’s actions are “a serious violation of international human rights law and constitutes a crime against humanity that mimics the repugnant Nazi practices of the mid-20th century,” he charged.
