- Yemens' civil war has flared up in recent weeks, as the Iran-backed Houthi movement seized strategically important stretches of the Red Sea coast, in a rapid offensive.
Oil prices have risen on fears of further disruption to the global economy, following six months of war between the US, Israel and Iran.
Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed on both sides during the Houthis' advance, which came after the collapse of a four-year informal ceasefire. The UN says more than 120,000 people have been displaced by the escalation.
But who are the Houthis, what are they targeting, and what will the impact be on the rest of the world?
The Security Brief's Christian Fraser and Mikey Kay explain.

- Description
- Has Donald Trump just rebranded AI? This week, the US President declared that "Artificial Intelligence" sounds too fake and should be renamed "Super Intelligence" instead.
Whether "SI" catches on remains to be seen, but as the world debates what to call the technology, a much bigger question is emerging: who gets to control it?
In this episode of AI Decoded we examine a pivotal week for artificial intelligence as Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping, with AI high on the agenda.
Joining the panel are Parmy Olson, Bloomberg technology columnist and author of Supremacy, and Winston Ma, former executive at China Investment Corporation, alongside AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani. Together they explore the intensifying AI rivalry between the world's two superpowers, competing visions for regulating the technology, and whether international cooperation is still possible.

- After years spent sheltering from the public gaze, Hunter Biden re-entered the mainstream consciousness last summer via a surprise YouTube appearance alongside prominent alternative media figure Andrew Callaghan. The interview went viral, and ever since the embattled son of former president Joe Biden has seen his online reputation soar.
On this episode, Matt and Marianna track Biden Jr's journey from ridicule to redemption, and ask whether he has fumbled that newly found following with a dubious crypto enterprise, an all-too-familiar fall from grace in the age of the internet.
Also this week, actor Channing Tatum has denied he is behind an Instagram 'burner' account which was critical of his ex-partners, despite being its only follower.
Sleuths had discovered comments across several posts which appeared to support him while calling out Jenna Dewan, Zoe Kravitz and others.

At the end of the last week Donald Trump banned three news outlets - CNN, Politico and MS Now - from reporting inside the White House. But the ban has been overturned - for now - in an emergency hearing by a federal judge, who ordered the banned journalists’ press credentials be immediately reinstated for 14 days.
It’s still not entirely clear what prompted Donald Trump to punish the outlets although it’s been reported that it may have been prompted by negative coverage he was shown by his aide, Natalie Harp.
In this episode, Justin, Anthony and Marianna speak to former CNN correspondent, anchor and bureau chief Frank Sesno, who is now a Journalism professor at The George Washington School of Media and Public Affairs. The latest row comes at a difficult moment for the ...

- Services provided by state-owned telecoms operator Ethio Telecom have been completely cut, although those from the much smaller private firm Safaricom remain operational.
Internet monitoring group NetBlocks earlier posted on X that network data indicated a sub-national internet shutdown in northern Tigray.
Clashes between Tigrayan forces and their allies and Ethiopia's federal troops broke out on Wednesday, prompting heightened tension and reports of panic buying.
During the two-year civil which ended in 2022, Tigray was totally cut off from the outside world.
Limited access to cash, food and medicine pushed hundreds of thousands into famine-like conditions.
The BBC has contacted Ethiopian authorities for comment.

For Saturday's afternoon celebration, an altar has been built on the Place de la Concorde and a large area around the Champs-Élysées sealed off by police.
President Emmanuel Macron greeted the Pope at Orly airport on Friday morning, and is due to hold talks with him at the Élysée Palace on geopolitical issues and artificial intelligence (AI) later. He will also deliver a speech with the Pope in Metz.
However, the president will not be at any of the Pope's Masses, largely to avoid breaching France's strict separation of state and religion.

- Last week, President Donald Trump barred CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House, accusing them of spreading "fake news". After their reporters had their press passes revoked and were denied access to the building, the three outlets launched a joint legal challenge, arguing that the move was unconstitutional.
How unprecedented is this decision? And how does it compare with the treatment of journalists in other countries around the world?
Jason Rezaian, host of the Washington Post podcast Freedom Desk and the paper's former Tehran bureau chief, has a unique perspective on these questions. While reporting from Iran, he experienced restrictions on press freedom and was ultimately imprisoned by the regime. Since his release, he has become a prominent advocate for press freedom around the world.
He joins The Global Story’s Tristan Redman to discuss where President Trump's decision fits into a broader pattern in the relationship between politi...

The country's cybersecurity agency is launching an investigation into the incident, which OpenAI says it only detected two months after it happened.

The prime minister told reporters that "I don't think it's fair for football fans to be singled out", as he suggested a change could be trialled.
Laws are in place which prevent drinking in view of the pitch at stadiums for clubs in the top five tiers of men's football in England. Other sports do not face such a restriction.
The Football Supporters' Association said the "outdated" legislation should be reviewed, but police chiefs have warned against relaxing the law and would like to meet the PM to "explain the challenges".
