White House texted secret Yemen war plans to journalist
The US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen
The US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in an encypted group chat two hours before the United States launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen. The revelation came to light because a journalist was mistakenly added to the group. We'll look at this extraordinary security breach.
We'll take a look at the demonstrations taking place in Turkey. The Turkish President says the supporters of the jailed Istanbul mayor have turned into a movement of violence.
And the United Nations says it will reduce its international staff in Gaza for now. Recent Israeli strikes and security concerns are at the heart of this decision.
