Yemen War: Houthis drone strike Abu Dhabi. ‘Yemen cannot sit by while it is destroyed’ (E1097)

We speak to Nasser Arrabyee, director of Yemen Now. He discusses the Houthi drone attack on Abu Dhabi in the UAE and Yemen’s right to self defence, the worsening humanitarian crisis as the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing campaign continues against Yemen, continuing US/Western arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and much more. Finally, we speak to Max Lawson of Oxfam about the ‘Inequality Kills’ report, which says that while 99% of humanity’s income fell, 160 million were pushed into poverty, and one person died every four seconds over the course of the pandemic… the top 10 richest men saw their wealth more than double from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion dollars – a rate of $1.2 billion a day.
