Houthi’s Red Sea blockade, India’s cockroach uprising & hundreds of baby Haarlands?
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi forces have declared an immediate maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia, threatening to choke off the strategic sea route and further destabilise global energy markets. With US-Iran tensions already at a boiling point, will this latest escalation plunge the Middle East into a broader regional war? Plus, from satire to a massive student uprising, could India’s “Cockroach” movement test Modi’s power? And the post-World Cup baby craze sweeping Peru.
