The Saudi-led Coalition in Yemen carried out air strikes on Houthi rebel targets around the capital of Sanaa on Thursday in response to a deadly attack on Aden airport that killed at least 26 people.
Reports suggested that more than 15 sites around the Iran-backed rebel-controlled capital had been hit on Thursday. Witnesses told Reuters news agency that sites included the capital s airport. There was no information on casualties from the strikes.
The raids came in response to an attack on Aden airport on Wednesday as the country’s new unity government landed for their first meeting. Glass and debris covers the damaged portion of the airport in Yemen’s southern city of Aden after an explosion. The blast struck the airport building shortly after a plane carrying the newly formed Cabinet landed on Wednesday. No one on the government plane was hurt. AP

A new book examining China’s economic success reveals the dramatic rise of Xi Jinping from the son of a revolutionary to the head of state
China would have gone the Soviet way had it not changed 40 years ago and initiated economic reforms and liberalized its trade policies. Prior to that, China under Mao Zedong was typical of the “revolutionary” states maintaining policies that kept the economy very poor, stagnant, centrally controlled, vastly inefficient, and relatively isolated from the global economy. What we have now is a consequence of the post-Mao “counter-revolution” under Den Xiaoping that elevated China to a superpower. Today, it has achieved another milestone: the leadership of a low-key honest man, Xi Jinping.

those things than there ever were before. and since people come one by one, not in percentages, that is encouraging. the others thing is there are always revivals in this country. things aid and then some someone gives a good example and people start reading, or someone makes fine legislation and people start buying it. so it comes and those. and i think it packs a punch which is out of proportion to the number who do it. people who do it have some influence, not much, but it is not hopeless. .. without further ado, this book that you see, triple cross, is the third book that i have done, for harpercollins. i started this series literally two days after 9/11. my son, christopher, went to high school two blocks above ground zero. in the day after, the night of when i knew he was safe i shortly thereafter find out that ronnie bucher, a fire marshal, and incredible hero that you will hear me talk about today, ronnie boca perished in the 78th floor. he died with his boots o
