starts now. good evening. we re following breaking ne. the u.s. and british military have launched strikes against targets in houthi controlled yemen, according to two u.s. officials. this comes after the iranian-backed militant group has launched a series of attacks on commercial ships in the red ahich has stoked fears of a wider conflict in the region already reeling from the israel/hamas war. we have a lot to get to. this is obviously a huge development in the region. you re looking at a map right there. the challenge has been that the houthi attacks have caused ships that would normally go through the suez canal to have to go around the horn of africa, meaning it takes a lot longer to get there. there have been some limited military strikes that have killed some houthis that were involved in this blockade. the houthis launched this blockade in protest to the killing of palestinians in gaza. so that is just the setup, the background to what s going on. the houthis are an
A roundup of the days events. Five people were taken to the hospital. Outside the gates, at least 300 cars were totaled. As i mentioned, several animals did not survive it. We move on now, to a Police Officer in pennsylvania charged with voluntary manslaughter tonight in the shooting death of a man, after that officer responded to a call near an Amusement Park. Heres abcs steve osunsami. Get on the ground right now. Reporter here comes the moment where a pennsylvania prosecutor tonight is saying that the Police Officer on the other side of this police suv went too far. Get on the ground. Get on the ground reporter 44yearold joseph santos, who police say is seen on Cell Phone Video refusing commands, was shot and killed. Tonight, theyre charging officer Jonathan Roselle with voluntary manslaughter. In my opinion, this was the act of a relatively inexperienced officer. Reporter officer roselle had just graduated from the Police Academy last december. In july, he was called to this Amusem
upwards of 80 drones, ballistic missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles at ships in the region. many being shot down or knocked down by the u.s. military, but several actually have struck several of those ships and the results here, joy, is major commercial shipping companies throughout the world have started moving and rerouting away from that area. it s adding cost, adding time. ultimately, it could add more cost to consumers who buy some of the goods that will be moving through that area. again, tonight, the u.s. and the british military striking back. the effort is to deter these continued attacks by the houthi rebels in yemen. do we have more specificity on what kind of targets were being struck? we re still working on that. i can tell you literally some of the aircraft have just landed in the literally last minutes from conducting these strikes. we should know more this evening. but we should think about hardened structures they would go after. and the goal here, again, is to
reporter: that explosion in the distance is the work of u.s. special forces targeting isis in the mountains of afghanistan. where america s longest war rages on tonight. we were given exclusive access to the american fighters. in 17 years reporting on this war, this was the first time to go with the u.s. army green berets. they checked our footage after traveling the dirt roads that lead to isis, all to protect security on the ground. what you re looking at now is the u.s. military striking isis positions, isis tunnels, trying to degrade their capacity. but while they have air superiority, the truth is that they still have to put troops on the ground to take the fight to the militants. this is perhaps the most dangerous part of the mission on this day. and we joined the u.s. troops as they go door-to-door checking for isis fighters and hidden bombs.
philippines. it has been a problem for several months. the u.s. has provided them some additional intelligence access, some cessnas and a couple of drones recently. but now there s talk of doing several things. number one, providing them, naming an operation, naming a u.s. military operation which has some implications. what it would also potentially mean is giving some, providing some armed drones. the u.s., of course, would control the armed drones, but they would share some inof the intelligence and it would mean the u.s. taking air strikes against isis in the philippines which would be, of course, the u.s. military striking against isis in another country around the world. like i said, we re diving into that with bill neely and others in the show. thank you for that. with me, jamie as well as a senior state department adviser and now a senior fellow at the
