why now and where will it lead? we ll speak to the national security council s john kirby about all of that straight ahead. plus, just three days away now, the final stretch for republican candidate in iowa. how they re hoping to get people to the caucuses with even a foot of snow potentially arriving. and it s not just in iowa, that snow is coming down hard across the midwest and the great lakes. we ll have a full forecast of what to expect there and across the country. hello on this friday, it is 10:00 eastern. i m ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with that breaking news, what could turn into a major escalation of the conflict in the middle east. the united states and the uk launching strikes against houthi targets in yemen hitting airports, military bases and weapons facilities. these strikes in response to weeks of attacks by the militants on commercial ships in the red sea, and now the houthis vowing to retaliate saying those involved will, quote, p
the cape of good hope. that s an extra 3,500 nautical miles, or up to two week s sailing, adding as much as $1 million per ship, in fuel alone. maersk ceo vincent clark told the bbc s aaron heslehurst that these extra costs are already being passed on to consumers. it s one of the most important arteries of global trade and having to re route all of this cargo now south of the cape of good hope is going to create significant disruptions to the global supply chain for the duration in which we have to do that, and probably a few months more as we have to get back then into into normal. so you need to see, i think, a stronger mobilisation. the other thing is that the level of threat is actually evolving and so for the coalition that is trying to put in place this safe passage, they need to constantly reassess the level of protection. but for us, it is really important that this is being addressed with diligence and with a strong mobilisation of the international community so tha
