And New Zealand has regained the World Record for the largest number of people taking part in a haka. Welcome to the programme. We start in the Middle East, where israel has carried out what it called large scale strikes on yemen. Israel says it was targeting houthis energy facilities. A Power Plant and Sea Port were hit in the yemeni city of hodeidah. Videos have been posted on social media. Clearly a real difference to what we heard just a few days ago from world leaders, who were trying to arrange some sort of ceasefire deal, some sort of de escalation. They were talking about 21 days of no military action, of talks, but what weve seen over the last couple of days, and particularly with that pivotal moment here in the Middle East on Friday Evening, that large Scale Attack here In Beirut, and the News Yesterday that Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, had been ki
