Okay, we're live, Alexander.

How are you doing this Friday morning?

Well, I'm personally doing very well.

I'm not so sure about the state of the world, but I personally am doing very well.

And I think it's always great to be back on the Duran and discussing programs,

even the topics that we're going to discuss today is, I think, hardly, you know, a cheerful one.

Let's really like that.

I could almost swear like four or five in the morning, I woke up to noises of like, it felt like I was listening to to planes and to just loud sounds

and I woke up and I'm very close to everything that's going on I mean 20 minute flight 25

minute flight and actually Cyprus is where the UK is launching the strikes on Yemen.

And I don't know if it was my imagination or what, but I woke up and I could swear I was hearing things.

And I opened up my notebook and got the news of what's going on.

So that's what we're going to talk about.

U.S., UK, strike on Yemen.

Alexander, you have another show to get to in about 30 minutes.

So this will be a short live, but we did want to do a live and update everybody as to what's going on and how we think it's going to unfold.

So, Alexander, you've got 30 minutes.

Just let me know when we need to cut out, all right?

Yes.

US, UK, striking at Yemen.

What are your thoughts?

Well, the first thing to say is it's interesting that you've identified the two countries that carried out these strikes. U.S. UK. Now, there is supposed to be an international coalition operating in the Red Sea, but notice that this international coalition has reduced in terms of actual air strikes, missile strikes, to just two countries.
