Amid fears of escalation in the conflict between Israel and the Houthis in Yemen, a Houthi spokesman has told Newshour why he believe airstrikes will continue.

Israel has warned the Houthis in Yemen that its action against them has only just begun. This came after a series of Israeli strikes on Yemen killed at least six people.

Also in the programme: As South Korea gets its third president in less than a fortnight, we'll find out why and assess the damage to the country's economy; and NASA makes history by flying closer to the sun than anyone else.
