[00:01:01] security concerns. And Welsh actor actor Matthew Rhys makes history
[00:01:04] history at the Emmy Awards, becoming becoming the first person to win
[00:01:07] win two leading acting prizes in
[00:01:11] in one night. Welcome. Yemen's Houthi
[00:01:17] Houthi movement says that Saudi Arabia Arabia has launched renewed air strikes
[00:01:21] strikes across the west of the country
[00:01:23] country after Iran backed group announced
[00:01:25] announced that it targeted military military bases in the kingdom. The
[00:01:28] The Houthis said that the Saudi attacks
[00:01:30] attacks hit areas including Taiz,
[00:01:33] Taiz, al-Jawf and Hodeida. The group group had earlier targeted the King
[00:01:36] King Khalid air base in southern southern Saudi Arabia. The extent
[00:01:39] extent of the damage in both attacks attacks has not been verified, and
[00:01:42] and there has been no reaction from from Riyadh. Well, last week the
[00:01:45] the Houthis seized control of Yemen's
[00:01:47] Yemen's Red Sea coast and the strategic
[00:01:50] strategic Bab al Mandab Strait, including
[00:01:52] including Perim Island. From Jerusalem,
[00:01:54] Jerusalem, our Middle East correspondent correspondent Hugo Bachega reports.
[00:01:57] reports. The Houthis say they fired fired dozens of missiles and drones
[00:02:00] drones at a military base in southern
[00:02:03] southern Saudi Arabia, targeting targeting radar systems, runways
[00:02:07] runways and ammunition depots, and and there were emergency alerts issued
[00:02:10] issued by the Saudi authorities for for several locations around this
[00:02:14] this base. And in Yemen, government
[00:02:16] government forces supported by Saudi Saudi Arabia are trying to fight
[00:02:20] fight back. The Houthis have accused
[00:02:22] accused Saudi Arabia of carrying
[00:02:24] carrying out more than 300 air strikes
[00:02:27] strikes in the past five days. This This has been a rapid advance by
[00:02:30] by the Houthis, capturing a key territory
[00:02:34] territory along the Red Sea. And And the fear is that this could reignite
[00:02:38] reignite the civil war in Yemen.
[00:02:40] Yemen. The United Nations says that
[00:02:43] that more than 80,000 people have have already been displaced because
[00:02:46] because of the fighting, and we still still don't know if the Houthis will
[00:02:50] will try to seize even more territory
[00:02:52] territory or if there will be a larger
[00:02:56] larger offensive by the government government and its allies. But the
[00:02:59] the violence in Yemen is also putting
[00:03:02] putting pressure on energy supplies supplies because the Red Sea has
[00:03:05] has become a key alternative for
[00:03:07] for Saudi oil exports. Given that
[00:03:09] that the Strait of Hormuz has been
[00:03:11] been effectively closed because of
[00:03:13] of the US war against Iran, and it
[00:03:16] it isn't clear if the Houthis have
[00:03:19] have the ability or are planning
[00:03:21] planning to disrupt a shipment in
[00:03:24] in this vital waterway. And finally,
[00:03:26] finally, reports say that a crucial
[00:03:29] crucial Saudi pipeline that was struck struck in a drone attack a few days
[00:03:32] days ago is likely to remain closed
[00:03:36] closed for a few weeks for the damage
[00:03:39] damage to be repaired. And this could
[00:03:41] could squeeze oil prices even further.
[00:03:45] further. Hugo Bachega there reporting reporting from Jerusalem. Let's get
[00:03:48] get a little bit more detail over
[00:03:50] over this because Greg Holyoke is is from BBC Monitoring and you've
[00:03:54] you've been really drilling in on on this. So in terms of where the
[00:03:57] the Houthis were striking, where where exactly is it and how does
[00:04:00] does this relate to that pipeline? pipeline? The Saudis have closed.
[00:04:03] closed. So I guess it's two slightly slightly separate things in that
[00:04:06] that the Houthis have been striking striking southern Saudi Arabia. What
[00:04:09] What we've been seeing actually, actually, which has been a kind of
[00:04:13] of difference from yesterday, is
[00:04:15] is Saudi Arabian media and also official
[00:04:19] official Saudi forces have announced
[00:04:22] announced that a series of places places have been struck. They were were staying completely silent on
[00:04:26] on this beforehand, but they've also also announced that 13 people have
[00:04:29] have been injured. A number of properties properties have been destroyed in
[00:04:31] in areas like Taif, which is in the the south. I mean, a good few hundred
[00:04:35] hundred kilometres from the border, border, but still sort of within within the range of these Houthi
[00:04:39] Houthi low tech drones and the ballistic ballistic missiles that they're using.
[00:04:43] using. That being said, when it comes comes to the Saudi pipeline, what
[00:04:45] what we've seen is suggested that that it's coming from Iraq rather
[00:04:49] rather than Yemen, which might be
[00:04:52] be is most likely to be sort of Iran Iran backed Shiite militant groups
[00:04:56] groups there, which would be sort sort of broadly aligned to the Houthis.
[00:04:59] Houthis. The latest we've also seen seen is that Jeddah Airport, which
[00:05:03] which is the second biggest I believe,
[00:05:05] believe, in, in Saudi Arabia, has has closed down its airspace. Flights
[00:05:09] Flights are not landing there. And And that is also important because because Jeddah is right by Mecca.
[00:05:12] Mecca. It is really the kind of central
[00:05:15] central point that people going on on the pilgrimages, which is actually
[00:05:18] actually after oil, the biggest source
[00:05:20] source of income for Saudi Arabia Arabia are now being blocked from
[00:05:24] from getting in. So on that then, then, is there concern that this
[00:05:27] this is potentially going to spread? spread? Yes and no. I mean, so what
[00:05:31] what we have seen actually today
[00:05:32] today as well, Saudi Arabia has been
[00:05:35] been reporting that there has been been call or there have been calls
[00:05:39] calls from a number of countries countries for an emergency meeting
[00:05:41] meeting on the Bab al-Mandab at the
[00:05:43] the UN Security Council. That comes comes from a lot of European countries,
[00:05:46] countries, notably including the the UK, but actually the US has not
[00:05:50] not been calling for it. And that that is interesting because we saw
[00:05:53] saw over the weekend which Saudi
[00:05:54] Saudi media did not talk about, that
[00:05:59] that Donald Trump said that the Houthis Houthis had directly got in touch touch with him. You know, this is
[00:06:02] is quite on brand for him actually actually getting directly in contact
[00:06:05] contact with these groups like he he did with Hamas beforehand. And
[00:06:09] And they apparently asked him not not to intervene because they didn't
[00:06:13] didn't have kind of a problem with with the US on this, which is a complete complete reversal from what we saw,
[00:06:17] saw, you know, a year or so ago. ago. So what we've seen so far, there
[00:06:21] there haven't been many strikes or or if any, strikes on Red Sea shipping,
[00:06:25] shipping, including Saudi shipping
[00:06:26] shipping actually. But the Houthis
[00:06:29] Houthis seem pretty intent at the the moment on keeping this quite quite a sort of lightning operation
[00:06:33] operation within Yemen and with Saudi Saudi Arabia, rather than maybe going
[00:06:36] going beyond their capabilities and and drawing in other powers like
[00:06:40] like the US. And just in terms of
[00:06:43] of we've spoken before about people people in Yemen, they're impoverished.
[00:06:47] impoverished. What kind of impact
[00:06:48] impact is all of this having on
[00:06:52] them? I mean, it's twofold. So first first of all, as you mentioned, you you know, it is actually the poorest
[00:06:56] poorest country in the region. It
[00:06:57] It is surrounded by these ultra rich
[00:07:00] rich Petro states or Gulf states states with huge natural resources. resources. Yemen doesn't have that.
[00:07:04] that. And years of war does not do do anything positive for an economy.
[00:07:08] economy. You know, people are on on the edge of starvation, definitely.
[00:07:12] definitely. And the second point point is that it started to lead
[00:07:15] lead to quite significant migration
[00:07:16] migration across the Bab al-Mandab
[00:07:19] al-Mandab Strait to Djibouti with
[00:07:21] with we are seeing reports of Djibouti
[00:07:24] Djibouti authorities picking up dhows
[00:07:26] dhows of up to 500 people. So it's it's definitely having a significant
[00:07:30] significant effect on, on the ground ground on people in Yemen. Greg Holyoke
[00:07:33] Holyoke from BBC Monitoring. As always, always, thanks for keeping an eye. eye. A very close eye across all
[00:07:37] all those developments. Thank you

[00:12:04] help the broadcaster compete with with the global streaming giants.
[00:12:07] giants. That's all on The Media Show
[00:12:11] Show on BBC News. Welcome back. You
[00:12:15] You are with BBC News. The Bank of of England will be taking a close
[00:12:19] close look at the latest employment employment data two days before its
[00:12:22] its latest decision on interest rates. rates. Official figures show the
[00:12:25] the jobs market remained weak, with
[00:12:28] with vacancies at a four year low. low. The office for National Statistics
[00:12:32] Statistics says that the unemployment unemployment rate remained unchanged
[00:12:36] unchanged at 4.9%. Total wage growth, growth, including bonuses, stood
[00:12:40] stood at 3.9% in the three months
[00:12:41] months to July, down from 4.2%. But
[00:12:44] But the figure is likely to draw draw fresh scrutiny to the triple
[00:12:47] triple lock for the state pension,
[00:12:49] pension, meaning it's likely to rise
[00:12:53] rise by £488 next April to just over
[00:12:56] over £13,000 a year. Well, my colleague colleague Katy Austin has been crunching
[00:13:00] crunching the numbers for us, so so just talk us through. Let's start
[00:13:03] start with the pensions then just just talk us through what we're learning
[00:13:06] learning about this. Yeah. So the the really important context to know
[00:13:09] know here is how the triple lock
[00:13:11] lock works. So the triple lock ensures
[00:13:13] ensures that every April pensions
[00:13:16] pensions go up by one of three factors,
[00:13:19] factors, whichever is higher. So
[00:13:20] So it's either 2.5%. The September
[00:13:24] September rate of CPI inflation or
[00:13:28] or average earnings for May to July.
[00:13:30] July. So we got that May to July
[00:13:33] July figure today for this year.
[00:13:35] year. Now that figure was 3.9% which
[00:13:38] which was a little bit below the
[00:13:40] the previous month but still is above
[00:13:43] above the current rate of inflation
[00:13:45] inflation which is 2.9% now. And And although we won't get September's
[00:13:49] September's inflation figure for for another month yet unless there's
[00:13:52] there's a big change in that inflation inflation figure, it looks like the
[00:13:56] the average earnings figure could could be the decisive one in terms
[00:14:00] terms of how much pensions go up
[00:14:02] up by next April. So what we do know
[00:14:06] know is that people who are on a a flat rate state pension, if it
[00:14:10] it goes up by as much as predicted
[00:14:12] predicted based on, on that 3.9%
[00:14:14] 3.9% figure, well, they would actually actually that pension level would
[00:14:18] would actually take them above the the personal allowance, which means
[00:14:20] means they would have to pay some
[00:14:22] some tax on it. The personal allowance
[00:14:26] allowance is £12,570, and they'd they'd need to pay tax, in theory
[00:14:28] theory on the couple of hundred pounds pounds above that. So no decision
[00:14:32] decision has been taken yet. But
[00:14:34] But it looks like this wages figure
[00:14:37] figure out today will have a big big influence on how much pensions
[00:14:41] pensions rise by from April, which which is likely to reignite the whole
[00:14:44] whole debate over the triple lock. lock. Some economists have kind of
[00:14:48] of criticised it recently as unaffordable, unaffordable, but politicians at
[00:14:51] at the moment, sticking with that that way of calculating pension rises.
[00:14:54] rises. And they won't be the government government won't be pleased that
[00:14:56] that the job market remains weak.
[00:14:58] weak. Katie. Yeah, I mean, some signs signs there that things are quite
[00:15:02] quite soft. It's really tough job job market for people who are trying
[00:15:06] trying to find work at the moment. moment. I mean unemployment actually
[00:15:08] actually has remained pretty flat
[00:15:11] flat at 4.9%. But the vacancy numbers numbers are quite interesting as
[00:15:14] as well. I mean they've been at at
[00:15:17] at multi-year lows now for a few
[00:15:19] few months. And today we saw a further
[00:15:22] further slide still hovering above above 700,000 vacancies out there.
[00:15:25] there. But the office for National National Statistics are suggesting
[00:15:28] suggesting in their commentary today today that there are smaller businesses
[00:15:32] businesses are continuing to report
[00:15:34] report that the cost of hiring people, people, increased labour costs are
[00:15:37] are affecting their decisions when when it comes to taking on workers. workers. So that's something that
[00:15:40] that I'm sure will get a lot of attention attention over the coming months
[00:15:43] months as well. Yeah, I'm sure over over the coming months and days,
[00:15:46] days, two days before the interest interest rates announcement. Katie, Katie, as always, thanks so much,
[00:15:50] much, Katy Austin. Their powers to
[00:15:52] to stop people wearing certain face face coverings including balaclavas,
[00:15:56] balaclavas, come into force today today in Nottingham city centre.
[00:15:59] centre. Police will be able to ask ask people to remove coverings if
[00:16:03] if they reasonably believe that they're they're being used to conceal their
[00:16:06] their identity to commit crime or
[00:16:09] or anti-social behaviour. Those who
[00:16:11] who refuse could be issued with a
[00:16:13] a fine, Navtej Johal reports. Intimidating
[00:16:18] Intimidating and aggressive that's that's how many feel about scenes
[00:16:21] scenes like these where people are are wearing balaclavas. But from
[00:16:24] from today in Nottingham city centre, centre, the police will have the
[00:16:27] the power to ask anyone wearing a a face covering to remove it if they
[00:16:31] they reasonably believe it's being being used to conceal their identity
[00:16:34] identity to commit crime or anti-social
[00:16:36] anti-social behaviour. Over the last
[00:16:38] last 12 months we've experienced experienced a lot of crime and anti-social
[00:16:42] anti-social behaviour here in the
[00:16:43] the city centre whereby predominantly predominantly young people are wearing
[00:16:47] wearing face coverings. They're normally
[00:16:50] normally balaclavas. A few nights nights earlier in Nottingham we came came across a young. Man wearing
[00:16:54] wearing a face covering, playing playing loud music. He didn't want
[00:16:57] want to talk to us but the officer officer who spoke to him did and
[00:17:00] and he had told him about the upcoming
[00:17:02] upcoming ban. How receptive was he he to that message? Oh yeah. Loved
[00:17:06] Loved it. Loved the idea of this. this. Yeah. Hopefully he's going
[00:17:09] going to pay attention to it. I really really do hope everybody does pay
[00:17:12] pay attention to it, and I think think it'll make the streets safer. safer. Well. As part of this plan,
[00:17:15] plan, if someone refuses to remove remove their face covering when asked
[00:17:18] asked to do so by police, they could
[00:17:20] could be given an on the spot £70
[00:17:24] £70 fine or face prosecution with
[00:17:26] with a maximum penalty of up to £1,000.
[00:17:30] £1,000. With young people, we're we're clearly not going to issue
[00:17:33] issue a monetary fine. They will will come here back. Into the city
[00:17:36] city centre and they will take part part in reparative activities. So
[00:17:40] So that might be litter picking or or graffiti removal. And we'll also
[00:17:43] also do a diversionary course with with young people because we want
[00:17:47] want them to understand why their their behaviour is intimidatory.
[00:17:50] intimidatory. One, two. 341 oh one.
[00:17:53] one. But these teenagers at a youth youth outreach project in the city,
[00:17:56] city, some of whom wear balaclavas, balaclavas, say young people wearing
[00:17:59] wearing them are often judged unfairly.
[00:18:02] unfairly. If I had a nice bike and and I worry about it could be because
[00:18:05] because I didn't want people to know know I would come to my house to to take my bike. Could be some committing
[00:18:09] committing crime. Could be because because I'm cold. There's so many many different reasons that people
[00:18:12] people wear them. I've had some friends friends that wear ballies when they're they're being mischievous. I've got

[00:18:19] going to make a difference? Well.
[00:18:22] Well. For me, I'll be honest, if if someone wants to wear a balaclava
[00:18:26] balaclava or they're going to wear wear a balaclava regardless, I. Think
[00:18:28] Think one or two people might stop stop wearing them and that's it.
[00:18:31] it. Why? Just because if they're
[00:18:35] they're using them to commit crime, crime, then what's another crime
[00:18:38] crime going to do? Police say they they won't target people wearing wearing face coverings for religious
[00:18:42] religious work or any other legitimate legitimate reasons. They say they
[00:18:45] they have the resources to enforce enforce the new rules and believe
[00:18:48] believe they will make the city safer.
[00:18:51] safer. Navtej Johal BBC News, Nottingham. Nottingham. A woman who was told
[00:18:55] told her stage four ovarian cancer
[00:18:57] cancer was inoperable is now cancer
[00:18:59] cancer free thanks to a new pioneering pioneering treatment. Caroline Ainslie
[00:19:03] Ainslie was diagnosed in March. She She feared she'd run out of options.
[00:19:06] options. She's been speaking to Alastair
[00:19:09] Alastair Fee. I just thought that
[00:19:12] that that was it. I was a goner, goner, I was going to die and I wasn't
[00:19:16] wasn't going to have very much life life left. I thought I would be dead
[00:19:19] dead within a year. Six months ago,
[00:19:22] ago, Caroline was given a diagnosis diagnosis that couldn't have been
[00:19:25] been worse. Ovarian cancer, which
[00:19:27] which had been caught late and had
[00:19:29] had advanced to stage four, the highest
[00:19:32] highest classification of the disease. disease. I had cancer in my ovary
[00:19:36] ovary and it was also in my liver, liver, and in my lung. I had cancer
[00:19:40] cancer pretty much everywhere. She
[00:19:42] She was initially told her cancer cancer was inoperable and there was
[00:19:45] was little doctors could do. It just
[00:19:48] just felt completely hopeless. They They were just finding microscopic.
[00:19:52] microscopic. Residual tumour areas areas there. Caroline responded so
[00:19:55] so well to an initial round of chemotherapy.
[00:19:58] chemotherapy. Her consultant suggested suggested she undergo a pioneering
[00:20:02] pioneering treatment that involves involves pouring heated chemotherapy
[00:20:05] chemotherapy into the body after after her cancerous tumours are removed.
[00:20:08] removed. The process is called Hipec.
[00:20:11] Hipec. Hipec heated intraperitoneal intraperitoneal chemotherapy is essentially
[00:20:15] essentially us putting chemotherapy chemotherapy into a carrier solution solution inside the abdomen. Once
[00:20:18] Once we've finished doing the operation. operation. Once we've achieved complete
[00:20:21] complete clearance of disease. So So that is circulating for 90 minutes
[00:20:25] minutes to mop up any cancer cells cells that might remain that are
[00:20:28] are microscopic that of course we we can't see with the naked eye.
[00:20:31] eye. So we're healing really nicely nicely around the edges. It's granulating.
[00:20:34] granulating. Well. At this moment moment in time, I'm cancer free and
[00:20:38] and I am absolutely delighted about about that. Caroline's treatment
[00:20:42] treatment journey is almost over. over. She'll now be closely monitored
[00:20:45] monitored in the months ahead. I I can't believe you just said that.
[00:20:49] that. Hopefully my story inspires inspires other people to realise
[00:20:52] realise that actually having a cancer cancer diagnosis does not mean the
[00:20:56] the end of your life. It certainly certainly changes it. But there is
[00:21:00] is a great deal of hope in the future future because of the advancements

[00:21:40] beaten track to find out what makes
[00:21:43] makes this country unique. This is
[00:21:45] is ultimate Japan. This time I visit
[00:21:50] visit Toba in the south to witness witness the ultimate Japanese fishing
[00:21:54] fishing tradition. I'm on a small
[00:21:56] small island in an area called Toba,
[00:21:58] Toba, which is home to one of Japan's
[00:22:01] Japan's most unusual communities. communities. A group, mostly women
[00:22:05] women who over generations have forged forged a really tight bond with both
[00:22:09] both the sea and nature generally.
[00:22:18] generally. AMA are iconic Japanese
[00:22:21] Japanese free who collect seafood, seafood, seaweed and even pearls
[00:22:24] pearls from the sea floor. Almost
[00:22:27] Almost all AMA are women, and many
[00:22:29] many keep diving until their 70s.
[00:22:31] 70s. 80s and even 90s diving without
[00:22:36] without oxygen in their traditional traditional white outfits. It's a
[00:22:38] a centuries old way of life that's
[00:22:40] that's been passed down through generations.
[00:22:43] generations. But today's divers under under threat from all the pressures
[00:22:47] pressures of modernity, are having having to adapt. Like here, displaying
[00:22:50] displaying their skills for tourists.
[00:22:54] tourists. Talbi what is this show
[00:22:57] show about. AMA uno...
[00:23:10] Which do you prefer getting real fish or do you like doing this
[00:23:13] this and performing to tourists.
[00:23:17] tourists. Or not? Hi. It's kind of
[00:23:24] of ironic because for a long time
[00:23:27] time Japan was a homogenous and quite
[00:23:28] quite inward looking society. But
[00:23:32] But it's outsiders, tourists who who are now providing a major industry
[00:23:35] industry here. But rest assured elsewhere elsewhere there is still some genuine
[00:23:39] genuine AMA diving going on a few
[00:23:42] few miles along the shore in Ozutsu Ozutsu I meet some divers who are
[00:23:45] are still making a living from this
[00:23:47] this traditional form of fishing.
[00:23:53] fishing. He Abha so they. Abha haha
[00:23:59] haha to. Watashi wa Umi Asa yukimasu.
[00:24:09] yukimasu. I don't know some Oyo State
[00:24:16] State mo. Yoko Ono ono. Yet these
[00:24:30] these ama still need to supplement supplement their income by preparing
[00:24:33] preparing meals for. Well, people
[00:24:36] people like me. How is it different
[00:24:39] different now diving to when you
[00:24:40] you first started doing it? Kodomo
[00:24:49] Kodomo no koro so Martin Lindsay.
[00:24:52] Lindsay. And why do you think that
[00:24:55] that is? Do you think diving will
[00:25:01] will carry on? I know, I know.
[00:25:17] Even having spent just a few hours with these charming ladies
[00:25:20] ladies has made me realise that the
[00:25:22] the traditional old ways aren't just just romantic. They actually offer
[00:25:26] offer a viable way of life for the the next generation. It was really
[00:25:29] really interesting to learn that that people are coming back here
[00:25:32] here to actually live and work as
[00:25:34] as AMA divers. Maybe it's just very
[00:25:37] very Japanese. The past is also
