have said this is about the conflict in gaza but candidate gain anything else from what they are doing? i else from what they are doing? 1 think, firstly, what has been demonstrated to date and this additional attack by houthi, they were not effectively deterred which is unsurprising. it was not expected that they would be military downgraded to a level where they would be unable to launch a fresh attack, which they have done. the houthi should be seen within the context of the wider israel— hamas war, and what they hope to achieve is both international and regional and at the domestic level as well postop soul, they are seeking the just the missing as the future governors of the state of yemen, which is experiencing fragile truce with saudi arabia, following a brutal civil war which brought the

country to the brink of famine and massive humanitarian crisis. the houthis are essentially an armed non—state actor which means that they seek international recognition as a future government and consolidation of power within the yemeni state itself. , so there are various levels of what hoping to achieve and they are using the conflict in gaza at the moment as a springboard for recognition into the international global space which they have effectively done through propaganda and psychological warfare, at the same time in addition to the destruction with international shipping lanes and red sea. 50 international shipping lanes and red sea, �*, ., international shipping lanes and red sea. �*, ., ., ., sea. so there's a lot at play here. what is your— sea. so there's a lot at play here. what is your assessment - sea. so there's a lot at play here. what is your assessment of - sea. so there's a lot at play here. what is your assessment of how l sea. so there's a lot at play here. i what is your assessment of how far iran is involved in all of this? the houthis are _ iran is involved in all of this? tue: houthis are generally iran is involved in all of this? tte: houthis are generally seen as a proxy group of iran, part of their

11:20 pm
said unification with south korea is no longer possible. his comment, echoing his end of year speech, came as state media announced the shutdown of organisations concerned with unification and inter—korean tourism. kim said his country does not want war but warned that it has no intention of avoiding it. he said war would destroy the south and deal an "unimaginable defeat" to the united states. a volcano in iceland has erupted for the second time in a month — spewing lava into a nearby fishing port and setting several homes on fire. most of grindavik�*s 4,000 people had already been evacuated. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle reports. the unstoppable power of a volcano, as houses are lost to the lava. the rapidly built defences couldn't hold back the moving wall of fire. this is a country that's used to living under the threat of eruptions.
11:21 pm
why is iceland so volcanically active? it sits on the mid—atlantic ridge, the boundary between the eurasian and the north american tectonic plate. they're slowly pulling apart from each other, but iceland is also above a geological hotspot deep inside the earth, where plumes of hot material can well upwards. the last eruptions were in the 1200s, lasting for decades, but then nothing for 800 years, until five eruptions that started in march 2021. so, why was there such a big gap? 0ver geological time, the tectonic plates are pulling it apart at about the speed your finger nails grow, so a few centimetres every year. but they don't seem to smoothly pull apart, they go through pulses of higher activity, and this is likely what we're seeing right now. in 2010, in the south of the country, another eruption generated a giant ash cloud.
11:22 pm
it exploded through an ice sheet which pulverised the ash into an even finer material, disrupting air travel across europe. it's unlikely the same thing will happen now. there's no glacier here. instead, the lava is erupting through fissures, cracks in the ground. the 2010 eruption was over in a matter of months, but scientists think this could see lots of smaller eruptions, but over a much longer period. the probability is once it's begun it's going to keep going for some time, and so that isn't great news for the people who are living in the peninsula, where this is occurring, because the most likely scenario is that there will be continued volcanism for the next multiple years. the current activity seems to be slowing, but there's likely to be more to come. iceland's president has said the country is battling tremendous forces of nature. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the former 0ne direction star
