people who work on the ice or not because the the, it was a rebels today, problem is retaliation against the united states and britain after they hit targets and who if he controlled areas of yemen. the strikes were delivered as part of the us led coalition, assembled to protect international shipping from increasing who is the attacks in the red sea, who sees originally said they were targeting ships with links to israel because of his war against time us now they've added british and american concerns to that list, so doesn't matter. can have the stomach for potentially another war, thousands of miles from hope. i'm feel go invalid and this is the day the

over the last month we've seen a significant increase in the number of here's the tax on commercial shipping. in the red sea, the who is the spare responsibility for their actions. it's incumbent on the duties to stop carrying out these attacks put in people's lives at risk and disrupt the global economy. the american and british enemies passed full responsibility for their criminal aggression pick gates. so you have any people will not go unpunished on onset. also coming up, voters in taiwan, choose a new president in a race that's too close to coal that's being seen as one of the as most crucial elections for global politics. the 1st big what of 2024 is about to play out right here in taiwan. tai one's choice, we'll have huge implications. welcome to the day they the world, just get

a little bit more dangerous goose. who is the rebels in yemen and 5 revenge after british and american ass strikes on who he talk. it's in the i'm and the wife. how says the us isn't interested in a white a wall with yeah, that's understandable, given that this is an election year operation, prosperity guardian is a us led multinational milledgeville operation, assembled to respond to who fee attacks in the red sea. the strikes were set to be acts of self defense to protect shipping of the red sea after dozens of vessels photography by the booth is of a recent month. who has previously said they were talking strips linked to israel. the strikes me and they've added particularly american targets to that list. so naz street packed with protest since they're in sensed by a way of us and british strikes on thousands of here's the targets in german

launched in retaliation for a tax on shipping in the red sea island. this is a message to britain and especially the united states of america, that they will pay. i have a price for this, a garage, and those crowds today authorized the leader of the revolution and authorized the military leadership to respond to this aggression at high levels, etc. and on land, but the us and u. k. say the strikes which hit military targets. what acts of self defense? who's the rebels to a batch by iran have been targeting ships in the red sea for weeks with the group releasing this voltage in november of its flashes, appearing to seize a vessel. it claims the attacks are in response to israel's war and gaza against him. us in the u. s. a. u and other countries have labeled a terrorist organization. the you k prime minister richie soon act who is currently

visiting ukraine, said the strikes when necessary, proportionate and targeted. but over the last month, we seen a significant increase in the number of here's the, a tax on commercial shipping. in the red sea, that's putting innocent lives at risk. it's disrupting the global economy. and it's also the de stabilizing the region. and in that time, we've also seen the single biggest attack on the navy bullshit, the british navy for ship that we've seen in decades. now, it's clear that that type of behavior con, carry on. the big question now is what this could mean for the war in gaza and the wider region with the world bracing for a response from the who's these and those who support them. we'll come to that question in a minute and we'll start with the basics. first i will introduce i guess definitively . com who is a young man on the list and joins us from new york a welcome tina up the basis. i want to start with 1st of all,

or who are these guys that who is, who ave, i'm, what are they fighting again, still full. of course, the conformation to population of young men, including the cops as an on some of the west and the northern areas close to saudi arabia and beams. not recognized. government controls the rest of the country. the gcs, initially launched and search and see in the northern country 2004, and came into so not in 2014 extensively that they are as a b shockley. i'm this is very different from the shy as i'm you find in at all. although we had lots of out around the relationship with the fees degree for me. yeah. many and the reasons that turned them into an honest group of very little cool. for the past 6 years, they've been fighting against the and stuff you recognize government us by saudi arabia and united arab emirates, and recently, and responds to events in gospel that they've kind of shifted the needle to lucas

that attacks from the why the, what they see as the us the question. okay, thank you for that. and that's look at the targets of base pressures and american missile strikes. what did they have and, and they'll probably be killed. 5 people yeah. so the actual missile attacks focused on today in the areas of today's office are in sanaa. and this was the last of you came to us before with naples appointments back in january into the red sea. so, you know, i think this really to be these strikes with the full use of the tax and the red. see what the incident allowance to keep these to frame themselves as approved. kind of starting midland, i think we do some so say that the strikes will achieve any results. they have

failed to respond. this could take the shape of increasing attacks from the you've got some bridges specials in the red sea, or even attacking us assets and the goal. so this could take the shape of a ministry bases. i want to key these strengths, in my opinion, not to benefit the fees in the notes i'm in helps to prove the narrative. the real going to meet is to us. the fees have loan built in to just miss the orange listed as he was the us and israel, the if anything dislikes, increase of the popularity and gives the we've more leverage. we'll say that people have lucky preparing for the attack themselves. but you can us up and release the warnings to the customer, and it's not as if the we've because the normal infrastructure, they very much rely on miss so much space is not all transport. so the actual damage caused by the strikes is minimal to a sofa. so predictable um the, the us and britain uh fire rockets hit people, kill people. uh the,

the who these files revenge. this is what we would expect. what you've been saying . that is us, we believe that they will follow through on this. and this is what i've been hearing pretty much all day that they don't as an enemy. because these do not act in what you might call a rational. why? because so much of what is done to them, as you say, plays into that plays into that and hours. and also, if they've been doing this for the best part of 20 years, i mean, you know, in the past and this is ro logs as well on the, ever since the goal is, depends kind of escalate to defeat. these have successfully linked the rest of the crisis to gaza. you know, they all determined vessels on the way to isabel demanding that as well as a silicon goes over to unlike me, the low income, the tub is where these things tilting the attack. so with these attacks

from the us and u. k, and the minimal damage is cause it's a win win situation. so they get these right. the best way to get these from escalating of is you mean the tax and the red sea. and at the same time defeat, these come game methods on that for the machine. so either way, the situation is a little so right? and i wonder if pos of that the who is the calculus is the us is likely to have little stomach for a foreign adventure in an election year. i mean, i think ever since the reps, the escalation starts and the fees are calculated, but the us does not want the will right. does no one's original escalations, not just because of the human selections will say, because you know, even in 2015 when societies. and so if you haven't visited, no need to the reputation of the case these i actually quite opposite the he is a come boss from will say we are,

this will escalation is happening at the same time where the fees were meant to be wishing a peace agreement with the south east, west by they would actually have gotten and also set them on the field. so either way, either way they can do something very close to the name and to raise the stakes of the us. on the other hand, what as a strategy it carries out the name is. it's an easy situation, right? even, even if they do anything to decide if these, if it isn't carry on at the same time, if they escalate attacks and yemen, they risk this situation. um, you know, running into regional, click migration, and so a brief word then about the nature of that, that escalation, what do you think would bring the who sees made back to iran directly into this conflict? i mean, i think united without a dog throughout the year is around relationship with

a few these have become sprung up, you know, around have health with weapons technology you for on to time. going to miss austin intelligence, i think with the recent the task. well they would say it wrong. does play a role. it's difficult to discern exactly what that little is, right? because a few these have, it's so increased the paper that sees independently or wrong round easy as, as well. and this will face pop over the range instruct fee or kind of close to the noise benefee website. they can use the fees to escalate, maintaining the public stones, but they have nothing to do with the tax. so you know, you can say right now the wrong is in full well at the same time denying it. got you. thank you so much fits. i hear so basically they, i am an analyst at vienna ali thank you for having me. do taiwan moses very well had some polls on saturday in

a tight race dominated by relations with china. the governing policy is sticking to a tough line on beijing, but it's facing an opposition that wants to strengthen ties. china claims taiwan has its own on his will and that the election is a choice between well and the piece. this year we'll see many crucial elections around the world and voters in taiwan who will be among the 1st to make a difficult decision about the future. the ws chief international edison richard walker reports from ty of 2024 is a year of watches for democracies around the world. what if donald trump weight is the white house again? which is the european parliament gets overrun by the far right? but the 1st big what 2 of 2024 is about to play out right here in taiwan. off the use of antagonistic relations with china. focus here might be about to choose something very different. a friendly approach to badging. we spoke

with a man who embodies and that's how i did mine. joe was the last president of taiwan . subbing from 2008 to 2016. now he hopes he's k m t party will win the presidency again. with him is one of its top power brokers. he says the current government's whole approach to china. boosting the military to determine attack is flat out wrong. oh no matter how much you would defend himself. you can never fight a war with a maintenance and the neighbor we of the too large, too much stronger than us. so we use a noun used praise, word means to reduce the attention. instead my calls for dialogue with china picking up where he left off. when he met she, jim pink in 2015. i mean, thing like that between see jim paying on the car and tie one he's president is old, most on thinkable. but mine, joe says that under a different president,

taiwan could work with she and even trust him. so you're saying you can trust what as far as customer relations you have to. well, this actually goes further than mazda and our team. it's candidate for president who your, he says he is committed to taiwan. it's defense and has no illusions about the chinese leadership taking the bottle that i've never had any unrealistic ideas about the maintenance intentions that i'm very pragmatic and steady in my approach to the main to bottle. you know, the governing parties kind of did william lie also gave us his response. thanks. yes. so he said he's also prepared to talk to china in quite he won't make concessions to make that happen. it's planned that for him. the territories comes in the clear 1st. this week we spoke woman, sweet, your cookie, we see peace through strength, not by the goodwill of the aggression because it's

a good will of the aggressive cannot be relied upon to cope with sooner. so what is the right balance between the tyrants and dialogue when facing such a massive and threatening neighbor as china? now it's up to the time when these people to decide that just $19000000.00 out of the billions of votes is around the world who will cost that balance this year. but tie one's choice will have huge implications. in this 1st one case of 2024, this is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in all nations. history. people told us that communities have the noise and their reputations destroyed throughout the really no fault of their own. the victims must get justice and compensation. well, despite the british, prime minister has worn woods that for years to apply to the victims of this

scandal went largely ignored. hundreds of innocent people looking to victory, the fast frozen falls accounting. even though faulty computer software was to blame of the sense of this is britain's post office on our tv drama us, but the british government into unprecedented action. you are responsible for the law. i haven't got that money. i don't know where he's gone. the post office is a british institution with cousins, a branches across the country, but between 19992015 over 900 postal workers were wrongly convicted of financial crimes. a fault with computer software use by the post office may just look like branches were losing money, but senior management disregard a complaints. the fujitsu software was falsely reporting cash shortfalls. instead funding prosecutions against employees. although i knew i hadn't done that, it was just the stigma i touched that you have to explain if anybody asked

the task when what didn't happen. and i just couldn't explain that something that happened which was totally out of my control. and i have to justify it or defended . several victims committed suicide in numerous lives were ruined by the false accusations. my wife had seizures from anxiety which led to epilepsy and my children were bullied. um, my daughter had been spots shots within views, there was 3 for me being allegedly that the face against the end of a ok after years of delays and caring their names and due to be serious based on the scandal has captured the public's attention. prompted politicians to promise with action. prime minister wishes to knock says he will introduce legislation to

overturn the convictions and compensate the victims of parliament also plans to examine the roll post office and 2 chips. 2 executives plays in the scandal every 2 in the hall 1000 victim. that's capable of this incredible story from a correspondent in london. shelmet chosen to welcome charlotte. and so the british government has promised to make this right. tell us more about what they've said. they will do or well this week, prime minister rashid soon not because announced that new legislation will be introduced within weeks, which will essentially exonerate the vixen and also then compensation a that's something that's going to be happening in wales. scotland is also mailing something similar. now this hasn't been roundly welcome. there are some concerns from people within the legal profession. fast will questions over whether people who might have been genuinely guilty will be cuz on the race is none the less. but beyond that, there are also questions over the fact that this essentially override the judicial

process. you have of politicians, lawmakers making decisions that override the quotes. they're all concerns. so that could set the precedent concerns or the how that could then be used in the future. but the government is saying that this really is an exceptional case, and so exceptional action has to be taken. so people will ask why it took a t v dramas to get the government to take this quick action. now when this is actually being rumbling on for years or indeed, and if you just hear from some of the victims that has been impacted by this, it is truly shocking. they have been way, but the waves here in the u. k. in recent days with her run the stories telling of how this has impacted the lives. and we're not just talking about the legal invitation, some people facing jail. you're also looking at the financial implications. many

were fools to we pay off sums of money that they were accused of taking that rule. so nickel costs and then the implications on, on families, on marriages on the children and those impacts that they've been suicide linked to this. and then of course, all those people who are very solemn, you've died and will never live to see the names clear. so there's been numerous amounts of public and good in response to hear me these cases. and indeed, as you say, in response to this, a t v drama, which as over the new year, why is it taking not drama so this now to be blows into the public consciousness for this, for the government now acts and it really is down to the public and then that's what's changed that supports allows things that was possible previously seems to be possible. now these exonerations and this, this foss tracks tab a space, a compensation scheme should've been hate and drama for these rooms to have been

righted. i think most people probably will say no. does anyone likely to be held accountable for what happened? a little one has been held accountable so far beyond a news this week that a firm, a cheap uh priced office chief executive, his hand about an owner retired. so, well that will not, that will change while there are a couple of things on going at the moment. there is a public inquiry that's been running a since 2021. it is crucially looking to establish who you want and when, how is it possible these prosecutions continued for so long? how is it possible that the victims were in some cases, told that they were all installation cases when in fact they was that's what the public inquiry is looking to find out. there is also a criminal inquiry that is ongoing. a lot of police inquiry looking to establish

whether there was any criminal wrong doing in this, but the concern, i think so big sentence will be, uh, what happens when this fools low down the news agenda when the public and good dissipates little bit. as time goes on, will that precious to be on the accounts ability to be found? so just a quick word about the finally, we now know that it was faulty software have provided by fidgets, so that was to blame. and so the light for us and it seems like, well, if the software is wrong or should be able to say in court, they have this office software, it was just a big rubbish. why would they unable to prove that a gold indeed, it has. uh since been proven that the default is false to uh, was to blame. that is something that says evictions, and many of them uh was saying long. so indeed, that is the question that is because now why, how was it possible, given that these prosecutions went ahead anyway, that is something that's going to be looked at in the public inquiry. a lot of

people pointing the finger at the fact that these uh were private prosecutions both by the post office not as something that was uh, is stand out feature of this case. uh, but that certainly has to be established. okay, thank you for that. charlotte, charlotte chelsea and fill in london monitor denmark which has got that big weekend coming up. people are getting ready for a major transition the capital. copenhagen is preparing for a queen, aggressive abdication on sunday, ending for 52 year. right. and the 1st time in 900 years of the danish monica's relinquish the throne. eldest son, prince frederick, proclaimed the new king. reason $7500.00 to around 70 percent of the danes support the countries. monica, here's what some royal watches have been saying about the change. most people are
