i was talking to frank gardner earlier about whether it was really just a sort of show of strength rathern actually these targets that we were just talking through, all the targets that have been hit there, whether it was actually enough to make a substantial difference to the houthis capabilities or not. well, it will make a difference. i mean, they have hit 60 targets, 16 locations. they've focused on something specific that's linked to what's been going on in the red sea, production of drones, launch sites, missile sites. so, you know, they have focused on military capabilities. they won't have destroyed all the houthis�* military capability. remember, the saudis have been bombing the houthis for years and they were still defiant and they still had military capability. once the west had said stop this or else, they had to do the or else, and this is the or else. but to be honest, there aren't many other options other than this. there's no suggestion in an election year they're going to put boots on the ground, the west. they have bitter experience of both iraq and afghanistan, so this

live now to our security correspondent, frank gardner. what is britain suggesting?sk of direct action if the houthis do not stop their attacks. i think there are a number of options. at the minimum it means continuing to shoot down the drones that the houthis are firing, but this is not a very cost—effective exercise for the west. so you have us, britain, france and other nations all who have navies in that region as part of a coalition of us led coalition called operation prosperity guardian, but it costs roughly 100 times more to fire off a sea viper missile from a distro to shoot on a drum than it the houthis to launch a $20,000 drone. so that isn't what you work in the long run. they're hoping to dissuade houthis from doing more of these and with that the more implicit threat that if they carry—on, there is the risk that the us and britain and others will actually use air strikes and tomahawk missile strikes to take out the houthi launch site. they do not want to do that because it is quite risky. you risk metastasizing the hamas is war into something much bigge
