speaking to laura kuenssberg, he said military action was intended to send a clear and unambiguous messages that it does degrade some of the houthi capacity to launch these missiles and drones, and we'll obviously look at the assessment of that in the coming hours and days, but it also sends this very clear message that america and others, an alliance of countries backing this action, an alliance of countries, including britain, taking part in this action, but also including countries like the netherlands and canada and australia, are prepared to take action backing their words, and i think that's very important. 0ur middle east correspondent hugo bachega has more on the situtaion in the red sea. the americans are saying, according to a report by the new york times, that the first wave of strikes that hit 60 locations, or 60 targets and nearly 30 locations in yemen, have only managed to damage or destroy a third of the capabilities of the houthis to carry out those attacks. in other words, the houthis says that these attacks have not damaged or affected their ability to carry out those att

prime minister rishi sunak also told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg that his government has successfullyes with a majority of nhs workers. although he admitted that that junior doctors have yet to settle their dispute. the government has now reached resolution with every other part of the nhs. nurses, midwives, paramedics, consultant doctors, speciality doctors most recently, so every other part of the nhs workforce, and i'm grateful to them for everything they're doing, has reached a resolution with the government on a reasonable, fair pay settlement. the only people that haven't are the junior doctors. the numbers that you gave... let me just finish answering. the numbers that you gave demonstrate that actually the pay offer that the junior doctors already have is more generous than any other part of the nhs. so those are the facts. right? and so given that we have managed to find resolution everywhere else and that the junior doctors have now the most generous pay offer out of anybody in the nhs, i would strongly urge them to come back, talk to the government so that we can resolve th

in a wide ranging interview with laura kuenssberg, the pm also commented on other issues — such as immigration correspondent georgia roberts now reports. one of these men is going to take or regain the keys to number ten by the end of this year, with a general election fast approaching. but first, confirmation from rishi sunak that the government will review the post office's role in sub—postmasters' appeals to overturn their convictions based on the now discredited it horizon system. it is an appalling miscarriage ofjustice. obviously it's something that happened a very long time ago, in the 90s, but seeing and hearing about it again just shows what an appalling miscarriage ofjustice it is for everyone affected, and it is important those people get the justice they deserve it. should they all be exonerated? that is what the compensation schemes are about. hundreds were jailed or left bankrupt and only a small number of convictions have so far been overturned. a former postmistress wants justice. what are you going to do to ensurej we get fair and final compensation, not in dribs and drabs? no

the prime minister told laura kuenssberg that his job as chancellor was to "ask probing questions of every proposal" that crossed his desk. he made the comments in a wideranging interview in which he also talked about the government looking at legal options in the case of the post office horizon it scandal and tackling illegal migration. let's talk about immigration. it's one of your top priorities. we also know from documents the bbc saw this week that when you were chancellor you expressed doubts about number 10's desire to send migrants to rwanda. do you admit you had reservations? no, and i haven't seen the documents so i can't comment on them specifically. but i discussed it with the prime minister and ultimately funded the plans and the scheme and myjob now as prime minister is to get it up and running. i believe it's really important because it is about deterrence. the national crime agency has said you need a deterrent to solve the problem and i believe that. that's why i got a new deal with albania shortly after becoming pm, meaning we can return to thousands of people to al

speaking to the bbc�*s sunday with laura kuenssberg he said military action was intended to send a clearere are two things it does. the first as it does degrade some of the houthis capacity to launch these missiles and drones. we will look at the assessment of that in the coming hours and days. but it also sends a very clear message that america and others, an alliance of countries backing this action, an alliance of countries including britain taking part in this action, but also including countries like the netherlands and canada and australia, are prepared to take action backing their words and i think that's very important. the foreian think that's very important. the foreign secretary, lord cameron. for more analysis on this story i wasjoined by middle east correspondent hugo bachega, who's in lebanon. it's 100 days it's100 days since the beginning of this conflict. there have been fears that what is happening in gaza could escalate into a wider regional conflict and here in lebanon the concern has been over the actions by hezbollah, this powerful militia, political movement here in

help. 0k, right, let's think back to sunday when lord cameron, the foreign secretary, was on laura kuenssberg's had this big warning about what might happen this year. it's hard to remember a more unstable and dangerous and uncertain world. you know, very much the lights from where i sit in the foreign office, the red lights on the global dashboard are very much flashing. i wonder what each of you make of that — that idea that lord cameron was suggesting there of this being a particular moment in terms of, as he put it, the red lights flashing, when we look at the international arena. as a war correspondent, it feels like that. i mean, i've been doing thisjob for more than 35 years. i started in the late '805. and when i started out, the berlin wall was just coming down, lots of dictatorships in latin america had just ended. lots of countries in eastern europe becoming independent. everything seemed to be going in the right direction. the peace dividend, end of history, all of that. i honestly don't remember a year like the last year. i mean, it was bad enough, you know, it's only two and a hal
