Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the war in Yemen. Sami Ramadani, senior lecturer at London Metropolitan, believes ‘the Saudi objective is to dominate Yemeni politics’ and Western support comes because ‘places the US is not able to fully control they don’t mind seeing destroyed.’ Peter Rees, former City of London planning chief, looks at the planning successes and failures of ‘the best party city on the planet’ and warns that ‘politics have become corrupted’ rather than it being planning problems, which could lead to problems in the future. David Bartlett, news editor for the Liverpool Echo, takes a look at the ‘Love Activists’ occupying the former Bank of England building in a protest against homelessness, and the effects of austerity pushing families further into poverty. And with renewed tensions over the fate of the Falklands, how will the West view a new agreement building closer ties between Argentina and Russia?
