S8 Ep24: Espresso Martini: Strikes against the Houthi’s, Chinese spies and the hunt for Hamas’s spokesman Abu Obaida.

On today's show, we will be looking at the strikes against Houthi
Rebels who have been attacking ships in the Red Sea; we will also
look at the hunt for Hamas’s spoke person, Chinese spies
recruiting Western politicians, more information on the Chinese
spy balloon from last year and we will round off with a worrying
story of an Iranian operative who was arrested in connection with
a plot to kill Iranian journalists based in London.

Then we will move to our Patreon-only show, “Extra Shot”. On
that, we will look at reports of China rebuilding its nuclear
weapons testing facilities, the retirement of MI5’s
longest-serving member; celebrities tricked into making
propaganda videos, concerns of a former CIA officer about Trump
returning to the White House and we will wrap up on the death of
Gaston Glock, who created the legendary Glock pistol favoured by
people on both sides of the law.
