UK & US strike Houthi positions in Red Sea barrage and Ecuador in state of emergency after drug boss’s prison break

In this episode of Battle Lines, Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan
and Telegraph writer Tom Sharpe bring the latest news and
analysis from the Red Sea, as Britain and America strike Houthi
positions after months of attacks on civilian and military
vessels. 


Then Middle East Correspondent Nataliya Vasilyeva updates us from
Israel as the IDF continues to battle Hamas across Gaza, and
Senior Foreign Correspondent Sophia Yan describes how the Chinese
state forced ethnic Kazakhs to round up Muslim families in
Xinjiang who were then never seen again.


Finally, journalist and academic Mathew Charles speaks about the
internal conflict in Ecuador, where government forces battle drug
gangs for control of the country.
