4 days agoEPAThe Houthis captured key coastal areas in their recent rapid advanceYemen's devastating civil war has flared up in recent months, with fierce fighting between the Iran-backed Houthi movement, which controls much of the country's north-west, and Saudi-backed pro-government forces. In September, the Houthis seized part of Yemen's Red Sea coast near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a chokepoint for global shipping at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. Their advance contributed to a further rise in oil prices following six months of war between the US, Israel and Iran. At the start of October, pro-government forces said they had managed to regain control of territory overlooking Bab al-Mandab after launching a major counter-offensive with the support of intense Saudi air strikes. The Houthis responded to the strikes by launching missiles and drones at military bases, energy facilities and airports in neighbouring Saudi Arabia. At least 13 people were killed when a missile hit Riyadh's international airport on 10 October - the deadliest attack in the kingdom in more than a decade. Who are the Houthis?

Philipp Horn fulfilled two dreams last season: a podium finish in the World Cup and competing at the Winter Olympics. In an interview with Biathlonworld, he explains why he has mixed feelings about the Olympic mass start race and how he is already planning for life after his career. Biathlonworld: Philipp, you’ve just had the most successful season of your biathlon career. Your third place in the sprint at Hochfilzen was your first World Cup podium finish. On top of that, you competed at the Winter Olympics. What have you learnt this season? Philipp Horn: I’ve learnt that things never go perfectly in biathlon. The Olympics and a podium finish in the World Cup were major goals that I managed to achieve. I’d been working towards them for a long time, and I’m all the happier that it’s worked out now. But not everything went to plan. That’s just part of the game. BW: What was your experience of the Winter Olympics in Antholz? PH: I was thrilled right from the start. When I walked into the stadium on the first day and saw the Olympic rings, that was my very own magical moment. I looked forward to the races every single day.

This week's Entries of the Week brings together ten photographs that show just how different those stories can be. Off the coast of Mauritius, a sperm whale passes beneath a small boat, revealing the extraordinary marine life that exists just below the surface. In Kerala, India, a photographer waiting for the perfect sunrise photograph of a buffalo gets an unexpected visitor when a cattle egret lands on its back. Elsewhere, a carefully planned crescent moon creates the illusion of horns behind a silhouetted figure, while a handmade ambrotype featuring two mermaids draws attention to the declining health of our oceans. On the other side of the world, a photographer in Japan finds inspiration in traditional art, capturing a cat's remarkably human expression. From spontaneous encounters to carefully constructed images, this week's selection celebrates the imagination, patience and curiosity behind photography. Each picture offers something beyond what we first see, inviting us to discover the story that inspired it. Have a photograph worth sharing?

I had to read Alan Moore’s The Great When twice to fully appreciate it. At the time I wasn’t at all familiar with Moore’s body of work, but that book made me an admirer and when the second installment of his Long London series came out I was keen to read it. Moore builds on the fantastical world he introduced in The Great When. The same cast of extraordinary characters return a decade or so later to a London that’s in much better condition than it was immediately after World War II, when swaths of the city were bombed-out and the economy was in shambles. But while Britain has mostly recovered, its far-flung colonial empire is coming apart at the seams; the Brits got themselves in a terrible mess over the Suez Canal from which they won’t recover. Dennis Knuckleyard’s circumstances are somewhat improved in that he’s no longer under the thumb of his former employer and landlady, Coffin Ada Benson, a chain-smoking source of non-stop vitriol. Dennis now makes his living as a freelance writer, primarily of fictional pornographic letters for a men’s magazine.

The Vegas Golden Knights might be the most resilient team in hockey. Their style of play stays consistent despite no matter the circumstances— it doesn’t matter if they’re up by two or down by three. And when they are down by three, they put their heads down and chip away at their opponent’s lead. That’s exactly what they did on Monday. After the Minnesota Wild took advantage of a stretch of bad play in the first period, the Golden Knights found themselves in a 3-0 hole for the second time in their last three games. On Thursday, the Golden Knights snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. But tonight, they didn’t have another multi-goal comeback in them. This team never throws in the towel, so they clawed their way back and made things interesting. The Golden Knights outshot the Wild 12-6 in the third period, but failed to find the equalizer and ultimately fell 4-2 after the Wild hit the empty net. “They can be [a frustrating team to play against],” said defenseman Brayden McNabb following the loss. “They’re well structured. If we’re on our game, we can break them down. We saw that through stretches in this game.

Max Verstappen will get back behind the wheel of the Mercedes GT3 this coming weekend for the first time since the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring. This time, the Dutch driver will team up with Ben Berticoat and Chris Lulham for the season-ending round of the GT World Challenge at Portimao. Regular drivers Jules Gounon and Dani Juncadella are unavailable due to WEC commitments.

‘It’s a big moment,” says Karl Bushby, who has had plenty of big moments in his life. He is recording himself on his phone for social media. “We’re in Dover, and I’m about to have my first fish and chips and mushy peas in 28 years. Mushy peas, my God, I forgot they even existed!” He points his phone at the plate in front of him. “It better be good.” And he tucks in. “Mmmm. See, this is a big chunk of fish and a decent bit of batter, and that’s something you don’t see in other parts of the world. I mean, come on! That. Is. Fish. And. Chips! You see, Britain is special.”It has been two days since Bushby swam the Channel to return to England. Tomorrow, he’ll start the walk home to Hull for the first time since he left in 1998. He hopes to get back on 1 November, the same date he set off all those years ago. Although Bushby is a man of military precision, timing is not one of his greatest traits. When the former paratrooper left the army, aged 29, to walk the world, he planned to be home 12 years later. What accounted for the extra years? “The real world. You can’t account for financial crises, pandemics, visa bans, wars and the bureaucracy you have to deal with.

William Contreras hit a tying homer in the fifth and singled home the go-ahead run an inning later as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 on Monday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Four relievers combined to retire the last 15 Dodgers batters in order as the Brewers took a 2-0 lead over the two-time defending World Series champions in this best-of-seven series, which heads to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Wednesday. The Brewers are chasing their second pennant and first in the NL. They made their lone World Series appearance in 1982, when they were in the American League. Los Angeles are trying to become the first NL team to win three straight World Series. The Dodgers last rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win a series in 2020, when they beat the Atlanta Braves in a seven-game NLCS before going on to win the World Series. The Dodgers will need more punch from their lineup to have a chance at getting back to the Fall Classic. They mustered just three hits on Monday and went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position to drop to 2 for 26 in those situations this postseason.
