Houthis Shot Down Eighth US Drone MQ-9 Reaper

DOHA, (Sputnik) - Shiite movement Ansar Allah (the Houthis) ruling northern Yemen s shot down US reconnaissance drone MQ-9 Reaper in northwestern Yemen, which was carrying out reconnaissance over Marib province, the eighth since last fall, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria said on Saturday.

"An American MQ-9 drone was shot down while carrying out enemy missions in the skies over Marib province. This drone was the eighth aircraft of this type shot down during the battle and holy jihad in support of Gaza," Saria told Al-Masirah broadcaster.

Earlier, Ansar Allah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi threatened to expand operations against Israel and Western countries supporting it on land. He stressed that "enemies will be caught off guard on land just as they were caught off guard at sea with the help of new technologies that will help to harm them." Al-Houthi also said that the response to the Israeli bombing of the port of Hodeidah in western ...

Listening to BBC Radio4, I find it tragic just how biased the BBC towards the Democratic Party and against Trump.
I think it was Lord Beaverbrook who said it was important to make a distinction between news and comment. Now the BBC is almost entirely comment with a little bit of news thrown in.

I do wonder if after the election, the BBC might be accused of election interference and have their influence curtailed?
Certainly Russia and China as well as many other countries could justify one sided interference.

Even more odd, when I compare RT to the BBC, they are the exact opposite, almost exclusively sticking to the news with little comment which even then is non controversial.

I still feel that Russia if it wanted to put money into influencing should direct it to the growing band of independent journalists and analysts that you find on The Duran and elsewhere. The ...

I've Seen the Future in London and it looks Grim.
Having just returned from a trip to London I've seen things that portend a nasty future on the roads for motorists everywhere else. All over the city the speed limit is now 20 miles per hour. On the few freeways that exist within the city the speed limit is 30 miles per hour. Have you driven at these speeds for prolonged periods of time? It's awful. And if you drive too fast, a litany of speed cameras will quickly send you a ticket. Cab drivers are frustrated and angry. What if there's heavy traffic and you decide to take a shortcut? Ticket. Many roads have essentially been privatized and equipped with cameras to punish those who stray into them. My friend in London has lost his shortcut route to work as a result.
Cabbies can also be ticketed for picking up passengers in an inappropriate location. One complained that it's difficult to find a place to park to go to the washroom. Add to that more bus lanes, cyclists, and scooters and you ...
