> The UK has agreed to support Saudi Arabia’s military against the Houthis, who have been frequently attacking the kingdom. British refueling for Saudi jets on missions deemed defensive will start in the coming days and is expected to continue for weeks. The decision is among Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s first major military decisions since taking office in July.
