What did UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggest regarding Prince Andrew in November 2025?
He should give evidence to the US congressional committee investigating EpsteinIn November 2025, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, while attending the G20 summit in Johannesburg, stated as a general principle that individuals with relevant information about criminal investigations should testify. Though he avoided directly naming Prince Andrew, his comments were widely interpreted as urging the former royal to cooperate with the US House Oversight Committee probing his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew, stripped of royal titles the previous month, had ignored requests for a transcribed interview. Starmer’s remarks aligned with US lawmakers’ demands for accountability regardless of status. The pressure reflects ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s network and high-profile associates.

How many people were sentenced to death by a Houthi-controlled court in Yemen in November 2025 for alleged spying?
17In November 2025, a Houthi-controlled Specialised Criminal Court in Sanaa, Yemen, sentenced 17 individuals to death by firing squad for allegedly spying for the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. The court claimed the defendants passed intelligence that led to airstrikes on military and civilian sites. This verdict is part of a broader crackdown by the Iranian-backed rebels on foreign-linked personnel, including UN staff and aid workers. The Houthis have detained thousands since the civil war began in 2014, often accusing them of espionage without verifiable evidence. The death sentences can be appealed, though judicial processes in Houthi-held areas are widely criticized as lacking due process.
