Houthis claim major advance in Yemen

At least 46,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since fighting escalated last week.

Reports from Yemen say Iranian-backed Houthis have taken control of an island at the mouth of a key shipping lane - raising further fears about the stability of global oil supplies. We hear from displace people and our regional experts.

The United States is marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Firefighters in the Philippines have found the charred remains of 30 people on a ferry that caught fire on Wednesday, taking the number confirmed dead to 35.

And we speak to Canadians about the impact of the trade war with the US on their lives.
