Saudi Arabia says it intercepted some of them."},{"host":"Brian","text":"The Houthis say six attacks in total. The Saudis aren't confirming the damage."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Right. The claim is real, the full picture isn't. This is the Iran-backed group testing how far they can push."},{"host":"Brian","text":"And it's not random. Every time the Houthis hit Saudi infrastructure, oil markets twitch."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Which is exactly the point. They want the world to feel it."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Meanwhile, a separate post is flying around claiming Iran is in advanced stages of planning attacks on Americans."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That one's attributed to Fox News, but I can't find independent confirmation. Treat it as a claim, not a fact."},{"host":"Brian","text":"And it's being pushed by a crypto account. That should tell you something about the sourcing."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Nothing says breaking national security news like a hashtag for Solana."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Fair. But the Houthi story is the one to watch."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Different world entirely: Colombia's president is planning to slash spending on a transitional justice court."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Al Jazeera reports war crimes victims are worried the cuts will gut the court's work."},{"host":"Bella","text":"This is the court that's supposed to hold people accountable for decades of conflict. Starving it sends a message."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Or the president's looking at a budget and deciding where the money goes. Governments do that."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Sure, but when you cut the court that handles war crimes, victims hear 'your justice doesn't matter.'"},{"host":"Brian","text":"And when you fund everything, nothing gets funded properly. There's a real trade-off here."},{"host":"Bella","text":"I'm not saying fund everything. I'm saying this specific court has a specific job, and cutting it has specific consequences."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Okay, but— no, come on. You're acting like the court is the only way victims get justice."},{"host":"Bella","text":"It's the main way! That's why it exists!"},{"host":"Brian","text":"And if it's slow, expensive, and politicized? Then maybe cutting it is the honest call."},{"host":"Bella","text":"I think the honest call is to fix it, not starve it. But we clearly disagree."},{"host":"Brian","text":"We do. And that's fine. The report's worth reading either way."},{"host":"Bella","text":"One more from the region: Al Jazeera has an investigation claiming a years-long campaign pushed racist, anti-Qatar views."},{"host":"Brian","text":"The claim is that it portrayed Qatar as the driving force behind mass migration to Europe."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That's a serious allegation. Al Jazeera is reporting it, but I haven't seen independent corroboration yet."},{"host":"Brian","text":"If true, it's a coordinated influence operation. If not, it's a very loud accusation."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Either way, it's worth keeping an eye on. These campaigns don't stay in one country."},{"host":"Brian","text":"And on a lighter note, Barcelona's manager is praising Lamine Yamal's reaction to missing out on the Ballon d'Or."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Harry Kane won it, and Yamal's boss says he's proud of the teenager's mentality."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's the kind of reaction you want from a young star. No tantrum, just focus."},{"host":"Bella","text":"He's what, eighteen? Nineteen? And he's already handling disappointment like a veteran."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's why Barcelona's betting on him. Talent gets you there, mentality keeps you there."},{"host":"Bella","text":"And in the Premier League, Manchester United may be about to sack Michael Carrick."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Al Jazeera says he might have one chance to save his job at Chelsea this weekend."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That's a brutal spot. One match to save your job, against Chelsea away."},{"host":"Brian","text":"No pressure, Michael. Just your entire career on the line."},{"host":"Bella","text":"We'll see if he gets the result. That's the show for now."}]}
