Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

The Grayzone The Grayzone 's Max Blumenthal interviews Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of Ansarulah's political bureau and governor of the Yemeni province of Dhamar, about the Yemeni Armed Forces' war with Saudi Arabia and its successful advances across Yemeni territory previously controlled by its Saudi-backed rivals. Speaking on October 20, 2026, Al-Bukhaiti confirmed that the Ansarulah-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces captured Mount Han overlooking the strategically significant city of Taiz.  This marks the latest advance in a military offensive that has seen Ansarulah, known popularly as the Houthis, seize new territory and hammer Saudi Arabia following the collapse of a four  year ceasefire between Sanaa and Riyadh.  Ansarulah's success seems to have the House of Saud on the ropes, with Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman calling on the UK, Egypt, Syria and possibly even Israel for help in beating back the onslaught.

Times Of India Iran-linked hacking group Handala has released footage it claims was recorded inside a high-security Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military facility, alleging that its infiltrators gained access to sensitive areas, including military headquarters and meeting rooms. The videos appear to show armoured vehicles, Israeli soldiers and a barracks containing weapons.  Handala has also mocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what it describes as security failures and threatened to release more footage and files. The latest claims follow the group’s October 18 announcement of a cyber operation targeting an Israeli military unit responsible for media intelligence monitoring and analysis. Handala claims to have published more than 500 classified documents and tens of thousands of internal messages. The group has also previously released images it said belonged to Israeli security personnel.

The Jimmy Dore Show Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Jimmy Dore to warn that Europe faces a severe energy and industrial crisis, arguing that Germany’s nuclear shutdowns and disruptions to fuel and sulfur supplies from the Persian Gulf threaten automotive manufacturing, chemical production, and the refining of metals such as copper and gold. He says the war with Iran involving Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu is worsening global energy pressures, with European diesel shortages particularly concerning because trucking underpins the movement of goods across the continent.  Macgregor also highlights mounting pressure on American agriculture, claiming that tens of thousands of farms have gone bankrupt amid fertilizer shortages and criticizing the Trump administration for neglecting farmers while relying on imports such as Argentine beef. He warns that fertilizer disruptions could contribute to famine in countries including India and across Africa, and blames a political syste...
