'Essential to hit back at the Houthis' - says former NATO ambassador

It was "essential" the US and UK hit back at the Houthis, the former US ambassador to NATO has told Sky's Sophy Ridge. Kurt Volker said the reason why the attacks by the Houthis on international shipping took place was because "they believed there would be no response". He went on to say, "we have to re-establish a sense of deterrence against this kind of behaviour". #politicshub #yemen #houthis Latest updates: https://news.sky.com/story/middle-east-crisis-latest-footage-shows-moment-raf-jet-strikes-targets-in-yemen-as-houthis-vow-to-retaliate-12978800 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
