Deadly stampede in Yemen capital kills dozens

A government official says it is “a tragic and painful accident”

More than 80 people have been killed and hundreds injured in one of the deadliest stampedes in a decade.

In Yemen’s capital of Sana’a, hundreds of people have been injured, including women and children, during an event where financial aid was being distributed inside a school.

A government official says it is “a tragic and painful accident”.

Armed houthis had fired gunshots into the air in an attempt at crowd control, striking an electrical wire and causing it to explode.

That sparked a panic, and people began stampeding.

Hundreds of poor people gathered for the event organised by merchants, without coordination with the Ministry of Interior.

The dead and injured people were transferred to hospitals, and two merchants in charge were arrested.

It comes just days ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

EU fines Elon Musk’s platform X €120 million for DSA violations, highlighting tech scrutiny and potential regulatory clashes.


In a landmark ruling, the European Union has imposed a €120 million fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, citing violations of new digital regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This fine underscores the EU’s increasing scrutiny of tech giants and sets the stage for a potential clash between Elon Musk, the European Commission, and even political figures like former President Trump.

Chris Berg from RMIT University joins us to break down the reasons behind the fine, including X’s controversial handling of the blue tick verification system, and what this means for transparency and user rights on digital platforms.

We also explore the broader implications of this ruling for other tech platforms like TikTok and how the EU is asserting its regulatory authority on an international stage.
