What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA date now for the Fort Hood case. AP News reports the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan is scheduled for December.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd Al Jazeera says the Pentagon has confirmed it will be public and livestreamed. That part is still the headline.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYes. Official statements are thin on how a livestream would work. The details are unclear, and the Pentagon has not explained them.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the date is known. The rules for watching it are not.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDifferent story. Al Jazeera reports Yemen's city of Taiz is under siege again, with food and fuel prices rising.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWhat's causing it?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHouthi advances and the closure of vital roads into the city have caused shortages. It revives memories of the earlier siege.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo people there are paying more for basics like bread and fuel, with fewer ways to get them in.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCorrect. The humanitarian picture is worsening as the conflict goes on. The powers fighting over those roads are not the ones queuing for fuel.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's the part that sticks. The people with the least say get the longest lines.
