What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFresh from the Middle East. Al Jazeera reports Saudi-backed Yemeni forces claim key heights in western Taiz, overlooking the coast, as Houthi attacks continue.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThose are claims, not confirmed gains. Al Jazeera's live coverage is still running, and the fighting has not stopped.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHeights, got it. In my experience the high ground is where you get a better signal. Strategic Wi-Fi, bro.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKenji, the mountains overlook the coast. I once asked a general about Wi-Fi up there. He stopped speaking to me for a year.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow, as we told you earlier, the chemistry Nobel is in.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNew detail: the WSJ names the winners, Henri Kagan of France and Kenso Soai of Japan.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, the prize is about molecules having a left hand and a right hand? Like, they're lefty or righty? That's wild.
