So catch us up here. Tell us about these attacks on Yemen's capital, Sanaa. What were the targets?
Now, Israel says this attack was in retaliation for missiles being fired from Yemen. When did this all start?
Well, as Netanyahu alluded to, Israel has been weakening its enemies on multiple fronts, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, both also supported by Iran. What are you hearing about the Houthis' capabilities, Carrie?
That's NPR international correspondent Carrie Khan. Thanks, Carrie. You're welcome. Georgia straddles Europe and Asia and it has an important and complicated relationship with neighboring Russia. This weekend, the country is set to swear in a new president and he is a vocal critic of the West.
This follows protests that broke out in the capital Tbilisi last month after the government decided to suspend talks to join the European Union. Meanwhile, Georgia's incumbent president has refused to stand down following October's disputed election. Joining me now is reporter Robin Forrester-Walker, who's been following the protests. Thanks for joining us.
So who is the newly elected president, and why is this looking like a potential showdown between Georgia's opposition and the government?
How did Georgia get to where it is now and what is Russia's role here?
Now, the Georgian Dream Party, this is Georgia's governing party, they say they're pro-European still, though, right? I mean, what happens next here?
That's reporter Robin Forestier-Walker, who's been following the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia. Thanks so much for being here.

A Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure leaves thousands of people without heat in the winter's cold, and it's not the first time. We hear what Ukrainians have to say about the attack on Christmas Day. I'm Sarah McCammon, and this is Up First from NPR News. Automakers are trying to adapt to seismic changes in their industry.
Why some companies might not make it through the transition. And the holiday season in Nigeria is muted this year against the backdrop of an economic crisis. Reforms praised by Western institutions have led to crushing inflation. Stay with us. We'll give you the news you need to start your day.
Crews in Ukraine are cleaning up following a deadly attack on Christmas Day. Moscow launched some 70 missiles and more than 100 drones packed with explosives. They appeared to target Ukraine's energy grid. NPR's Brian Mann joins us now from Kiev. Hi, Brian.
So tell us about this Russian attack. What made it through Ukraine's air defenses?
This is now the third winter of the war there. And whenever it gets cold, Russia seems to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure. How well is it holding up?
And Brian, what are these attacks meaning for people's daily lives there in Ukraine?
Now, just before Christmas, you visited the front lines in eastern Ukraine, where the fighting is the most intense. How are things there?
That's NPR's Brian Mann in Kyiv. Thanks so much.
Hey there. Hey, Sarah. So these are two really well-known automakers with very long histories and reputations. Why would they want to merge?
