US President Joe Biden's immigration chief escapes impeachment over the border crisis by a razor-thin margin, in a show of support that left House Republicans two votes short of the total they needed to force a Senate trial.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the UK will act again if Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen persist in attacking shipping in the Red Sea, speaking after a second round of joint US-UK strikes. "We urge the Huthis and those who enable them to stop these illegal and unacceptable attacks. But if necessary, the United Kingdom will not hesitate to respond in self-defence. We cannot stand by and allow these attacks to go unchallenged," he tells parliament. SOUNDBITE
