LONDONDERRY, NORTHERN IRELAND - JANUARY 24: Liam Wray poses for a photograph in Glenfada Park, close to where his brother Jim Wray was shot dead in the back as he lay wounded by British paratroopers on what became known as Bloody Sunday on January 24, 2022 in Londonderry, also known as Derry, Northern Ireland. Lord Saville in his inquiry report said Mr Wray, who posed no great danger, was shot twice in the back and there were four soldiers who could have fired at him - soldiers E, F, G or H. The second shot was probably fired as he lay wounded, said Saville, meaning there could have been "no possible justification". The Bogside Massacre that came to be known as Bloody Sunday, took place on 30th January 1972. British soldiers shot at 26 unarmed civilians taking part in a protest march, killing 14.

epa09712805 Armed Houthi supporters hold their guns during a gathering to mobilize more fighters into the battlefronts amid an escalating war in the country, in Sana'a, Yemen, 27 January 2022. The Houthis are instigating the recruitment of more fighters to confront the Saudi-backed Yemeni troops on several battlefronts, including their ground offensive in the quest for control of the oil-rich province of Marib, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government's last northern stronghold. The Saudi-UAE-led coalition continues to wage airstrikes on Houthi positions across Yemen in a recent escalation to the war in the Arab country after the Houthis launched armed drones and ballistic missiles attacks on the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Yemen has been in the grip of a power struggle between the Saudi-backed government and the Houthis since late 2014, which sparked a full-blown armed conflict in March 2015 when the military coalition launched an airstrike campaign against the Houthis, claiming the lives of 377,000 people by the end of 2021.
