21-10-1 Taiwan says record 38 Chinese planes entered defence zone:

The defence ministry said the aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers, entered its air defence identification zone (ADIZ) in two waves. Taiwan responded by scrambling its jets and deploying missile systems. China sees democratic Taiwan as a breakaway province, but Taiwan sees itself as a sovereign state. Taiwan has been complaining for more than a year about repeated missions by China's air force near the island.

Neo-Ottamanism

02:22 The Republic of Turkey
04:40 Neo-Ottomanism - The Birth
07:56 Turgut Özal's Superpower Policy
12:16 Neo-Ottomanism of the XXI century
20:07 Stripped of Superpower Plans
28:04 AKP’s Neo-Ottoman legacy
30:00 Outro

Turkey is attempting to reassert itself back onto the world stage but stands at a crossroads as to which direction to extend its influence. Europe has blocked Turkey's entry into the EU for decades now, and Central Asia remains a little out of reach, so should Ankara turn toward the Middle East for adventurism. With this question in mind, we ask our experts what are Turkey's short and long-term goals here in the Middle East, and whether we will see Turkey once again use its geography to dominate the energy industry.

The war in Yemen is a conflict that has been going on since 2014. Officially it is a civil war between the government forces of Mansur Hadi and the Shia "rebels" Houthi, but in reality it is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and Iran for control of the Arabian Peninsula and the strategic Bab El Mandeb Strait. Unfortunately, the UN has described the war as one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes currently underway. In this documentary video we delve into the history of Yemen, the origin of the war, how it broke out, and the interests at stake.
