There is some doubt whether the US approach to Yemen-based Houthi is the right one.
The US and UK have launched a third round of strikes against the militant group -- hitting 36 targets across 13 locations.
Washington think tank Defence Priorities senior fellow Gil Barndollar told Tim Dower these strikes aren't going to end the Houthi regime.
