#Security: Analysis by Frank Gardner, BBC Security Correspondent

The pre-dawn raid by US Special Operations commandos in Yemen was planned while Barack Obama was still president. But it was President Donald Trump who authorised it, launching a rare operation that put US boots briefly on the ground in a part of Yemen largely controlled by al-Qaeda and its tribal allies.

Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab world, has been gripped by a seemingly intractable civil war for more than two years.

It is also home to a branch of al-Qaeda considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world. The group, thought to number only a few hundred Saudi and Yemeni militants, includes a number of expert bomb-makers who have succeeded in smuggling explosives on board planes three times.

The US has carried out frequent missile strikes on al-Qaeda's bases in Yemen using unmanned drones.

#Healthwire: Tea tree oil.

When it comes to skin problems, don’t forget to use tea tree oil. This essential oil is quite effective in curing skin disorders because of its antiviral as well as antiseptic properties. Applying diluted tea tree oil on the skin can solve oily skin problems and it can also help kill off the warts growing on your skin. Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.
