Yasmeen Altaji gives a round-up of today's trends

 

This is trending your daily rundown of news from the Middle East and around the world brought to you by The National. From Abu Dhabi, I'm Yasmin Altaji, here are today's headlines. Israel says it has intercepted a missile fired from Yemen at Tel Aviv. The Israeli army said in a statement the missile was intercepted outside Israeli territory. Houthis have repeatedly fired at Israel since October 7 in what they say shows solidarity with Palestine. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has issued a warning concerning faulty parts on some Boeing 737s. The warning includes the 737 MAX and says critical flight controls could jam. It's the latest blow to Boeing which has experienced a series of issues this year, including a doorplug blowout mid-air and a strike by 33,000 workers that began this month. And Gaza native Palestinian journalist Bissan Oda has won an Emmy for her on-the-ground coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. The win recognizes it's Bissan from Gaza and I'm still alive, a documentary project by Al Jazeera's AJ+. It follows an attempt by a pro-Israel nonprofit organization to pressure the awarding body to rescind Bissan's nomination. That's all for this morning's headlines.
