Foreign.
Welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
I'm Celia Hatton, and I'm coming to you live from our studio in central London.
We begin today with the continued fallout from a group chat fiasco involving the highest ranking officials in the Trump administration,
the very people that are tasked with overseeing America's security.
We know this group was debating a military strike on the militant Houthi group in Yemen,
not because a whistleblower told us,
but because a prominent journalist was mistakenly invited to join the group's chat on an unsecure messaging app signal.
Here's that journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of the Atlantic,
speaking to the US Public broadcaster pbs.
You know, it really became a very bizarre situation on Saturday 15th March,
when I was shared on a text in this group from somebody purporting to be Pete Hegseth,
the secretary of defense.
This text contained operational military information,
including the time that bombs were supposed to start dropping on Yemen,
and this was two hours before that time.
So I simply waited and stared at my phone.
Sure enough, the American attack on Yemen began to be felt at about 1:30 Eastern or so,
1:30, 50 Eastern.
And that's when I realized that the chain was real.
