Germany has admitted to an apparent hack by Russia of a military meeting where personnel discussed giving Ukraine long range missiles and possible targets.

Europe correspondent Gavin grey told Mike Hosking the hack is being investigated but it is being questioned why the video conference was held on the WebEx platform rather than a secret internal army network.

Meanwhile, the first vessel to be sunk by Houthi rebels in Yemen could cause a large environmental catastrophe.
