Venetia RaineyHOST
Taiz-Al Bahah is in southern Yemen.
Venetia RaineyHOST
It's between Taiz and Aden, where we know the Houthis have been trying to cut off key roads connecting the two areas.
Venetia RaineyHOST
So I want to bring in our guests now today.
Venetia RaineyHOST
Henry Bodkin is our Jerusalem correspondent joining us from Jerusalem, and Tal Hagen, an Israel-based OSINT specialist and director of intelligence network OTUS.
Pritish KarkareGUEST
And he actually, that was not the only letter that he sent to Nature.
Pritish KarkareGUEST
Before that, he sent out a short note to Nature, which he mailed from Aden, a port town in Yemen, which was followed by this letter, which became a very pivotal moment in the scientific wo- scientific work of C.V. Raman, which he presumably mailed right after getting to Bombay, which is now Mumbai.
Pritish KarkareGUEST
Uh, and therefore in the byline it writes C.V. Raman, SS Narkunda, which was the name of the ship from Bombay Harbor, which, yeah, goes on to say a lot about how Raman thought and worked, uh, in his scientific endeavors.
Hamish JohnstonHOST
So that's amazing.
Hamish JohnstonHOST
So Aden is, I don't know, it's probably about halfway between England and Mumbai, so, you know, he couldn't even wait to get [chuckles] home.
Hamish JohnstonHOST
He was so excited about the observations that he was making on the ship.
Hamish JohnstonHOST
Um, so yeah, that is a, I mean, that is a really interesting insight.

Unos 30 puestos de control a lo largo del trayecto marcaban los tramos de carretera dominados por distintos comandantes, una clara señal de la fragmentación de las fuerzas que combaten del lado gubernamental.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Chapter twenty-four: Through the Suez Canal.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
The voyage from Aden to Suez in such weather as fell to our lot is one of dreamy delight.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Leaving Aden behind, we sailed along a coast guarded by files of sentinel hills rising one above another with boundless wealth of blue sea at their feet.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
There is no sign of tree or verdure, but the rocks, birth of volcano, take on in the varying distance hues of infinite beauty.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Close by Aden, there is a miniature bay of pure white sand shut out from the world in the rear by an impenetrable wall of rock.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
This is called Honeymoon Bay because, it is said, young couples getting married have been known to sail away and build them a tent here.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Further out, there are a constant succession of bays sufficient to meet the honeymoon necessities of the close of a London season.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
The last time I saw it, midway up the Red Sea, it was shining brightly in the southern heavens, whilst to the eastward both sea and sky were suffused with the rosy tints of the coming sun.
Hoai-Tran BuiHOST
But once he was cast as Colonel Lethbridge Stewart, director Douglas Canfield thought he had a lot of potential.
Hoai-Tran BuiHOST
He felt that he was akin to Lieutenant Colonel Colin Campbell Mitchell, whose leadership of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders during the 1967 uprising at Aden, now part of Yemen.
Hoai-Tran BuiHOST
I had heard him the nickname Mad Mitch.
Hoai-Tran BuiHOST
That seems like British history or I'm not familiar with.
Eric LevyHOST
Still, it's impossible to pin down the exact geography.
Eric LevyHOST
And, in fact, or I should say the fact that modern Aden in Yemen at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, assuming that there is a real connection between that city and the biblical Eden, complicates things further.
Eric LevyHOST
There are two important things to note here besides the geography.
Eric LevyHOST
The mention of Ashur is not an anachronism.
Steve StocktonHOST
It was a suffocating, unnatural stillness that hummed like a live wire, the eerie, locked-door silence of the silent twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons.
Steve StocktonHOST
They came into the world in April of 1963, born only ten minutes apart in a military hospital in Aden, Yemen, to Gloria and Aubrey Gibbons, a quiet couple from the sun-drenched island of Barbados.
Steve StocktonHOST
When Aubrey's service with the Royal Air Force brought the family across the ocean to the windswept military bases of England and eventually Wales, the two identical girls were already beginning to retreat from the world of the living.
Steve StocktonHOST
To their neighbors and teachers in Haverford West, June and Jennifer looked like porcelain dolls cast from the very same mold.

Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And they were called Trucial because there was a truce in which they'd all signed.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And so the British actually controlled Aden, Oman, and then what is now UAE, all those emirates up the coast towards Kuwait, which was entering into the British sphere at that point.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And they remained British protectorates until 1971.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
So though most of the Middle East became independent after World War II, effectively, these only joined later.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
India, Pakistan, a partition that cost 12 million to 14 people displaced, about 2 million killed, extraordinary.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
Then Palestine.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And then they had Aden, where they just left and gave the Marxists, the Marxists, Leninist Marxists, the control of what became the People's Republic of South Yemen.
