Turning now to world news.

Yemen's president has dismissed several ministers and officers after Houthi victories and pressure from southern Yemenis for more power. UN‑recognised government says the shake‑up aims to regain territory lost in September and end the four‑week siege of Taiz, the country's third‑largest city. The Oct. 5 counteroffensive has failed, with fighting leaving thousands dead on both sides.

That's the world news. Ivy has your forecast for today.
