From the transcript

The nation of Yemen is in crisis, and this time it's not booty rebel organisation that are responsible.

Over the last several days, a powerful fighting faction called the Southern Transitional Council has conducted a rapid territorial takeover, seizing the means of production across Yemen's most important oil fields and conquering cities with stunning efficiency.

Yemen's internationally recognised government is at risk of collapse, and if the Southern rebels have their way, they'll soon rule over a brand new nation.
