A.M. Edition for Oct. 7. Russian weapons dealer Viktor Bout is trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen’s Houthi militants, just two years after he was released from a U.S. jail in a trade with Moscow for American basketball star Brittney Griner. Plus, the WSJ’s Anat Peled brings us an update on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, one year on from Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel. And, with a new hurricane headed toward Florida, the WSJ’s Deborah Acosta explains the effects of extreme weather on the real-estate market. Azhar Sukri hosts.
