Israel Controversially Legalises Settlements
New law retroactively affects almost 4000 homes built on private Palestinian land
A new law passed in the Israeli parliament has retroactively legalised almost 4000 settler homes built on privately-owned Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. We hear from an Israeli settler and a Palestinian lawyer.
Also on the programme: Britain's parliament is divided over a potential state visit from President Trump. And we go the Hungarian village leading the "war against Muslim culture".
