UN calls for full inquiry into West Bank shooting

The United Nations has called for a full investigation into the death of an American-Turkish dual citizen in the occupied West Bank on Friday. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who is of Turkish descent, was allegedly shot in the head by Israeli troops while taking part in a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beita near Nablus.

Also in the programme: three days of national mourning have started in Kenya after at least seventeen children died in a fire at a school; and people in Algeria are voting for a new president today.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this are Gina Yannitell Reinhardt, a professor of government at the University of Essex, and Fuad Musallam, an assistant professor of social anthropology at the University of Birmingham.
