Israel bans UN Palestinian refugee agency

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel's parliament has passed two laws banning the UN's Palestinian refugee agency (Unwra) from operating in the country. We speak to an Israeli MP who backed the ban. Also in the programme: The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the cap on bus fares will rise from £2 to £3 after this week’s Budget. We hear how this has gone down with commuters and talk to Labour's West of England Mayor Dan Norris. We speak to former Barack Obama campaign manager Jim Messina about controversial comments made at a Donald Trump rally. And should magicians ever reveal their secrets?
