Israel PM defiant in face of 'coup'

Newsday

Available for over a year

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said he will continue to lead the country in spite of his indictment on corruption charges. He responded angrily to the indictment in a televised speech. The UK government has announced that a number of children, whose British parents were inside the former Islamic State territory and who died in Syria, are being returned to the UK. Earlier this week we spoke to a 20-year-old who was hiding in Hong Kong’s besieged Polytechnic University, in fear of being arrested. Since we spoke to him, he's managed to escape and we found out how he is getting on.
