UK hits back on Israeli sanctions criticism

Newshour

Available for 29 days

The UK's foreign minister Ed Miliband has said his country had to "call out" Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it was "too late" to save the two-state solution. In response to UK sanctions, Israel has banned 11 MPs from entering the country, while the UK consulate in Jerusalem is expected to shut in the next 30 days. We'll look at how the sanctions will work in practice. Also in the programme: Concerns raised about the destructive nature of artificial intelligence - from within the industry; the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament files for bankruptcy protection; and we'll celebrate 60 years of Star Trek.
