Israeli settlers attack West Bank olive harvesters

Newshour

Available for 27 days

Dozens of masked Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians harvesting olives in the village of Abu Falah in the occupied West Bank. The settlers beat and threw stones at villagers and burned olive trees and cars, while two people were taken to hospital. We'll hear from a Palestinian olive farmer who has suffered an attack. Also in the programme: Donald Trump hits out again at Volodomyr Zelensky, while the Ukrainian president praises what he calls the "real leaders" of Europe; we'll hear from a student protester in Albania, as violence rocks the streets of the capital; and will Tesla's new flying car really get off the ground?
