Newsday

Available for 29 days

Britain, France and Canada have announced sanctions on West Bank settlements. The British foreign secretary accused settlers of carrying out the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. Israel has responded by shutting the UK consulate in East Jerusalem. Nepal rescue focused on workers trapped in three tunnels. We speak to a Nepali politician directly involved in the rescue. And OpenAI says it's solved a decades-old maths problem in just a few days. Presenters: Anne Soy and James Copnall.
