WeekendAvailable for 29 days
The son of Heidi Levine, the American photojournalist attacked by settlers this week, has condemned the ongoing violence in the occupied West Bank. We speak to Michael Milner about her mother's condition and the response to her mother's attack from the United States and Israel. Also in the programme: we look ahead to tomorrow's independence vote in the Canadian state of Alberta; and we speak to the House of Lords peer Jane Campbell after she delivered the first speech to Britain's Parliament using artificial intelligence. Joining Celia Hatton on the programme are Norwegian author and journalist Åsne Seierstad and Michael Shear, the chief United Kingdom correspondent for the New York Times.
