Living with antisemitism

Outside Source

Available for 29 days

British police say the man arrested after two Jewish men were stabbed in London on Wednesday had previously been referred to the government’s counter‑extremism programme. The attack is the latest in a string of incidents targeting Jewish people. We get the latest from our correspondent and bring together three people from Jewish communities in the UK, Germany and Australia to share their experiences of antisemitism. In the United States, state‑licensed medical marijuana - or cannabis - has been officially reclassified as a less dangerous drug, marking a major policy shift by the Trump administration. We hear from three people who use medical cannabis and speak to our health expert. And US prosecutors have accused the sitting governor of Mexico's Sinaloa state, Rubén Rocha Moya, of conspiring with cartel drug traffickers. Our global affairs reporter explains.
