The Train that Divides Jerusalem

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News Middle EastLatest broadcast: on BBC News Asia Pacific

On the anniversary of last summer's brutal conflict in Gaza, film-maker Adam Wishart visits Jerusalem and rides the city's controversial new train. Only nine miles from start to finish, some hoped it could help heal divisions between Israelis and Palestinians, but as Wishart discovers, it has only deepened the sense of resentment on both sides.
