Violent clashes in Jerusalem between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters

BBC World Service - Weekend, Violent clashes in Jerusalem between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters

Nearly 200 people in Jerusalem have been injured in protests

Nearly 200 people in Jerusalem have been injured in protests.

There's been unrest in Jerusalem over the potential eviction of Palestinian families from land claimed by Israeli settlers. Hundreds of people, both protesters, and police were wounded in the clashes.

Also in the programme: results are coming in from Britain's biggest polls since the 2019 General Election; and the extraordinary stories of Jewish families who used classified adverts in the Guardian newspaper to flee the Holocaust and save their loved ones.

To discuss these stories and more, Celia Hatton is joined by Maya Goodfellow, a London based writer and academic specialising in race and immigration, and Rami Khouri, professor of journalism and a non-resident senior fellow at the Kennedy School of Harvard University in Boston.
