BBC World Service - Newshour, Thousands of Israeli nationalists march in East Jerusalem

Israeli nationalists mark the annexation of East Jerusalem by Israel in 1967.

Israeli nationalists march through East Jerusalem to celebrate its annexation more than 50 years ago. It marks a test for the new Israeli government.

Hard-line nationalist Israelis have been marching through parts of East Jerusalem to mark the annexation of the area by Israel more than 50 years ago. We hear from a minister in the coalition on what he makes of the march and what to expect from an Israel under new management.

Also on the programme: the longest Arctic expedition produces one of the most worrying warnings on climate change; and ahead of the Biden-Putin summit, what is it the Russian leader wants?
