Kherson after the Russians

BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Kherson after the Russians

Suspicions linger after occupation; tales from occupied West Bank, Pakistan and the US

Suspicion and fear in the liberated city of Kherson in Ukraine; a West Bank community threatened with eviction; Imran Khan’s political long game and New York City’s war on rats.

Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from Ukraine, the occupied West Bank, Pakistan and the USA.

Jeremy Bowen was in Kherson shortly after the Russian withdrawal, but he found that even after liberation, suspicion and division fostered during the occupation of the city were still on locals’ minds.

For Palestinians living in the hamlets of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, there’s concern as the new Israeli government takes shape. Yolande Knell spoke to villagers worried that some far right politicians want to evict communities like theirs. 

Samira Hussain attended one of the many political rallies which former PM Imran Khan held on his March to Islamabad, and met him again after an assassination attempt a fortnight later - wounded, but determined to continue his political fight. 

And New York City is cleaning up its garbage disposal rules, to fight a population explosion - of rats. The Mayor has a plan to tackle the problem, but there's still plenty around for any rodent to nibble, finds Laura Trevelyan.
