Reservists say they will refuse service if judicial overhaul passes

Reservists say they will refuse service if judicial overhaul passes.

More than a thousand reservists in Israel's air force - including hundreds of pilots -  have said they will not report for duty if the government continues with its plans for a radical overhaul of the judiciary. Our Middle East editor explains.

The number of people making the risky crossing of the Mediterranean sea to reach Europe has increased considerably this year. Our reporter is in southern Italy where he has been meeting people who have taken that dangerous migration route. We hear some of their stories.

Education authorities in the US state of Florida have been defending their decision to approve controversial new standards for teaching African- American history at the state's public schools. Our reporter explains.

We look at various Artificial Intelligence stories reported by our colleagues this week.
