at the time of filming, the west bank had become an extremely dangerous place to operate.ase. 0k. but the experienced team were acutely aware of balancing the risks with their duty to report the story. i cover a lot of conflicts in my career. i think that what's going through your mind when you're faced with that violence, you know, when you're held at gunpoint, you're just trying to stay focused. you're trying to ensure that you being there is worth the risk. and that, for me, means coming out with the story, making sure that people's voices are heard, making sure that the world understands what's happening in this region. thejudges commended the film—makers for their rigorous and in—depth investigative journalism, and for bringing a critical new understanding to an extensively covered conflict. with exclusive, intimate access, this film by melanie quigley, vladimir sevrinovsky, oksana serbinova, anastasia tenisheva and evan williams reveals the story of russian women trying to find theirsons, husbands and brothers who've gone missing fighting in ukraine. filmed by a team

and by the way, they will turn to the west bank very soon.smotrich, the finance minister, only last week, saying that 2025, which is a few weeks ago, they will annexe the west bank. and i want to talk to you about how diplomacy might find a route out of that. but before i do... no, no, let me, let me let me just put this point. they are after the erasure of the palestinian people everywhere. by deeds, not words. well, let me put to you that they're not in favour of depopulating the palestinian people. they do want to get rid of hamas. and when they hear you, someone who doesn't agree with hamas, someone whose life is committed to a two—state solution, say, "well, hamas are part of the palestinian people, it's up to us to deal with it." they might say, well, look, there's the problem. there's terrible terrorist acts being committed. they say, and you guys want to say, well, just leave it to us to deal with it. well, you haven't dealt with it. well, then you tell me. then we have to take all the kahanists out of the israeli society. and i want

and while gaz that remains a hotspot, tensions in the west bank are roll. so escalating the is really army has stepped off. it's raise their leading to gas and arrests while a series of controversial laws targets in palestinians have recently been passed. and now with trumps re election discussions have resurfaced about israel potentially a next in the west bank earlier and his wells far right finance minister and known for his strong n 2 probably seen in stands suggested that the west bank already largely under is really control could officially become positive as well by 2025 on wednesday, the prominent american investigative journalist linked information that appears to confirmed these plans of control over all of gaza and the west bank is the core demand of the religious right in israel. that now dominates the government. i was told this week by a well informed washington official that the israeli leadership will formerly annex the west bank in the very near future. perhaps in 2 weeks, in the hope that the decisive step will end once and for all, any ta

he does know where the west bank is showing the blank mount and ask you more of the west bank. he's, he's, he's not gonna know he thinks the west bank is a club in new jersey, or i know that's not the point. i go back to the, to, to, to in the salient, i think that are salient points. number one, israel would never dare to. and next the entire which thing because it knows even this government understands the around the figures. secondly, and i repeat the point i made earlier, tom trump is going to be much more attuned to and influenced by the stories the cup tardies and the me, roddy, is that he's ever going to be buying this during that time. yeah. so if i were a pounds senior given my, i'm my frustration with the obama administration was a trump administration with a binder ministration and our, the new uh, um, fast forwards trump administration. i would, i would tell these early, let's see we, there you go. okay, let's stick with a post. i mean, people could, because i have like they have going to be the brunt of the impact of what if a trump decides or allows to happen when

what on cnn may be called the west bank, even the occupied west bank, right. >> even occupied west bank. but we we don't see it that way. >> but the history of the west bank is complex, and deeply disputed. under international law. israel is deemed to be occupying the land settler violence against palestinians is significantly up over trump's last government's claim to the land is at its most politically charged in years. powerful right wing nationalists in the government want to annex the entire occupied west bank. so too does fleisher. >> we're still fighting a war of liberation for that piece of land. >> and it's going to be helpful in that liberation. >> i think he will be 50 miles north on the fringes of the west bank. >> palestinian village bardala. israeli barrier through the middle of palestinian farms on land they say is a security risk. the israeli government is in the process of taking more land. the head of the council tells me, claiming no security threats here what the media is talking about with huckabee is already happening, he says. these actions are part of israel's sy

but it's also not possible as long as palestinians on the west bank are having their property confiscated, livestock killed, and communities bulldozed. violence settlers in the west bank have carried out almost 1,300 known attacks against palestinians since october 7. at least 25 new outposts have been established, 70 illegal outposts were recognized and elibleible -- eligible for funding by the israeli government all of these actions are illegal under international louisiana earlier this year president biden issued executive order 14115 that authorized the imposition of sanctions on anyone determined to be, quote, responsible for complicit in or directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in actions that threaten the peace, security, or stability of the west bank. to date president biden has used this order to sanction palestinian militant groups, organizations involved in violent extremist activity, instigators from the settler movement, and outposts from which violent attacks are launched. but just as it is appropriate for israel to target hamas leadership in their response t

s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem had also supported jewish settlements in the west bank, but all considered illegal under international law. now many believe trump will continue pursuing a vision of a larger israel for that distance thing from the idea of about a student state. so it's not only guys on the fate of the entire region remains unclear. meanwhile, in syria and he's ready to strike on the historic city of palm mirror, i has killed at least 56 people and left i left more than 50 others when did. and that's according to local authorities, the residential buildings and not industrial district where head media reports claim that israel was targeting a military group supposedly linked to iran, of ancient city, which is a new that's cool. well, heavy big side was previously seized and partially destroyed by law makes the militants in 2015 syrian based academy isabel, as i've done this, as of in the absence of the ministry trial, israel has resulted to attacking civilians are meeting themselves from a defeat to one another i mean, is ryan is trying this regime is trying to ch

but i think we could see a more aggressive pastor in the west bank is real. of course is applying its genocidal tactics with increasing frequency in the west bank. it is carried out the largest land seizure since october 7th that we've seen in the west bank since the occupation. um, so that would be the difference. uh, i will say this on trump's, but have another trump supporter. but he doesn't seem to like where the democratic party is clearly the war party in this country. yes. i agree with you. i don't know how he's going to square the circle on that when you're essentially the same question to allister and do with the added question at the end. when will trump get tired of the side of the slogan? genocide, don? well, 1st of all, i like to say i agree with your cautious bus comes actually we don't know who's going to be in the team. there's a lot of disruptive propaganda going on with many of the neo cons, lobbying and trying to get themselves, either into the transition or into the cabinet. and we've seen that we've completely bogus attempts to say that i

that's important news that yes, they want to annex the west bank. but they also want to annex gaza, they largely are achieving that in northern gaza. they want to create a humanitarian crisis that is a such catastrophic proportions in the southern guy, the guy that they believe the israel isn't. that will put pressure on the international community to essentially de populate or ethnically cleanse. southern does so that's the plan. i don't know whether it's going to work. i've just been an egypt. it's so my understanding is the judge in military has made it very clear to presidency, saying that there will be no palestinians in the sign i as is real, would like and as, as our secretary of state and to the blinking proposed to the c. c. government, the inter damian's have moved their troops up to the borders of the west bank because again, an anticipation of a massive ethnic cleansing campaign to push palestinians in the door. and those are very, very volatile moments. um and i, i, i'm not as worried about the frame because honestly, i don't see what e

they might be in the west bank because they didn't pay the price.ople, no, not at all. ever since the 1990s, there's been a new and perhaps mildly unlikely superpower in the cultural life of the world — south korea. k—pop has become deeply influential in world pop music. korean cinema is famously good, and parasite from 2019 won an oscar for best picture. the other day, the korean novelist and booker prize winner han kang was given the nobel prize for literature. and if, like me, you've become an addict of the weird, violent, unpredictable tv series squid game, you'll have been delighted to hear that a new series is about to hit our screens. but how has this cultural flowering happened? i turned to the bbc correspondent in seoul, jean mackenzie. because korea and the united states have this very close relationship, they've been in this military alliance since the end of the korean war, people here have sort of grown up on us culture. and film—makers in particular were looking to hollywood for inspiration. and so by the time the audiences arrived and

i want to go onto gaza and the west bank, _ going.he west bank, but briefly - going. i want to go onto gaza and| the west bank, but briefly looking at iran, what influence do you think iran might bring to bear at this point? will be encouraging hezbollah, do you think, to stick to the terms of this cease—fire? i think the last few months have made a significant difference to the position of iran. they've seen hezbollah and hamas that they previously supported being heavily impacted. this probably difficult getting arms supplies through to syria. that's always been a regular target of israel, but perhaps when the determination now. iran has been hit itself and will worry that it's in no position either to continue to risk further attacks from israel itself or ask other people to do it. iran is also conducting its own diplomatic exercises in the region. it's being received by saudi arabia, by the uae. if there is to be a future in the middle east, it will encompass a different iran. just maybe, this might be the first tentative step tow
