Can we imagine the BBC or any other western news organisation framing the segment in the following terms: "There's the question of proportionality. Is it justified to kill five journalists when you were only targeting one?"

An Estonian theatre reimagines ‘Romeo and Juliet’ as a demolition derby
It's Shakespeare, but not as you know it. Estonia is the latest place to stage an unorthodox version of Romeo and Juliet.

Israel’s never officially said it has nukes or tested any, but it probably has around 80 to 100 warheads that could be launched by missile, plane, or submarine. What could possibly go wrong? 😑

Gaza community kitchens say food is running out after two months of Israeli blockade.

“We used to receive more than 100 trucks every week - trucks of food parcels and hygiene kits. Now we don't have anything.”

UN warns of starvation if blockade holds.

Parliament, not the Supreme Court should have decided today. I've written about why that's so problematic and why I fear today's judgment will be used to further delegitimise trans people, even though that is not what the Court intends.

*No Other Land* airs on *Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March.* Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

United against injustice: devastating doco No Other Land’s filmmakers speak
“A lot of people want to remain in this place where they don’t know.” A Palestinian filmmaker and his Israeli co-director change that.

Private Greed, Public Good: A History of the London's Water MERCENARY RIVER by NICK HIGHAM No city can survive without water, and lots of it. Today we take the stuff for granted: turn a tap and it gushes out. But it wasn't always so. For centuries London, one of the largest and richest cities in the world, struggled to supply its citizens with reliable, clean water. The Mercenary River tells the story of that struggle from the middle ages to the present day. Nick Higham is a journalist who has spent 30 years at the BBC: fifteen as their arts and media correspondent and also hosting Meet the Author' on the BBC News Channel.
