The UK officially recognises Palestine as a state
Episode 179
Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description
Sir Keir Starmer announced the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state yesterday, alongside Canada, Australia and Portugal. Around 151 UN member states now do so. Benjamin Netanyahu said the recognition is "a huge reward to terrorism". How do you greet this moment, and what do you think it’ll actually mean?
And, several of Europe's busiest airports have spent the past few days in chaos after a major cyber-attack. In recent years we’ve also seen Marks & Spencers, Jaguar Land Rover, the Co-Op and NHS trusts brought to their knees by hackers, but with relatively little public reaction. Is this getting out of control? And, should we care more?
