Israel's allies condemn vote to ban UNRWA

Newshour

Israel's allies condemn a parliamentary vote effectively banning the main UN agency for Palestinians. We hear from the UK’s minister for the middle east – but what are the chances the Israeli government will listen? And who is Naim Qassem, long-time deputy to Hassan Nasrallah and now leader of Hezbollah?

Also in the programme: Iran executes a German-Iranian activist - we hear from another Iranian dissident; and how a researcher browsing the internet unearthed an entire lost Mayan city in Mexico.
