About this episode

The attacks came hours after the United States confirmed that it had limited Ukraine's access to commercial satellite imagery, on top of pausing military and intelligence aid.

Also on the programme: we'll have more on reports that the minority Alawite community has been targeted by government troops in Latakia, Syria; and did illegal drugs, taken by some at the Nova festival in Israel attacked by Hamas on October 7th, help them recover from the trauma?
