refusal to exclude the definition of israel as a racist endeavour from anti—semitism. any state can be a racist endeavour. australia and the united states were countries built on the backs of their indigenous inhabitants. if you do not include the statement, you virtually exclude israel from the group of civilised nations, so you have to include it. this is a terrible and sad and depressing mess. i agree basically with ned's view of where it comes from, although i might put it slightly differently. but i think we are now in a situation where the telegraph headline this morning on the front page says "corbyn is an anti—semite, " says munich survivor". this is being used by people on the right to attack corbyn and the labour party. i would say anti—semitism is far more rife on the right notjust in britain but all over europe than it is in the labour party. but there is this particular tradition on the left, an anti—imperialist tradition which goes from supporting the rights of palestinians to self—determination, which is extremely important and which is often eli

and to hold israel toa to nazi germany and to hold israel to a higher standard. that's not enough. people from the jewish community have said their refusal to adopt the full definition of anti—semitism set out by the international holocaust remembrance alliance is at the centre of the problems with thejewish community. this has been said a lot over the last few days, looks like the british board of he is getting involved again but only todayjeremy corbyn produced a video on social media —— british board ofjewish deputies. he stated his position clearly. instinctively i think... this is two years into his leadership. three. thank you. he is still making the transition from polemicist, activist, very opinionated spokesman, deeply passionate. 0n the one hand, i commend someone passionate. 0n the one hand, i commend someone in abstract who sticks to their ideals, isn't a populist, isn't a blairite manoeuvre, manipulating his ideals for the electorate. but this is clearly the other side of the line. this reminds me of trump speak in that the more you try to deba

israel's druze minority protest against a new nationality law that they see as discriminating against them as non—jews. calm after the media storm — 11 of the boys rescued from a flooded thai cave are ordained as novice buddhist monks. hello and welcome to world news today. nearly two months after the historic summit between donald trump and kimjong un, little is clear about what the two countries actually agree on. at a second singapore summit on saturday it was their foreign ministers who exchanged friendly smiles and handshakes: as us secretary of state mike pompeo met his north korean counterpart. pompeo said he was still optimistic about a nuclear disarmament deal but urged others at the asean summit not to let up on sanctions against north korea. the north koreans say they are "alarmed" at this us hard line. i'm joined from washington by our correspondent, chris buckler. once again its sanctions that are proving incredibly divisive for the two countries. yes, you could argue there are two different messages coming from the us white house. firstly the message from donald trum

, thanks to events like this one being run by the uk israel business group. by bringing companies together to do deals like this, the uk government hopes that the tech hub model can be rolled out in other countries after brexit, boosting trade. in seven years, the hub has brought an estimated £800 million boost to the uk economy, recently celebrated at the opening of the london stock exchange. companies from india, brazil and south africa could find themselves in this position soon as the uk government rolls out more tech hubs. they will help with setting up in the uk on issues ranging from visas to finding investment. the benefits of this model is that it allows us to rapidly connect uk businesses with fast—growing, disruptive technology businesses that are being developed around the world. this means uk businesses can either create partnerships, can make acquisitions of those companies, but also it means those companies see what the uk has to offer and see the uk as a place where they can expand. whilst the electric truck company has limited concern that

it is worth keeping israel in our minds, because a lot of the current anti—semitism is hidden behind a criticism of israel, but it is so angry and aggressive that it is clear it is not all that is at play, or it is motivated by a very skewed image of israel, a liberal democracy in the middle east, that has pluses and minuses like any country, but is based on value similar to our own. katie, a sociology lecturer at york university, you have been listening to what jonathan had university, you have been listening to whatjonathan had to say. you study racism, that is part of your profession. how big an issue do you think anti—semitism is within the whole spectrum of hate politics across the uk? within the whole spectrum of hate politics in the uk, i don't think it is as bad as has been made out. i think what is remarkable is actually the way in which the same discussions are just not being hard about things like islamophobia, for example. we have seen murderers, acid attacks, punish a muslim day, statistics frequently showing a sharp rise in the number of anti—muslim incidents. showi
