Global National: Oct. 30

Israel’s military is pushing deeper into the Gaza Strip, aiming to wipe out Hamas and rescue more than 200 hostages still being held by the militants. The growing desperation among civilians in Gaza; why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won’t agree to a ceasefire; the warnings from the United Nations to Israel about its response to Hamas; why the UN closed four aid distribution centres in Gaza, despite supplies being badly needed; West Bank residents on their fears of the region becoming another war front in a wider conflict, and meets an Israeli rabbi trying to stop injustices against Palestinians. A riot has erupted at the airport in Makhachkala in the Russian republic of Dagestan, which has a majority Muslim population. A mob stormed the building, looking for Jewish passengers. The worrying rise in antisemitism, and who Russian President Vladimir Putin is blaming for the mob at the airport. Plus, not so fast! The embarrassing error that forced the Pan American Games to walk back an apparent record-breaking performance in women’s race walking.
