A growing ISIL influence in the Philippines

A growing ISIL influence in the Philippines

The Philippines are experiencing an ISIL-influenced insurgency from 8,000 KM away. We analyse what might happen if hard-line President Rodrigo Duterte decides to crack down on the Islamist surge on several of the country’s islands. We talk to Florian Neuhof who has reported from the scene of an intense battle between the two sides.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been one of the most pro-Zionist leaders at the expense of Palestinians. However, as his reign is now threatened with corruption charges, his politics might be replaced by his son, Yair. Analysts say the 26-year-old is bolder and more aggressive. Ben Lynfield explains to us why.

Finally we are joined by Anna Zakarias, who covered one of the more business-oriented date festivals. The prices at these events can go up to several dozen dollars per piece.
