We speak to the BBC's Jon Donnison, in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra, where Israeli settlers laid siege to Palestinian families' homes for days. He tells us that it is a new tactic to try to illegally take over the land.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were sent to break up the settlers' blockade of Qusra.

A spokesman for the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the BBC that the settlers' actions have been "deplorable", and that those responsible would be prosecuted.

The US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee - a long-time supporter of Israeli settlements in the West Bank - said the US has been "very involved" in efforts to end the siege. He described the settlers' actions as "disgusting" and a "horrific act of terror".

Settlements are illegal under international law, but Mr Netanyahu's government - a coalition that includes far-right politicians - has promoted their rapid expansion.

In his first term as president, Donald Trump said that settlements "complicate" the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians. Mr Trump's relationship with Mr Netanyahu has been tested recently over the war with Iran, and Israel's continued campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Last month, US President Donald Trump secretly swapped planes via a catering truck as he left a Nato summit in Turkey. The elaborate ruse, first reported by the Washington Post, was in response to a possible threat from Iran.

But how serious were the US administration’s fears of an assassination attempt? And does the Iranian regime have the capability to carry out such an operation beyond its borders?

We speak to Parham Ghobadi, a senior reporter at the BBC’s Persian Service, and Dan Lamothe of the Washington Post, to understand more about what transpired on Air Force One, the history of Iran’s alleged assassination plots, and why the Iranian regime’s prime target might be its own citizens.

The Israeli military has said it will deploy additional troops to the occupied West Bank after failing to force away Israeli settlers who have trapped two Palestinian families in their homes since Sunday.

The Abu Ridi and Hassan families - who live on the outskirts of the village of Qusra, south of Nablus - made appeals for help after their water and power supplies were cut off and their food stocks ran low.

The case is the latest to draw attention to the relative impunity of settlers and how Israeli forces are struggling to deal with rising settler violence.

Videos shared from Qusra overnight show a dozen Israeli security vehicles – including a bulldozer.

In an exclusive interview, BBC Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg sits down with Dmitry Muratov, the Nobel Prize-winning Russian journalist.

Muratov co-founded Novaya Gazeta, a newspaper that became the flagship media outlet for independent journalism in Russia. He and his colleagues have faced threats for their work and six of the paper’s journalists were murdered, including Anna Politkovskaya, who investigated human rights abuses in Chechnya.

Soon after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, under pressure from the authorities Novaya Gazeta halted operations and its licence was subsequently revoked.

In the Novaya Gazeta offices that were raided earlier this year by police, Muratov talks to Rosenberg about public perception of Russia’s war on Ukraine, increasing repression inside the country, and the man who has ruled Russia for more than a quarter of a century – Vladimir Putin.

00:38 - 01:33 Who is Dmitry Muratov?
