Jerusalem
We hear about daily life for Jerusalem's Jews and Arabs. Also is the rising violence in Jerusalem a new Palestinian Intifada - or uprising?
We discuss daily life for Jerusalem's Jews and Arabs. Israel has stepped up security in the city and concrete barriers have been placed at bus stops after yesterday's deliberate car attack. In recent week's tensions have risen between the city's mixed population. There have been Palestinian car attacks and an Israeli security crackdown, while Israel has denied male Muslim worshippers under the age of 50 access to the holy Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif compound. Jerusalem's name resonates around for the world for Christians, Jews and Muslims alike and echoes through centuries of shared and disputed history. We hear what life is like on a daily basis in Jerusalem for people from different backgrounds. There's also a heated discussion in the Israeli media about whether the rising violence amounts to a new Palestinian Intifada - or uprising. We'll hear that discussion too.
