Turkish-American activist shot dead in the West Bank

Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was allegedly shot by Israeli troops, according to local media reports and fellow activists, while taking part in a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beita. The killing comes after Israeli forces withdrew from Jenin city at the end of a major nine-day operation. Also on the programme: an Mpox vaccination drive is launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo, giving hope to those at risk of contracting the virus; and as China announces it will end all international adoption from the country, we speak to a student adopted by American parents when she was a baby.
