Two young men, one Palestinian and one Israeli, both of whom had lost people...

As Bad Monkey ambled its way to an Episode 5 midpoint, our concern was direction. Sure, Vince Vaughn had made Andrew Yancy immediately endearing with his fast talking and irrepressible ability to be charming.

Vince Vaughn stars in Bad Monkey. Courtesy of Apple TV+ Press Florida has been the site of a few ambitious-but-exhausting television shows this year, but thankfully Apple’s newest series Bad Monkey breaks the precedent set by the likes of Apples Never Fall and Palm Royale.

A fortnight ago, there would have been no questioning the devotion felt by Lebanese Shia Muslims for Iran. As for their brethren across the Middle East, Iran has long been their political and spiritual lodestar. “What the Vatican is for you Christians, Iran is for us Shia – only more so,” one is often told by Shias in Lebanon and elsewhere in the region. Yet with Iran shying away from direct...

Everything is about to rot in the state of Denmark. The sea is rising, water is starting to bubble out of the ground and a decision has been made: the entire country is going to be dismantled and turned into a wind farm, its six million inhabitants sent to whichever country will accept them.  Thomas Vinterberg’s grimly prophetic seven-part series Families Like Ours follows...

A pro-Israel counter-protester who confronted thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Manhattan on Labor Day declared afterwards: “If you’re Jewish and you vote for Democrats, you’re crazy, I’m sorry — you’re insane.” As Breitbart News reported, some 5,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators set off smoke bombs and confronted police in a march on Labor Day. At least one even carried Hamas...

Around 700 UK troops are deploying to Cyprus to be ready to help evacuate British nationals from Lebanon as fears grow of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah. Defence Secretary John Healey – who chaired a meeting of the UK’s emergency Cobra committee earlier – has urged all Britons to leave the crisis-torn country “now”. Two British warships are already in the...

It was just after 6.30am when the first shots were fired. A wave of Hamas fighters arrived at kibbutz Kfar Aza on foot and in the air, breaking through the Gaza border fence and flying over on hang gliders.
