The Instagrammer who wants to show a different side of Gaza – BBC News
A Palestinian Instagrammer in the Gaza Strip wants to show us a different side of life there.
Gaza has seen three major wars between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that controls the strip. Gaza’s economy has also been badly hit by a blockade by Israel and Egypt – needed, they say – for security reasons.
Kholoud Nassar says there is a face for death in Gaza, but a thousand faces for life.

Inside the secret factories making Britain’s fake cigarettes – Behind The Investigation | BBC News
One in every six cigarettes smoked in the UK is counterfeit.
In this episode of BBC News Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith talks to File on 4 Investigates reporter Jane Deith about how the team uncovered the global criminal networks flooding Britain with fake cigarettes, and the human cost behind every cheap pack.
Jane explains how the team traced the supply chain from secret factories in Belgium to corner shops, minimarts and cash and carries across the UK.
We also look at why gangs are moving from drugs to fake cigarettes. A former senior Europol official says they now make as much money as they do from drugs, with far lower prison sentences if they’re caught. The profits are being used to fund weapons, people smuggling and even terrorism.
Do people really know what they’re funding when they buy cheap cigarettes?

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.
Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.
The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.
The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

As an Israeli (who does NOT support the government), I love seeing this different side of the other side of the coin.
It's such a shame that extremists and weapon/industry/media giants keep pumping hate and fueling the fire.
I pray that we will have peace with our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

Middle eastern people are stereotyped as troublemakers but actualy they are nice people. It is always the religion that makes them radical and violent. So are the jews , i think without those religions it would be a peaceful coexistence of people with different races. Jews would not think they are superior and would respect the palestinians. There is definitely a God but not those taught thousand years ago. I have a syrian and persian friend they are intelligent and realy good people , they are born here in my country and are not radicalized by religion. I believe iraqis,arabs, kurds, libyans and the rest of our middle eastern brothers are the same altruistic people if not for their beliefs. I hope one day the war would stop.

0:58 Star Of David on a door in the old city of Gaza, more and more proofs of a Jewish settlements in their ancient homeland, remind you that in the Arab conquests the Jews were ethnically cleansed, and Gaza now is part of the Palestinian Authority that Jews are forbidden to be a part of, so 0 Jews in the Gaza strip.

Yeah, Gaza Hell is a war zone controlled by the terrorist group called Hamas and another dozen armed terrorist groups that also call this place home. They are the number one reason for the complete blockade by its neighbors. She couldn't take to many scenes without avoiding ugly scars of their on going struggle to resist peace….
