Chinese espionage in the West: how deep does it cut?
•
In the last few days Germany and the UK have arrested a number of people working within their political spheres who, they believe, were passing on secrets to China. We look at the impact it could have on the West, how far China might go and exactly what the motive is behind the alleged activity.
Also today Israel has yet to provide evidence to the independent investigation into its claim that UN refugee agency workers in Gaza took part in the October 7th terror attacks. Why not? And what damage could it do to the country's already-fragile standing in the international arena.
And the Mona Lisa. Is it really the most disappointing masterpiece in the world?
