How did General Asim Munir emerge as both the Trump and Iran whisperer? Yalda explains to Richard how this came about and why India may feel sidelined. Richard also tells Yalda about the fear of Israeli extremists felt by some members of Jerusalem's Christian community. He has spoken to religious leaders following the attack by a 36-year-old man on a nun. A man has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault but not charged. The Israeli Foreign Ministry says: \"This shameful act stands in direct contradiction to the values of respect, coexistence, and religious freedom upon which Israel is founded and to which it remains deeply committed\".
