'The children ask me, Santa, are you coming, despite the war?'

In this episode of Battle Lines, Middle East Correspondent
Nataliya Vasilyeva joins us from Israel to give us this week's
update on the fighting, the diplomacy, and the unprecedented
events in the Red Sea as Houthi rebels target international
shipping. 


Then we stay with Nataliya for a special dispatch from Jerusalem,
as she interviews the only licensed Santa in the city, ahead of a
Christmas full of worry for the region's Christian population.
