Inside Hamas leader's secret Gaza tunnel & North Korea doubles nukes

On today’s episode, we confront the brutal realities of two of
the world’s most controversial flashpoints.


First, our man on the ground, Jerusalem correspondent Henry
Bodkin, joins Israeli troops in Gaza for a rare and eye-opening
embed. He takes us inside the tunnel where Hamas leader Mohammed
Sinwar was allegedly hiding before an Israeli airstrike on May
13th — one that struck the entrance of the European Hospital,
sparking outrage and headlines around the world. We cut through
the noise and get straight to what really happened.


Then, we turn to the pariah state of North Korea. Despite
suffocating sanctions, Pyongyang is now in its strongest
strategic position in decades, doubling its nuclear arsenal and
quietly amassing the world’s fourth largest military. How did
that happen — and why isn't the West doing more about it? Our new
Asia correspondent Allegra Mendelson explains all.
