Second hour: Investigative reports: Bob Nichols from Bristol against the Arms Trade discusses militarism and arms firms in the city ahead of Sundays walk around Bristols arms firms which starts at 11am. Drones: A £1m military drone flew over a packed primary school sports day - then there was a crash: The Watchkeeper drone crash was the fifth to hit the troubled development project - and it has led alarmed villagers in Penparc, West Wales, to demand the MoD change the flight paths of the unmanned aircraft. The Ministry of Defence wasted £33m on botched attempts to semi-privatise the £14bn budget agency that buys military equipment, according to report being published by the National Audit Office today. The Government had wanted to bring in a consortium of private sector experts to run the Bristol-based Defence Equipment & Support, but abandoned the reforms in late 2013 as only one group, led by the US engineer Bechtel, was interested in bidding. Margaret Hodge, who chairs Parliamentâs powerful Public Accounts Committee, today criticises the MoD for "throwing away" taxpayersâ money on the much-criticised plan.  What I learned from visiting 15 Israeli settlements, by Johnny Harris: The result has been a consistent growth in the settlement population, which is now estimatedat 400,000. All of this means that any negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians must now take into account this growing number of settlers, as their communities weave through any future Palestinian state. And as such negotiations languish in a standstill, the settlements continue to grow, making any hope for peace dimmer with every new neighborhood built. Spot the contradiction: Zionisms Jews that dont believe in God - Gilad Atzmon: The only true Jews may be Palestinians! Theodore Herzl was open to many ideas for a Jewish homeland, the first Zionist congress, he was told it must be Palestine and when he pointed out that they werent religious he was told we are not religious but this is what our identity is all about. Israels role in creating and promoting antisemitism.
