Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in central London.
I'm Tim Franks.
We're beginning with a story which is remarkable,
potentially very significant and, I'm afraid, a bit convoluted.
That's our job, to straighten the twists and undo the knots.
The top line today is this,
that the former top lawyer in the Israeli military has been ordered to remain in custody until Wednesday
as she faces potential charges over leaking a video which allegedly shows the severe abuse of a Palestinian detainee by Israeli military prison guards.
There's no question that Major General Yifat Tomeir Yerushami did leak the video.
She admitted as much in her resignation last week.
But why she did so?
What the video seems to show the political reaction inside Israel,
the claims and counterclaims about how the Israeli military behaves and how it investigates itself?
Well, all these are causing very deep ructions.
Let's begin then with trying to straighten the story out.
And to do so,
we'll go back to where it begins in the middle of last year with our correspondent in Jerusalem,
Sebastian Usher.
There had been reports that a Palestinian detainee had been severely abused.
