After more clashes on the Thai-Cambodian border, we ask a Cambodian official whether the dispute will escalate. Also in the programme: four months ahead of the elections in Hungary, why has child protection become such a key issue? And as Israel plans to build a new road and barrier in the occupied West Bank, we hear from the head of the UN’s Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

  • Hello, and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service, coming live from London.

  • This is Owen Bennett Jones, and coming up, but first,

  • there have been further hostilities along Thailand and Cambodia's disputed border.

  • Just hours after President Trump said the two countries had agreed to stop fighting,

  • the border dispute there has existed for decades, and there were clashes in July this year as well.

  • which led to a ceasefire in October, but this latest round of fighting just started on Monday.

  • And the violence has forced hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the border to flee their homes.

  • Thai farmers Jurisana Nutai are two of them.

  • I want the fighting to stop.

  • Cambodia should halt its military movement and sign a new agreement,

  • one that guarantees no more invasions or attacks on the Thai side.

  • and that they will finally clear all unexploded ordnance along the border.

  • At first the shelling stopped after a short time,

  • but we still had to stay at the shelter for about 15 days

  • because there were unexploded bombs that had to be cleared.

  • Now the firing is happening every day and people are wondering,

  • will we have to stay like this for months, even years?

  • It's really disheartening.

  • So those two are in Thailand, across the border in Cambodia,

  • 62-year-old Maki is living in a makeshift tent after being forced from her home.
