This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Paul Moss and in the early hours of Saturday the 11th of May,

these are our main stories.

The United Nations has voted to enhance Palestine's membership rights.

Russia has launched a cross-border attack near the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

And two British climate protesters in their 80s have been arrested

after smashing the glass case containing a historic legal document.

Also in this podcast, it's taken almost three months, longer than I thought because my audience is not normal. My audience is tax nerds and lawyers, the kind of weirdos who do actually read the small print.

by someone who bothered to read the terms and conditions.

the United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to grant Palestine enhanced rights

within the organization, and it's called for it to be

accepted as a full member and this comes amid reports that several more European

countries plan officially to recognize Palestine as a state.

There was not surprisingly a furious response to the vote from Israel.

Indeed, a rather graphic one.

Its envoy to the UN Gilad-Eard, used a mini shredder to destroy a small copy of the United Nations

Charter.

Today I will hold up a mirror for you so that you can see exactly what you are inflicting upon the UN

Charter with this destructive vote.

You are shredding the UN Charter with your own hands.
