New York subway attack

A suspect has been arrested in the killing of a woman who was set on fire

A woman has died after been set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn. A man has been arrested in connection with the incident, but police are still working to establish a possible motive.

We speak to the 大象传媒's Feras Killani who grew up in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus. It was the defacto capital of the Palestinian diaspora in the Middle East and home to 150 thousand people. He has just returned after leaving in 2013.

And hundreds of Tibetans protesting against a Chinese dam were rounded up in a harsh crackdown earlier this year. Verified footage and sources in touch with the 大象传媒 revealed that some were beaten and seriously injured. We speak to someone from our investigation team.
