Across the divide
It's a dispute that has not only pitted Arabs against Jews, but split Kiwis in the promised land as well.

Jana Hanoun is a 17-year-old Palestinian schoolgirl living in the disputed territory of East Jerusalem. At dawn she was marched from her home at gunpoint so Israeli settlers could move in, take her house and leave her family in the street. Jewish settlers say they are reclaiming their land and the law is on their side. One of their staunchest defenders is Jewish New Zealand settler and spokesman Michael Kuttner. He says Palestinians are flouting the law.

On the other side is a top Kiwi UN official, who argues it's part of a disturbing pattern of evictions and demolitions, by Israeli security forces.

To young Jana, it all adds up to ethnic cleansing. A touching SUNDAY story traverses the Arab Jewish divide.

Terror in Mumbai
It's the untold story of the 2008 terrorist attack in the words of its victims and the perpetrators, the gunmen themselves. We tell the story of what happened when 10 gunmen held one of the world's biggest cities hostage, killing and wounding hundreds of people while holding India's crack security forces at bay.

There's a hospital bed interview with Kasab, the sole surviving gunman, there's telephone tapes of the terrorists and their masterminds.

And amongst this terror, when you least expect it, there are touches of humanity.

SUNDAY - Where there's a story, we'll find it.
