Israeli police raid al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem

Early on Wednesday, dozens of Israeli police raided al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites in Islam, to clear people who it said were barricaded inside. The incident comes during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and just as Passover begins, stoking fears of more tension in the region. Many Ukrainian Jews will be observing Passover this year. And a traditional Jewish text is being published in Ukrainian for the first time. It's another small way push away from Russian language and culture. Also, more US troops will rotate into the Philippines after Manila identified the location of four new military bases. Beijing is not happy about the the new developments so close to its shores. And, we remember the creator of the popular board game "Catan." Klaus Teuber's game has sold some 32 million copies in 40 different languages.
