Britain, France and Canada have announced sweeping sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The British Foreign Secretary accused Israeli settlers of "ethnic cleansing" against the Palestinians living there. Israel responded by ordering the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem. The U.S. has yet to push back against the sanctions. The U.N. says settler violence has reached unprecedented levels and this summer, dozens of prominent figures in Israel signed a letter demanding action to 'eradicate Jewish terrorism' in the West Bank. Among them was former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. He joins the program from Tel Aviv.

25 years ago this week, America and the world changed forever. The 9/11 attacks shocked people everywhere, and prompted an outpouring of global sympathy, with NATO for the first and only time in its history invoking Article 5, that an attack on one is an attack on all. Today, America's standing appears very different. Nicholas Burns has held many senior positions within the US government, most recently as US Ambassador to China. On September 11 2001, he was America's Ambassador to NATO when Article 5 was first invoked.

EU President Ursula von der Leyen called images from the funeral "shocking," and EU Enlargement Chief Marta Kos canceled a planned visit to Serbia in protest. Kos joins the show from Brussels.
