On this week's World View podcast Mark Weiss reports from Jerusalem where the appointment of a controversial politician as defence minister marks a shift to the right for Benyamin Netanyahu against a background of increasing tensions between the government and the army. Vienna-based journalist Eric Frey is on the line from Austria, where the narrowest of defeats for Norbert Hofer in the presidential election may only be a bump in the road for far-right Freedom Party of Austria's goal of winning power. And Beijing-based journalist Didi Kirsten Tatlow has been writing about the legacy of Mao's Cultural Revolution, which led to the deaths of millions of Chinese 50 years ago.
