BBC World Service - Weekend, Dozens of rockets fired from Gaza towards Israel

Reports of explosions near Tel Aviv and areas surrounding southern Gaza

Reports of explosions near Tel Aviv and areas surrounding southern Gaza.

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip have launched dozens of rockets towards Israel, setting off air raid sirens across the country. There have been reports of explosions near Tel Aviv and the areas surrounding southern Gaza. One person is reported to have died. 

Also in the programme: the lead singer of Australian band Midnight Oil tells us why he's supporting a change in the country's constitution; and we delve into a treasure trove of recordings from what would have been India's first electronic music studio.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are the American journalist Charlotte Kilpatrick and Oliver McTernan who is co-founder of Forward Thinking, an organisation which focusses on conflict resolution in the Middle East and North Africa.
