BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel warns Gaza residents to leave ahead of retaliatory strikes

The Israeli army says fighting with Palestinian militants continues inside its territory

The Israeli army says fighting with Palestinian militants continues inside its territory.

Residents across Gaza are bracing themselves after the Israeli army warned of more airstrikes to destroy Hamas targets, in retaliation for Saturday's major attack by the militant organisation. Sirens have again sounded in parts of southern Israel, as more rockets were fired from Gaza overnight. The Israeli army says fighting is still ongoing in several places inside Israeli territory.

Also in the programme: the main candidates in Argentina's presidential  meet for a second campaign debate; and research has found that a majority of countries fail to make any mention of people with disabilities in their official climate targets.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Jane Kinninmont, who is director of policy and impact at the European Leadership Network, and Alan Posener, a columnist from the German newspaper die Welt.
