BBC World Service - Newshour, Netanyahu confirms troops in Gaza

Civilians in Gaza remain cut off from the outside world because communications are down

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel's ground operation in Gaza marks the "second stage" of what he says will be a "long and difficult" war with Hamas. Meanwhile, civilians in Gaza remain cut off from the outside world, because phone lines and the internet are down for most people. 

Also in the programme: We hear about the Iranian teenager who's died after an encounter with the country's so-called morality police; and why Taiwan takes extra pride in pro-gay rights events that clearly mark the island out from China.
