BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel moves into "second stage" of war

Phone and internet lines are slowly being restored to Gaza

Phone and internet lines are slowly being restored to Gaza.

Phone and internet access is slowly returning into Gaza after a complete blackout for over a day. It comes as Israel intensified its bombardment of the territory and began a large ground operation involving tanks and troops. On Saturday, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his priorities in Gaza were to destroy Hamas and bring the hostages home.

Also in the programme: people are looting in the Mexican city of Acapulco following Hurricane Otis; and we speak to Taiwan’s first Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang. 
 
Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Nemo Kim, a South Korean journalist, art critic and writer based in Seoul, and Dermot Hudson who is a professor at Loughborough University and expert in European politics and digital technologies.
