BBC World Service - Weekend, Phone and internet lines return in Gaza

Israel starts the second stage of its war on Hamas

Israel starts the second stage of its war on Hamas.

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: South Africa have made history at the rugby World Cup final in Paris after beating New Zealand; and we look ahead to a global summit on safety in Artificial Intelligence. 
 
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.
