BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel’s military operation in Gaza continues

Palestinian telecommunications company says phone and internet service slowly returning

Palestinian telecommunications company says phone and internet service slowly returning.

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: we discuss media culture after the release of Britney Spears’ autobiography; and we delve into the experiment where participants face their worst fears.
 
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.
