Israeli troops are expanding their air and ground operation in the Gaza Strip.  Hamas has released a video which appears to show three Israeli hostages. One of them is fiercely critical of Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and demands to be released immediately.  Our correspondent in Jerusalem has the latest developments, and we also hear from people in Gaza we stay in regular contact with. 

We explain what happened in Dagestan where crowds shouting anti-semitic slogans and waving Palestinian flags stormed an airport on Sunday. 

We hear from a Jewish-Palestinian couple about how the recents events have affected their relationship. 

A BBC investigation has found that some school teachers in Kenya still beat their students. Such punishment was banned over twenty years ago. We speak to our reporter who has been investigating and hear experiences of corporal punishment around the world.

World football's governing body, Fifa, has banned Spain's former football boss Luis Rubiales from the game for three years. Our sports reporter has the details.
