BBC World Service - Weekend, Ten of thousands protest in Tel Aviv

Israeli police in Tel Aviv have forcibly dispersed anti-government protesters

Large demonstrations took place across Israeli towns and cities on Saturday night, six months on from the start of the war in Gaza. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv, calling for the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to resign. Also on the programme, an ally of Slovakia’s populist prime minister has been elected as the country’s new president; and, what myths surround the solar eclipse? 

Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Juliana Olyinka, the London Correspondent for Nigeria's Channels Television and a strategic comms advisor to the Nigerian finance minister, and Sergey Radchenko, a professor at the Kissinger Center, School of Advanced International Studies Johns Hopkins University.
