Air strikes in Gaza: "Everyone is terrified"

Israeli air strikes are continuing, including one at a Gaza refugee camp

Violent clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians have spread across much of the occupied West Bank, after days of hostility in Gaza. We hear from Gaza poet Mosab Abu Toha.

Also today: Nigeria's kidnapping business; and a growing number of US stars consider a run for political office. Joining Weekend to discuss these and other issues are academic Joana Cook, who studies terrorism and Joe Parkinson, Africa bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal.
