Israel says retaliation against Hamas has only just begun

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of a "terrible" response to the killing of at least nine hundred people by Hamas. He compared the group to Isis and called on parliamentary opposition to form a broad collation government in order to react to the attacks.

Also on the programme, this year's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences has been awarded to the American economic historian Claudia Goldin for her pioneering research on how women have affected labour markets, and the key drivers behind the gender pay gap
