Israel trying to regain full control of territory after attack

Gun battles between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants are continuing in southern Israel, as Israel carries out operations to rescue hostages taken during Saturday's coordinated attack by Hamas. Several Palestinian fighters are reported to have been killed. Nearly fifty hostages have been freed.

Also in the programme: we speak to the Ugandan opposition leader, Bobi Wine, who says he's now under house arrest after returning from South Africa.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Jane Kinninmont, who is director of policy and impact at the European Leadership Network, and Alan Posener, a columnist from the German newspaper die Welt.
