Fighting resumes in Gaza as truce expires

The Israeli military says it’s striking targets across the whole of the Gaza Strip after the collapse of a week-long truce.

Also on the programme: Shane MacGowan’s widow, Victoria Mary Clarke, tells the BBC about the Pogues frontman; and why Afghanistan's former education minister wants to engage in dialogue with the Taliban over girls' education.

Joining Luke Jones in the studio to discuss all this and more are Rachel Harris, professor of ethnomusicology at SOAS, London University, and Adela Suliman, reporter for the Washington Post newspaper in London.
