Israel strikes school compound in Gaza

Israel is facing international condemnation over an airstrike on a school compound in Gaza that's reported to have killed dozens of displaced Palestinians. Also on the programme: as the Paris Olympics comes to an end, we speak to a first-time medallist; and, it's three years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Chandrika Kaul, professor of modern history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland specialising in India, and British imperial history and popular culture, and Samuel Ramani, Associate Fellow at the defence and security think tank the Royal United Services Institute.
