At least thirty Palestinians killed by latest Israeli strikes

Hamas officials say at least thirty Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes on Jabaliya in northern Gaza. It is feared more people are trapped beneath the rubble of destroyed buildings.

Also in the programme: average human life expectancy declines, and a group of Israeli and Palestinian directors create a documentary together about what’s happening in the territory.

Joining presenter Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Nataliya Vasilyeva, a Russian journalist, formerly Moscow, Istanbul and Jerusalem correspondent for the Daily Telegraph newspaper and Mark Kersten, assistant professor of human rights, law and international justice at the University of the Fraser Valley, in Canada.
