Israel marks first anniversary of Hamas attacks

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Israel has been mourning the mass killings and abductions by Hamas exactly a year ago, the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon has been escalating. We hear from an Israeli who survived the assault and from a Palestinian who's spent the last year in Gaza and get the latest on the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. We also discuss the impact on British Jews with Booker Prize winning novelist Howard Jacobson. Plus, we hear an urgent call for the government to improve care for people with ME - or chronic fatigue syndrome - and we speak to one of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
