Israel and India
Tim Whewell examines what Israeli civilians think about Gaza and Hamas, while Simon Atkinson talks to the head of the new Kabbadi league who is trying to re-brand the sport.
Owen Bennett Jones introduces colour, analysis and comment from around the world. After the recent death of an agricultural worker from Thailand in southern Israel, Tim Whewell examines what Israeli civilians think about Gaza and Hamas. And Simon Atkinson looks at the changing fortunes of Kabaddi - a traditional Indian form of wrestling. Can it ever be as popular as cricket? With a new corporate re-launch, some investors are hoping so.
