Is Israel justified in its attacks on Gaza?, Government to spy on e-mails, and 2009 will be a kinder, more aimiable year.

Weekly News Review from a Christian Viewpoint. Patrick Woodward talks to Catherine Butcher, editor of the Mothers’ Union “Families First” magazine (pictured) about the latest news from a Christian standpoint.  Today, we ask is Israel justified in attacking Gaza? Is the media biased in its reporting, and can the international community do anything to help?  Also, Government plans to keep details of our e-mails for a year spells trouble for hard-pressed civil servants, and Times columnists hope for better things in 2009.
