Lebanon reports fresh Israeli strikes

Weekend

Available for 29 days

Reports from southern Lebanon say at least five people have been killed in a wave of fresh Israeli airstrikes despite a ceasefire. We speak to a doctor in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. Also in the programme: We discuss the enduring appeal of The Smiths’ album "The Queen Is Dead" forty years after it was released; and why access to beaches in Jamaica is becoming a matter of public debate. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, founder and director of ICAN, a women’s rights and peace‑building organisation based in Washington DC; and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times.
