About this episode
The episode discusses Israel's ongoing attacks in Lebanon, the Ebola situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the implications of Jannik Sinner's exit from Roland-Garros.
Israel is continuing its attacks on what it says are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, even as reports emerge from Washington that an extension of the wider ceasefire with Iran is close. We hear from our correspondent in Beirut. Also on the programme: the World Health Organisation has told Newshour it is“fairly confident” it will soon be “on top” of the spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we hear from someone living at the centre of the outbreak; and shock in Paris, what does the exit of No.1 seed Jannik Sinner mean for this year’s Roland-Garros?(Photo: People inspect at the site of an Israeli strike in Tyre, Lebanon, May 28, 2026.
