New Israeli strikes in Lebanon after Iranian warning
About this episode
The episode covers Israeli military strikes in Lebanon, Taliban actions in Afghanistan, reforms in Honduras, earthquake rescue efforts in the Philippines, and a BBC investigation into Iraqi migrants in Libya.
The Israeli military has carried out strikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, a day after Iran called for attacks on Lebanon to stop. Thousands of people have fled the city. Also: medical sources say Taliban forces in western Afghanistan have killed two people demonstrating against the detention of women who'd ignored religious dress codes; Honduras approves a series of reforms to tackle the high rate of femicide in the country; rescuers in the Philippines are working to reach isolated areas after an earthquake struck Mindanao; a BBC investigation reveals hundreds of Iraqi migrants were kidnapped and threatened with forced organ removal in Libya; and Japanese wildlife officials have caught a bear that had been roaming a city, causing widespread school closures.
