Dozens killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon

Israeli strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon as action stepped up against Hezbollah.

Dozens of people have been killed in an intensive wave of Israel strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to step up military action against Hezbollah. We have a report from the Bekaa Valley village of Mashghara.

Iran says the US has committed a "gross violation" of the ceasefire with new air strikes it launched on the country on Monday, with its Revolutionary Guard saying they have the right to retaliate against violations of the truce. Iran and the US have been negotiating a potential agreement to cease hostilities.

And we discuss the future of Sudan and the ongoing war there with one of the female leaders of the 2019 revolution that led to the end of former President Omar al Bashir鈥檚 30 year rule.
