Newsday

Available for 29 days

Israel has renewed its offensive in southern Lebanon with 31 people killed by air strikes, according to authorities in Beirut. Israel says it is targetting the Iranian backed militia Hezbollah, which has launched missiles and drones into its territory. For the first time since the outbreak of hostilities against Iran by the United States and Israel, some ordinary Iranians have been able to get back online to speak to family and friends living outside the country. And we speak to the Nasa space agency on the next steps to build a permanent Moon base. Presenters: James Copnal and Anne Soy.
