Guterres condemns Israeli attacks on UN peacekeeper positions in Lebanon

The UN Secretary General condemned Israel's firing on peacekeepers' positions in southern Lebanon. More explosions close to an observation tower today are being investigated.

The UN Secretary General Ant贸nio Guterres has condemned Israel's firing on positions held by UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon. Two more are reported to have been injured today, although the cause has not yet been established.

Also in the programme: the Nobel Peace Prize goes to an anti-nuclear group of survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki - we hear from one of them; and after partial remains of a British mountaineer who may or may not have scaled Everest in 1924 are found, we talk to his great-niece.
