Deadliest day in years for Lebanon

It's the deadliest day of conflict across Israel's northern border since 2006.

Lebanon's health ministry says Israeli airstrikes today are now known to have killed more than 270 people and more than 1,000 have been hurt. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has warned Lebanese civilians to keep away from Hezbollah's positions, insisting Israel鈥檚 fight is not with them. Thousands are fleeing. We speak to our correspondents and hear from people on both sides of the border.

Our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet joins to explain the background into tensions between Israel and Lebanon.

President Zelensky of Ukraine is in the US, where he's due to address world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly. He will later meet Joe Biden, as he tries to persuade western powers to allow the use of their long-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russia. We speak to our colleague with 成人快手 Ukraine.
