Israeli forces strike Beirut
Israeli military said it carried out a "targeted strike" on the Lebanese capital Beirut.
The Israeli military says it's killed the head of an elite Hezbollah unit in an airstrike on southern Beirut. Dozens more were killed or wounded in the attack on a high-rise apartment block. We speak to our correspondent in Beirut.
We also bring together two emergency doctors in Beirut who share what it has been like to treat so many people. About 3,200 people were injured, most of them in Tuesday's attack which saw thousands of pagers detonated. Wednesday's attack, which detonated two-way radio devices, wounded about 450 people but was responsible for 25 deaths.
We explain the achievement of Shohei Ohtani who has created history by becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season.
Jon Bon Jovi made headlines around the world and was praised for helping a distressed woman on the ledge of a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee. We bring together a man in South Africa with a similar experience and a mental health professional in India.
