Israel strikes more targets in Lebanon

The Israeli army has ordered residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate.

The Israeli army has ordered residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate. We speak to a journalist living in Beirut and a former spokesperson for the Israeli Defence Forces.

Also on the programme: as the UK and Mauritius agree on the future of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean; we hear from a leading lawyer involved in the negotiations; and the legacy of Ronald Reagan - how much does his brand of politics influence the Republican party of today?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Vicky van Eyck, executive director of Positive Money, and Oliver McTernan, Co-Founder and Director of Forward Thinking.
