Israeli airstrikes target southern Beirut

Palestinian reports suggest Saeed Atallah, a leader of Hamas's armed wing, was killed.

Palestinian reports suggest Saeed Atallah, a leader of Hamas' armed wing, was killed in an Israeli strike on an apartment building in the northern port of Tripoli. Hezbollah has said it is continuing to engage in clashes with Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.

Also on the programme: we bring together an Israeli and a Palestinian who've become friends over their shared desire for peace in the region; and the deaf DJs using β€˜vibration vests’ in their raves.

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.
