Israel and Hezbollah exchange strikes in a major escalation
The Israeli military says it has launched a wave of pre-emptive strikes against Hezbollah targets across Lebanon to thwart a large-scale attack, as Hezbollah said it had still fired more than 300 missiles towards Israel in what it described as the first phase of its response to the assassination of one of its commanders last month.
Also on the programme: Germany sees calls for restrictions on the right of asylum following the murder of three people at a festival in the town of Solingen; and the founder of the Telegram app has been detained in France.
