The UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, known as UNIFIL is demanding explanations from Israel after two tanks drove through the gates of one of their compounds in southern Lebanon earlier today. We hear from UNIFIL's spokesperson Andrea Tenenti.
Also on the programme: a moment of history in marathon running today. Kenyan runner Ruth Chepngetich is the first woman to run a marathon in under two hours and ten minutes; and new research on the remains of Christopher Columbus suggests he was a Sephardic Jew from Spain.
