Lebanon's prime minister has said continuing Israeli attacks could displace as many as a million people. Najib Mikati appealed for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. He was speaking as Israel carried out more airstrikes in Lebanon after killing Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday. We hear from the IDF spokesman, Peter Lerner, and Nasser Yassin, Lebanon's Minister of Environment and has been given responsibility for providing for all those internally displaced people. We will also be asking to Iranian academic and write, Azadeh Moaveni, about how Nasrallah's death could affect Hezbollah's standing in Lebanon and the rest of the region. Also in the programme: Saudi Arabia has carried out nearly two hundred executions this year - the highest in more than three decades; and ahead of the VICE presidential debate in the US - we'll be in Nebraska - what are the big election issues in rural America? Presenter: Julian Marshall. (Photo: Residents in Beirut seek refuge on the streets after Israeli air strikes in the city. Credit: EPA)
