Several buildings are destroyed by a series of huge explosions in a densely-populated area in Lebanon's capital; Iran describes the attack as ‘a game changing escalation’. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to keep fighting Hezbollah, telling world leaders at the UN General Assembly 'We are winning'. Also in the programme: we hear from Haiti where armed gangs are targeting journalists; and Sir Michael Palin pays tribute to actress Dame Maggie Smith, who has died at the age of 89.
