Israel hits the Lebanese capital as its troops reportedly fire at UN peacekeepers in the south of the country. We speak to a witness to the strikes in Beirut and a representative of UNWRA, the UN's organisation for Palestinian refugees. Also in the programme: we hear from one of the men accused of raping Giselle Pelicot in the rape case that has shocked France; and a new report on the world's plummeting wildlife populations.
