Beirut has suffered one of the heaviest waves of Israeli bombing so far in the hostilities with Hezbollah. More than thirty airstrikes hit the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, with Israel issuing a new call for residents to evacuate the area.

Also on the programme: We'll hear about Hollywood's struggles, despite the success of streaming; and we remember the night life of London in the 1980s.

Hello, and welcome to Newshour here on the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm Paul Henley, and that was the sound of fresh israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs.
The explosions were loud and huge plumes of flames could be seen against the black night sky.
