  • This is the Guardian.

  • Today, an uneasy truce in Lebanon and a chance to assess the damage from two months of total war.

  • Hello, Grace Dent here with news.

  • I've been cooking up fresh episodes of my podcast Comfort Eating and they are now ready to be devoured, chock full of chat and brimming with autumn cheer.

  • Join me as I talk to the likes of Stanley Tucci, Vanessa Feltz, Richard E.

  • Grant, and Rag and Bowl man about life, love and the grub that has seen them through new episodes every Tuesday.

  • Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Before we start.

  • This episode includes descriptions of violence that some listeners might find upsetting.

  • This week, after more than a year of fighting and an intense two month all out war, tens of thousands of Lebanese people, forced by the fighting to run, finally went home.

  • Going home is the nicest feeling.

  • We're returning with our heads held high.

  • We're returning with dignity.

  • Hezbollah and Israel had reached a ceasefire, a fragile one that's already been breached a few times.

  • Israel's launched two airstrikes in Lebanon in just the past hour, which appears to be a resumption of hostilities.

  • Despite the ceasefire, its military says nearly.

  • 4,000 Lebanese people have been killed in the past year.

  • More than a million have been displaced and the most powerful armed group in the country brought to its knees.

  • When Hezbollah entered the fights with Israel, it said that it would never stop until a ceasefire in Gaza was achieved.

  • On Tuesday, they quietly dropped any idea of achieving a ceasefire in Gaza in return for peace in southern Lebanon.
