Doctors treating wounded Lebanese

Israeli warplanes have hit an apartment building in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. There have been numerous deaths and injuries including reportedly a Hezbollah military commander. We have the latest on the air strikes.

We also bring together two emergency doctors in Beirut who share what it has been like to treat so many people. About 3,200 people were injured, most of them in Tuesday's attack which saw thousands of pagers detonated. Wednesday's attack, which detonated two-way radio devices, wounded about 450 people but was responsible for 25 deaths.

After a BBC documentary uncovered evidence of sexual abuse against the former Harrods owner, Mohamed Al-Fayed, more women have been telling the BBC they were sexually assaulted. We have an update on today’s press conference.

We speak to BBC Russian about their investigation into the deaths of Russian soldiers in Ukraine; the data shows 70,000 people in the military have now lost their lives.

Jon Bon Jovi made headlines around the world and was praised for helping a distressed woman, who was on the ledge of a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee. We bring together a man in South Africa with a similar experience and a mental health professional in India.
