United Nations discuss Lebanon

Thousands of people have fled southern Lebanon. They've been seeking shelter from Israeli air strikes as the country seeks to remove the threat of Hezbollah.

We'll hear from some of those who have decided to leave their family homes.

Meanwhile the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has warned world leaders that Lebanon is on the "brink" and the world could not afford Lebanon "to become another Gaza". He's been addressing the opening session of the General Assembly in New York.

And in the Democratic Republic of Congo authorities have freed over a thousand inmates from the country's largest prison to ease overcrowding.
