Israel carries out multiple airstrikes in Lebanon

Israel has carried out multiple airstrikes in Lebanon. Lebanon says at least 21 people were killed in a rare Israeli strike in the north. It's now been two weeks since Israel launched its invasion of Lebanon. More than a quarter of Lebanon is now under Israeli evacuation orders, according to the UN refugee agency. We hear from people living there and get the latest from our correspondent in Beirut.

The BBC's Africa correspondent Mercy Juma reflects on her time in the job as she prepares to move on to a new chapter in her career. Most recently she's been at the forefront of our coverage of the ongoing Sudan conflict, and travelled to eastern Chad several times, to speak to people displaced by the war.

We speak to the people behind a new BBC documentary called 'Life and Death in Gaza', which follows the stories of four people in Gaza over the past year of war.

And we get the latest from our reporter in Delhi where the government has imposed a complete ban on the manufacturing, sale, storage and use of all types of firecrackers in the capital until the new year. The measure which was issued by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee is aimed at combating the worsening air quality in the capital.
