More explosions heard in the Hezbollah-dominated suburbs of Beirut

Overnight, the IDF told people in various parts of Dahieh - Hezbollah's stronghold in the city - to move at least 500 metres away.

Also on the programme: we hear from the Haiti director of the Mercy Corps aid agency about the country's humanitarian crisis; and we reflect on the craft of the late British actor Maggie Smith.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Vicky van Eyck, executive director of Positive Money, and Oliver McTernan, Co-Founder and Director of Forward Thinking.
