Israel may have fired directly on UN, organisation says

The head of UN peacekeeping operations has said there's reason to believe that some Israeli firing on UN positions in southern Lebanon has been direct, after two incidents in which UN personnel were wounded. Jean-Pierre LaCroix told the BBC the UNIFIL force was determined to remain in place.

Also in the programme: US imposes fresh sanctions on Iran; and excerpts from Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s memoir are released.

Joining presenter Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Nataliya Vasilyeva, a Russian journalist, formerly Moscow, Istanbul and Jerusalem correspondent for the Daily Telegraph newspaper and Mark Kersten, Assistant Professor of human rights, law and international justice at the University of the Fraser Valley, in Canada.
