Israeli strikes hit Lebanon and Gaza

The UN high commissioner for refugees has warned of violations of international humanitarian law in the ongoing war in Lebanon.

Israel is on a state of high alert ahead of the first anniversary of the Hamas attacks that claimed more than twelve hundred lives. People have been remembering the dead and visiting the scenes of the massacres. Despite the security precautions, a female Israeli border police officer was killed in the town of Beersheba in what police said was a terrorist attack by a gunman.

Also in the programme: Haiti seeks more international protection from the gang violence which holds sway in parts of the country; and the Russian opposition activist, Ildar Dadin, has been killed, fighting for Ukraine - against his home country.
