Has a new phase in Middle East war begun?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Another day of explosions in Lebanon. At least 20 people have died - after walkie talkies blow up - and as Israel says it's opening a new phase in the war. We're live in Beirut - and ask whether the attacks on Hezbollah could be a breach of international law. Also tonight: We report from the US state of Oregon - where drugs like fentanyl are being re-criminalised....just four years after they were de-criminalised. And we speak to a British soldier whose DNA helped identify a relative who died at the World War Two Battle of Arnhem - and who was given a full military burial there today.
