The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel says it has lost eight IDF soldiers in fighting in southern Lebanon, as it continues its operation against Hezbollah. Meanwhile Beirut suffered further Israeli air strikes. Netanyahu's government is also considering how to respond to Iran's massive missile attack yesterday. The four MPs vying to become leader of the Conservative Party delivered keynote speeches on the final day of the party conference. And after the south-eastern US was battered by Hurricane Helene, we spoke to a man who braved a seven hour drive and five hour walk through storm-ravaged areas to reach his daughter's wedding.
