Does Lebanon ceasefire bring wider Middle East peace closer?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US envoy who brokered the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah tells us it opens the door for a broader peace in the Middle East. Also on the programme: Lord Cameron has become the first former prime minister to publicly back the bill that legalises assisted dying for terminally ill people with less than six months to live. We ask how sure doctors can be about when someone is likely to die. A bendy banana in the Oval Office? The crypto entrepreneur who paid almost £5 million for an artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall tells us why Donald Trump would like it.
