Middle East crisis: Israel bombing Beirut

World Business Report

Available for 28 days

Israel bombards Beirut and Tehran and many people are being displaced. We hear from the restaurant owner keeping the ddors open for her customers despite the explosions. Also, Ed Butler finds out why hundreds of trafficked workers were released from scam centres in Cambodia, only to end up wandering the streets of the capital without a way back home. And we dig into the growing numbers of young Roblox millionaires.
