Smoke still rising after Beirut blast

Newsday

Available for over a year

We'll go live to the Lebanese capital to speak to someone who lived through the civil war there - but says she's never seen anything like this. The Indian prime minister prepares to take a step that will underline - perhaps even heighten - religious tensions there. And 75 years on from the first explosion of the atom bomb in Hiroshima, survivors say the lessons of that key moment in history are being forgotten.
