Tensions soar in Beirut

Available for over a year

Under the shadow of conflict is normal life possible in Lebanon? The country has had a major economic crisis for almost a decade, and there is growing fear of escalating conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. We hear from Lebanon's business community on the challenges of working under the shadow of increasing violence. Roger Hearing looks at the ongoing legal dispute between Brazil and the social media platform X. The company, which has more than 22 million users in Brazil, has appointed a new lawyer who has told the BBC that the company has decided to comply with all the court orders. And in Japan, Nintendo and its partner The Pokémon Company have filed a legal case against the maker of the hit adventure game Palworld over alleged patent infringement. Roger is joined by Emily Feng NPR’s international correspondent in Taipei and Alexander Kaufman, senior reporter at HuffPost.
