How the war in Lebanon is affecting a Christian Maronite community and their Shia neighbours in the town of Al-Qlayaa, near the border with Israel. We hear from the town’s mayor and parish priest. Also in the programme: a US airman who was missing in Iran has been rescued; and one historian’s view on a new world order, ushered in by President Trump and the war in Iran.
