Newsday

Available for 29 days

Israel has hit Lebanon with more than 120 air ​strikes on Tuesday. It was one of the heaviest days of bombing in weeks. The bombing raids further strained a ceasefire announced on April 16 that was meant to halt fighting between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. We get reaction from the the country. For the first time since the outbreak of hostilities against Iran by the United States and Israel, some ordinary Iranians have been able to get back online to speak to family and friends living outside the country. And we speak to the Nasa space agency on the next steps to build a permanent Moon base. Presenters: James Copnal and Anne Soy. (Photo: Smoke billows following an Israeli strike in Kfar Joz, Lebanon.
