US says Israel and Hezbollah agree ceasefire

Weekend

Available for 29 days

A number of people have reportedly been killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes over southern Lebanon, a day after a ceasefire between Isarel and the Iranian-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah was announced. Also in the programme: what the UK can learn from Australia's under-16 social media ban; and we speak to British musician Renell Shaw on paying homage to Black British life in his new jazz trilogy and why the Windrush generation deserves new narratives. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, founder and director of ICAN, a women’s rights and peace‑building organisation based in Washington DC; and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times.
