Outside Source

Available for 29 days

US President Donald Trump says Israeli and Lebanese leaders have agreed a 10-day ceasefire beginning within hours. We have the latest from our correspondents in Beirut and Jerusalem, and we get reaction from the Lebanese. Migrants in the UK are falsely claiming to be victims of domestic abuse in order to stay in the country, a BBC investigation has discovered. We get details from our reporter. We also speak to actors about the difficulties of landing roles, after a viral video by an Australian actress detailed how she narrowly missed out on a recent audition.
