Lebanon in shock after coordinated attacks
Iran has condemned Israel for Tuesday's synchronised explosions of Hezbollah pagers in Lebanon, calling it 'mass murder'. The Iranian ambassador to Beirut was among nearly three thousand people injured; twelve people died. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, denied that Washington had any prior knowledge of the attack. We speak to Dr Salah Zeineddine, Chief Medical Officer at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, where some of the injured were taken.Also in the programme: Climate change is turbo-charging Somalia’s problems - but there's still hope; and Still reeling from crisis, Sri Lanka holds pivotal election. And we will hear from the US state of Oregon and the debate around decriminalizing hard drugs such as fentanyl.(Photo: Relatives of those injured by the pager blasts gathered at hospitals in Beirut and elsewhere.
