Summary
The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a direct appeal to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to remove UN peacekeepers from areas in south Lebanon where Israeli forces are fighting Hezbollah. Our reporter is with Israeli troops as they enter a Hezbollah-controlled village in southern Lebanon. We also hear from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Also on the programme: We revisit the 1920s jazz-scene in Berlin, before the Nazis; and we hear from the US campaign trail in Las Vegas.
