Israel denies accusations it is deliberately targeting UN buildings

Israel's attacks on Lebanon have been continuing overnight. At least fifteen people were killed by Israeli airstrikes on different parts of the country.

Joining presenter Paul Henley to discuss all this and more, Roxane Farman-Farmaian, a professor of international politics and specialist on the Middle East at the University of Cambridge, and Seyi Rhodes, a journalist based in London.
