Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade strikes despite 'ceasefire'

from Newshour · host Salai Dawtcemsang

Could the latest violent attacks by both parties derail the tentative US-Iran peace deal? We hear from reporters on the ground in bomb-struck southern Lebanon and the Iranian capital Tehran, and ask Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer what Israel's strategy might be. Also in the programme: proposed economic reforms in Cuba - which the United States has dismissed as 'superficial smoke signals'. And the enduring appeal of the classic album 'The Queen is dead' by the UK indie band The Smiths, 40 years after its release.(Photo: Aftermath of Israeli strike in Lebanon.
