Al-Arouri’s assassination on Tuesday raised fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East

Saleh al-Arouri’s assassination on Tuesday raised fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.

The funeral of the Hamas deputy leader, Saleh al-Arouri, is taking place in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. His assassination in a drone strike on Tuesday raises fears that Israel's war with Hamas could spiral into a wider regional conflict.

Also on the programme: Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton named in court files of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. And a drug that can defeat some antibiotic resistant bacteria.
