We talk about the fears of regional war in the Middle East

We talk about the fears of regional war in the Middle East.

Thousands of people carrying Palestinian flags have been attending the funeral of the Hamas deputy leader, Saleh al-Arouri, in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. We speak to our correspondent there. 

Our colleagues with BBC Persian explain how they have been covering the story about the two explosions in Iran and what has been the reaction in the country, amid fears of regional war. 

We get reaction from Britney Spears fans to the pop star’s announcement that she will never return to the music industry. 

We continue to look at the impact of the four years of Covid; today three people share how the pandemic changed their lives for the better. 

Presenter: Luke Jones.
