BBC World Service - Newshour, Fears of escalation in Middle East war

As a Hamas leader is mourned in Beirut, we look at the risks of a wider conflict.

As Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri is mourned following his assassination in Beirut, what are the risks of a wider regional conflict? We hear from analyst Paul Salem.

Also in the programme: a high tide of youth unemployment in China; new research sheds light on the physical changes that occur in Long Covid patients; and controversy over a new method of execution in the US state of Alabama.
