BBC World Service - Weekend, UN military observers wounded in blast in Lebanon

UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon expresses concern about extended Israeli shelling

Former Lebanese ambassador, Tracy Chamoun, says her country is "entering a very precarious stage" and that "there is a will to war on the part of the Israelis, but there is no will to war on the part of the Lebanese".

Also in the programme: Drag culture in the Philippines; and why are more elite sports-people turning to veganism?

Joining presenter Paul Henley are Chitra Nagarajan, a writer and human rights activist specialising in Nigeria and West Africa; and David Keen, a writer, political economist and professor of conflict studies at the London School of Economics.
