BBC World Service - Weekend, UN observers wounded in south Lebanon

UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon expresses concern about extended Israeli shelling

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has expressed concern about extended Israeli shelling into the territory after three observers and their translator were injured.

Also in the programme: An investigation has found that the world's two leading soft drink brands have benefited from a system of sugar production in India that employs workers under conditions akin to forced labour; and the solving of a 120-year old maritime mystery as the SS Nemesis sunk off south Australia has been found.

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.
