Some 50,000 people have fled the Lebanese city of Baalbek as Israel launches a series of strikes against Hezbollah.

More than 20 strikes were reported in the Baalbek area, local people told the BBC - with five inside the city itself, where there is a Unesco-listed ancient Roman temple complex. We'll hear from a local MP on the situation.

Also in the programme: To mark 50 years since boxing's Rumble in the Jungle, George Foreman joins us on Newshour to celebrate a half-century since he took on Muhammad Ali.
