The United Nations has warned that Lebanon is facing a terrible crisis because of the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The head of the UN refugee agency said hundreds of thousands had been made homeless. Israel has meanwhile continued its airstrikes on the Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut. We speak to Lebanon's Economy Minister, Amin Salam, and Sharone Lifschitz, the daughter of one of the hostages still inside Gaza.

And thousands of supporters of Donald Trump, have gathered in Butler, Pennsylvania, as the Republican presidential candidate prepares to address a rally at the site where he narrowly avoided an assassin's bullet in July.
