| | | Hello. We bring you a report on one of Lebanon's deadliest days in decades, named operation Eternal Darkness by Israel, but known by the Lebanese people as Black Wednesday. What does the style of Kim Jong Un's teenage daughter suggest about North Korea's future? And finally, find out where a coyote who swam to Alcatraz really came from. | | | | | | |
| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | How 10 minutes of Israeli bombing brought devastation to Lebanon | | | | | Mohammed's son Abbas was at home sleeping when his building was struck and three floors collapsed on top of him, killing him. | | When a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran was announced, residents in Lebanon were cautiously hopeful that Israeli airstrikes would stop, even though Israel said this wouldn't be the case. Then, Israel launched an assault, claiming it struck around 100 targets in Lebanon in just 10 minutes. More than 361 people were killed, the majority being civilians, Lebanon says. The IDF says it targeted 250 Hezbollah operatives and made "extensive efforts to mitigate harm to uninvolved individuals", while Hezbollah claims Israel targets civilians as a pressure tactic. In the weeks after the attack, the BBC visited some of the areas hit to piece together what happened on that deadly day. | | | | | | | | - Watch: The captain of one of the 2,000 ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz speaks to the BBC.

| | | BEYOND THE HEADLINES | | What Kim Ju Ae's outfits tell us about North Korea | | | | | | | Kim Ju Ae is thought to be 13 but is styled to look older. Credit: Reuters/EPA/BBC | | North Korea has perhaps the most tightly-controlled population in the world, with almost every aspect of life dictated by the regime, even clothing and haircuts. The outfits worn by Kim Jong Un's teenage daughter, Ju Ae, are also likely dictated by the government's Propaganda and Agitation Department, but her looks are vastly different to the rest of the population. Has she been dressed for succession? Here's what her attire tells us about North Korea's future. | | | | | | |
