Järjestelmä taitaisi olla lopettanut Lebanonin sääntöä, mutta se ei ollut lopettunut. Olimme pysyvillä ylöspäin, ympäristössä kolme pientä kaupungia Suomen alueilla, mutta lopetukset pysyivät vahvemmin ja Israelin järjestelmän järjestelmä kuului lähemminkin.

Arab Salim on nukkuva kaupungi, joka on ollut lähellä monien sotilaiden alueista. Suurin piirtein pysähtynyt, se on taistellut taas konfliktiin.

A few men gather in front of a small shop. Phones in hand, they check the messages with reports of Israeli airstrikes. They keep coming in. The village is quiet, but not in peace. War is ugly, but when it's imposed upon you, you have to defend your country and your existence. Hussein, a middle-aged man, tall and kind, owned the only grocery here.

It's now completely charred after an Israeli airstrike hit the building next door a month ago. He has now put up a Hezbollah flag outside. We are all civilians here, but the community supports Hezbollah because they're defending us. We're the ones putting Hezbollah flags over destroyed shops and buildings here in the village, not them. They're the only ones keeping us on our land.

Maskeissa on kaksi naisa, Fatima ja Dunja. He ovat 80-luvulla, syntyneet täällä ja pysyneet pysymään. Miltä tuntuu, kun kuulee dronit ylös? Olen hieman yllättävällinen. En välttämättä välttämättä. Mutta sitten pysyvät minun syrjintäni. Kaikki tuntuvat yllättävällä, mutta on eri tasoja yllättävää. Pidämme Jumalaa.

More than 400 people have been killed in Lebanon during the ceasefire. Israel says it is attacking Hezbollah for violating the deal. And Hezbollah has attacked Israel and Israeli troops in southern Lebanon with rockets and drones. We're standing at the last...

Lebanon sotilasta. Toisella puolella on niin kutsuttu vihreä ranta. Tämä on Lebanon osa, joka on nyt israelilähtöisessä. Lebanon sotilat ovat kertoneet, että israelilähtöiset toimivat joitain asioita ylhäältä rannasta. Ei kauhean täältä.

Rida lives in Tia, the largest city in the south. An Israeli airstrike destroyed his business and his house and killed his brother and a dozen of his neighbors, all civilians, he says. As long as the strikes continue, these sirens across the country will not stop. Whatever the ceasefire is, it is in peace. Not here, not yet. That report by Hugo Besheka.

Still to come in this podcast, a year after President Macron's slap from his wife made headlines around the world, a French journalist claims the reason was because she was jealous of his relationship with an Iranian actress.

I just want to feel that paternal love that I've never gotten.

The top diplomat overseeing President Trump's peace plan for Gaza has said he can see a role for Hamas in the Palestinian territory as a political movement, but only if it disarms. Speaking to journalists on a visit to Jerusalem, Nikolai Mladenov, Gaza's high representative to the US-led Board of Peace, also said it would take a generation to clear the rubble in Gaza and rebuild it.

Violence continues despite the ceasefire that came into force last year with hundreds of people killed since then and most of Gaza's population camped out in abysmal conditions with Israel occupying more than half of the already crowded territory. Lucy Williamson, who was at the briefing, has more details.

With Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza stalled in a fractured ceasefire, Mr. Mladenov said Israel's withdrawal depended on Hamas disarming and handing over power, but that the group could survive as a political party if it gave up its commitment to fighting Israel.

In response, Israel's government said the terms of the peace deal banned Hamas from any role in governing Gaza. Hamas has said it's committed to handing over power. But the group has so far refused to disarm. And Israel, which regularly carries out strikes in Gaza, has been extending the area under its effective control. In March, it marked out new areas where international organizations must coordinate their activities with Israeli forces.

Mr. Mladenoff said both sides now faced a choice, the peace plan or a permanent division of Gaza. Something Gaza's people wouldn't want, he said, and which wouldn't deliver security for Israel. Lucy Williamson. It's the latest twist in a gruesome murder trial that has fascinated people in the United States and beyond.

Three years after he was convicted of killing his wife and son by a court in South Carolina, disgraced lawyer Alex Murdoch has had his murder convictions overturned. The state supreme court ordered a new trial, saying a local county clerk had unfairly biased a jury against him in the original one. Such was the intense interest in the trial that it even inspired a drama miniseries.

Bernd Busman. The French president's marriage has been the subject of intense interest since his ascent to power a decade ago because of the 24-year age gap, the fact that she was a teacher and he her pupil when they met.

Last year, video of President Macron apparently being slapped by his wife Brigitte as they were about to disembark from a plane went viral. They insisted they were just joking around. But now a French journalist has claimed that Brigitte Macron slapped her husband in a jealous row over texts that he was exchanging with an Iranian actress. Carla Conti reports.
