About this listen

 The bombs have stopped falling on Iran, but not on Lebanon. Israel is talking to the Lebanese government, but has not let up in its assault on Hezbollah, which continues to fire rockets into Israel. The war in the last few weeks has cost more than 2000 Lebanese lives. Lebanon has been attacked again and again by Israel over many decades. Its economy has collapsed and hundreds of thousands have lost their homes. So why is this small country the focus of so much destruction and violence? What is Hezbollah's role? And is there any hope of long-term peace? Professor John Nagle of Queen's University, Belfast, tells Phil and Roger what has happened, and what could happen next
