  • Poor Lebanon

    Poor Lebanon
    2026/04/16
    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

  • Meanwhile in Ukraine

    Meanwhile in Ukraine
    2026/04/09
    While the world’s attention has been fixed on the Iran war, the conflict in Ukraine has not gone away - and what’s happened in the Gulf is changing the situation there too. Putin has more money from the rise in the oil price, and has seen the US use its diminishing stockpile of weapons against Iran rather than sending them to Ukraine. Kyiv meanwhile has made new friends in the Gulf by assisting in anti-drone warfare - new friends with deep pockets. David Galbreath, Professor of War and Technology at the University of Bath, tells Phil and Roger how all this is likely to affect the outcome of the fighting in Ukraine.

  • The Arab View of Trump’s War

    The Arab View of Trump’s War
    2026/04/02
    As Iran gets pounded by the US and Israel, how are the Arab nations of the Gulf feeling about the resulting disaster to their economies, and the missiles and drones landing on their cities? This wasn’t a war they wanted, and they are being left to pick up the pieces, including getting access to the Straits of Hormuz to export oil and gas. Dr Mira Al Hussein, of the Centre For The Study Of Islam In The Contemporary World at Edinburgh University, joins Phil and Roger to discuss the Gulf Arabs concerns about this conflict.
