R1 News, Wed 2 Oct - Tristan Serrano - Radio One 91FM

In the headlines today, Israel says it has bombed Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday, expanding its confrontation with Iran’s allies in the region after killing the Hezbollah leader Syyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday in an escalating conflict in Lebanon.

In stories, we invite Dr Leon Goldsmith, researcher and lecturer in Politics at Ōtakou Whakaihu-Waka whose focus in on comparative politics and the Middle East, to talk about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, what this means for the wider regions and framing this in its historical context.

Today’s host is Tristan Serrano.
