Israel resumes Beirut air strikes

A day after a new far-reaching ground offensive, Israeli aircraft have resumed attacks on Beirut. In southern Lebanon, Israeli troops and Hezbollah guerrillas are battling for control of several border villages.

Diplomats at the United Nations say the UK, France and the US are close to agreeing on a UN resolution calling for an immediate end to the fighting.

The three countries are hoping to present the first part of a two-stage peace plan to the other 12 members of the UN Security Council later on Thursday.
