Israeli life resumes after ceasefire

We look at whether the country feels safer.

Today we look at the latest reports from the United States and the Central Intelligence Agency says Iran's nuclear programme has been severely damaged. This follows Pentagon claims this week that the programme had only been set back by months.

We also report from Israel and look at whether people in the country now feel safer after this two week war. And we speak to a government spokesman to get his view of what Israel has achieved.

We report from Thailand and the country's decision three years ago to lift almost all controls on marijuana has created a huge industry producing and selling it, and made the South East Asian country a top destination for travellers wanting to consume it. But the rising number of mainly British travellers being arrested for smuggling large quantities of marijuana out of Thailand, and a collapse in prices caused by too much production, is forcing the government there to rethink its approach.

And a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ investigation into ticket touts or scalpers, who are making huge amounts of money from big sports and music events.
