	Description:		Israeli airstrikes have flattened a residential building in the centre of the Lebanese capital Beirut. At least 11 people have been killed and more than 60 injured, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The eight-storey building was completely destroyed without warning in the capital's densely-populated Basta district. We hear from a local resident. Also on the programme: negotiators at the UN climate change summit search for compromise on how much rich nations should pay poorer countries to help them deal with global warming; and Scotland's oldest surviving cello.
