Trump says first phase of Gaza ceasefire deal agreed
The hostage release will begin within 72 hours of the ceasefire starting.
US President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of his Gaza ceasefire deal.
We'll speak to the father of one of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza and get reaction from Gaza City. We also assess the chances and the many obstacles that remain in the way of a lasting peace deal.
Also on the programme: this year's Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to the Hungarian writer Laszlo Krasznahorkai; and the celebrated Chinese pianist Lang Lang on his new album.
