Details have emerged of a possible new ceasefire deal in Gaza. Hamas is reported to be ready to free nine Israeli hostages in return for a sixty-day truce and the resumption of aid. The two sides have been holding indirect talks in Qatar, as Israel continues an offensive that has killed hundreds of Palestinians.

Also in the programme: the inauguration mass for Pope Leo XIV takes place later this morning; and Austria has won this year鈥檚 Eurovision song contest.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss this and more are Oana Lungescu, former NATO spokesperson and now distinguished fellow at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, and H.A. Hellyer, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress in Washington DC.
