Gaza ceasefire, Burnham and faith

Sunday

Available for over a year

It's a new dawn in Gaza as the ceasefire holds, we hear from the Catholic aid agency ready to send aid to Palestinians returning to where their homes once stood. Israeli families countdown to the release of the hostages they've longed for: we hear from those already released on why their Jewish faith deepened in captivity. Does Andy Burnham 'do God?' The Mayor of Greater Manchester says it is time for faith communities to help form a bedrock for a new vision of local government - and he credits Pope Francis with the idea of fostering a new culture of encounter. PRESENTER: JULIE ETCHINGHAM PRODUCERS: CATHERINE MURRAY & KATY BOOTH STUDIO MANAGERS: MIKE SMITH & ADAM DOLAN EDITOR: CHLOE WALKER
