Indirect peace talks between Hamas and Israeli representatives are due to take place in Egypt today. It follows a tentative agreement by Hamas to President Donald Trump's peace plan for the future of the Palestinian territory. We get a Palestinian view. We speak to the husband of a South African writer, Zukiswa Wanner, who was detained by the Israeli military when they boarded a flotilla containing pro Palestinian activists and aid. Though some activists have been released and are headed home, others still remain in Israel and in detention, including Zukiswa Wanner. And a rescue is under way after hundreds of hikers were stranded by a blizzard on the Tibetan slopes of Mount Everest. Chinese state media says all have been contacted by the authorities. 350 others have been guided to safety by rescuers. Presenters: Rob Young and Catherine Byaruhanga.
