Israel waits nervously ahead of the release of all 20 living hostages by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Monday morning. Under the terms of the ceasefire deal - which came into effect on Friday - Hamas has until midday local time tomorrow to return all Israeli hostages. We'll hear from Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square" as it awaits their release and from the hospital where they will be treated when they are freed. Also in the programme: Madagascar president says there is an 'illegal and forceable seizure of power" is underway in the island nation off Africa's south eastern coast; and there have been fierce clashes overnight between the Pakistani army and Afghan Taliban forces along the mountainous northern border between the two countries - could this be a new battleline being drawn?
