Palestinian Rival Factions Fatah and Hamas Agree to Talks

BBC World Service - Newshour, Palestinian Rival Factions Fatah and Hamas Agree to Talks

The Palestinian group Fatah has welcomed reconciliation efforts by rival faction Hamas.

In the Palestinian territories, Hamas - the faction that's ruled the Gaza Strip for the past decade - says it is willing to dissolve the body that oversees the territory and to allow a unity government to sit ahead of new elections. We get reaction from an Israeli MP and a senior Hamas official.

Also in the programme - 60% of the Rohingya refugees crossing from Myanmar into Bangladesh are children.

We also look ahead to this year's Emmy Awards in the American city of Los Angeles.
