BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Gaza ceasefire

We get reaction to the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants.

We get reaction to the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have claimed victory after a ceasefire took hold early on Friday. There have been clashes today in Jerusalem between Palestinian worshippers and Israeli police at Al Aqsa Mosque compound. We get reaction from people on both sides and look at how the ceasefire is holding.

We hear from Argentina where the government has imposed nine days of strict lockdown after the country reported a record of 39,000 new cases on Wednesday. We also get questions answered about the pandemic by our regular expert, Dr Marc Mendelson in Cape Town, South Africa.  

We talk about an independent report that has found the BBC guilty of covering up what it knew about how journalist Martin Bashir secured his famous interview with Princess Diana in 1995.
