BBC World Service - Newshour, Hopes for ceasefire in Gaza after talks

A ceasefire has come into effect between Israel and Palestinian militants

A ceasefire has come into effect between Israel and Palestinian militants.

There are hopes a ceasefire will hold between Israel and Palestinian militants, after three days of violence left at least 43 people dead. The latest violence is the most serious flare-up between Israel and Gaza since an 11-day conflict in May 2021.

Also in the programme:

A London museum has agreed to return to Nigeria artefacts that were looted in the nineteenth century from the Kingdom of Benin; and the race is on to  rescue a malnourished beluga whale which has swum into France's River Seine.
