BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Hamas war: One month on since the attack

We hear from the father of a young girl believed to be a hostage of Hamas in Gaza

We hear from the father of a young girl believed to be a hostage of Hamas in Gaza.

It is a month on since the attacks on the 7 October, when Hamas gunmen broke across the border into Israel, killing 1,400 people, and taking over 200 hostages. We hear from a father who is still waiting in hope for news about his young daughter. We also hear from Palestinians who give us updates from within Gaza. They talk about the relentless bombardment they are under and the search for basic essentials such as water to drink.

The BBC's diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams in Jerusalem answers listeners' questions on the ongoing war in Gaza.  

Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya has told the BBC that she is "not going to be ashamed" of being "different", and will "fight for what is right".  She was born with an elevated level of testosterone - a hormone that increases muscle mass and strength. We hear some of that interview.

And the first images have been revealed from the Euclid space telescope - a European space project designed to investigate the cosmic mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. We hear from a former Nasa scientist who is now an editor and has been watching the images.
