2023/11/21 17:06 GMT: Talks to release Israeli hostages

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Talks to release Israeli hostages

Negotiations about the release of Israeli hostages are ongoing.

Israeli Prime Minister says "we are making progress" on the release of hostages snatched by Hamas on 7 October and taken to Gaza.

Israel's Prime Minister says "we are making progress" on the release of hostages snatched by Hamas on 7 October and taken to Gaza. It comes as Hamas says the group is close to reaching a "truce agreement" with Israel, raising hopes of a pause in hostilities in Gaza. We speak to our security correspondent Frank Gardner to get the latest on what's happening.

We will speak to one woman who set out to end period poverty and just came back from Lebanon, where she got to meet volunteers she has been working with for years. Period Poverty is something that affects 500 million people around the world.

And we hear from James Peak, the presenter of the BBC Radio podcast, The Banksy Story about a lost interview with the Street artist where he seemingly reveals his real name.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
