More hostages due to be released on the third day of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

BBC World Service - Weekend, More hostages due to be released on the third day of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

Thirteen Israelis and four foreign nationals were released after delay.

A second group of thirteen Israelis and four foreign nationals were released late last night after a delay of several hours. Hamas accused Israel of not sticking to its part of the current four day truce agreement. Israel had denied this. Thirty-nine more Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel were freed in exchange for the release of the hostages.  

Russia says it has destroyed several Ukrainian drones overnight.   And a rare book once owned by the British author Jane Austin is going under the hammer at Sotheby’s next month. 

Today’s guests are Desta Haile a writer and a musician based in London and and Akshat Rathi, London-based senior reporter for Bloomberg News specialising in climate change.

Produced by Usman Azad, Thomas Copeland, Salma Nurmohamed, Damian Quinn and Henry Tang. Presented by Krupa Padhy.
