BBC World Service - Newshour, Hamas seeks to extend four-day truce

Fourteen Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 39 Palestinians prisoners

Fourteen Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 39 Palestinians prisoners.

Hamas has said it's seeking to extend the four day truce with Israel that has seen dozens of hostages released from Gaza in return for Palestinian prisoners. President Biden has also said that  his goal is to keep the pause in the fighting in Gaza going beyond Monday, so that all captives can be brought home. We will get the latest from our correspondent in Jerusalem.

Also in the programme: a nationwide curfew is still in place in Sierra Leone after armed men attacked the armoury of a military barracks in the capital Freetown; and the winner of this year's Booker Prize for fiction is set to be announced.
