BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Gaza: Hostage-prisoner exchange expected

It is the fifth day of the truce between Israel and Hamas

It is the fifth day of the truce between Israel and Hamas.

The United Nations has used the pause in fighting to get desperately needed aid into Gaza, but says much more is needed. The heads of the CIA and Mossad, the Israeli spy agency, have been meeting in Qatar for talks on further extending the Gaza ceasefire. We speak to our correspondent in Israel. 

The 41 construction workers trapped inside a tunnel in northern India have been rescued, 17 days after it collapsed. They were extracted one by one via a pipe 90cm (3ft) in diameter, which has been inserted through the rubble of the collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand state. We hear more from our reporter in India.

We explain the racketeering court case against Young Thug and how prosecutors are using the rapper’s lyrics as evidence against him. 

The NGO Save the Children says more than 136,000 people, including an estimated 74,000 children are trapped in the historic northern Mali city of Timbuktu. Our West Africa reporter explains. 

We discuss a BBC investigation showing that toxic pollutants released during gas flaring are endangering millions more people than previously feared. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
