Hamas leader in Egypt for talks, as pressure grows for a possible second Gaza truce

The leader of Hamas travels to Egypt for talks, as pressure grows for a further halt to the Israel-Gaza war.

Pressure is growing for a further halt to the Israel-Gaza war. The leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, has arrived in Cairo for talks on a fresh ceasefire in Gaza and Israeli President Isaac Herzog has said his country is ready for another humanitarian pause.

Efforts to get a United Nations Security Council ceasefire motion are set to resume after Tuesday's vote was delayed. The US says it is working with other members on the text, but it has vetoed previous resolutions.
 
Also on the programme: the European Union agrees new rules on migration; and we'll hear from the developer of an artificial intelligence model that can predict people's life chanceswith astonishing accuracy.
