BBC World Service - Newshour, Gaza: Qatar says 13 hostages to be released on Friday

Qatar announced details of the planned pause in fighting and release of Israeli hostages

Qatar has announced key details of the planned pause in fighting and release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza by Hamas, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody. After weeks of negotiation, we’ll hear from a former Israeli negotiator on the delicate steps required in executing the deal. 

Also in the programme: Rescue workers drilling to free 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in India's Uttarakhand state say they are close to reaching them; and Turkey's central bank has raised its main interest rate to 40% - much higher than expected - to tackle soaring inflation in the country.
