Gaza ceasefire talks to resume in Cairo

BBC World Service - Weekend, Gaza ceasefire talks to resume in Cairo

US carries out its first aid airdrop in Gaza, but how effective is it?

Further talks are due to be underway in Egypt over a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages.

Meanwhile, the US has carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid for Gaza. We speak to a former USAID head whether airdrops are effective.  

Also on the programme: The mood in Tehran after the parliamentary elections and the economic record of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP in the run-up to this year's elections in India.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, and Isabel Hilton, who is a London-based writer and broadcaster.
