Israel-Gaza war: will ceasefire talks resume?

BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel-Gaza war: will ceasefire talks resume?

Talks aimed at securing a ceasefire could resume on Sunday in Qatar.

Talks aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages could resume on Sunday in Qatar as fears remain over the prospect of an Israeli offensive in southern Gaza. Hamas has presented a new proposal for a three-stage plan to end the fighting, but the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the proposal unrealistic.
And Sunday is the last of three days for Russians to vote in the country's presidential election; opponents of President Putin plan to gather at polling stations at noon.
Today’s guests are Stephanie Baker, a senior writer at Bloomberg News in London. and Christopher De Bellaigue, a historian and journalist.
