Six months since Hamas attack on Israel

BBC World Service - Weekend, Six months since Hamas attack on Israel

Scuffles break out between Israeli police and protesters in Tel Aviv

Police in Tel Aviv forcibly dispersed tens of thousands of anti-government protesters who gathered on Saturday night to demand a deal to free the remaining hostages seized by Hamas six months ago.

Also on the programme, Rwanda is marking thirty years since the start of the genocide against ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus, when nearly a million people were killed in a hundred days; and, a new treaty has been signed between America and the UK to create joint benchmarks for the safety of AI models, setting the grounds for international standards. 

Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Juliana Olyinka, the London Correspondent for Nigeria's Channels Television and a strategic comms advisor to the Nigerian finance minister, and Sergey Radchenko, a professor at the Kissinger Center, School of Advanced International Studies Johns Hopkins University.
