Middle East ceasefire enters third day

Egyptian mediators are in talks with both sides to try to underpin the ceasefire.

The UN Security Council has urged Israel and the Palestinians to honour the ceasefire that's now entered its third day. We'll hear views from Jerusalem - the city at the heart of conflict - from a Palestinian and a Jewish Israeli.

Also on the programme: we hear about the winners and losers in the Eurovision song contest; and what sort of book can win you the Booker Prize?

Joining Paul Henley on the programme is Ece Temelkuran, a Turkish novelist and political commentator and Hisham Hellyer, a scholar and author on politics, religion, and security studies in the West and the Arab world.
