Ceasefire holds in the Middle East

The UN Security Council has urged Israel and the Palestinians to honour peace.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is holding - but for how much longer? We hear analysis of the conflict and its resolution.

Also on the programme: as Spain reopens to foreigners, tourism industry workers are delighted; and a new show opens in London on the enduring appeal of Alice in Wonderland.

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.
