Hamas transfers another group of hostages to Israel

Another 13 Israeli hostages and several foreign nationals held in Gaza have been handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross. An earlier delay to the release of the hostages was resolved following mediation with Egypt and Qatar. We hear from our correspondent in Jerusalem, and voices on the ground.

Also on the programme, we hear how the civil war in Sudan has been over shadowed by events in the Middle East, and the war in Ukraine; how the El Nino weather pattern is causing this year to be the hottest on record, and a rare book owned by Jane Austen goes to auction.
