Israel-Hamas war: Video released of hostages in Gaza

Hamas has released a video showing three people held hostage in Gaza

Hamas has released a video showing three people held hostage in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the video as "cruel psychological propaganda". Meanwhile, "hundreds and hundreds" of patients are stuck in hospitals in northern Gaza where an Israeli evacuation order is place, according to the UN.

Israel has urged Russia to protect "all its citizens and all Jews" after a large mob shouting antisemitic slogans stormed a Dagestan airport.

A BBC investigation has uncovered multiple cases of corporal punishment in schools in Kenya, despite the practice being banned.

The BBC's Nuala McGovern joins the show with a dispatch from Taiwan, where identity and sovereignty dominate upcoming elections.

And a Friends fan, and recovered addict, pays tribute to the advocacy of the late Matthew Perry.
