Israel and Hamas agree to pause fighting

Israel and Hamas have agreed to pause fighting for hostage release.

Israel says it's continuing to strike Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip ahead of the first break in the conflict since early last month. A deal has been reached to pause the fighting for four days. Fifty hostages held by Hamas will be released. In exchange, the group says 150 Palestinians currently in Israeli prisons will be freed. We speak to our correspondent outside Tel Aviv's Museum of Art, which has been the focal point both for the protests of ordinary Israelis and the families of hostages. We also hear from family members of some of the hostages, and explain who the Palestinian prisoners are.

We have the latest on Sam Altman after it was announced that OpenAI co-founder will return as boss just days after he was fired by the board.

Rescuers have drilled two-thirds of the way through the debris of a collapsed road tunnel in India's Uttarakhand state. We find out what is known about the 41 workers, who have been trapped there for 10 days.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
