Dutch election: Who is Geert Wilders?

Veteran anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders has won a dramatic victory in the Dutch general election

After 25 years in parliament, Geert Wilders's Freedom party (PVV) is set to win 37 seats, well ahead of his nearest rival, a left-wing alliance. We hear reaction from voters, explain what does he stand for and what are his chances of forming a government.

The foreign ministry in Qatar says Israel and Hamas have agreed that a four-day halt to the fighting in Gaza will start on Friday at seven in the morning, local time. We get reaction from Israel and hear about the situation in Gaza where Israel's bombardment continues.

We speak to BBC Arabic about the Palestinian prisoners and who might be the ones who will be freed as part of the deal between Israel and Hamas.

We get an update on the rescue operation in India where teams are trying to reach 41 workers trapped in a collapsed road tunnel.
