Israel - Gaza war: could a ceasefire be on the horizon?
Momentum gathers for new ceasefire deal
Western diplomats have expressed 'cautious optimism' over a potential ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
Our Gaza reporter and an Israeli journalist tell us more about the negotiations in Cairo.
We also speak to the family of one of the hostages still being held captive in Gaza and we hear about the realities of reporting from the territory.
Also in the programme: women in Amsterdam win the right to 'urination equality'; and the twelve-sided Roman mystery object that has been baffling experts for centuries.
