Hamas hands over first dead hostages
Masked gunmen oversaw the handing of the bodies to the Red Cross in Khan Younis in Gaza.
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says he's enraged by what he called the "monsters of Hamas", and has vowed to eliminate the group after they handed over the bodies of four hostages. We hear from hostage families and speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem.
A planned press conference involving Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy has been cancelled. Sources in Kyiv have told the BBC that Keith Kellogg appears to have been sidelined by the Trump administration. We get reaction from Ukrainians and speak to our regional expert.
A month into President Trump’s second term, we bring together Americans who voted for him to discuss what they think about his performance so far. We also speak to people about their experiences of deportations from the US.
Presenter: Andrew Peach.
