UN agencies begin rollout of Gaza polio vaccines

The ambitious campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children against polio relies on a series of localised pauses in fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters, with the first window set to begin on Sunday.

Also on the programme: Thousands of demonstrators have been taking part in rallies in eastern Germany on the eve of elections in which the far-right is expected to do well; and we head to Stockholm where next month competitors will gather for the second annual GeoGuessr World Cup.

Joining presenter Gary O'Donoghue are journalist and author Isabel Hilton and Daniel Glaser, a neuroscientist and writer.
