Four female Israeli soldiers taken hostage by Hamas on 7 October 2023 were released on Saturday as part of a swap which will also see 200 Palestinian prisoners freed. Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag, all aged between 19 and 20, were released to the Red Cross in Gaza City during a heavily choreographed handover involving dozens of Hamas gunmen. Also on the programme: rebel forces in Democratic republic of Congo are advancing on the city of Goma, we speak to a bishop who is in Goma; and why some TV streaming channels are getting round TV sports rights issues by using cartoons.
