The World Tonight   /     Hamas delays release of Israeli hostages

Description

Hamas says it's postponing the next scheduled release of Israeli hostages, blaming what he said were Israeli violations of the ceasefire deal. Three hostages held in Gaza are due to be freed on Saturday in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. Israel's defence minister called the announcement "a complete violation of the ceasefire agreement". The uncle of an Israeli hostage tells us US President Donald Trump should avoid commenting on Gaza until all the hostages are released.Assisted dying cases would no longer have to be signed off by the High Court under changes suggested by the bill's supporters. We speak to Labour MP Jess Asato who says the change undermines assurances the bill would be tough on safeguarding.And would you attend a concert in the dark?
