The World Tonight   /     US secures release of American prisoner held in Russia

Description

Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East flew to Moscow to collect American prisoner Marc Fogel. Could Fogel’s release signal a thaw in US-Russian relations, and what does it mean for American support for Ukraine? We speak to former US ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul. Also on the programme: we'll be live in Jerusalem as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the ceasefire in Gaza will end if Hamas doesn't release hostages on Saturday; and we hear from the Essex headteacher whose school gives detention to pupils who score less than 90% on their maths homework.
