Israel recovers the bodies of six hostages
The IDF said it found the bodies in a tunnel beneath Rafah.
The Israeli military says its forces have recovered the bodies of six hostages in an underground tunnel in the Rafah area in Gaza. It's reported that they were killed by Hamas fighters shortly before Israeli troops arrived to try to free them. The families of the hostages have said that if the Israeli government had agreed on a ceasefire deal, they would not have died.
Also on the programme: a vaccination drive to immunise 600,000 children in Gaza against polio has begun; and will music composed by Artificial Intelligence ever be better than that created by humans?
Joining presenter Gary O'Donoghue are journalist and author Isabel Hilton and Daniel Glaser, a neuroscientist and writer.
