Today, we hear more detail about the hostage release, which a Hamas official says will take place on Monday morning, and we talk through what to expect from an international peace summit in Egypt led by US President Donald Trump and Egypt.

Over 20 world leaders, including Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, are expected to be in attendance at Sharm El-Sheikh.

A spokesperson for Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the summit is intended to "end the war in the Gaza Strip, strengthen peace and stability efforts in the Middle East, and open a new page in regional security and stability."

Laura, Paddy and Henry discuss how big a role the UK played in the peace process.

Plus, we discuss the ongoing row over the collapse of the China spy case and whether the UK’s national security advisor Jonathan Powell has questions to answer over what happened.

Israel-Gaza: Hope, Caution and a Huge 24-Hours for Peace

Today, we look at the progress of the Trump peace plan for Israel and Gaza as Hamas recalls 7,000 fighters to reassert control over Gaza amid fears of renewed internal violence.

The Hamas mobilisation had been widely anticipated amid growing uncertainty about who will govern Gaza once the war ends.

The ceasefire appears to have held but Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners are yet to be released. 

Laura and Paddy speak with international editor Jeremy Bowen about the latest.

Plus, Laura explains how the contest to become deputy leader of the Labour party could be seen as a verdict on Keir Starmer.

Israel-Gaza: Why Is Hamas Recalling Fighters?

Today, the Israeli military says the ceasefire in Gaza is now in effect. 

Troops have positioned themselves along the lines agreed under the Trump plan, the IDF says - but will continue to "remove any immediate threat". It comes after the Israeli government approved a deal with Hamas which will also see the release of hostages.

Hamas now has 72 hours to release all Israeli hostages, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees. Adam is joined by Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent. 

And Adam, Chris and Dharshini are joined by Sarah Montague, presenter of the World At One, to round up the political week.

Israel-Gaza: What Does The Ceasefire Agreement Mean?

Today, Kemi Badenoch gave a speech at the Conservative party conference. Adam, Chris, and Henry Zeffman were listening and give their immediate reaction.

She announced a flurry of new policies, including abolishing stamp duty and introducing a fiscal “golden rule”. 

Did she manage to silence her critics? And is her job as party leader, at least for now, safe? 

She also attacked Labour for the collapse a case of two men accused of spying for China, which they deny. But is she right to accuse the government of “sucking up to Beijing?”

Conservative Conference: “It’s Tough Being A Tory”

Today, negotiators from Israel and Hamas head to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt to start indirect talks over an end to the Israel-Gaza war. 

It appears this is the closest both sides have come to a deal since the war began two years ago. But Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan - which Israel has agreed to and Hamas has partly agreed to - is really just a framework, only a few pages long. So will the talks survive the detail? Adam talks to Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent, about how the next few days could play out?

And, yet another French prime minister has resigned, less than a month after being appointed to the role. Sébastien Lecornu, a former armed forces minister, was France's fifth prime minister in under two years. What does President Macron do now? Adam speaks to co-host of the Global Story Tristan Redman and Marion Solletty Politico’s editor-at-large in France.

Manchester Synagogue Attack: PM Tells Protesters To ‘Respect Grief Of British Jews’

Today, we discuss the aftermath of the Manchester synagogue attack as Greater Manchester Police say that one of the victims killed in yesterday's attack was hit by police gunfire as they shot the attacker. It’s not yet clear whether this was the cause of death. 

Two Jewish men were killed when a man, who police believe to be Jihad Al-Shamie, drove a car at members of the public before stabbing people. 

Three people remain in hospital, with one also being treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, police say. Adam speaks to Danny Savage who has been reporting from the scene.

And, Adam, Chris, Faisal and Director of Nuffield Politics Research Centre Jane Green look back on the political week. Did Keir Starmer make a success of Labour conference? Is the two child benefit cap about to change? And why is Kemi Badenoch pledging to scrap landmark climate legislation?
