| |  | Iain McDowell 29 November 2023 | | | Good morning. With more hostages freed in Gaza, we look at the hopes of an extended truce in the fighting. Back home, Sir Elton John goes to Parliament for his campaign against HIV and there's a racism row brewing in a new book about the royals. Plus we mark 40 years of a hit music series we've all owned and hear from the new Willy Wonka. | | | |
 Israel-Hamas truce enters 'final day' - so what happens next? Emotional and physical scars of those who've been held hostage by Hamas for weeks are showing as they emerge from captivity. Twelve more people were released from Gaza last night, while Israel has freed 30 more Palestinian prisoners, with some of those held in Israeli jails alleging mistreatment. This is the sixth - and possible final - day of the truce that has allowed those exchanges. So what can we expect now? Our Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega says that both Israel and Hamas want to extend this break in the fighting. Talks are intensifying in a bid to make that happen. But remember: Israel says that when this process is over it will resume its operation in Gaza with "full force". | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

One man tells us how found out he had HIV through the new method - he now takes a single tablet each day and his life is "completely as it was before". | | | | | |
