We discuss the major prisoner swap between Russia, Germany and the US, involving high-profile journalist Evan Gershkovich of the ‘Wall Street Journal’. Also in the programme: we get the latest as fears of an escalating conflict heighten in the Middle East following the killings of high-profile Hamas and Hezbollah leaders by Israel. Then: we assess the growing far-right sentiment in the UK. Plus: we check in with our team in Paris on day seven of the Olympic Games.
