The hostages are home. Is this a lasting peace?


Listen Later

The 20 living hostages, taken captive on October 7th two years ago, have been freed from Gaza and now begin to try and piece together shattered lives.

In Gaza, Palestinians are returning to homes of rubble - free of gunfire - but displaced and dispossessed. The politicians are telling a different story today, full of victory laps and self praise.

In Israel's Knesset, Donald Trump spoke of a "new dawn of the Middle East", and even "peace for all eternity". Are leaders really committed to the long haul of peace? And what part did the UK play in bring the plan about?

Later, why was Prince Andrew still writing emails to Epstein after he promised he’d broken off communication for good? And why was he reportedly signing them off with the phrase promising to "play some more soon"?
