	Description:		The leader of Hamas earlier said they were close to reaching a "truce agreement" with Israel, raising hopes of a pause in hostilities that could see hostages freed. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that they "are making progress" on the release of hostages snatched by Hamas on 7 October and taken to Gaza. We'll speak to a senior advisor to the Israeli government and hear how Qatar has huge influence negotiating in the Hamas-Israel war. Also in the programme: A rediscovered BBC interview with the mysterious artist known as Banksy on his art and reaction from the public to it; and we'll hear about the debates at the heart of the OpenAI stand-off.
