Also in today鈥檚 programme: It has been nine days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect. We鈥檒l hear from a resident of Gaza about what life is like under the fragile truce. But can the Israeli government be trusted to uphold its side of the agreement? We speak to a former Israeli foreign minister. And, a Brazilian artist draws inspiration from his African heritage, blending identity and tradition into bold new work.
