Mediators in Qatar have announced it will start at 8:30am local time. It comes after Israel鈥檚 government formally approved the ceasefire hostage deal late on Friday.
Also on the programme: we ask how Ukraine will be impacted by Donald Trump鈥檚 presidency; and we hear from the author of a novel touted as the Palestinian-American Sex and the City, which has just been released in the US.
Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are Shashank Joshi, the defence editor of The Economist magazine, and Lina Khatib, associate fellow of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at the UK foreign affairs thinktank, Chatham House.
