Hamas has released the names of the three hostages that it is to release on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. They are the Argentine-Israeli Le Horn, the US-Israeli Tzagil Dekel Chen and the Russian-Israeli Alexander Sasha Tufanov. Hamas had earlier said it would postpone the handover, claiming that Israel had breached the terms of the Gaza ceasefire.

But after mediated talks in Cairo, the Israeli threats to resume the war if the releases didn't go ahead as scheduled, Hamas agreed to abide by the deadline. One of the hostages had been held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Qaza Madira spoke to Moshalavi, the brother-in-law of the hostage Omni Muran, who's not on the list of the hostages to be released on Saturday.

That was Moshe Lavi. The three named hostages will be exchanged for more than 300 Palestinian prisoners.

Now to Argentina, where a luxury community built on a wetland in the capital, Buenos Aires, is facing an interesting problem, an ever-growing population of wild capybaras. For anyone who's never seen one, capybaras are the largest living rodents. They're a close relative of guinea pigs, but they can weigh up to 60 kilograms.

The residents of the community have come up with a solution, vasectomies and contraceptives. Luke Jones spoke to Lucia Cholacan Herrera, a journalist in Buenos Aires who's familiar with the problem.

Lucia Chalakian Herrera in Argentina. Now, quite a few of you may relate to this. You've had a big meal, maybe a starter and a main course. You're feeling pretty full up. But when the offer of a dessert comes, magically you feel like you've still got a space in your already bloated belly. The joke is that we have another separate stomach for desserts.

Not true, of course, but it seems there is a biological reason why we're able to carry on eating sweet things even when we've really had enough to eat. And it was uncovered by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany through a study of mice. Team leader Dr Henning Fensenlau has been telling James Menendez more.

Henning Fentzelau. The Bantu peoples and their languages are spread across vast areas of Western, Central and Southern Africa. On his new album, Hymns of Bantu, the South African cellist, singer and composer Abel Salauchwe pays tribute to both his Bantu roots and the Western classical music he studied. The album brings together sounds as diverse as throat singing and bark.
