Why was the release of Palestinian prisoners delayed?
The Vatican says the Pope's health has deteriorated after more than a week in hospital with pneumonia. One person has been killed in a knife attack on police officers in France that President Macron has called an act of Islamist terror.
What is happening with the Pope's health?
Also in this podcast, a Frenchman whose stolen credit card was used to buy a winning lottery scratch card, which has now been frozen, makes this appeal to the thieves.
How did a lottery win lead to legal trouble in France?
I'd like to tell them to contact my lawyer so we can work out a friendly agreement. Let's split the money.
As six hostages released by Hamas have been tearfully reunited with their families, Israel has delayed the release of more than 600 Palestinian prisoners who were supposed to be freed in exchange under the terms of the Gaza ceasefire deal. There has been no official explanation for the delay. However, Israeli security officials have been meeting late into this evening.
What are the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange?
Hamas hat Israel auf eine blöde Verletzung des Gaza-Zuscheidungsverfahrens verurteilt und sagt, dass einige der Gefangenen verabschiedet wurden. Als Nacht fiel in der Westbankstadt von Ramallah, warten Familien weiter, als wir diesen Podcast aufnehmen, insbesondere die Relativen von zwei der Gefangenen.

One hostage, Avera Mengistu, had been held captive by Hamas for more than 10 years. A family member, Gili Eliasem, described their joy.
We feel like we're on cloud nine, overwhelmed with happiness. It's a day of celebration. Now that he's back and will undergo rehabilitation, we'll finally have time to reflect and hold accountable those responsible for everything that happened and for what should have happened.
Well, since then, Hamas has published a new video showing two Israeli hostages, not yet scheduled for release, who'd been brought to a release point to witness Saturday's liberation of the other hostages. The video, taken inside a vehicle, captures them pleading on camera to be taken home. Well, earlier I asked our correspondent in Jerusalem, Sebastian Usher, what we knew about why the Palestinian prisoner releases had been delayed.
After the sixth hostage was released, Hisham al-Sayed, the process of releasing the more than 600 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails would normally have started as we've seen in other hostage handovers, but it hasn't.
