Gaza ceasefire to begin on Sunday morning

The truce will begin at 0830 local time after Israel's government voted to approve it.

Israel's cabinet has ratified a deal with Hamas, paving the way for fighting in Gaza to stop on Sunday.

Also on the programme: an Indian court has convicted a man for the rape and murder of a female doctor in a Kolkata hospital last year, in a case that sparked protests across the country; and scientists are searching the ocean depths for a mysterious phenomenon known as "dark oxygen".
