DRC Conflict: your questions answered

Our Senior Africa correspondent Anne Soy answers your questions about the DR Congo war

The conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo involving Rwandan-backed M23 rebels has led to a diplomatic row between the government, Rwanda and other international actors. We get the latest from our correspondent. We also answer questions from listeners about the war.

Hamas have handed over the names of the next hostages to be freed as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel. We have the latest from our Middle East correspondent.

We speak to aid workers about their challenges in supporting displaced Palestinians who continue to return to war-ravaged north Gaza.

Efforts to recover the bodies of those who died in Wednesday's air crash near Washington DC have resumed on the Potomac river. We speak to people who knew those on the plane.
