The European Union's member states must spend more on defence to keep pace with the threats facing the continent, its foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has warned.

Also in the programme, we hear from Bassam Ass'ous, grandfather of two-year old Laila Al-Khatib who was shot in the head by the Israeli military last Saturday. And, Hamas hands over two Israeli hostages, Yarden Bibas, 34, and Ofer Kalderon, 53, who have crossed the border into Israel. A third US-Israeli citizen will be released in Gaza city.

A new 大象传媒 drama, Miss Austen will premier here in the UK on 大象传媒 One channel on Sunday. It reimagines the moment when Cassandra Austen threw Jane's letters into the fire, and frames it as an act of sisterly love. It's based on the novel by the writer Gill Hornby.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Lesley Vinjamuri, director of the US and Americas programme at London think tank Chatham House and Prof.Rana Mitter - ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School.
