Description

As the first steps of a peace plan between Israel and Hamas unfold with the release of hostages, how are Palestinians in Gaza feeling about the future?

Plus, have we moved beyond ghosting? For some, a blunt breakup text is becoming the norm before a relationship even begins.

01:20 - Hamas release Israeli hostages

05:00 - What life is like in Gaza right now

14:50 - Summer during an algal bloom

21:10 - Has therapy speak killed ghosting?
