Summary
Today, the Israeli military says the ceasefire in Gaza is now in effect.
Troops have positioned themselves along the lines agreed under the Trump plan, the IDF says - but will continue to "remove any immediate threat". It comes after the Israeli government approved a deal with Hamas which will also see the release of hostages.
Hamas now has 72 hours to release all Israeli hostages, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees. Adam is joined by Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent.
And Adam, Chris and Dharshini are joined by Sarah Montague, presenter of the World At One, to round up the political week.
