Three years on from 7 October attacks

Israel is marking three years since the Hamas-led attacks which killed 1200 people.

People across Israel and around the world have been marking the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks which saw Hamas-led fighters kill almost 1200 people and take 251 hostages. Israel responded by launching a military offensive in Gaza that Hamas officials say has killed more than 75,000 Palestinians. We'll get reflections on the anniversary from Israel and Gaza.

Also on the programme: Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi scores in his final game for his country; why a film enthusiast believes cinema's first 'talkie' was made in Scotland; and we speak to the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa on her new book which is part autobiography, part manifesto.
