You're listening to the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. Hello, I'm Oliver Conway. This edition is published in the early hours of Sunday, the 26th of January. Four Israeli hostages and 200 Palestinian prisoners are released in the second exchange of the Gaza ceasefire deal. Thirteen foreign peacekeepers are killed in eastern Congo.
And a drone strike on a hospital in the Sudanese city of El Fasha is reported to have left nearly 70 people dead.
Also in the podcast... The robbers who blasted their way into a museum and stole one of the world's most valuable artefacts.
Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas have carried out a second hostage and prisoner exchange as part of their Gaza deal. Four female Israeli hostages were handed over in return for 200 Palestinian detainees, a ratio of 50 to 1. The releases in Gaza were a lot more orderly than the chaos seen in the first swap on Sunday.
Israeli captives Karina Ariev, Daniela Gilboa and Nama Levy, all aged 20, and Liri Albag, 19, waved as they were paraded on a stage in the Palestinian territory. Lucy Williamson has this report from Tel Aviv.
