A ceasefire has come into effect in Gaza and the Israeli military has withdrawn to agreed lines but will continue to "remove any immediate threat", the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said. It comes after the Israeli government last night approved a deal with Hamas. Now that the initial stages have reportedly been completed, Hamas has 72 hours to release all Israeli hostages, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees. Aid trucks are also expected to be sent in to help Gaza's two million people, most of whom have been displaced. As Gaza City residents return to neighbourhoods they have found "unprecedented devastation", Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abualouf reports.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, the woman who led a civil fraud investigation against Donald Trump in 2023, has been charged with bank fraud, accused of making false statements regarding a mortgage loan. James called the charges "baseless" and accused the US president - who recently publicly pressured prosecutors to file criminal charges against her - of a "desperate weaponization of our justice system".
