Latest / The News Meeting

The Elgin marbles debate and could a pause in fighting become a ceasefire in Gaza?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor-in-chief James Harding.

He’s joined by David Aaronovitch, Chloe Hadjimatheou and Giles Whittell to discuss whether the deal between Israel and Hamas could be a stepping stone towards a more lasting ceasefire.

They also talk about Lee Anderson’s claim that he was offered a financial incentive to defect to another party and disagree over what should happen to the Elgin marbles.
