breaking news about the covid inquiry, we will go back to the press conference in thailand injust a moment. the covid inquiry we are hearing that the former prime minister borisjohnson will give evidence to the inquiry next week on wednesday and thursday. we will hear from some significant members of the government at the time this week, we expect to hearfrom government at the time this week, we expect to hear from the former health secretary matt hancock today but that will be the biggest name and most significant name when boris johnson appears at the covid inquiry next week which is currently in its second stage, seeking to learn lessons from what happened during the pandemic. taking you back to the press conference in bangkok in the airport. the foreign minister of thailand has been speaking and he has been banking friends and allies who helped secure the release of those freed hostages from thailand, 23 have been freed by hamas in the past six days, the ceasefire and its extension of a seventh day as of friday local time in israel today. 17 of those freed have touched down back safely on sale in thailand in the past couple of hours and they are giving a news conference now. the entrance to bangkok airport. understandably a huge amount of interest in thailand and around the world. the hostages were the largest number of foreign national seized by hamas on the 7th of october when they took 250 people out of israel and into gaza following their attack on a cell in which more than 1200 people were killed. there are around 30,000 workers from thailand in estoril in the agricultural sector, many of them working on the cabinets from four eight were seized and a huge amount of relief, obviously, for the families of those who were caught up in this. some of them were saying they did not know if their loved ones were alive or not and presume they were dead until footage of them appeared on their release in the past few days. there are though still nine nationals from thailand being held by hamas and it is not clear whether they will be part of the number of hostages that are expected to be released today because these hostages that have been released were not part of the deal that israel made with hamas for a pause in the fighting to secure the release of its release but as i say we will and have seen foreign nationals released alongside. we have seen and heard the thailand foreign minister saint hostages were in good spirits, had been taken well care of by the israelis and what he was in israel several other nationals from thailand were released but they are still in israel as they carry on their medical checks there. and we will have more on their release later. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. you're live with bbc news india says it has set up a high—level inquiry committee to look into claims by the us that it foiled an alleged plot to assassinate an american citizen in new york who advocates for a sikh separatist state. nikhil gupta, an indian national, is accused of trying to hire a hitman for cash. he was allegedly directed by an indian government official who has not been named or charged in the indictment. the white house says it raised the alleged assassination plot with india at the most senior levels, and officials there have responded with "surprise and concern". let's get more on the death of the former us secretary of state, henry kissinger. he has died at the age of 100. serving under presidents nixon and ford, he led america s re—engagement with communist china and sought a thawing of relations with the soviet union. but he faced criticism for the us bombing of cambodia which killed hundreds of thousands. our diplomatic correspondent looks back at his life. the young

drove the american re—engagement with communist china paying secret visits to its leaders and paving the way for an historic first visit by a us president in 72. he sought to improve relations with the soviet union throughout negotiations about trade and arms control and in the middle east, he coined a new phrase, shuttle diplomacy as he flew between capitals to try and constrain arab—israeli conflict. his belief was in realpolitik, the idea that national self—interest trumps human rights or boundaries. ihla national self-interest trumps human rights or boundaries.— rights or boundaries.

at the age of 100. here in the uk there could be a break through in the long running dispute. here is katie austen. it's nearly a year and a half since the long—running series of strikes on the railway began. today could spell the end of rmt walkouts, for now at least. in march, maintenance workers and signallers employed by network rail accepted a deal. but thousands of other union members, who work for the companies which run the trains, have continued strikes. over the past few weeks, they've been voting on whether to accept proposals involving a 5% backdated pay rise for last year, more for the lowest paid and job security guarantees. it would lift the threat of rmt strikes until at least the spring, but it wouldn't be the end of the story. the government and the industry still want ways of working to change, arguing the railway is financially unsustainable. this deal would push that discussion into 202a. a pay rise for this year would depend on reaching agreement with individual train companies. it means that each company separately can sort out its individual needs in the way that job roles will change. and that is different across the 1a companies. the mistake was linking it all together, not only as a block of companies, but linking the terms and conditions with the pay. separating that out has meant that it can move forward very quickly and the unions seem to be accepting that change has to come. horns to0t. if rmt members reject the deal, more strikes could follow. there's been no such progress in the separate train drivers�* dispute. their union aslef has announced a fresh wave of industrial action, starting tomorrow. katy austin, bbc news. number of rough increased in england the first time since 2017. our correspondence has been speaking to
