Hugh Sykes in Jerusalem
On PM tonight, Hugh Sykes reports on a candle-lit vigil which is being held in Israel outside the Prime Minister's Jerusalem home. It's in honour of the Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who's been held prisoner by Hamas in Gaza for the past four and a half years.

One of those attending the vigil is Robi Damelin, the mother of another soldier who was shot dead by a sniper in 2002. Her son David, who was killed by a Palestinian sniper in 2002. The sniper's name is on a list of prisoners who may be released in exchange for the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Robi believes the exchange should take place. She told us why on PM.
