which is run by him. us says more than 15000 people in the territory have since been killed in his rarely stripes. scrolls over to our course by the ton of cream, or in jerusalem tanya, the truce has been extended. how does this extension come about of the? well, as you said, the just minutes before a 7 am local time and the tooth was about to expire. as we go to message from the is really military saying that they would extend the operational pause as they described it, to give the media to small time and the efforts to release more hostages today. this was then also a confirmed by him us and as well by cut to which we are talking here to as the main menu to of course. but we're talking about an extension of just 24 hours as far as we understand. so negotiations are apparently still under way to extend this

choose and that, you know, more hostages could potentially be released. there was a dispute about the list that it's been usually submitted to as well. so we have to wait and see whether this a twos of 24 hours would be then for the extended, at the same time we are just getting now in reports as well. open the talk in jerusalem in the neighborhood of from a um, uh the police and medics are saying that has been, uh, potentially is shooting a tech. we're getting a lot more information on that to you once we know them. well, yesterday wednesday we saw a hom us releasing 16 hostages. uh theres been holding there and gaza among those fried are 2 russian women for tie nationals, and 10 is really is all women and teenagers, some of the dual nationality. they include citizens of germany than the other ones . the end, the us will come back to them in just a moment. but 1st, this report,

i find at least 3, escorted by mazda from us gunman. the latest group of flux that used to be released was received warmly by the international red cross. in russia. the egyptian border has the suited to his being but is real. there were joyful embraces and tears of relief among the hostages loved ones. as weeks of what he came to an end, i finally saw him briefly. he seems okay, overall cute and nice as usual. and i hope that emotionally, he's resilient and strong and he will get over what he went through. and i still don't know what he went through and tomorrow i expect to see him with my own eyes. meet him, hug him, kids him. the sick or i really didn't know what's happening

with him and in des moines that i saw him right now. i had no words like the crazy feeling amid the celebrations, there remains the concern for those still held kept the victims very happy about it . and yet, and my mother is the so it is also set for me. and because she's in the she was supposed to be released to 70, she's wanted is real released, the 30 palestinian prisoners comprising 40 women and 16 children. according to the kentucky foreign ministry. many of those released a teenagers accused of throwing stones and fire bones during confrontations with is really forces. sonya is the tell us more about those 16 hostages who were released by him us yesterday. what if anything, have they've been saying about their ordeal?

well the 6 and hostages that were released late last night of every united very much early in the morning with the family. so we didn't hear from them too much yet . but you heard from the other hostages, from the previous release, is mainly from the relatives because of the hostages themselves. you know, the kept a bit of power to protect them for the movements. uh, so we heard a different account and says that kind of one, a young, a teenage hostage who said that uh, he was basically held in a room separately uh that she was also beaten. uh others headset, the red treated or quite as fairly under the circumstances, but uh that in the beginning. uh, they still had enough food, but during the last a weeks or so, they barely uh go to any uh, a fluid. then of course you have the cases of elderly uh, hostages. uh that didn't get the medication that they needed. so uh we are getting

more and more of those accounts, uh, from hostages, but maybe also uh from uh, the penalties. and uh uh so you know, they're still staying a bit out of the spotlight themselves, but treat getting motives accounts yet. there's still a lot of diplomacy going on behind the scenes, tanya, us secretary of state anthony blinking is currently in israel. what's on his agenda, whether it's the 3rd time he's coming here and i think the main focus will be of course, you know, that the extension of the two's agreement, as he said, it's only for now read apparently on uh, you know, the next 24 hours and what mr. blinking has said previously before coming, his said no on the one hand, you know, then the main topic is to get more hostages out, but also to get more humanitarian age into gaza and the united states. they have been pushing for it all the while,

but standing side by side uh with israel in the war efforts. so any, thank you so much. that was the w, as tanya kramer. they're reporting from tourism for us, secretary of state, henry kissinger has died aged 100. for some he was the ultimate statesman whose tireless diplomacy earned him the nobel peace prize. others considered him a war criminal for his role in the vietnam war and support for anti communist dictatorships. but there's no doubt the seat shaped postwar us and global history like few others. he passed away at his home in new england, henry kissinger, academic. busy diplomat, us secretary of state and mine who shape the history of the ne 20th century like perhaps no other statesman. busy busy busy kissinger was born, i see in this area southern gemini to
