tennis for getting them on the team got shows in secondary from championship in a role. not only defeating san francisco 8 overtime and i, but it goes to come from behind to beat nigeria and it's printing for knowledge to be a couple of nations. the span of you're welcome to the program. israel says it has rescued 2 hostages during a raid in gaza. southern city of rough uh, the men age. 61 and 70 are fortunately in stable condition. and i have been taken to a hospital in the hotel of be israel. today is the hostages of a freed, as its forces gutted out overnight strides in rough up a mazda gone helpful thought of these say at least 37 people were killed, is around lunch between if your operation in does after how mosque headed out?

the october 7, turbo tax or so i'm on this, i'm done now by the debit card responding to back of it as in jerusalem. rebecca, what do we know about the freed hostages over as the 2 men have been named as fernando mom and louis. hi, both in the sixties and seventies. uh, they were both origin tv and is raining nationals and they were kid not kidnapped on october 7th from the composites of near yitzhak, they were also kidnapped with some of the family members they were released in the november hostage exchange. and now these 2 men were rescued over night. they've been taken to a hospital near tel aviv family members who have been in contact with them. say the man was seen and pale, but otherwise looked relatively. okay. in good condition, they would of course, be completely medically checked in and go through the processes now that hit a standard for any hostage release. and the idea of says that this operation was

carried out overnighted around 2 am. they were able to get access to special ops unit, were able to get access to this apartment building where the men were located on the 2nd floor. according to the as riley military. they said it was a highly specialized operation and that it was done on a credible intelligence and that they had in fact, been waiting for some time for the conditions to be right. to carry out this operation that they had intelligence about the whereabouts of these 2 men for some time, but just waiting for that right moment to be able to carry out this operation. that also reports of a strikes that these really forces conducted was that in support of this rescue mission, it was really military saying that these air strikes when needed to be carried out in order to provide kava for this special operation. we're hearing move and it doesn't, it strikes were carried out. and as you were reporting me,

i'm us run health ministry, putting the number of casualties at 37. we're also hearing reports from a hospital with a low and casualty figure and, and hearing as well that i'm not saying that the number could be much higher. so definitely a very intense operation from all reports that we're hearing. i witness reports, video that was thing posted on social media. there was an in suing panic of people . some people reporting that they sold that the ground operation had begun and was underway. and we're trying to wrong trying to find a calvo. we see women with children running, trying to escape no more than a 1000000 people uh, sheltering in this small southern city that's on top of the some 300000 people that were already living there. when this operation began. so with $1300000.00 minimum and they're running out of places to go, many of them has been displaced several times. the conditions in that city of her estate, by all accounts and getting worse, people warning that any ground operation would see

a contest of the humanitarian catastrophe. so certainly some dire situation. very terrifying situation for civilians sheltering their overnight. but these riley military saying that they needed to carry out this operation in order to be able to rescue these hostages or leave it there for the timing. but thanks so much for joining us now. rebecca with us from jerusalem and for the why, the implications of that operation, i'm joined now by mike mountain. if i'm a bit of show me officer and security analyst at king's college london. good morning, mike of the overnight strikes and rough uh, the style of industry operations, the would you say so? absolutely. i mean, usually, and these wiley armed forces and a different to how the process all the americans would do it. but usually ground operations are preceded by a period of area operations. what you tried to take out some of the more high value

targets. so yes, it does seem that the incursion into rough uh has begun us president joe biden say that as well should have a cold medical and executable plan that ensures the safety of more than a 1000000 palestinians who are sheltering in rough uh does is around have such a plan like icons speak. so what's going on inside these by the government, but i can speak to the fact that it's almost impossible to have a plan where you have a 1000000 people is you just said that also cramped into a very, very small area. these people have left all the way, raising dollars, the floods, the safety in russell on their off against the cause, reference the egyptian border. so they can't go any further south is very, very difficult. if you're doing the kind of operations, israel has been doing so far. so aerial bombardment on ground troops moving in is very difficult to separate between military target. so how much the militants and

civilian targets. and of course, as one of the things that you must do, if you want to fight and remain within the laws, will not the 1st time that the, that the goals and the idea of to try and book out a plan to spare any collateral damage. and the lives of civilians were caught up, you know, was the one from everything that you've seen over the past few months. does it appear that the idea f as a toilet bade heat to any suggestions that it avoid this kind of collateral damage? this i think this does 2 things that one is the evidence that we have in front of us, of a civilian casualties. and although the number is discrete, it is many, many, many thousands, some say up 225000 civilian casualties. and that is a number that tells us that there is more that could have been done to distinguish

between militants and civilians on to protect civilians. but the other thing i think we should look at as well is the rhetoric of some is riley government ministers and cd, a members of the odd. yes. we've, we've talked about laying siege to garza, we've talked about costing of power. these are all things that expose, perhaps the intensive, the idea, and these way the government is not always, as they say to distinguish properly between militants and civilians, and to protect those civilians. now says that the talking victory is possible in cause or within months, would you say that's a realistic assertion? now it's, it's it's, it's impossible. and these way the government has sets itself to targets. one is to kill, destroy thomas quotes on quotes, and the other is to freehold hostages. well, the period that we had the most hostage release was when there was a ceasefire. and as for destroying him, us several months into the operation,

how much is still able to loans rocket is ro, it's basically impossible to destroy military targets when you, when they are interspersed amongst civilians living in high density in urban areas . the any way to do that is the kennel the civilians. so that's a huge problem for his ro leave it there for the time being. thanks so much for joining us today. mike boston, thank you to the us now where western lead, as i'm sorry, west to meet as often as eyes. donald trump was saying he would not protect nato allies, were not spending enough on defense from russian attacks. the republican front front of trump said he had previously told natal states he would encourage russia to do whatever they want if they didn't fulfill the commitments to the blog. trump has regularly lashed out at members of the alliance of fading to spend at least 2 percent of the economic output on defense native young's salt him. but he says,

any suggestion the allies would not defend each other. if i undermines western security, i guess i will. most politicians have said, meanwhile, nato has kicked off. it's the biggest benefit sizes in decades, beginning 4 months of naval ad and ground maneuvers today was shipped stop naval exercises on europe's atlantic coast operations that 1st defend will take place across the bunch of europe. 90000 personnel from all 31 natal member countries as well as sweden will take part. the city's kicks off with naval exercises of the coastal span, as well as operation bringing in to jump in poland. a test, a false witness on the lines as eastern border. so let's take a quick look now at what's in store and how russia is reacting to nato's show for us. flane's war ships. tanks, it's been 3 years since the last operation steadfast defender. this year's version

is happening on a grand scale, meant to demonstrate how fast forces can move from north america to europe, and activate defenses there against a near peer and nato has $31.00 members participating, plus sweden, which is in talks to join the alliance. more than 90000 soldiers, sailors and air personnel will take part in more than 50 naval vessels and 80 aircraft are involved, as well as more than 1000 combat vehicles. it's a significant step up from the last then, fast defender exercises in 2021. those involved about 10 percent for the personnel taking part this time around. nato says that's due to changing realities on the ground in europe. especially following russia's invasion of u frame in 2022. and the ongoing war there. the security

situation in europe has, is dramatically changed over the last couple of years. we have to exercise a larger scale and with more complexity, then we, we used to doing in the era when we were mostly focused on, i'm overseas operations. so i think what you're seeing this year in 2024 is the new tools that new normal does not please russia, which sees nato as a hostile alliance. as mentioned, i was putting in my hand. rustic considers major nato exercises as a threat to its security. in our understanding, the alliance was conceived, formed, configured, and managed by the united states as an instrument of confrontation. control beautiful. steadfast defender will shift from naval readiness and southern europe to ground based exercises in the alliance is northern and eastern flanks over the coming months. it's set to wrap up at the end of may quit your thoughts,

some of the other stories making headlines today. the pent again say is us secretary of defense lloyd austin, has been admitted to a critical care unit in washington, dc for a bladder issue. austin has temporarily transferred duties to his deputy. last month. austin was criticized by lawmakers by failing to disclose a cancer diagnosis. and hospitalization, we worked a little more on strategy. finland's former conservative prime minister, alexander still has won the presidential run off after his arrival conceded defeat stoops 1st big task is to oversee integration into nato. finland is the alliance. his newest member and the board and ukraine has dominated the election campaign in baptist, on the parties that finished and 2nd and 3rd place and thursday general election have begun to coalition talks. the bunk is done with them leading that by fall my premier nevada's should have given 2nd followed by the buckets on people's body. independent candidates back by jim ex prime minister and gone to time. one of the

most states and problem i'm trying to do. and to madison well, the record whole, the kelvin, keep them and his go, which have died in a car crash and best and can you give them? was the 1st man to run the madison in under 2 hours. one minutes he set the new bug record of the chicago madison last october. for more than 20000 people have been displaced by flooding. i'm the in the nation island of java rainy season is proving to be an ad adults to come to the country's election that is set to take place. on wednesday, the election officials were already facing massive logistic and hospitals to reach voters. and there was probably the biggest democracy, local officials in the flooded area. i have now said hundreds of folding stations in the region have flooded, submerge tons in central java. a few 100 kilometers east of the capitol, jakarta,

thousands of people have been forced to flee, rising flood watches with norway dry to go. many displaced, people have camped out just above the water line. in the flood water is very high. i've been living here since i was born, and this is the west flood. it reaches the roofs. that's it happens abruptly, so we couldn't save up logan's. i left everything in the house, including my clothes. the water float was so strong to get outside to come in during rainy season and java, that rescue teams on indonesia is most populated. island cannot keep up with the rising water. we don't have enough boats to evacuate people last night when we were collecting residents rather though to flip those on because it was too crowded. so i was actuation if it's have

shortcomings, like this. not to mention of volunteers who are exhausted. these are the challenges the floods add to the logistical hurdles. facing indonesia is upcoming presidential election. more than 200000000 versus a set to go to the polls on wednesday of the country is spread out across the vast archipelago and 3 times our ins election officials were already facing issues like access to remote areas, threats of cyber attack and vote. buying rainy season has now also seen polling stations in on days it and voters, it's false to flee, that holds a local official in central java said versioning, there may need to be postponed. adding new obstacles to what is set to be one of the world's biggest ever elections, to africa. now,

where are the cost is celebrating oft as a going? it's sad for got a couple of nations around the f going hosts came from behind and it's feeling fine . they'll against nigeria dot on strike us in boston hollows, betty tay and finish seeing the glory as nigeria and the style strike a big to all see man fan shots. we are africa champions. i've already and celebrate their turn. i've gone title on home, so that's hosting the tournament, ivory coast, where the heavy crowd favorites for the final which is, plays in the brand new stadium and not be john or mexico. thanks for everything to all the people that took part to every country that came up. so thanks for everything back to the elephant. scraped their way up to the group stages after 2 defeats, including a 4 nail rag by equitorial guinea before finding their form and the not good rounds

. but things didn't go the house way and the final the i've already is we're behind after 38 minutes after nigeria, captain william trustee kung hedges, side into the lead. the guardians are resilience. frank has equalized early in the 2nd half of the ivory coast with a powerful head or them at 9 minutes to go. came the fairytale finish for sebastian, holler. it's ivory coast 3rd title after wins in 1992 in 2015. let's go straight to be drawn in ivory coast and john, the samson o'malley samson, the ivory coast. steam of course, is known as the elephants. but at this tournament they've adopt the zombie elephants for coming back from the dead. so often how did they do it? well, it's resilience determination and it never dies sphere. it's that the versions you know, brought to back in the course of these 2 just doing 3 off going on the right. the

sat i've been several times. we've sold them, you know, going into the desk literally as a theme football and then recovery was sold them, you know, even losing for neil to if we sort of get into groups stages. i mean they have to suck the coach, john concert and eventually messing face campaign. and today, while looking at the team who had the brink of being eliminated from the tournament, save for that them. when by morocco, again, some of the, as i brought them back in on today, the ground champions of africa today, the i truly out of the funds because the jump to a subsidies and it goes to as the host of this document as well. of course, how would you say the country did as hosts to well, the country is been celebrated literally by funds visitors, even john, less than even the competition of up again football for stage and a very, very well organized tournament. competitive with what you've had in the past of this tournament has shown that i think i can put up um a, a competition that can,

you know, be well organized. look at transportation, safety, security. i mean, it was not, and we didn't have that kind of control receive that we had in cameroon. and even in other nations carpet i was stage and all the countries and the game on the piece of play you you, you definitely to within the bridge, ask and referees um, looking to add the we'd be happy to do a lot of the matches. yeah, there may be one or 2 calls that we had going suspicious i said where, but the hour had been celebrated as to how it was deployed in this tournament. and of course, the quality of play look at countries that you normally will not celebrate as being b for boy, the nation's coming through a. so it's, it's been a well organized tournament to say that list. and what would you say this will automatically be most, remember for it to be remember, for its drama, eat the leaks of a come box, as well as even as the funds will be known for, it will be remembered for a tournament that threw up many goals. i'm record breaking goals. i said it is

a need to be. it's on a mendo. go into the history book as a having less punts the teams take out the giants of i've can voice the often to renew at the time. being journalist samsung o'malley in be john ivory coast, the home of the f gone and the ask on champions. thanks so much. thank you. direct to american football is a super bowl now. and the kansas city chiefs have defeated the san francisco 49 as to when the 2nd straight national football league championship. they have to come from behind have about san francisco school on a trick play early in the game to seize a 10 point lead. but the cheese then took the game into overtime to the delights of famous ban taylor swift. go quarterback, but pick the homes then inspire the winning drive for the 2550 to find in las vegas

. i'm on that. mark meadows from the the sports is with me even this to do a mock. good morning. a really close game. it was yes. i mean it was only the 2nd ever super bowl to go into overtime and a half time. i've got to say i told the san francisco $49.00 is going to do it. they were by far the better team. but i think the kansas city chiefs given all their experience having one it last year, they've now become the philistine to win back to back super bowls in 20 years. and having been in false false who developed super bowls and the last 5 years, i think old know how is what got them over the line. i mean, patrick, my homes didn't have his best game. actually the kansas city pulled it back. but some of the things you didn't, that last drive are absolutely sensational, and they built them over the line. and he, even afterwards, he admitted the wilson at his very best. but he still got the most valuable player award. if he is talking after the game, i mean it's special. i think it's that championship mindset. i mean,

whatever stuff isn't going great, we're going to continue to fight and i'm just game wasn't. we had times we weren't playing great, especially off. and so we were able to step up to the subtlety a case while defense making those stops, and people to talk about the office we have those last you drive the difference of what type us in that game. and that's our entire season. they're gonna give us chances and we're gonna make it happen when it counts a slice. and therefore, i have to ask you about the dentist. and if it goes down a switched was in the, in the, in the stadium during for her boyfriend, the place for the kansas it is. yeah, yeah. i mean, uh, obviously her romance with travis kelsey, the kansas city type end has been the talk of the nfl o season. she flew all the way from japan to be there. she was on to in japan, but she obviously wanting to, to be there for a super bowl. it almost looked like a bit of a pointless journey given how well the 14 hours were doing. but kind of kept getting a, she's a very well in the 1st stuff, and he'd never had a bit of a rook us with his own coach. he wanted to be in a certain place. he went up 2 steps and sort of bobs discounts and he read. so that kind of summed up how it was going for the season of the stuff,

but he made some great catches in the 2nd house to help them win. and yeah, i mean, she was obviously, there was a fan, she wasn't there to sing. actually, osha was the guy doing the half time show. it wasn't as memorable as last year with, with riana overall. although he did columbus roll escapes at one point and it was a cameo from alicia keys, but it's about 30 seconds long, so it was very short coming up. i'm sure we'll see taylor swift at the half time show in assumable at some point. probably not when her boyfriend is playing, but can we use the dreaded us the dynasty now for the chiefs, i think we can. yes. i mean no team has ever won 3 super bowls in a row. so i think that's going to be the aim. there was some tool that a and you read the coach would retire, but i think he will now stay on in order to try and get this 3 pete waste. no one's ever done and then they really are a dynasty and they will rival the patriots of tunbridge. we live with they have of the time being. things are coming into the studio, meadows from the the sports, the sweat,
