remind him of germany stock as the russ alex scarce to thank you for the update. turning now to our other top story, a last delegation has arrived in egypt to resume the gaza. choose talks. the negotiations in cairo involved the us, cotter, and egypt the talks are taking place as israel threatens to launch and offensive on the city of rasa to pursue a mock militants. it holds responsible for the october 7th terror attacks. some 1500000 palestinians are taking refuge in the southern city, the u. n. and the us have warrant against the operation. the two's proposal 6 to held fighting and exchange for hostages for posting and prisoners. the earlier we asked middle east expert daniel garrett, lack for his analysis and expectations. here's what he had to say. i think this is probably the last chance that with this consolation with involvement of egypt

caught in the united states a hostage deal could be negotiated to nothing. but it's clear for everyone, the americans have put into huge, have invested heavily, and you put huge pressure pills on these really side. i've heard from the egyptians that they have also changed their pasta on how much they have. uh, of course, always uh, been very critical of how mazda and, uh, and also those, the pressure. but uh, what they have been doing in the recent days is quite of the president. we see we've seen the head of egyptian national intelligence of us combo travel to israel . now we have the most allegation in cairo. so i think everyone is very much serious about the proposal. however, previously the negotiators have observed that whenever they came very close to a deal on both sides as the categories that these really have the homicide sabotaged it. and i think this, there is, there's great expectations, but also a high degree of frustration. now they're talking about numbers, apparently the number of hostages, the even a tearing situation of the hostages. what is important now is that they choose some

sort of a deal to prove that the mechanism still works. and i asked dw correspondent, tonya kramer in jerusalem about the outline of this deal as well. we have to be very careful with out. of course, no official outline has been published as negotiations are ongoing, but in recent weeks to have been you know, reports and all over, always based on names sources that, that give us a kind of idea how such an deal would look like. now in the 1st phase, that could last up to 4 to 6 weeks, we could see the release of up to 133 hostages in exchange for yet to be determined, raised 2 of palestinian prisoners of the health and is rarely prisons. and of course, in exchange for a temporary c, sorry. and then this talk about a 2nd phase, where basically more of the hostages, the living hostages would be released as well as the bodies of those hostages that

are no longer alive, as well as that during these, you know, weeks then in this 2nd phase, that would be some sort of talks on going about a permanent or sustainable calm. but of course all this means the devil he is in the detailing. we have to wait until you know, the agree on a deal and receive a deal being published over the past 6 months. we've seen so many attempts to make a deal is this time different? and if the current deal on the table falls, what does this mean for the war? i mean there's a lot of pressure on all sides. we've just heard it and he, and it's very, it was a waiting period this week because all week there was the sense that, you know, the, the waiting for the response a by him off to the latest proposal. and we're seeing the headlines. he's saying it's either a hostage to you or an operation into off off, and that was, you know,

as being the last opportunity here by some of the analysts. now of course, this is also meant to be a pressure tool by the is really government to uh, bring him us to agree to such a deal, but we understand major sticking points remain. i'm us wants to see. commitment is rather of a full withdrawal from gaza by its forces, as well as the return of all the residents that have been displaced to the south, back in the north, to the homes of what is left of it. and also, of course, a permanent end to the war, and this is something that is really tough not really agreed to. and we've heard from mr. ben, you mean that on you? i was saying again and again that whether or not that is a deal, an operation rough estimate happened the w correspondent, tonya kramer, thank you very much. i, a tens, anita, and kenya are on alert as a topical side, clone approaches, coastal areas, areas and tons. and you have already been hit by heavy rainfall and the strong

winds. authorities have warned residents to take caution as the intensity of the approaching cycle today at inc. sky bonds or activities, they bond seats out of the bond. uh, beats uh, beats activities in the bundle, in my number of activities. either course, just to ensure that you add these very lead to the or no casualties. i told you with regards to visa, both of metro logical departments and cannot ending. since i know i've been sending timely updates to the citizens, to advise them on travel and other related activities around the course, lines of doris alarm and uh, the costs of can you. it sounds like a lot of activity. this region has been saddling torrential rains for weeks. how serious is the situation at this moment? well, the situation is being really bad. uh, for instance, in kenya about 200 people have. so if i died, hundreds of thousands have been displaced in pennsylvania,

150 people have died. uh, quite thousands of them have been displaced down in but on the, on that, that 2 people have died at the same situation on it. so yeah, you've done that in florida, and so just tell you how dire situation easiest i did during a televised address by then by the can president, president, to the router said that these no parts of the country that i've been spared by the sidewalk. that's how dire situation is being used. felix moving to in narrow b. thank you so much for joining us and stay dry. just a quick look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. 14 people have been killed in a landslide and flooding on indonesia. still away sea island, according to the country's disaster management agency. torrential rain over several days triggered the land slide, which also affected over a 1000 homes. over 100 people were evacuated and italian n g o says it has rescued 87 people from a boat in the mediterranean sea,
