a release of to hostages on the table, but both sides from us and is ro have not been able to agree on such an agreement yet, tanya, it must be an incredibly emotional day for his release. and in particular for the families of the freed hostages. how is this all being received in israel as well? i think as you said, you know, i think it's ro is randy's have been deeply traumatized by what happened on october 7th. and especially the issue of the hostages at the time over $240.00 hostages. where are being taken to gaza. there was one release in november of a $105.00 hostages at the time that came as a result of an agreement between homos and israel. to release those hostages, there was a short a ceasefire and doc broke down. and since then, and that has been several attempts to reach again,

such as these fibers would also be very important for the civilian population. of course uh in dogs that with the deeply difficult uh, do you mind to turn situation there. so this has been, you know, an agony for people here. and there's a lot of joy today, especially this comes of the week where i talked also to relatives of hostage from these i've been saying, you know, we think, you know, disagreement that's now on the table. this seems to be the last tens on monday for hostages. where the cloud dead by the army, that there remains a still in garza. so there was really this feeling nothing really moves. and so this is really good news. so many is very nice today to see those 4 hostages rescued. and tanya is, we've just reported him, us health authorities say more than $200.00 palestinians were killed and those is really strikes in the central gaza. what more can you tell us about this? a yeah,

these are the latest figures that came out from the ministry of hopes there in gauze are the 200 and people were killed and over 400 injured now. we got the 1st reports of those very intensive is strikes and an operation going on in new, so route around noon time. and that is also been the 1st reports came that many injured arriving at one of the last hospitals that's actually still working in the fall off, which is which selves of a new sit out with, you know, medical sources. they're saying they're totally overwhelmed for the influx of injured people. now we also have seen of footage that circulating on a social media report and the showing the optimal off of what happened in mister ross. so we also heard from the army uh, in this pricing uh they have said that they have seen a lot if there was a lot of shooting industry. it's a lot of government assisted with

r p g in those allies that have said they have seen that of bodies there as well as they put it. and they have a set, you know, it, some also put those hostages in the civilian area. but of course it is, of course, a contrast what you're seeing here, you know, the devastation that is happening or has happened there in new serat. it's an area where a lot of it's a very crowded area. a lot of people have no, again, had to relocate where origin or came from the north of casa to the south of casa, took off, and they now, as we're seeking, show to again and send to a gaza after the offensive started on the golf. so it is a really devastating a situation that and very contrasting pictures images coming from there and of course, and coming from israel now with the joy of those hostages that have been freed often more of 8 months and come to the to kind of kramer reporting for us from jerusalem, tanya, thank you. as always,

or or french president amount of law cronan joe biden has welcome the return of 4 is really hostages. rescued from gauze them, meeting in paris, the 2 leaders said they would stop efforts to reduce tensions in the middle east, including between israel and has the law and 11 on. they both underscore the need to provide continued assistance to ukraine as well. 5 and warren, that russian president vladimir putin would not stop it. you cream, you know, you know, put it back on, stop it, ukraine. it's not just you credit is about much more than your credit. all of your will be threatened. we're not gonna let that happen. in the united states is standing strong with you cried, we're standing with our allies and we're standing with friends. nobody is sonia found a car joins us now from paris for more on this. so good to see you. sonya. what else did biden and my crown to talk about during their meeting? and what was the main takeaway for me uh, some of those splits statements that present vital uh, bite and,

and my call me today in paris is, was gonna be a message of unity and sort of deputy between upfront some of us and indeed all of you or when it comes to supporting your claim, that was the main message. i'm really providing you created with all the necessary weapons and resources of deeds in order to kind of business that option. the ongoing russian invasion, which is now with its co dealer. and as we heard the press byte and made the point that this is really not just about ukraine, but it is really about the entire security of your which is tightened by, by this kind of ongoing invasion. and this is a message that president biden has repeated and recent these in front of both has commemorations to mock the issue of i'm the 3 of the dd landings in normandy, but also when he met a decree and present into prolong misa lensky in paris yesterday. the message being a cool, so be with, you know, when stay the course and was done by you create and put the wrong horse, he unplugged the importance of defending freedom and democracy any also we have found, you know,

the us has committed to the concept logic relationship as to the nature of defense alliance. what we also heard from the 2 leaders today was also strong affirmation of, of ties between the 2 nations. pressing biting said these plays that kind of hooted in strong shared values. uniforms is often called the oldest ally of the us, the diplomatic ties that bind these 2 countries, really dates back to the american revolution that he will in the 18th century and the alliance during world war 2. and this is something that the president biden to refer to today and his press statement. and now sonya, we know that in the past there had been some tension between these 2 leaders. was there any sign of that in their meeting this time around? are willing to push the level um the 2 leaders are set to enjoy a really kind of woman frank relationship and i think that was very much on display to the both you know, during the work instead of many i'm a different breed

a the show that easy in central powers and also in their kind of meeting just before the press conference where we, when we got some protect of the 2 leaders you know, sitting together. but of course, you know that despite those, those kind of warm relations and doesn't mean that the 2 liters you don't when we see eye to eye on, on. if we paint putting something when it comes to you creating a present. macros calls for potentially, you know, stationing french troops and ukraine has gotten a pretty falsity reception from the, by the administration. press, inviting, has expressed concern that if there is an attack on faithful says by russian troops, it could lead to much wider escalation. the 2 also don't really see eye to eye when it comes to the, to the one that was going on. it was a and a particular point of cation, of course, is the economy and being patient function, asked our boss with us into the top 2022. sonya of conic are reporting for us from paris. thank you so much. then marks
