on sunday to monitor garza developments or stephanie drones us live from gaza stephanie talks taking place we hear on what's being described as a possible long term truce it's not the first time we've heard that sort of thing any reason to think this might end differently. absolutely you're right i think it's very difficult not to be skeptical but the political movement the diplomatic movement that we've witnessed over the last two months or so does indicate that something may be different this time you have the u.n. special envoy to the region and all of incredibly involved between the two sides when it comes to also just initially keeping the peace because we've had some serious escalations here that could have tipped into a full scale conflict even though both sides don't want it what we have here today last night sajjan hooty cross now he is a senior figure in how massey is one of their their real chiefs he's wanted by israel and this is interesting it's the first time he returns here in eight years

so he would have had guarantees through egypt that he would not be touched so he's come from cairo negotiations been going on there the egyptians always very much involved in any sort of cease fire with israel any long term negotiations so he's now meeting with the political leadership here on the table as you mentioned long term cease fire and then if that holds initially right away they will try and improve the situation for the people i think this is why we're seeing this intensive. efforts more international efforts a spotlight on the situation because the life of people here has become increasingly difficult over the years under the siege both israel and egypt blockade also sanctions from the palestinian authority in the president a bass cutting salaries to people here life has never been worse jona so i think this is why we're seeing this effort again let's wait and see but certainly all these movements put together you also mentioned that israeli cabinet meeting on sunday to discuss this i think we may expect something but we'll have to wait and see. which we will do indeed and still to come off our. health

eats is next. istanbul the jewel of different and pires centuries of apollo and politics have shaped a distinct identity evident in the people and to food today a new generation of turks a shaking things up the youth tapping into their creativity to give their cultural heritage a modern form. of. food

a mirror of society it brings us together traces divergent histories and opens new futures i'm on a journey to meet food love us around the world and get the inside track then cities through the food they long. istanbul maybe one of the oldest continually inhabited cities around but its face is a young. fourteen million people live in this buzzing city of them under the age of the. food is a major source of employment it powers twenty five percent of the workforce helping many built korea's on turkey's rich tradition.

to be comparable to i love. you as a chef and social media foodie with several cookbooks and a reeky cooking show into her belt repeat cuz made a name for myself through her deep knowledge of turkish food and its history why i'll be at this restaurant because this restaurant is the pioneer of bringing the looks wholly in food. if we consider about the turkish cuisine we can do i just three things one is the how is the ultimate palace food the other one this makes istanbul food with our main ians turkish greeks and that's a truck and the other one is a little told and what is this it's it's very halts it's just fresh for you.

you know you tell me what this is think it looks like stuff great news. this is dried up old regime. and dried her it's all different traditions in the ultimate man's again are many unknowns greek orthodox and also jewish people coming from spain all these cultures are now on top of each other so tell me is there any way that it's known for certain things like seafood coming from somewhere else meat how does it well let's see the region is famous for its come see the small fish and then at the middle it's more on the wheat to time so we are one is twelve thousand years old coming from ca still in the black sea region how do we know it's coming from cars in that region six thousand seven thousand years old and the wheat still has the same wheat so it's amazing i've always wondered who got all. we

have seen is a bread which is actually born in the suit. and tie. made inside the palace than what people liked it so much the first then. all of the told they start to spread. despite that. by making room to try.

and after a taste i want to. show you. this. that i'm just trying to. did it bob about. securing the. music.

all of those i did fall got well looked really up by a couple in the shoals although turned out that she and those you can because you listen to them specifically. liz if you're sick it's to put in a chick to thank all like us only to bring it out of the motors and we need to cut taxes at them as a meal times are more benign michel as you know which a lot of use them because i guess it's actually because on the. same it just so integrity to the turkish diet that it's used as the measure for the cost of living. the ubiquity and popularity of foods such a scimitar and buck leval have turned them into something of a national dish and symbol of turkish pride.

istanbul's where asia and europe embrace the world's only city straddling two continents. the reign of the ottomans heralded a new chapter for turkish society and to screwed. and the imperial kitchen was where it all began. the start of the cuisine that would influence and instruct a nation to send troops. top cappie palace the fulcrum of ottoman power and prosperity. this is where the magic happens the palace kitchen it how is that to that one

hundred members of stuff you know the coax their systems helps to explain why you've got all these giant pots there was such fierce competition not just to get in but to get ahead so these cooks would bring recipes from their own villages their own regions and they also inventing new ones and then affecting them and then trying to one up each other. style the military the cooks were all going i's to do call and companies each with different speciality s. . meanwhile outside counsel walls people absorbing palace cuisine into their own cooking styles creating new customs that continued to evolve. just like the institution of weekend breakfast.

meet car han and use a car could you this young couple has transformed their passion for pre-season and culture into a successful underprice they run from tourists will visit just istanbul and i could explain the traditional turkish breakfast to me. i need. this as a lot of work people have this for breakfast every day well more than ever the d.c. is on a sunday morning just like we are doing now breakfast is. actually true it's coming together. under the coffee so people critically during the autumn period people were critically having is something to

eat so that they could start drinking their coffee that's why it was called under the coffee that name was given. during the alterman empire and at that time because he was quite popular because there was an easy access to do the coffee feel like it was in. it was enough but after the first full second trait was caught it was expensive and it was not a local product anymore so that's why we started drinking tea. she must own a breakfast for a lot of turkish people we can just take off these foods away from the table and still call it a breakfast but if these teas not on the table it's not going to be called breakfast anymore. i will thank you for hot truth it was great thank you so much. you can't understand

turkish proceed without knowing something about this spicy. the ottomans controlled the only spice fruit of the fifteenth century and set rigorous standards to ensure quality. to the exodus and spices such as i dare to suggest continue to hand down their wrist them to the younger generations so what are some of the spices that you sell here to. pull rivers chink poor wee bit in. helpless a large. amount is. that there know there were. up to me a good deal. while in each unit she should live with that. were going to be healed looks to me ching ching should live their lives to love you know . whenever i think of turkish cuisine i think of sumac. to get ear to show

from one. chick in the book. of all the unique names china. now usually when i think of sumac i think of it as the pollards run. so i calls right here. and every nurse. and eat ok. it's like a flower sour very lemony very very fragrant it what dishes do you cook with human . larva. giving shade the opponent will she go to the. who are some of your customers to give you to know i know we can to join a little lunch a modest lot are not large.
