heard that separately from israeli minister, talking to a national radio station earlier on today. so as far as that goes, that's where that's at. and the egyptians, obviously as human to say we're also involved in that. we're also hearing as well by that brief. this might be a political opportunity, israeli official site for some sort of prisoners. what but not necessarily with islamic g, have what we were just talking about. but actually with mass that they noted mass, which is the real ruling powering, does not islamic jihad stayed out of this round of fighting yesterday. that was what we were talking about through the day. if i'm asked to go with it, then things were sure to escalate the mass, decided not to do that. and he's alarming officials a telling these trust journalists for them, that this might be a political opportunity. diplomatic opportunity with thomas at least as far as prisoners walked and things like that are involved and they do want to move things

food in that way. apart from that, the moment the see far is just about the few, the medicine, the food. it's not the moment about work is that hiding from god's into israel. this 14000 work is in god's about have permits to work into israel. and that's a huge thing for the economy and gaza, obviously to the families and extended families of these people to 1000000 people, obviously living in gaza. a lot of them in a bad economical situation. what israel has said about that is if the situation remains calm, they haven't put a time on this. but if the situation remains calm, then the crossings will be opened up as well to those workers we have to see when and if that happens going forward. john holeman reported from western william john, thank you. is early forces, meanwhile, have demolished palestinian homes during a raid in the northern occupied west bank. bulldozers accompanied by israeli forces

mama, debbie shouldn't stand for reelection or a ton of assets. you have to reconcile the competition, right? we even between the, the opposition i ribbon, we were because why the might be for me. and if i position you have about for you in, in the process into the draft agreement is meant to pave the way for a national dialogue later this month. and the new constitution, chad has been locked in internal conflict for city decades. edris debbie came to power in 1991 in a military coup and served as president until his death last year. fighting among alms group has hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. when his father died, 37 year old mohammed debbie took over as president and heads the 15 member transition military council with his creditors with bringing rifle militia to the negotiation table. but the absence of some of the main opposition figures from the signing on

monday rekindles doubts about the sustainability of the deal. chad is one of the poorest countries in the side and with decades of drought and armed conflict, it is an urgent need of stability. there is an air of her happiness and optimism here among the delegates with me here is fuddled. hussein he's going to, he's from the national council for reform. he's one of the 42 organizations or groups that have signed this agreement. and he says he's happy. why are you happy? what's different about this agreement? because this piece agreement, there is a lot of international committed involved to observe all to, to quinn, to, to continue to see where the piecing chart so thus wise, a lot of delegation is yesterday. i 1st of all, the united nation african unions and countries around the child, the all the came here today to see the peace or agreement. that's why today we are

very happy where it was domestic and then for the uh huh. did use debbie. he's will came over he, he came here already, to see all the political, her movement hears to, to say, to appreciate them to sign the piece agreement. seems not, not all chaldeans are ready for peace because some of them have not attended this ceremony today. and they have not signed one of them is one of the most active groups in shot military. yeah, the peace agreement is still open and none is still open for everybody to conjoin in the peace agreement in the future. so we urge and then today i urge everybody to did inside. and then because this is a sure agreement for the child in, so anybody he did his eye and he will continue to sign the or the, or the, the disagreement is open. so for aren't you consent? not one of the main factions, an armed function, very active in the country, has not attended and has him

a planet. so that is the hesitation for the fact. so because they stay here for 5 months through to negotiate with the child elements that i have the optimistic they are welcome in the future, to signs with peace agreement of the joints is this agreement. so that's why you know, like all the chad in government is still the half or the demand for everybody and outside the country will come and then to join the piece. like you so much father seen from the national council for reform. so basically, the 42, a groups that have signed, disagreement they, they say they are very optimistic, they said this is the biggest, the biggest gathering and the biggest deal of its kind of chat has seen chad has signed dozens of similar deals in the past. but they said this is the greatest and they said it's time in charge. everybody in chad is titled of war is cited of conflict. and they believe that with the help of cut out on other countries and the u. n. and the, and that the african union,

and because the chaldeans are ready for peace now and tired of war, they think this agreement will last still ahead on al jazeera leave the image that most people assume he left leg is april. columbia's 1st lester's president is sworn in before thousands of cheering supporters in bogota. ah, the journey has begun the fee for world copies on its way to the castle book. your travel package to day. hello, temperatures are gonna be ramping up once again across western and north western parts of europe. over the next couple of days, we have high pressure in charge, and we are going to see those temperatures getting up into the low, maybe to the mid thirties into northwestern. partnerships and not the heat that we had in july, but still plenty warm enough. the reason for the temperatures not getting quite as
