more than 10 palestinians were killed while others were more than 5050. others were being judged and the, the arts are receiving treatment and also a respite to right now during also the last couple of hours, the study of the patient forces intensify the scale and domain of the attacks of the deceased or treat the majority of the attacks victims with young children and women who were to click it and even killed by the ongoing is really fires of the besieged territories, charge all sorts 9th, through more cavities, have seen released. what for the information, do you have about that? yes. the military, when the from us the day has released to a is really do with nationality sold is isn't who, where a cap to during the beginning of this round to find thing between a palestinian fighters and the use of any of the patient offices. those 2 hostages has been offered before for the is that the government to a, to be handed to hand to be handed over to the east,

where the government but the east, where the government firstly refused to uh, to receive and to recept those hostages. meanwhile, this hostages were released due to humanitarian. it's a conditions and humans harry reasons are closing to the military. ringo from us who handle overdues. uh. do some uh, hostages to the pen to send you written across who in turn deliver them to the egyptian side to be likely to transfer to the is there any territories? how does the risk by to assemble, hamden a senior spokesman for him? us about the 2 women has been released. although this right is it's not the respect . what do we have agreed the on and the month for the uh, what was which was uh, discussed. anyway, that shows how is why is i'm not committed to anything. everyone knows that we want to guarantee the safety or for the 2 women. so we ought to stop moment goes at

least for the time to release them, sending them to to that at the cross, and then sending them to the outside. i just saw the visit is enough for the that uh to according to what, what we have agreed on. anyway, it shows that there was clicked on the side that is still a task. and it'd be talking about your con, thrust as a site that it shows how they do not accept the photos those all the time. i think it was clear from the 1st time that we are talking about to the militants, them, and it doesn't solve what this allows. and if you want to talk about that, we have to talk about, but it's not it's not. but we have talked about some of the videos wherever tip doing good sir. and we close it up. those 2 premiums. as gifts,

they are not the hostages. they wouldn't be sent back long. as soon as there is a special conditions, the guarantee that safety must be killed by those violent bung being bucks being killed by the size and all that to say those people to attempt child strap. it is monitoring developments from ramallah in the occupied westbank and send this update on as well as response to the release of those captives. the statement was released by the spokes person for as well prime ministerial office in that statement and said that these really military and security policies had worked hard in the last few days. so old channels to secure this release. they thanked egypt and the red cross. there was no mention of culture as role in this mediation that the low pass is set to cause it was very much involved in, in that effort. and the statement went on to say that they will continue all

efforts to locate all the missing and returned them. and we know what a difficult job that is because we understand that they're all literally kilometers of, of tunnels. in gaza. it is a was on their own going and strikes by is ready for these continued to bomb, bought the strip we interesting. we hugged in the last couple of hours how mass increasing the engine. they think that they would be prepared to handle the civilians, implying that they would keep any is why the soldiers that were captured, but would, with ton is ready civilians and potentially for nationals who own soldiers. if indeed, there was some sort of ceasefire agreed by the ease, riley's, and so far there is no indication as i say, of that happening. let's bring in stevens, soon as he is a professor of middle east politics at the university of san francisco, and he joins us from san francisco. stephen,

thanks so much for being on the program. just firstly, what's your reaction to, to move captives being released and the timing of that release? oh, certainly it's a good thing that any of the hostages were released of whatever the many crimes the israelis have committed against the palestinian people. it is certainly a violation of international law to kidnap the civilians and hold them hostage like this. so for the amount of cherry and reasons it's, it is good that they were released in terms of the broader implications. my sense is that a mouse is using this as a goodwill adjuster, to try to let the israelis know that they are willing to negotiate a israel. of course holes, thousands of political prisoners, the large numbers of them are non violent. and it is a, you know, some of them having been involved in arms struggle. but it is possible that there

could be some kind of prisoner exchange and, and the end clearly, a mazda is trying to avoid, if possible, and is rarely ground assault on the territory. yes, i want to get your thoughts on the ground a. so in just a moment, but just have difficult and protracted on negotiations like this. do you think of these sorts of uh the person who go sions are always difficult. but uh, in this case when given that israel is bombarding the gaza strip, they are not killing hundreds and civilians every day. i mean that is hardly the climate for negotiations. and addition, there are serious questions about whether or nothing yahoo necessarily even wants to sell you the hostages, in a sense that we've seen. and in many cases where israel has put a higher priority on using us as

a decisive and strong use of military force. even if it ends up, resulting in the deaths of a is rarely captives. let's remember that the, the majority of the hostages are people who lived in the cube would seem, endo and, and people who are attending that big music festival. people who live and distribute seen and people who live, who tend to go to raves and those kinds of music festivals tend to be left wing. they tend to be opponents. and that's an yahoo. so if one wants to be cynical, one could suggest that not in the all who doesn't care that much of the sort people who support his opponents are killed. on the other hand though, obviously the as rarely public desperately wants the these hostages return safely. and politically, it would be very difficult to imagine yahoo took uh, uh, to separate his actions that would result in their dest. david was got time for one more question and i wanted to ask you, picking up on what you said earlier,

what role of these hostages playing in the delay of the ground invasion by israel and also how does washington come into play in that respect management quite explicitly that the house just lives with the endanger. if israel does launch a ground invasion of united states though, very strongly supporting israel through vito's in the united nations security council and promises a billions of dollars of additional aid. it has been a trying to push and that's and yahoo to be a little more cautious in the ground and in invasion. and the threats that could lead to a wider war and more casualties. and perhaps to be more flexible and the negotiation process as well. whatever the, by the, by the ministration is doing on this level though, is, is behind the scenes is being done quietly because publicly united states has been us giving a, a nursing yahoo, a blank check and supporting his, his, the, the,

the military efforts of the is really government and the her effect civilian casualties have resulted. we really appreciate your insights. thanks so much for your time. stevenson is a professor of middle east politics of the university of san francisco. of thousands of his riley's have been evacuated from towns along the guys of border as the military bombardment of the strip continues. it comes as is riley forces mass on the border ahead of a potential ground invasion to raise of our reports from a loss in southern israel. floats and now the items for is ready. so we had to see the homes close to the border with the guys. thousands have come here to the city of a lot inside the new swell to escape the war. angel opened homework, seen a dining center nearby, and he's now a volunteer in this distribution center. everyone here working for you guys,

don't mind me. 14 hours a day. everything is the notion that the nation, the, the government didn't gave you the money for the one. the suggestion was not supposed to happen. i from the beginning i didn't believe in this government a lot to some of the shows of the red sea at always destination that is now providing shelter to people from the community is affected by how much up to over 7 attacks and as well. hotels here working at full capacity, the government says that more than 200000 people have been told to leave their homes across as well. and there won't be enough rooms for everyone if the ground invasion worse since the situation. a lot is overwhelmed with people evacuated from other parts of the country. that's why the local government is setting up a plan to build a tent, 5460000 people. this could be one of the locations that would have a medical facility, but also a school in case the conflict continues to escalate. illegal shakeela came from

shaft goma, near the border from guys. she says palestinian fighters did not enter her community because they were stopped at the entrance. she's now here trying to help children cope with trauma. to feel it, i do something for someone is beneficial lives because they are a different on the site all day and look at the tv and then yours and instagram and and i went to some because we need continue. i don't know how, but we need continue. just like millions of people, she was deeply shaken by the attacks more than 2 weeks ago. i want to believe in face, i believe in the face, but now i don't know if it's possible because i'm feeling like it's asked for them . and so i don't know what was but something needs to change. israel has already moved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tags to the board

a week as a head of a planned ground invasion. people here say they don't know why that's not happened yet. they're getting ready for the next stage of the war city. so i'll just see that a lot saw the nice ro still ahead on algae 0 will show you the subterranean spaces where ukrainian civilians can stay safe from home. that's me, the the, the highlight of the sky so elastic, clear across the good parts of east asia. now nice to get rid of high pressure. so shuffled with a good deal of sunshine, the highest of the level in the atmosphere. so the blue sky sparkling sunshine, just go through the day to start the sun, but it's essentially a lot of fine and dry weather for the time big. we will see sickening catches

making its way in from the west. as we go through the lat deposit, choose the into wednesday, and that will bring some heavy, a spouse of freight into those central pos, could cause a little bit of localized flooding further, know if it stays 5 and try to back. what's a good part of the trip it into the into japan wanted to shout was a possibility of a sort of hold to kinda when she shouldn't be too bad. having said that, part of the show was meanwhile, across the south east asia, we got the usual accomplish that was around in the chart of the philippines, things and picked apples. big pulls, of course, at west the side of polio and much needed right now. spinning it across a good area of indonesia over the next day, or 2, plenty of rain coming into the northeast of india, right? but the next day or 2, this developing system may well turn into a named storm. it'll push them very heavy, right in up into a bundle with dish possibility, the likelihood of flooding coming through here affecting me admire as well. meanwhile, the stage went this for lanka. the

coveted beyond well taken without hesitation and died for power defines how well we live here. we make the rule, not them, they find an enemy and then they try and scale the people with that in people in power, investigate, expose this and questions. they use them to be the power around that one out there. the the

other you what challenges here on emily and when he's reminder about top stories this our mon palestinians have been killed and wounded. and these riley strikes on guys are in the past few hours in the notes of the strip strikes, hit the shots in, giovanni, a refugee camps. there's been a total power blackout at the largest hospital in the north, after e ran as a few. and the military wing, those come us says it has released to more captives held in gaza in a deal mediated by catoosa and egypt. washington, meanwhile, has accused a run of actively facilitating attacks on us forces in the middle east, as well as supporting homeless and his belong. seems wednesday at least 5 record and drawing attacks of targeted 3 rocky military bases with american troops. his stations she had pretends he has more on that pentagon briefing from washington dc . a real concern was expressed by a senior defense department official. i'm a senior military officer as

a brief the media about the potential for regional spillover. specifically, they were concerned about iraq and they said there's a significant threat of escalation in the near term of the recent upside and a tax against us assets in iraq and syria have quite the fingerprints of their own all over them. they said that the efforts bye, around and around and proxies, and that was to escalate the conflict. what's of no other purpose than to increase the instability caused by the islamic states in the region, the message seeming to be erodes. and i, me, is also the, as i make state so therefore don't give them the advantage. in addition, the us defense official. so the only reason us troops were in iraq and syria where to combat the is nomics states, which is interesting because in 2019 donald trump wild president. so the, the only reason us troops were in syria was to take its oil. she ever town see out

is there a washington runs foreign minister is accusing the winehouse of hypocrisy dosage. barry has moved from the iranian capital, a waiting for minister who's saying i'm, you're up to law. he on made it very clear that he's been making all kinds of efforts on the diplomatic front to try and de escalate the situation, but also bring some kind of resolution to the humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in gaza. the iranian foreign minister said he has spoken to the leader of from us as well as the jihad over the past 24 hours during which the men discussed the ongoing conflict. and uh, the 2 policy men way to be very clear that they understand this could be a long haul at this conflict, and they are ready for the long fight. they renew for administer. also, for the 1st time, as said that iran has been receiving messages through a 3rd party from the united states, urging the radians to show restraint as well as to exert their influence on the

various groups in the region for them not to escalate the situation. but the for mr . made it very clear that these groups are independent of wrong and they act of their own solution. he also said that the hypocrisy that the united states has displayed has never been more evident. he said they're talking about us showing self are spread strange when they themselves have been supplying weapons for the past 2 weeks to israel and also moving the worships closer in this region. he had the following message for us presidential biden, hosting, i'm your up to law hand says, how can you talk, how can you say that they, you don't want that expansion of this war? and now i'm saying to buy it and stop your hypocrisy. those words from the foreign minister. he also said that he has been meeting with the russian foreign minister here and there on a certain level of, during which the, at the meetings he talked about, a china as well as russia using their veto power at the security council to prevent the united states from passing through any kind of

a security council resolution uh on to the ongoing war, a gaza door support. ultra 0 to hong a residence in southern 11 on living. close to the border with israel said the area is being transformed into a was on that's is finding escalades between east rouse me. i'm here ronnie. and back to the group. his paula ali hashem sent this report from southern living on the sounds of only a few people are left in this border village. the pictures of commander is now dead gift testament. the previous was here. my head is a retired military officer and has witnessed several conflicts. he says he has many reasons to stay. oh no, i bet the this is my land. i was born here. i won't leave it. whatever happens. i live through many wars. my family is in be root, but i'm not leaving. overhead is 80 years old. she lives with her husband,

who's on west coast out of course, she says they don't have the energy to leave the you know, where am i to go? my sick husband is inside all home with me along the 120 kilometres of border between 11 and then as well. know where for people to take proper shelter and then attack no warning sightings. i don't know how the doing it. what government do we have there is none the only know how to move the country. we are left alone as one race. much like the few people left here. these cheap make use of the fleeting moments they get each day to venture out and find 2. between the one exchange of fly, i no longer attends. com. that's the allows people left in the board, the towns to move around. but then the sound of tones breaks the silence. a signal of another round of funding followed us in the center of an unpredictable

conflict. people he, i can only hold 8 to an end. so anyhow, i shall measure 0, south lebanon. the dodge prime minister, mac rotate, has called for humanitarian pause to allow the flow of 80 to garza. he made the appeal during a visit to israel and palestine, or to abdel how made spoke to him in ramallah in the occupied west bank. they get an indication that israel was willing to increase the monetary and it was willing to get in at least i could fuel that is so much needed. at least it goes to the impression that they are very much looking into this that you understand the request. that's also to make sure that we keep the hearts and minds on boards. to find this how most rich is crucial for israel when you want to change the search and on presenting an escalation to do is a promotion it. this is our set to be even as you all are just a giant,

the military giants in, in region show it has to do is work with a measuring of constraint. and when you discuss that, the use position with the prime minister is real and it is shift professionality. what's the response? well, when i, 1st of all i cannot judge because of course i'm worried, but i cannot judge. but at the moment, uh yes or no, israel is completely working within the lines for personality and international human though human trainable, i cannot use it because i do not know all the effects on the table. this of course, is up to a sort of at this moment to navigate, but i've very much test the points and the practicality of that, just the human and cherry and access. the practicality of that is presenting vision, explanation, the practicality of that taking out the hostages, and then for an extended practicality is to do everything. and this, the main issue of preventing innocence, cecilia is to be, to be, uh,

kills. uh, it's not necessary. the hello, are you watching elgin's 0. let's bring you some of the days of the world news and tech. he is president ridge of time. the other one has officially submitted sweden's, 9 time membership application to the turkish parliament. it could bring it in to a 17 month stand off in july, or the one agreed to put the rep to vacation of sweden's membership before his parliament in the face of growing international pressure on the us has welcome them or even says it hopes the bill is passed as soon as possible to your crime. now, when there was 17000 people in the town of our kids, the foldable now there's just a few hundreds. the remaining residents spend the days underground. the many cities built using insect, connective basements, same as robbie reports,

in town after war ravaged, health revel fill the streets. people what strong homes bear the scars of war. ghost towns near the front line. they may seem abandoned, but the home of a generator, people talking reveal life is carrying on under ground. so as you can see, with being shelled constantly, we tell people not to stay outside in groups enough. they should stay in doors will come here. people are living in other basements around the city for that not as safe as this one. offering public services all be at scale down is about preserving dignity. something more strips away for a moment to reflect, brings back a memory of a friend. he says. facebook who died exactly one year ago to the day. this is one of the only buildings in town that still has running water, which means there are hot showers. and over here, there is

a fully functioning laundromat service. and if you walk into the next room, it's an entertainment space and it has a mixture of cinema. there's books and music. there's a store where you can get snacks and hot coffee. all of this is quite impressive. it's more than just creature comforts. here. it is a luxury considering where just about a kilometer from ukrainian transpositions, a little bit of normal life in the middle of one place to see friends get rations, a hot drink to get and give help, to avoid being alone in the worst of times. to be honest, i cried in what remains of my apartment. i had to live there. i had friends, i had family, of course is not dimension, but it was mine right now. i'm like a duck with the back in the field. here was people i forget about that and they 2 people say they are used to living near the front line. but the sounds of shelves

never stops being scared. in a place like this, every life comes precious force which even the local animal shelter is still open for business, still treating sick pets. but everyone here knows all road south lead to russian positions to danger. and simply to remain is to resist the same bus robbie. oh, to 0. who do i pull you? ukraine? southern jeffers are region or have been confrontations between police and hundreds of striking 5 fighters in northern spain, cruise or working national passed across springs. felicia province had been on strikes of 4 months. they demanding better pay and working conditions were turning down to a coverage of the war on guns that are in elgin 0 is corresponding unit l. seed has been documenting her life and gone to susie. after 17 days of his riley strikes the noisy heath, ralph of video diary is from his riley drawings overhead. sounds that now follows

guys a residence every with a go. hi, i'm eunice senior. i'm still in garza city with my family yesterday regarding lots of we're new calls and a lot of the flex like these, the trade trusts on us in our neighborhood, in our street here. and uh they basically said that uh, being in gaza that remaining you guys, a city of our lives, the caesar's taking you to are in the streets of goals, which is very close to by street here in my neighborhood. and everything looks so and she could barely see people in the streets. this area used to be a very densely populated area. i believe this is your house just opposite.
