well, people pay attention to the deal is very good. the bringing the news to the world from here, the holding the powerful to account was we examined the us role in the was on out your 0 the, [000:00:00;00] the hello i'm 0 venue. it's good to have you with us. this is elza 0 light from the also coming up, the 1st group of palestinian women and children to be released from prison under the mazda israel's. the supplier deal are set to be freed at any time. now. is really military helicopters are on their way to pick up the captives were being released by hamas, into egypt,

through the roof of crossing this coming 9 hours after a ceasefire came into effect between israel and hamas following 48 days of a lift, less bombardment of gauze palestinian families are trying to return home, but the is really army has been stopping them going to northern gaza. during the ceasefire. the it is $1400.00 gmc, that is 4 pm and israel and the occupied palestinian territories were the 1st groups of palestinian prisoners and his really captives are due to be released. is really military helicopters of flow into the egyptian side of the roof of crossing . ready to receive the 13 women and children who will be ended by home, us to the red cross before being taken to egypt. us. meanwhile, israel is transferring palestinian prisoners out of prison into

a detention center near ramallah in preparation for the release of women as part of this deal in guns at the beginning of the 4 days. east fire has provided much needed relief to palestinians who have lived under near constant bombardment since october. the 2nd that we have a team of correspondence keeping us across all the developments as the ceasefire deal progresses. and we're going to start, we will be going to gaza shortly. charles stratford though is a oh for present south of ramallah in the occupied west bank, where we are expecting $39.00 palestinian prisoners to be released. charles, can you set the scene for us? what have you seen in the run up to this this informal deadline for prisoners to be released? or yes, you join us here behind me. you can see the all for a detention center which is where we expect these palestinian prisoners to be

brought. and then to be transferred into the occupied territories on the fire check point further into the occupied territories. this prison is the only use ready prison inside the occupied territories. there are a lot of people of camera who have gathered to watch this event happen. we'd be speaking to a number of the families also who are down to the low position, closer to the guy uses. you can imagine they now a number of them that we've spoken to go back. she's saying that their loved ones names on this list of the 39 to expect you to be released. and you can imagine they're all over joy. with this news, however, they were all psalm who had come down because the publication of this list of these ladies making it public, only this morning, many people came down on the alt johns that they loved women's well going to be released have subsequently found out that they're not on the list and the, it's a pointy but there is a, a general feeling that install

a diety waste because it is with palestinians in garza that, you know, ultimately is the spot seems to be holding. i'm, they're all going to be people released into the occupied territories, these prisoners, these the g 9. but people will tell you that a lot of the joy, they personal stories that happened is incomplete because they know that these causes is a long way from over. just, you know, this is that this is the 1st day of this potential full day c spy. and so much could go wrong. the atmosphere, as i say, is relatively calm here, although we have had some tear gas 5 in the last sort of 15 or 20 minutes. some of the use hunting started is tools. these ready positions at the bottom of the hill, but yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out. we're here in local ripple, certainly local media reports. one of the main is riley television channels. they're reporting that the release of these,

the t 9 palestinian prison is may not happen until 8 o'clock this evening, which is a good, well, 4 hours or so away from now. so, you know, it's another indication of that being so many questions that are on onto the as yet a charles fine, i'm glad you said that because i was going to ask you to give us as much granular detail about how this release is going to happen. this release of palestinian prisoners and just wants to set expectations for viewers. as you mentioned, we don't know, we don't have a set time for when this is supposed to happen. what we know with the context of this, is it the mediator for this deal, which is good. tar. told the world yesterday in a press conference, a mazda is supposed to release 13 captives at 4 pm local. it is now 4 o, 5 local. and after that, these release will release the palestinian prisoners, but there isn't a set time for the is released to do that. so with all that is context, what do you expect to see? do you expect a door to open and, and prisoners to walk out?

what exactly do you anticipate? what were you i'm piece of paper is what we've seen. we've seen video of bosses we understand containing some of the $39.00 prisoners female prisoners leaving is riley giles to and so the noise. okay. inside israel and those pictures i suppose started airing a couple of hours ago. and we expect those buses to arrive at the facility behind me. and eventually, for the prison is to be released by a check point that is being manned at the bottom of the hill by the is riley miller tree. we understand certainly according to these by elizabeth, every one is ready to be kept cheaper. at least 3 palestinian prisoners will be released. so ratio of $1.00 to $3.00. and that's why we built 1398 in ferry being released in the coming i was as against the teen is riley captives. but

as to how these plays out of it, a lot of questions remain on on. so then it is a ok, you can imagine of concern here to families that a way to those families, at least that have seen the names of the loved ones on this list for potential release. today it is a concern to them to now start hearing that this could well be potentially delayed and it's going to be very dog by 8 o'clock tonight. what the security situation will be like a hot that. so i'm is difficult to tell as well we know that the is right, the military have been sold um to that they should be no celebrations in the occupied territories amongst palestinians. and when we st. personal relations in the pasta, as you can well expect, they're all, they're all set operations. people come out on the street to just center, but it's not released. but of course, this is in the context of the war on garza and there is so much that could go wrong . so it's very difficult to predict in any way

a strict so solid to timeline as to how events will play out. but as i say, there is great expectation here that in the coming hours we will see these 1st search email. and it was expected to potentially be a $150.00 palestinians released from is ready to giles charles. i want to ask you, who are those people who are going to be released because you said the families have now seen the names of those will be released then just before you just before you address that, you answer that question. i want to let you know that we now have eyes on the scene outside over prison. this is in the occupied westbank. and this is where you've been telling us. we're expecting to see those 39 palestinian prisoners released at some point. whether it's now, whether it's a pm that's 4 hours from now, we're not sure that's what we can see. we have eyes on it. what do you know about the identity of the people who will be released as well? these all women and miners, these,

all of all we understand mainly main under the age of 20 and some of the families that we've been speaking to, for example, um and we spoke to the father of uh, of one of the female prisoners who he now knows is potentially going to be released today. she has been in jail for 8 and the hall is the father said that the, you know, he hasn't seen her since 2015. so that gives you an example of the, the very strict regulations and limitations. how would possibilities full pilots still use to go into ways royal and visits? family members who are being taken prisoner. and let's remind you, is this around 8000 palestinians in israel, the jails least 3000 of those. i'd be interested since october the 7th since those attacks by how much so we've seen these 2 jessica relation in these riley military rides in the occupied territories in recent weeks. and yeah, you know,

that amounts to almost half the amount of prisoners inside is very jails having being taken. so since outside, with the same as what we also know though, is that none of the people on this list have been taken since october, the 7th. these are prisoners, we understand that were taken prisoner by these varieties before those have us attacks. it was an interesting kind of touching by having spoken to uh, another family member whose son we understand is on that list a 16 year old boy. the father saying that his son only had one more month to serve and, and he's really gyal and he was concerned. he said that he would have been perfectly happy. he and the family, if his son had remained in jail full, that extra one months. so somebody who has served a long time in his ready prison could be released today to charles

stratford reporting there from just outside the o 4 facility. you're looking at the live picture right now outside that facility where we're expecting the palestinian prisoners to be released. you're seeing dozens of palestinian family members several cars as well. so this scene right now which is playing out in real time is just 10 minutes past 4. local time in the occupied westbank is showing you palestinians who have come to the for prison, to in the hopes of a great thing. their family members, their relatives, if and when they are released from this is really the detention center i should say, the security complex because several of them we saw earlier, women especially were taken from a prison in haifa, driven to this location and over. and this is where they will be released. we don't have an exact time on when this will happen. let's go to tarry. cowboy zoom was in

the han eunice inside gaza for us. sorry. at this stage as we speak, it is 10 minutes past 4 pm. that was the time that we were told from us would release 13 captives via the red cross. the red cross is facilitating this. they are supposed to bring them to a rough. what do you know at this stage? have you heard anything as the world watches? what's going on in gaza? yes, uh so the truth as the ceasefire just took place between full spots. it's casual that how much we release that 15 is ready hostages for it captures, and it's a talk on the 7th of october when these are the settlements. now clearly these procedures and these mechanisms of even handing over these hostages to the power of sending that course and the power steering kristin, who can send it to be playing a very by voting role in terms of delivering those hostages to the egypt to sign. now this is mckenna, simms considered to be hire

a highly secretive for how much movement considered to be the only entity who was responsible for hunting hunting people. but to the uh, to do so many ages. now clearly, how most come to see the raleigh time the right place in order to inform about the indications and even to have them overboard. yet there was no a confirmation had been released by a most political view or even from any source, but known to this movement on the ground that they have the hands of over them to the palestinian writ course. generally these kinds of procedures because it has to be very highly secretive, and stephen be try to hide its details to the latest or the last moments, all the procedures all times in a demo, but to be kind of sending ridgecrest. but it's also important to say that the older responsible entity also will be allowed to announce that is the kind of thing, but 1st off to be hand, think over after they receive those hostages to get it immediately. deliver them to

a rough uh, 2 uh, 2 uh, 2 digits inside the truck listing buddha. and to return, will they bring them back to ease russell off a plain uh to the keys to be even returned again back to the house till this very moment. there was there any information about the release it has had it has been scheduled the gonna be transferred to the palestinian ridgefield slates that to be taken back to their homeland uh, to their uh, to their, to our treat. israel tarik. as you speak, it is 13 minutes past the top of the hour for pm local time, which is the time that had been given by the can. tori mediators for homos to release those captives. you explained how the red cross is supposed to be facilitating. this is one element that i want to make clear to our viewers part of the deal is that a moss would get what we're calling clear skies, meaning these relays are not operating their drones and their surveillance. can you explain that why that is? and whether it to the best of your knowledge,

it is happening right now. yes, as i told you, and the fast, trusting that these issues because it can be very secretive. it's how much moment the once the, as many turns on surveillance methods on vehicles which can seems to be mans or a month aerial vehicles, to be completely withdrawn from the sky. the gaza strip in order to afford a very flexible mobility for its a troops on the grounds in order to move and even look for what the uh is. riley hostages work under the russells, as the military folks presence of several gaze had announced earlier of this move that i'm the owner is where the hostages have been also killed them the r p to build them from under the rebels. meanwhile, the process of movement from the ground is very complex, almost 6 that this process and the backend is installed, moving on the ground must be exposed to the east, very forces being afraid of housing, kinds of the brain concerns that use. well, mike targets them on the ground as they did in similar occasions during the war on

the gaza strip. meanwhile, the once it's gary out this operation on the very high standards of security and also to protect its members on the ground and the not to be to be later identified, unplug it by the occupation forces. so a couple assume importing from hun eunice inside gaza, just 15 minutes into this into this hour for pm local time. this is when we are now expecting that we may hear at any point then it could be now, it could be later, it could be a lot later. we may hear at any point as specifically from the red cross that they have succeeded in transferring 13 captives held by home us for the last nearly 2 months. and he'll buy home us and transferred to red cross then to egypt, then back home to israel. so we're obviously keeping it very, very close side on any development there. let's get the view from occupied east jerusalem will re challenge this. there. roy, can you explain to us

a little bit on, on your side, how the mechanics of how this is supposed to work the mediator guitar explained that on their end, they have this operations room that's being run. we assume out of don't all here were there and communications with all sides. what do you know on your it yeah, i mean, the mechanics of the, of the captives release. uh uh, as far as we understand it as follows, this is a price that that is going on as we speak. remember that those captive spice do have to be making their way to the roof of crossing in the last 15 minutes. so sites that is the, the way that this passage is going to go inside of their caps is being given to the red cross. the red cross is taking them across the border at rough uh, into egypt. in egypt they're all for is righty. hadn't called says that a waiting for them and those had to call to is all going to be taking them from

egypt back to his wraps. now we have been given some granular detail moles that hadn't come to a slight steps. the better be noise kinds of things, headphones provided for the children to protect the hearing from the noise of the heading up this, when they get back to israel, they all got to be taken to some senses that are being made ready for them. with clothing weighs uh toys for the kids with medical, attention, psychological events and etc. from there they're going to be going to hospitals 6 different hospitals, most of those in the tennessee area, we understand that even those hospitals, they are going to have the reunification with families and loved ones. that is a process that we expect to be repeated every day. over the 4 days of this agreed deal with list of the caps has to be released, published or to the is raised the night before the caps. it was themselves all released. what happens after that?

we don't know. there is a possibility that the, the cx 5 is going to be extended. the is right, is a dangling the carrot for him ask and basically saying, for every 10 concepts that you release, you can get an extra day policy spot. now how many days of these 5 will we get from that? we don't know rough back of it on the like the calculation, it's better off. the 50 caps is included in the steel. there are a 109 seats. capt saves remaining that we understand. now we can writes off some of those, uh, because they are soldiers, and we don't think that how much would really sold as part of any deals at the company stands there also a about $23.00 ties. i think that might be released. you know, that's really by how much. so let's say there are 50 women and children remaining cost of this 1st $50.00. that will give us maybe maybe another 5 days of, of

a ceasefire. off of that. these right is have indicated that this spot agreement is temporary. essentially what i say is we have to go and finish this job. we will go back to will, we can go back to will. that is going to happen once the si size finish. this is only a temporary truce is more, is not i, but we all still intend on smashing. how much rory, challenge with everything we know right now about the mechanics of this deal. thank you very much. where, where you're reporting from occupied east jerusalem. it is 20 minutes past 4 pm, which was the time when. as of now, we expect we could at any point, see movements on the release of captives from gaza and the release of palestinian prisoners from the inside is really jails. know thailand's prime minister. you heard, where are we talking about tying nationals there that had been held in gauze, thailand's prime minister has confirmed on social media. the 12 type workers who were taken captive by

a must have been released. this has happened on the sidelines of the deal is going to see the release of is really captive and policy and prisoners, policy and prisoners released bank called had been holding separate talks to repatriate about 2 dozen sine nationals taken captive by him. us from southern israel on october, the 7th. as bringing our diplomatic editor james base. james, a lot of moving parts right now. um, i'm just finding out about the time nationals being released. this is, i suppose, this is consistent to some extent with what i'm us with, what we've known about these negotiations which are there are these negotiations between them. us of the main ones. how much is real. i beg your pardon, mediated like a tart between hamas and israel, but they're also bilateral negotiations, apparently, between a moss and other countries whose nationals they're holding. yeah. the country foreign ministry spokesman, when he was giving the details about 24 hours ago of the main deal said this is just

a deal involving is riley captives and potentially is ready to jewel nationals on one side and palestinian prisoners on the other. but we know that there are other nationals involved, and we know that that well, these 23 ties who were taken captive back on october the 7th. now what, what these taught time nationals doing in southern israel, the agriculture workers and a time. and they've been very strongly making the case that they are not part of the conflict that is going on. they just happened to be in the area. they are not rich people, they were doing a pretty lovely job. the in southern israel, the not policies to this conflict and they should be released. and what is interesting is thailand's been trying to get as much support as it can pull that release. and it's been speaking to a country that it has reads me good relations with which is the wrong and the wrong has been doing. we believe mediation on behalf of thailand for these nationals also was given that the, the category channel is the, is the main channel of,

of communication to how mouse was telling you that the right informing us that was here in the hall. in the last few hours, so i think significant, we're waiting for the is right, the captives that are part of this formal deal. but that's going to involve 12 people. i'm sorry, 13 people. we think we've already got 12 people, 12 time nationals released now confirmed by the time prime minister. this is 12 out of 23. of course. we don't know how many of those 23 are still alive, and when the, whether any of the tiny nationals died in, in the 40. so monday's also is ready, bob bob, into casa one. really simple thing. the lesson from, from this latest news, the 12 tie workers have actually been released is that this is somehow working. there is a mechanism we've been talking about. the mechanics of the deal with been explained to our viewers, that this is quite complicated, that there needs to be trust between these 2 sides is real and almost clearly,

there has almost has found a way to release captives when it came to the pine nationals. absolutely, and i was not clear to me yet whether the international committee of the red cross was the facilitators for this, but i think that's probably likely. and they all the, facilitates, we believe of the 1st batch of is riley captives, the 13 that were expecting to be released any time soon. and it's also west telling you here in this news room there are people poring over all of the light fixtures coming from the, from the scene at the moment to see if we see it. and if anyone crossing the border at russell, well, it seems that 12 time nationals across that border and no one. so, you know, i was going to say it's unlikely that we're going to see something on these live pictures. but actually i could be completely wrong. we don't know what to expect, but i mean, maybe maybe a group of captive shows up and, and they're caught on these live shots. we don't know, which is why we're looking at them every, every 2nd. can you explain to our viewers?

can you address the notion of how fragile this is? the reason we're talking so much about the mechanics of the deal is because when the mediator has presented how this was going to work, he was at pains to explain, you know, where we're watching this every 2nd because it could go wrong. yeah, well after the events of october, 7th, and off the everything that's happened since in terms of the intensity of the bombardment, there's absolutely no trust between the 2 central politics here. and so they've had to try and make a plan that would not build trust, but build momentum into the process. and so what you've had is the see spot temporary spot coming into effect. and then this stage process of captives will be released is really captives by how mice. and then also as we're saying now palestinian prisoners released by israel. and if both sides have got something from day one,

then we think they'll be another set of lists prepared for day to with another batch of a people that i hope held by how much would mean children held by a mouse and then another batch of prisoners women and children that are held by israel and ms. riley, jose palestinians, and then day to can go on and it's going to be like this is going to be day by day . they're all obviously very, very concerned about some sort of accidental violation of this. there's some way the, the, the, the, the, the cx 5 will be broken. i can tell you, there is a control room here in doha. the countries are set up real time links, direct links with these riley side with most side, with lines to these right. in the military and of course capital has a direct line to home us as well. the idea being, if there's some sort of problem, some sort of mind new violation that they can try and sort it there and then, and it doesn't becomes something that brings down the whole of this

a con ceasefire full days. and i think many a hoping that this can extend beyond for the services that you were talking about, momentum, the point of a meant them obviously is to go beyond the 4 days. explain that because the guitar and mediators again, were saying this is, this is phase one essentially these 4 days and for as uncertain and as show i'm sure and fault with, with risk and difficulty as they are. the mediators are hoping that this can take us into day 567, and maybe beyond well then you start to have a problem because it's very hard to, to not know how many days exactly. and because, because we don't know, i'm with regard to how mouse and we don't think come us, hold all of the captives in godsa. how many of these captives are alive? so we don't know how many women and children there are in total life, because i have to say once you go beyond the women and children on both sides, the stakes start getting much, much higher, both sides. but what more in return?

and remember the stated position of these riley government backed by the us as well, which is that israel retains its right of self defense after october. the 7th, a new sir. i was making it clear that it hasn't finished with its aims of this war . and that they will be restarting, this will now, could they be persuaded not to do that. my own view is having seen the intensity of the way they prosecute to this will. i think when they say they mean to resume it and they may not. yeah. so far they have fulfilled their problem is when it comes to attacking gaza and, and bringing, bringing unprecedented fire power to bear in this war. thank you very much. james bass options. you're a senior diplomatic editor for joining us over at guitar brokerage ceasefire. deal between the 2 sides came into force at 7 am local time that is 5 am gmc. in other words, 9 and a half hours ago, there has been no reports of fighting and the hours after the troops began to deal

offers some relief. for guns is 2300000 people who have enjoyed weeks of is really bombardments. michael apple reports for the 1st time in 7 weeks, the sunrise of a guys, a headed different sound scale. the silencing of the guns has brought with its mixed emotions. i have nowhere to go back. so even if they allow us to go back to the house, my house was bombs and completely destroyed on the 3rd day of the war. at the same time, i'm happy for those uh, people who lost a loved ones or who loved ones are missing. at least they can go pick up the pieces and try to search for the loved ones. many bodies are still buried under the rubble . the non stop is really a tax, means paramedics and teams of volunteers, one able to retrieve that. because the health ministry estimates nearly 15000 palestinians have been killed. the un says more than 80 percent of the population

has been displaced. here in beta here in northern garza, the stench of death hangs heavy in the air. some families take advantage of the poles and it strikes to go back to the huns. o, what's left of them? the photo is forced to move south, so there is no option of retaining the ceasefire also offers the injured an opportunity to seek treatment at hospitals in egypt during the 4 day period is rel, is expected to free $150.00 palestinians detained in its presence in return, how much will release 50 is randy? woman and children held captive since the october the 7th attack. how my says it's also prepared to release caption is really soldiers, but on one condition. well, these are to deal with this on the think we, we are and also thought spokesmodel from us, but i guess we already to make us, well, an experience is ready to and it is all the prisoners and there's

a potential. meanwhile, in israel, the desire for all the captives to be brought home safely as strong as is the
