the the mean celebrations in the occupied westbank as a 6th group of the palestinian prisoners. the color that good to have you with us aren't joe. now this is down to 0 life from the also coming up. i'm off hands. i have a 16 more captive super being held in cost of $7.00 women and 5 minus are among those. now we need to continue for an extension of the cost of cease $5.00, which is due to expire in just

a few hours time. the us says it's hopeful they will be, i'm agree, is there any forces, shoots and to, to thomaston, and children, 8 year old and a teen agents in a right in the occupied westbank. and the former united states, the secretary of state henry kissinger, has died at the age of one of the as it is to gmc for am in gaza. ended the west bank where they were celebrations after his riley prison. officials released a group of 30 palestinians just hours before the extended cease fire is set to expire. they arrived in romano in a bus operated by the red cross mussel, so freed, 16 captives who are now on his writing soil. they crossed into egypt through the rough crossing from kaiser into egypt. they include deal citizens from the united

states of germany and the netherlands as well as for ty, nationals. behind the scenes talks to extend the sci fi deal happening cutoff has been helping to meet the item. negotiations. it's foreign ministry says the main focus is to secure an end to the war. oh, how do i go? i mean has more from romano and it was a long day for the prisoners before they were released. they have to wait hours inside the door for prison. and that was even further delayed because they were some confrontation between is really security forces and palestinians in between. yeah. with actually for palestinians were wounded by live. i really nation according to the health authorities here in ramallah. but finally, they made it out of that for the 15 of them where from the occupied was back and most of them arrived here in central romanella with their family and friends with

waiting for them. and they were given a hero's welcome. many people, though, did say that it was a bit of a bitter swing at the moment on top of you've got to do the theater. they were very harsh on us. they used to gas and be tough. they took us into the store that she confinement all at random. we were not able to for the news because they took our radios. there was no food or medicine even close to call things and threw them into the rubbish. elio i said, i want to see that the h $1.00 fee is to be in missouri. i'll guarantee the prism is a being deprived of food and not escalated from the outside world. you're isolated all day with the exception of pop in our 1st shala and we have no way to communicate with our families. so what are you? oh, my goodness. and this is the 1st though. we also hear that they're actually a female prisoners taken from northern gaza and go to jail inside israel. now the big question among all palestinians is whether the seas fire will

be extended or not. for many it means that perhaps they will be more release of prisoners. and also more importantly is that the people in guys always have a few more days of respite for that than i mean, obviously, right? in ramallah, i'm taking up the story from the bodies. jerusalem is mohammed jumped to in occupied east jerusalem after a long night of delays. several hours of family members waiting for their relatives, palestinian prisoners to be released. finally word that at least 6 of the 8 prisoners who reside in occupied east jerusalem, where we are now have returned to their homes. now, throughout the last several hours we spoke with family members who were very concerned about the delay in the release of their relatives. they didn't know what was going on and when exactly they would arrive. we had reports throughout the

evening. that security forces continued to go to those houses, warning family members, not to speak to the media, kicking out members of the extended family, also barring journalist from accessing those homes. this certainly falls into a pattern we've seen increased over the course of the last few days when security forces have repeatedly gone into the homes of prisoners who reside in occupied east jerusalem. kicking out members of extended family and time is also kicking out assembled journalists. and this is one of the reasons why many of the families we've spoken with over the course of the past few days have worried about what's going to happen in the days to come. many of the prisoners that we've spoken with have told us about the fact that they have been warned not to post anything on social media, not to speak to the media,

not to engage in any political activities. many of them concerned that if it's, if there's any perception that they have violated any of these conditions upon their release, that perhaps they could even be picked up again and taken back to jail. now, while we have not been able to access any of those families over the course of the night, that's because they're too afraid to live journal listen to their home because they were afraid there will be around the vacation, is from the security forces. we're here and why the joys there were 2 of the prisoners that were released over the course of the past several hours that reside in this area. we're overlooking that area right now. those 2 prisoners were told have returned to their homes. certainly various relief among those family members that are finally were united with their loved ones. but at a time when many of these families would like to experience some joy at the reunion and be able to breathe a sigh of relief, they also feel that they are being watched and monitored. and they feel that they

cannot experience the kind of happiness that they would like to at this moment. how much i'm just ear occupied easters now with one to 3 hours to go before the expiry of the existing cease fire deal attention must tend to frantic efforts to arrange an extension of the salute easy nor can buy these to risk them for us. and there's a war cabinet meeting on going home. the is that tell us, tell us what you're hearing. right, so the war cabinet meeting is going in well through the night after hours as anonymous is really officials speaking to is really media are saying that there are issues with the list of names, but him us handed over to mediators saying that it was essentially rejected by these really is additional sources are saying, but it's the list is not modified by the early morning hours in just

a couple of hours from now really that the finding will resume. remember the last time this happened there, this extension period we've been in for the last 2 days. these really didn't announce it either, but now it is seeming that while they are willing to extend the cease fire, the list of names that from us has provided some mediators of captives who would potentially be released on thursday. the 7th day of the ceasefire. and the 3rd day of the extension has been rejected by these really war cabinet. now remember, all of this is happening on the hills of the visit of us secretary of state anthony blinking, who rides in telling me not too long ago to have discussions just like this one about the ongoing release of captive. these really prime minister's office releasing a statement earlier in the day saying that they were looking to use this framework

to push to release all civilian women and children who are currently being held captive inside of the gaza strip. so as we know it now that we're cabinet meeting is still ongoing, but there have been no updates as to what these really government has decided with . the mediators have brought forth if they have brought forth anything new, but everyone is on edge waiting as the ceasefire. could look to expire in just a few hours jona. meanwhile, a successful hand over these rarely captives and others indeed in gaza by hamas. and what's the latest on that as well, we do know that the 10 is really captives for tying nationals and to russian is really dual citizens. are now all at hospitals being reunited with their families. though there were delays in their release. we did say the red cross facilitate

their transfer to the border crossing where they were then taken into the hands of these really military for identification processes. they were then taken into is really territory to the hub study military base in the southern part of the country . for an initial medical check, they were accompanied by as really special forces and these really army, they were then all flow into several different hospitals throughout the tel aviv area to be reunited with their families each day of the ceasefire. we have now finished day 6 has brought unique circumstances and different processes for the release. while we have been reporting that it has all been going according to the plan that is written on paper each day. it has shown different and unique circumstances throughout the release and we can expect to unique and different circumstances as well. should the cease fire extend into a 7th day, but as of now no update from the is really government on the potential extension of

the ceasefire. the okay home that we leave with that with you many thanks for that . i'm just telling you to the upsides you know about east jerusalem and a man has been shopped into foot by is ready for his tour and confrontations near ramallah that happened after troops. storm the town of bay 2. now in the occupied westbank on wednesday night. the re coincided with a gathering of residents who were waiting for a convoy of palestinian prisoners to be released and is ready forces of kill 2 palestinian children during yet another writing. janine and the occupied westbank and a warning to do with some of the images were about to show you. you may find disturbing . this is the precise moment, is riley forces shot the 8 year old adam. i'll go in the head. you can see another palestinian dragging him away from his riley bullets in a desperate effort to save his life. and here's another moment. another child was

killed 15 year old basil. i bought a wafaa. he was shot in the chest as he was trying to run away is riley forces, were preventing citizens and paramedics from reaching the injured inside to name child strategies. following developments from jenny and refugee camp in the occupied westbank of this right is being described by residents here inside the janine refugee camp as being the largest, right. they can remember suddenly, since the beginning of the war and yes of truly a rig quotes each video footage has a period of the shooting of these 2 young boys, the policy and those are 2. you're saying that it was an 8 year old. that was shot in the back, according to the people that we've spoken to. he was playing football at the time as the, as a full series will, withdrawing that software. right? that lost it around 17 hours and seemingly defenceless. as you see the shows in the back being dragged on the a call behind a call by one of his friends,

what evidence would suggest and also yes, a 15 year old boy also killed during this, right? that's according to the p a. and as i say, it is just being described as one of the largest is ready military wise, the largest industry right since the beginning of the war residents of describing that being hundreds of soldiers, that not only came into the camp, but something that they hadn't seen since the beginning of the war, soldiers walking around the town as well. but with just a few hours to go before a fragile cease fire ends, high level diplomatic efforts are taking place at the you end to try to avoid move from bonding of gaza. the, the,

the weather brought to you by visit. hello, and welcome to look at the international full, caustic. tell me, let's try it closer to parts of north america with the moment we've seen some, some snow oper round the last little this stuff is still in place here by the one set of weatherbug. we call it the pressure for the south. here it has been cold light winds, but just for us to watch out for as well, things will change as we go through the next steps. so you can see if it's heavier, right? pushing up across the texas, easing up into uh could. so pushing a little further north, which as we go through the next dial, say still a little bit of smarter there into one terry. i want to quit back east of that cold enough with that it has been raised on the 11th celsius in dc, a celsius, the for new york by the west. we've got some rain state and snow pushing into the pacific northwest running down to northern parts of california is that a slide is white for the race with snow that coming in across the rockies. and i right, and i have a tools that se, in corner around picking up a little bit as it just makes its way into, i know some parts of florida and on into georgia, southern north,

we got some right in the mix here as well, to the little bit of smell of northern flank of flats for the south, instead of you to help us a copy and not too bad over the next style. so we got some what to what the just coming down to was you could companies the still have a driver's wife. the race was to the gulf of mexico. the west brought to you by visit castle unique perspective. i think being policy is a huge part of my identity voices. you don't often hear how are you doing today? i almost forgot how my life used to be before the gaza strip. started. connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. question for me is very, very critical. issue is an attack in this specific area, throwing me out of these boards and the rest of the team, the stream on out to 0. the,

the, the you're watching out is here is a reminder of our top stories that been celebrations in romano in the occupied west, drank with the palestinian prisoners released by israel. it's the 6th group of prisoners to be freed as part of the gaza seats and released these riley captives of travel through the rough crossing from casa egypt. and i'm now on is really sort of thing to do. citizens from the united states to any of the netherlands for time nationals, we're also really, as old lease takes place talk, so i'm going to extend the cx 5 deal, which runs out in the coming hours. time has been helping to mediate the negotiations. it's foreign ministry says the main focus is to secure an end to the

war. are now us president joe biden is set to be extremely concerned about these roles. next phase of its war in gaza, quoting to official sources, news website access, says bible warranties, right? the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that an offensive in southern gaza would west and the humanitarian crisis. a william laurence is a professor of international relations at american university and a full me, us diplomat. he joins us live from washington, dc. and when he lawrence, we are witnessing here an evolution, it seems in the administration's position on his royal from full, full throated support for everything that israel was doing, essentially in gaza throughout the boeing campaign to something much more nuanced now urging restraint. just 24 hours ago, president 5 and put a post on x saying war is not the on so we cannot go there. it's bought. how much

ones? how unusual is it for us administration to be inserting itself to this extent in what is going on in the middle east? a very there been 15 phone calls between biden and admitting yeah. how since the beginning of the war, the 1st one being on october 7th. and at the beginning, i think a lot of people were fooled or misdirected, let's say by the bear hug, by bite and flying to israel as the 1st us president to go to israel during a war saying, you know, we're with you. basically, whatever you do, because privately, almost immediately the us was urging restraint, urging caution, arguing for not escalating the war with lab and on which brittany dance and advocated in the war cabinet, advocating for humanitarian pauses,

and then humanitarian corridors from north to south. and now if you look at the number of disagreements between us and this, or i count about 12 publicly, about the course of the war and the after war and the red lines and conditions the us are putting on israel. it's, it's astounding. and the, the level of public disagreements, we're not, you know, basically we'll get out in front of the cameras and say the opposite of would buy it and just said, and then sort of do it by then just said it's, it's unprecedented. i've never seen so much public disagreement, and i've never seen so much caution in terms of how israel i conduct a war. now that's not to say that 15000 gallons weren't killed and that's the level of violence. israel infliction and guys that wasn't very, very excessive, but the fact that we're in the 6 day of a cease fire that the us impose that net and you know, we strongly opposed to and that we're seeing optimism from blinking among

others, including the guitar, is that this will extend further and blinking, saying you will not do in southern gas of what you did in northern guys. i how this is impressive. how far do you think the administration is willing to go to a set? it's influenced because the big question will be, is these right and government winning to listen is next on yahoo waiting to this know as he backs himself essentially into a place where the only way forward now is to continue come 1 may well as you know, uh, biden's, a raise on deadra right now is remaining prime minister to stay out of jail and prolonging the lower as long as long as possible to remain prime minister. and yet, there are many counter availing factors against this, including the massive heartburn that the u. s. has after the terrible

destruction redone guys, this really public turning as recently this weekend against the ground operation and wanting to cease virus and, and hostage exchanges to continue the half of the american public, including half of young jewish americans being opposed to any further bloodshed in history on palestine and then this, you know, global near you and the name of the, notwithstanding all the sympathy that was given to israel on act after october 7th . that this needs to stop. and not just because people are in favor of the palestinians. but because the level of destruction was entirely out of warranty and, and, and, and that's where we are now for the north europe, for us to have them out joselle finally, briefly, if you will, your thoughts on the passing of henry kissinger. a sometimes controversial figure, but nonetheless a, a colossal one. so yeah,

i met him twice and was surprised to me in may only one on one conversation with him. how short he was and how fast bookkeeping was because he loomed so large in our imaginations. but he, you know, amazingly reoriented us foreign policy with the right personal, with china indeed talked with russia, you know, did so many terrible things in southeast asia from which along he was long criticized. but he also changed how we thought, i mean, think right now about the negotiations between thomas and katara with the help of the americans and the addictions and this re lease where everyone is viewing the others interests more than their identity or value or trustworthiness. as the most important thing that's from kissinger, he taught us how to negotiate. and if i could add one point and i featured this in my classes at the university in his last 2nd to last the book, he regretted focusing too much on re i'll politic interests and not enough on

values in his theory. and he sort of re articulated it, although not a lot of people noticed, he said values. and the value of human life is more important than he originally said. um, you know, as he changed international relations, great insights, the form of us diplomat william laurence in washington dc. many thanks for your time. and as we've just been saying before, in the us national security adviser and secretary of state, henry kissinger has died at the age of a 100 on the president richard nixon kitchens. kissinger was the central figure in forging a policy of the topped with both china and the soviet union. my kind of looks back on his life at the age of 100, henry kissinger. joe was still globe trotting meeting. the chinese president in badging. you've just celebrated your 100 the birthday and i wish you a long and healthy life

to significantly, he was also gone to the meeting with the defense minister and then sanctioned by the us read refused any form of communication with bite in administration. officials, including his opposite number in the pentagon. it was 52 years since kissinger had 1st held secret meetings with the chinese leaders when he was the us national security advisor. and then i know a lot of you will want to hear from no secretary of state, that is no country in the that it is conceivable. that amount of my origins could be standing here. next to the president of the united states. kissinger was born in germany in 1923. he and his family fit denazi's and 1958. eventually settling in the us. he joined the army during world war 2, using his language skills and military intelligence. off to the wall kissinger and the doctorate and political science at harvard. his ambition to shape us foreign

policy. kissinger gosh, is john. so when he joined the nixon white house in 1969 with his job was to help and the war in vietnam, jo was sold the secret carpet bombing campaign in cambodia. it's estimated as many as a 1000000 people were killed. opponents of the war, se kissinger should have been trying for war crimes. he never apologized. i am certainly strongly supportive of it. it was correct us, and it was the american interest. on christmas day, 1972, the us launched on a wall on north vietnam to convince and noisy to resume peace talks. within 10 days, you got these guys. the table with no other method could have. this led to the 1973 paris piece, the codes and the nobel peace prize for kissinger. but the wall didn't end until 1975, linux and administration,

sol. vietnam is key to stopping the spread of communism. but when it came to the soviet union and china kissinger persuaded nixon to try a tongue. in other words, a slight defrosting of the cold war. the result, washington, i must go negotiated this 1st arms control treaties and nicks and visit to china in 1972. focus in jed. this was all about giving the us a tactical advantage, our strategy but to put 50 now. so in such a way that we the closer to target union and china as the neighborhood to each other so that in every crisis we had more absence. in the meanwhile, kids and joe was still finding the cold war in south america and europe. backing military governments in chilly greece and argentina denied, supporting the crew which deposed chalet and president salvador ellen day in 1973

leading to the dictatorship of general august open oshea. save us. no, probably say save to us as an end to us as an ad and a foreign official secret whitehouse recordings later revealed that kissinger knew the c. i a helped to finish a launch the 2, and that he had cancelled the state department's warnings dependent chaise government, against killing political opponents. his defense sometimes statesman has to choose among the kitchens you invented the use of shuttle diplomacy, to help broken into the 1973 war between israel and egypt. creating the foundation for the 1978 camp david accords. off to nixon resigned in 1974 kissinger continued a secretary of state under president gerald ford and spent the remaining decades of his life as an informal advisor will lead his incorporations to his critic. so will,

among the twos admirers, the consummate diplomat, but recognized by all as a man who changed the course of history. back to our top story now and with just 2 and a half hours to go before a fragile cease fires set to end high level diplomatic efforts to taking place at the united nations in new york to try to avoid more bombardment of gaza. gabriel lives on the reports from the ones headquarters in new york, and that's at the united nations. foreign ministers from an error is lumnick block of countries with the aim not just of extending the ceasefire, but ending the war altogether. so we are here to make a clear statement. that's a truth is enough enough. what is needed is a ceasefire. what is needed is a credible piece and a piece that lasts. and that allows the palestinians and israelis to live side by

side in 2 states. anything else will result in continuing crisis in the region? the un secretary general began the meeting by saying that, well, but aid entering guys that has increased during the current pause in hostilities. and it is not nearly enough in dallas negotiations are taking place to put along the tools which we strongly welcome. but we believe we need it through humanitarian ceasefire. power has been a key player and the negotiations to in the fighting. we hope that the progress made well under pen efforts to put an end to the bloodshed and lead ultimately to serious discussions with relaunch a political process to put an end to the suffering and realize the aspirations of the palestinian people in the united states or israel's most loyal ally and the un continues to call for a longer pause, but not a full in israel's bump. bergman of guys

a. we want to see this humanitarian pause extended. israel has been very clear that it is prepared to continue the pause and fighting for every day that how mos releases an additional 10 hostages. the ball is now in her mouth as court. here in the halls of the united nations. it's clear that the pause in fighting was welcomed, but now worry, and it was only temporary. and that if or when is real decides to resume its bombardment of gaza, will likely mean more innocent civilians are killed and a set back in diplomatic efforts. gabriel was on the i'll just needed a to knighted nations in new york. the day of international solidarity with the palestinian people has been mocked around the world, the london people from separate organization stage to walk out to mounting a permanent sci fi in gaza. sonya go yeah go has more.
