8:30 am
so they supported by the people of is all the result was that piece. ready out that will have a political calculation within me is really will cabinet itself with these ready will cabinet, has been absolutely clear during all of this days all the ceasefire. it has said, we will go back into a goza at a time of our shoes at grocer harring. uh that to um, the maximum that these ready will cabinet will allow for a ceasefire extension is 10 days that'll take us to sunday off to sunday. uh these right, these are saying they want to go back into goals that despite any family members that may well be left in the as well if they're releasing 10 today, we still know exactly how many people that out, but that gives a significant chunk of, of is ready. capt has to be released. probably gets you to around a $110.00, maybe so called this been about 8 tonight. a sorry, 74 is riley's released. it could get you to about the 10010510 number. we don't
8:31 am
know how many family members versus how many soldiers the ok. now it's worth pointing out. i'm. we've seen this in the past in other cause a was a etc, that these really public will take the depths of is right. the soldiers as part and parcel of the war, but the death of these rings civilians. that is something completely different. so if it's ready, so i'll just die within the wall. that's something that they can stomach. but this is something they called that is a calculation for the israeli government right now. but it was like these ready government is talking tough about going back into goals are, but they all are under tremendous amounts of pressure, particularly from the us about what the world looks like when they go back in. they can't do that kind of carpet bombing of certain areas that we've seen in your body of refugee camp in the center of garza, the cause of the americans, the same kind of attack hospitals anymore. and so that is a, uh, a calculus for these ratings. okay. interesting stuff and wrong. com that for us in
8:32 am
occupied east jerusalem. let's get some view from gall. so we can go to target a zoom. who is in southern golf, and con eunice and tara, i can see people bustling around around you. it is 31 minutes past 7 in the morning . has it been any reaction? presumably people very relieved to know that the truth will go on for at least another 24 hours. yes, melly. yes, said that you people were asking at night if there is going to be any possible opportunity for the extension of the c 5, between our mazda and as well as the majority of them, returned back again to the hospital yesterday. and also in today's early hours, as there was no, there was no any kinds of announcement by any reason on the dates or even any parts between homeless and east belt in terms of the extension of the ceasefire. the late announcements really out was very releasing for the majority of palestinians who
8:33 am
were having a sense of fee and frustration yesterday in terms of the uh, not receiving any confirmation regarding the extension of the ceasefire on the grounds. uh so the literally now stop working. i get them back home in order to secure much more needs and to afford old basic necessities for them. and the families as move humanitarian. 8 will be allowed to enter the gaza strip today, including water, food, medicine, gauze, and even fuel to set for areas including the north. but since the ends even this off of the gaza strip. so every new day over troops, every single new type of extension of deceased by a will give palestinians and hugo for tennessee to be alive and even to have a more needs and more. the more kinds of supplies that tools help them to prove. and even to elevate the ongoing a great and you have editor crisis as the united nations keep this trip using h that's had been allowed to enter the gaza strip. so the majority of them right
8:34 am
now, they have moments to prove the relax that they have in you day all the extension, hoping that old diplomatic efforts that update by regional mit datas including cuts on egypt will help to reach a constant si, fi of that will end at that will bring an end to the confrontations that was about to erupt today, unless the ceasefire directly translated on the ground and had reached between full spots. okay, thank you for that topic. i'm assuming that for some ton unit, it's okay. stella has on out there will have more on that last minute agreement between israel and how much to extend the gallons a ceasefire. jail for another 24 hours. the . how are the weather? is lottie set fare across the middle east of the monument?
8:35 am
lots of sun show on the 1st slide, the summit, the truth be notified here in concert. i'll just around the coffee and say that to came some, i'll just setting in so little blurry over the next best type of just struggling. if i can go to that to around 25 degrees celsius by the pool full cooler than it has been recently, temperatures not dropping, not just we go on into friday, let us try whether that and the cross match will be arriving financially. and so the most up to was a live and since it took a general driving, got some running around the took a that'll push this way further northwards and east was pushing over towards the georgia. and you can see price guys coming back came behind something of a no leeway and some little fresher, just around the live. and since we go through the next day or 2 on the 1st side, so quite a king. when will gather, just around the strength of japan, outside, much of north africa is drive for the time being. but the savvy, or cloud and bright, have a slip, its way out to the ip layer and peninsula move across the strength of your products . and we will see some way by coming into america. mold and pond sufficed to africa,
8:36 am
west as hard as we go through the next dial. so shell is continue to hold the gulf of guinea slipping further south. quite a few showers across the central africa, but try for the south. so many politicians want to be the republican party is candidate for to any stand, a chance it gets donald trump, if our planet is burning and we're running out of time, why aren't we doing more to deal with climate change? our american politics just getting through full, i've been to extreme for most americans because it can look us politics, the bottom line. what we do, and i'll just, sarah, is try to follow this story. and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity and democracy. the
8:37 am
they're watching out there on line to us on told stories this out is wrong. how much have agreed to extend the seas? 5 by 24 hours just minutes before the deal was due to expire. as randy ministry says, the continuation is in the launch of assets to get captives for needs. 10 release is right and captives have travel through the roof of crossing from gauze and egypt and on. now on, is there any soil? they include dual citizens from the us, germany, and netherlands, full time nationals. what will so for nice, an area that was celebrations in ramada in the occupied westbank with such a palestinian present as released by as well. it was the 6th course at present is to be freed as pounds for the concert. tonight. let's go to menu or potter who
8:38 am
is live for us in washington, d. c. good to see you. so the us next year of states and me blinking is in tell of eve he arrived earlier this morning, a haps that could be the reason we've seen the spar extended by know that 24 hours. what, what, what, what are we expecting from president of, from secretary of state, lincoln's trip in israel. and we're certainly getting a sense that the fact that these an extension to the cease fire happening coming down to the wire bug, could have something to do with the fact that the us secretary of state entity blinking is in israel. he will be on thursday meeting with is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you will also be in west jerusalem meetings with these rarely words have that part of the purpose of this trip in terms of what we can expect. that is part part of what was already being discussed during the earlier parts of
8:39 am
secretary blinking strip to, to belgium, to north macedonia, before arriving to israel, which is finding a way to secure a sustain cease fire in this conflict. continuing to work toward the release of those folks that are still being held captive, as well as an action plan for public policy needs. once the conflict itself is over . now the challenge that we'll see moving forward, that this is something that the americans are paying particularly close attention to a similar to what we've seen following the 2 day extension that had just ended before the announcement of this latest extension is. this really sees on the opportunity to provide that much needed humanitarian aid to palestinians and gaza, whether it be fuel or medical supplies, food as well as water. the united states is also seeking a way to influence is realty show restraint to avoid the type of mass of civilian casualties that we've seen over the course of last month in northern garza asking
8:40 am
israel to show not only show restraint, but to narrow the zone of combat to be more precise in its targeting of a mosque to minimize civilian casualties. but we should note however, that from here a secretary blinking will be traveling to do by for the cop 28. you wouldn't climb its summit. of course, despite the fact that this is a climate summit, there is a reasonable expectation that the the board on gaza, the seeking a way to find a sustain ceasefire will take precedence at those meetings as well. um manual, could you give us a bit more context about the pressure the bonding in administration is on the over its support of israel in the school and also conditions of aid that need to be sent over to gaza. and certainly the by the administration is under
8:41 am
tremendous amount of pressure, not only from civil society groups here in the united states, but also for the growing of course, the voice is within the us congress as well. we should note that this trip that's taking place now by secretary of state antony blinking is taking place. just as this pressure for the united states to condition is real aid to israel is, is taking place on capitol hill as well. what we're hearing from law makers here in washington is that aid to israel should depend on israel's commitment to international law. again, pressure for both civilian groups as well as lawmakers. we should also note that we're less than a year away from the national election here in the united states. president biden's of support, especially among young voters in the country, has certainly eroded as young people are seeing images of death and destruction fill their social media news feeds, and there's also pressure from aero bend. most of them americans who are, are,
8:42 am
are saying that the attitudes toward muslims here in the united states, the attitude of is along the phobia here in the united states feel not only like they did in the days, weeks, months after the september 11th attacks. but could be even worse than that. now many people point to a rise in the hate crimes. we can cite what happened in burlington vermont, where those 3 palestinian americans that were shot just last saturday. so this is a delicate tite, wrote for the binding ministration to be walking, not only in terms of mediation, but in terms of attitudes, especially among voters, less than a year away from the election here at home in the united states. okay, manual report of that for us in washington. a thank you. i went over to him now to all correspondent in wrong con here his life for us and occupied east jerusalem. and i believe, and ron, you're getting some more details on that cease my extension. what if you had
8:43 am
and that's why the far minutes that you like hiring has been speaking to is really channel 12. he's actually said in the coming days and the coming to days is possible to receive more hostages. and he's looking at friday and saturday. he also went on to say that as well was waiting for 10 captives to be released. he also said the in his role, every is ready, citizen masses, for us, no matter what other nationality it has, they were you like come that is referring to the russians who were released yesterday. and israel didn't actually count those in the now they all. so what we're hearing right now is that 8 women children will be released. that brings it with the 2 russians to the 10 number that's always been crucial for these readings, always has to be 10 people being released. this may will change in the coming hours . but it's a significant development of the e, like having the foreign minister who's also
8:44 am
a member of the wood cabinet has been speaking about this as well. as with just giving you a very quick reminder of the timeline as well as overnights, how mass had sent a list of these rays which they had rejected. what we're hearing is that the. busy dead bodies on the list, which is role said, was an acceptable to them. they wanted people to come out a bit, wanted civilians to come out in that number now uh at 20 minutes to 720 minutes before the deadline was due to expire. uh, how about sent a new list in 10 minutes off to that? he's ready on me and gave that statement announcing a cease fire, excessive 24 hours. and now you go eat like cohen suggesting the deceased, if i could go as far as saturday. okay, thank you for that. and ron khan, the 1st and ok, potties jerusalem. we can return to our studio guest mohammed um sir, on las very he is with the don't institute the graduate studies joining us here in
8:45 am
the studio. so i was saying how and good to see you again. so want to discuss why you think the, the negotiations went down to the why. i mean, in the past they have been a lot of it has taken a time and it has been a daily discussion to come up with a list of captives. but this time it really went down to the why do you think it could be to do with israel trying to regain the of the hand when it comes to these negotiations with homeless? i think that could be part of it. i think the bigger factor here is that this is just a very complicated situation. logistically, i mean we have to remember that from us did not take all of these passages on october 7th themselves. there were other power spending. factions who made that incursion into inter israel once the apartheid was, was brought down. and so from us hasn't even known the location and identities of
8:46 am
all the hostages. we're not even a 100 percent. sure. if they know where all of the hostages are, we think that they've been able to sort of get a grip on that situation in, in the recent, in the recent days. but as i said earlier, there are only so many civilian hostages left israel wants the civilian hostages. they want 10 per day. and as we heard, and the report from us offered initially overnight, 7 uh hostages and 3, the bodies of 3 others in israel rejected that. so the longer this extends, the more difficult, it's going to be for how much to produce civilian hostages because they have a very limited number of them. so when it comes to the remaining hostages, let's say we take away all the women and children, and they all returned to the extent that can be what is the bargaining power of the is riley army hostages captives. well, if we're talking about the soldiers,
8:47 am
then mazda is going to demand a great deal for the soldiers. i don't know, i'm obviously not privy to those conversations. but my guess is that they're going to want a permanent cease fire and the release of all the palestinian prisoners who are held by israel. either those who have been convicted or those who are just being held in administrative detention without without charge and without the right to trial. that is just my guess based on some things that i've been hearing an inter interviews with uh from us for years. but certainly, israel is going to want those hostages back. the question is, at what price you've said previously that the prime minister netanyahu, it's in his interest to keep the will going as long as possible. can you explain why or he's in a lot of turmoil back home in israel 3rd, been ongoing protests against his rule. this has been going on for months. he's
8:48 am
been attempting to sort of come consolidate power in anti democratic ways. he's overstepped the judiciary, and many as rallies are dissatisfied. the opinion polls show that he's very unpopular actually in israel. and so, and there are also some looming indictments, potentially related to corruption and, and things of that nature. and so the longer this goes on to more he is in control, the more he is, his political life is, is secure, right? and it also buys him time to try to regain some of his popularity. this is what probably part of the reason why he went to gaza for that photo off of a sort of on the front lines with with is really soldiers. he wants to try to increase his popularity. so there's not really an incentive for him to, to stop the war. okay, so now how much on the, sorry, from the job? well, as chief of graduate studies, thanks again. lot of this. and now most of the time nashville was released by
8:49 am
almost all due to arrive in the home country any moment now, 19 ties were captured on the 7th of october. and if so, thought been released, it's only governments as the teen are still being held. it also says it's $39.00 if it's nationals were killed in the homeless attack. most of any nationality on is riley's, in this case a jessica washington who is in bangkok for us. uh jessica. so those ty caps is just about to be uh, just about to arrive in bangkok. uh, what are we expecting? the test right here at cox main airport and you can probably see behind we pretty sizable media presence. serious anticipation of his arrival was the 1st group of ty captives that were being held by him. us just walk you through some of the latest speakers that we have from the ty foreign ministry. at 17 pine nationals will be returning today. there are 6
8:50 am
office was already been released by hun loss, but they will not be on that side today. we understand they may have medical checks and other processes to complete before they can return home. and the type of government also believes that there are 9 of the ties being held captive by how much so that at the moment is that priorities. and it's for that reason that the tie, foreign ministry has also media. and indeed those returning to days to not give specific details about the conditions of attention while they were being held by him. because they feel that it may interest you within negotiations as they try to get the remaining time national house all calls on house with captivity. so that is the power to space of 0 has also been speaking with a relative of some of those who will be returning today. and what they told us is that they are so happy they are overwhelmed. and they're waiting in the villages waiting, anticipating the return of their loved ones that they've begun preparing the
8:51 am
specific rice dishes to commemorate the returns and to have a celebration of the day that they see is may never come. so that is the sentiments of locals as a waste the arrival of these tie nationals. and we do expect that they will be here in coming. and jessica, i saw some people on my apologies. uh jessica, i believe. uh we need to move on. jessica washington, that for us in bangkok as well as we mentioned earlier, the prominent palestinian activist had to mimi was among the fair seat prisoners released on wednesday, the 22 year old rose to prominence. i can 2017. when she went, she slapped and is riley soldier who rated have village and the occupied westbank. at the time, she was sentenced to 8 months in prison. mimi was arrested again earlier this month on suspicion of inciting violence and not speak now to den, not to korea. she is from 0 to 0 plus she's worse and the book with had so many
8:52 am
called, they called me a line asked the palestinian goals, fight for freedom. so obviously you know, her quite well. you've spent quite a bit of time with that. tell us a little bit about how she came to such a prominence. i'm sorry, can you read the question? tell us a bit about why she be. she came to such prominence. a lot of sending me grew up in a prominent palestinian family that was known for non violent activism. she grew up in the west bank village of and that be solid, which is right across the street from an illegal is rarely settlement. that for years has been legally confiscating the village's land and its natural resources. so in response, in about 2009, her father and members of the village decided to wage a non violent protest movement where they would just simply try to march down to their natural spring that was confiscated by the settlers. and in response, every single week they were met 5 rudo forest by that is really military. we're
8:53 am
talking tear gas, opening fire with rubber coated steel, bullet skunk water and even live ammunition from a very young age. from her childhood, she witnessed her uncle killed before her very eyes. her cousin killed before her very eyes. her parents shot her parents repeatedly arrested. she herself getting injured and then eventually culminated into that iconic moment in 27. in 2017, at 16 years old. when she was arrested for the 1st time. so at that time, she spent 8 months in prison. i believe. do we know much about her experience in prison during the 1st time? yes, it's very well documented in the book that we wrote together. and her memoir, the conditions in prison were difficult then, and if they were by then they're extremely unbearable. now, as has been documented, even by amnesty international, calling it degrading and torture in the, in the conditions um, when she was imprisoned as a 16 year old,
8:54 am
she spent 8 months there. as you mentioned, she was able to, in defiance of the, is really uh, you know, jail keepers was able to complete her secondary education, complete her high school behind bars. and really there was able to develop more of a political consciousness. she took a class on international law and international humanitarian law and was more clearly able to understand the very many violations that she and the policy mean people living under occupation that have lived through because of israel and dana, she was to meet, was arrested again. uh, earlier this month, can you tell us a bit more about the circumstances that she was arrested and she was arrested on november 6th, and the nighttime rate, as it always is, a nighttime rate. so just to be clear, this is on to the world off to the october 7th events, the correct 10 days prior to her arrest. in fact, her father passed away to me and he was arrested while he was on his way,
8:55 am
trying to make his way to jordan. he has been hit still being kept in all her prison under administrative detention, meaning no charge or trial. so she already had her father taken away from her, and she was a part of this giant wave, this bloody practice that we have seen in the occupied west bank of israel arresting thousands of palestinians after october 7th. it was under, under this context that i had, was arrested. she was beaten during her arrest as her lawyer has confirmed. she was beaten after she was being transferred to prison and she is. she was being kept in the mon prison, which is in israel, which again is a violation of international law to transfer palestinians from the occupied territory outside of the occupied territory. like um, the many hearing testimonies that we're hearing of from house students who are being released from the prisons she suffered abuse. she was never charged. they were never able to bring charges against her. so last sunday, the military court and moved to try to keep her under administrative detention,
8:56 am
which means she could remain, she could have remained incarcerated without charge or without trial. okay, a data many thanks for your time. edina to corey from h. i. p. last hoping to us that about the prominent palestinian activist i had to mimi, hey, was among the so i see person is released on wednesday night. let's switch now to occupied east jerusalem. we can speak to him correspond to him, ron khan. i believe we have more developing news of a shooting taking place and as well, what can you tell us to that's right, this using so place in the last few minutes, not far from where i am in west jerusalem at near the remote junction. we're hearing that the shooting time site took place in 3 different locations with at least the 3 attack is 2 of those attack is escaped and the initial uh, shooting attack. but then way hearing uh that, uh, 2 people have actually been killed. now this happens,
8:57 am
a bus station and the supplements of, of, of, of vermont. uh, like i said, not too far away from where i'm sending right now. uh, these riley's uh, it's not clear whether it was rate is already secured. suppose is ready, police the shop, the attack is that whether it was just citizens of a that remote a sub v m. the is really ambulance. so far as here said, rescue teams are currently treating a number of victims with varying degrees of injury in the area at the entrance of the city as a result of the shooting. so 3 attack has multiple occasions, at least 2 of those attack has been uh, neutralized that is ready for killed and at least 6 people are being treated for the injuries just in the last few minutes. in fact, we probably can't hear it, but the all i'm balance is and sirens going off in that direction. so it's clearly still a things still moving that quite quickly. okay, and we're on con, that for us in occupied east jerusalem to
8:58 am
all, if you're just joining us, it is now approaching 6, g m t that is, am local time in casa, where a temporary to monetary and c spa has been extended for further 24 hours it was set to end at 7 am level the time. just a few minutes before it expired. we had from the is really ministry. you announced mediation efforts. i've continued to allow for the release of captives. the 6 day truce has seen the exchange of prisoners on the distribution of mine, told humanitarian aid in garza how much says it has agreed to the extension on the the same conditions. meanwhile, us section of state antony blinking is in teller, beef the tulips. he's expected to push for an extension of the temporary purse as an increase in humanitarian, a 4th, a goss estrin. more than $15000.00 palestinians have been killed as
8:59 am
a result of his writing bombings on the besieged strip since october. the 7th that's going to tarik assume whose name was han eunice in southern gaza. so just approaching a truck in the morning in gaza and where you all in hon. eunice and southern guns i . we can see people bustling around behind you. the news must a filter then that we now do have this extension for another 24 hours. what is the mood of the yes, the majority of people who had a re, a returned to the houses right now due to the extension of the ceasefire. simply the majority of them, they come back again to the hospital yes to day as they have moved, growing, concerned that they will not have any kind of extension for the ceasefire as the announcements has been delayed until the last couple of minutes from the end of the
9:00 am
original extension of the day of the day, day a 2 day truth and extension of the c spy. so clearly, right now they were a, they are the majority of palestinians are really comfortable. have a sense of relief that they will have another day to the of the apartments where in which they will have received or they will be able to receive more humanitarian aids that will include water, medical supplies, a few even got supplies so clearly uh the, the current mood is now is, as is very important for palestinians as they give them a clue. police back with the ne shuttle negotiations made by cuts on different please note active in the region to de escalate. the situation on the ground will help them to reach a cost and seized by a thought. what it's important to mention is that during the last couple of minutes we've had a different, a bombing in the coast of there is but at which.
