a 100. uh palestinians have been killed due to the ongoing errors wrecked but as of over night and we literally were talking about the past the 12 hours. and there, there's the, there, there was an intensified mass compartment of the southern part as well as the central parts and, and the, the, the, the northern part of the gaza strip would, would there velocity be coming in coming under heavy bombardment with more residential homes being destroyed, and more people have been killed again, we're talking about more civilians that named manly children and women at targets and victims of these falling of bonds on, on their homes in gaza. and not all the people are being sold by the air strikes some bombs. but there seems to be an attack, a, a, a war going on it from house to house where people are trapped inside of them. what is really a been storming these homes and killing people inside their, their homes as a report of the entire family and center central part of dogs and city. it
11:04 am
shouldn't have filled as of last night for the red cross to come and evacuated them from their home as these really military was surrounding their neighborhoods. but of course, there was no response whatsoever. and due to the heavy, a era strikes and of environment in the area or the out of this morning, neighbors of this family found them. the vast majority of family members were killed inside the inside the house they've in, in, in the northern part. the dogs at the ears right can, can you do a bomb mitten, major parts of the neighborhoods and the residential buildings that are in what seems to be the are in the weight of his rarely times are on vehicles aid and declared them. and we create a path for them as these really military. you can, can you do in circles, a parts of the northern part, namely jump out of the refuge account. and what about what's going on a broadly on the ground,
11:05 am
each side is making claims about the sorts of games that they are making. what can you tell us about what the reality of the situation the the you as well as of now the, the, the fighting mail. it is thinking in place and a free man, axes in hon. eunice and the eastern part of gauze, a city named leads to the i is a 2 neighborhoods, and around your body of refugee camp and, and the surrounding vicinity of the account. but the, in a video space, then they should, by the a look. what's the brigade, it's stating that the, the fighters on the ground are counter attacking these re, invading is really forces in eastern hon. eunice, in an attempt to stop those tanks and, and beating forces or from moving deeper or pushing deeper into a han units saw in, at, in, on the other in a different statement. this time is really
11:06 am
a statement through a channel, the 12, the talking about, and these rarely military completed. it's not as, as in circling an occupation of your body of refuge account. but here's the, the thing with, with, it's not verified as very much as we've seen within the past 2 days. what happened when these really military announce it's that a complete occupation of bit lot. yeah. then it became under these really monetary control. at the late hours of the evening of the same day, the, the, the statement came out, the palestinians fighting a group were able to target and one of the arms vehicle in be that he had the very location. these really a military that didn't have full control over this 5, beyond going bombardment then and relentless, there is frank goes, was a fighting group, is the ground, is still keeping gauging with the invading forces on the ground. uh, but other than the uh, the videos and the video statements, or the of these
11:07 am
a written a statement. there isn't really much we know about what's going on other than the fact that it is there is a heavy experienced battle is going on and that's being consistent with what defining group the ground have been talking about. and what these really military you have said. and stated within the past few days. all right, honey must move in real fast, southern gaza. thank you very much. i this is rose probably minister has met some of the families of homos captives. it comes as these where the president announced the country was open to another temporary truce to secure the release of bull captives. but in smith's reports now from tentative, it's taking more than a week ago asking, but the families of the guys a captives finally got that meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu department as the gave us hope in the meeting and was very intimate, meaning what a small number of families, which we believe is a good way for the 5 minutes to talk to the families and was
11:08 am
a productive meetings. we also asked what we can do more for him, but at the end of the day, the buck stops here. is really media is reporting that the government wants to deal with how much that will secure the release of elderly male and female competence. is where it is ready for another humanitarian pause in addition to your mind and tearing aid in order to enable the release of hostages. and the, the, the responsibility lies fully with a seen while. and the leadership of home, us officials from the us, canada, and israel have met at least twice in europe since friday. and the all reports that the how most representative will travel to cairo in the coming days to meet with the gyptian security officials. that will be the 1st meeting since the previous si, fi collapse more than 2 weeks ago. as we have found our position of good to go to the rejecting to hold any form of negotiations over the prisoners exchange. and the
11:09 am
continuing is for any genocide than what we are, however, open to any of the initiatives that contributes to ending the aggression on our people and opening the crossing to bring in to bring in aid and provide the need to or but a scene and people both sides blamed each other for the collapse of philosophy. 5, how much said israel refused to discuss office to release of the captives. israel says how much refuse and obligation to release old women captains, by public opinion to everything solidly behind the war, pressure to get the captives. ounce of gauze has intensified since 2 soldiers killed 3 of the captives waving a white flag. and the light is missing in wausau between the prime minister of castle on the heads of must uh, on the c i a was described as positive
11:10 am
a source last said, but no agreement on negotiations is expected. imminent bonus smith. i'll just say era televi, right? more on this now with our high right to is in occupied east jerusalem. i'm sorry. what kind of indications all the real substantial negotiations are on the way to try to get another at least temporary pause to facilitate captive release. there will the mach cars are indicating that something is cooking in the background, and it looks like it's heading potentially to some form of agreement. when though it's on clear what has been confirmed in the last few minutes by the egyptian officials. is that a smile on a how must be the has arrived now he's touch down in egypt and that will be that will be a meeting between him and the egyptians out each. it says a neighboring country to israel. it's been very much and take roll to the mediations to allow for the fuss these 5,
11:11 am
what happens in the 1st place. and of course, this also comes off the back of his meeting in capsule yesterday with the iranians . now, what's the link to iran? well, how mass has been boxed by iran, all of this time as has, has butler on the boards of the northern is really border there as well. so it seems that it's integrity, but they have had this me thing. but apart from that, that has also been a couple of other me things it seems that were taking place between the categories between the heads of the c i a as well as the head of most side. and usually those kind of meetings are lead, take place when they are all close uh, potentially to a deal. now there are reports that looking potentially 2 weeks for a c spot, as in the length of the c spy. that would be double the amount of days from the last one, but it's again, it's all. speculation even is really media who has been sick speculating, and nothing is actually clear. and what about the pressure that these really
11:12 am
government is coming on to try to get this over the line? i mean that the support for the war remains as far as i understand pretty strong, but there is mounting pressure on benjamin netanyahu to try to get more of these people home. right. a yeah, you're absolutely right. how are we on when they've done recent polls here, the majority of these really support this will. there's no doubts about that. the, the, the, the area where they, they all put, same pressure on the government is when it comes to having a sci fi to ensure a more accounts it's released when you have 2 videos in the space of 48 hours. and that's not happened before. since this was started, one released by the islamic jihad, one released by how much both showing an elderly man, full king in a language, but speaks to the public. it speaks to the cool of what it means for them to be is really some of them talks about how they all the founders of one of the kibbutz,
11:13 am
one of the main carpets on the southern towns with a gauze are and that's in itself will, puts in men's pressure from on the government to ensure that this happens sooner rather than later. so high rods in okay, bodies to some thank you very much. i as well joining us now in the studios as the adult costs are here's fellow and director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council on global affairs. i don't thank you very much for joining us again. so those are the latest lines on the, the potential of some kind of negotiated some periodic truths of some kind in the works. from that most perspective, i mean of the, has been some analysis. it is right at least that i must, might not want a truce right now. if there is going to be a winding down of the scale of the fighting under us pressure in the coming weeks. do you, do you think that? that's correct. so do you think that there is a real prospect of, of another set of temporary truce, at least it's definitely potential for a temporary to us. and
11:14 am
a choice will be very good for because the 1st of all it to the law for further humanitarian, they have to come in it's much needed now the, the, the sector is really suffering on the other hand or so it allows for the unification of hostages. and prisoners as well, but in the same time, we can't have such a short term agreement because what is ongoing now is happening is a fewer genocide that is that as a. so we want to have a long term, you're a better solution and also of how much produces all of its prisoners. it uses all of its leverage in this conference. so i think what the both parties will be seeking some sort of a longer term solution to end this call. well, yes, i mean that would require israel to dramatically shift its position. so what kind of pressure do you think can be brought to bear to get not a temporary but a permanent enter this? well, what i think now is what have a cut launch or sick when the horrible attacks of the same doctor were having a bit by bit this has changed with ongoing genocide and or the casualties. you have 20000 debt, most of them women and children. i think the key to your here is the us and how
11:15 am
much do you ask and put pressure on the, is there any government to end this war? well, obviously that has been some pressure being brought to bed very publicly by very senior members of the us administration. but so far at the u. n, at least the united states has continued to support of these ready positions. now we have this 2nd delay in a un security council resolution. they are shifting the language trying to make it state what the us might, if not support, at least not veto. do you think there is a real prospect of that happening? what potentially, because all of these is going down into in the background this vote was delayed and want to change the language from sufficient awful strategies to suspension of, of penalties. because basically the u. s. continues to give, is there any political cover, a at the u. n. and international, but how sustainable is this as we enter the election year next year and by then continues to suffer at the pores. and this will potentially have an impact on the election next year. so i think this is the key driver now of the white house and other us institutions to the uh, to wind down the school. okay. i don't have
11:16 am
a girlfriend. thank you very much. thank you. all right, still ahead. oh no, just 0. the how music and story telling. helping the children have gone and living with the danger and stress the the the how are we on now losing the lovely fine and dry weather across central and southern positive? you can see the long line of clouds stretched right across spine and pool, scroll all the way up until that western side of russia. this is a call from that sinking his wife for the south was hamper, getting some fresh fading behind because he had taught in the eyes of bozza further north and running on through the. and we'll see we will see those if wins ready rattling in as we go on through the next couple of days that work together,
11:17 am
that co fun that sinks by the south with some right on that some bits and pieces of snow as well as we go through the remainder of a wedding, stay blustery weather up towards the northwest somewhere, but it's still in place tonight. it's just around central, past, off the mediterranean level, drive as way further east, which as we go one through thursday, some heavy rain coming back into the ducky. is that eastern side of the med and the 1st day somebody went in some windy weather up towards the northwest, particularly when the weather, just around those north sea coast, setting the charts and some storm searches that caused some problems here. used to be some sort of thing. the most common ones could get to around 100 kilometers per hour. maybe a 100. and so if you're around 10 mile, we do have one is in full se so damaging winds on the cods here. meanwhile, at westwood around central parts of the mediterranean, still bring some heavy rain, its tanikia and northern libya and on the federal tax upfront takes on the big issue. that is the context to what
11:18 am
is happening now. it to the question of 5 unflinching questions. rigorous, the bank that he added to 2 days that the another i couldn't think is taking place . augusta, nothing goes into a golf. and without us, we'll permit. and nothing leaves casa without the girls permission. allow me to push back for a moment, demanding of ceasefire, demanding an end to the root causes of all of this violent upfront without 0 the the, [000:00:00;00] the welcome back you watching out. just a reminder about top stories this out. that'd be more is where the strikes and northern garza, in the early hours of the morning,
11:19 am
the health industry says at least a 100 times the names have been killed in the past. the date is ready for it is also conducting ground operations. palestinian fighters say the countering, has many troops leading to pitched battles inside garza moving a 120 soldiers have been killed. as many soldiers have been killed since the land. a pensive began in october. the 31st is there any military vehicles haven't to be occupied westbank cities of janine and 2 bus early on wednesday. at least 2 palestinians who reported the injured in the rates have escalated since this donovan war on gaza. hundreds of thousands of children and guns are experiencing psychological trauma. as a result of is really a tax to ease the suffering. a group of traditional palestinian story tellers is organized musical entertainment for young people at a school. in con eunice, in the south, brussels started off as more the, the,
11:20 am
it should've been here with some of the most improved that i faxed in a sense of the many of them have lost friends and loved ones. but they have trying hard to hold onto life listing and through additional storytellers known as they are coming together to use their suffering and give children a chance to be happy, which is extremely rare, but desperately needed. nowadays, we provide entertainment and psychological support to displace people in you and affiliated shelters. and we try to convey our message to children in a simple and entertaining way. using stories, particularly traditional ones. we use entertainment to distract them from the hardships because of the this performance is these,
11:21 am
these at the ending school time unit which has become home to thousands of these based organizers say adults are starting to cool during the war. but children, especially when the bell, one of the few has gripped the children's soul and you're scared of everything. for example, the microphone fell from my grasp and made a loud noise, causing all the children to panic and thinking it was the sound of bonding calling the is really a tex, how killed and injured thousands of children. the answer is 1200000. just these kind of themes or shelter in a specific piece that goes to causes the schools have been restored and education, disruptive, local fuck i thought about, we have a crave activities that didn't enjoy taking them away from the spaces of the walls and into walls of entertainment, which is so different from their actual experiences. and that is right in the
11:22 am
bottom, being the shop of virginia and figure out how to what the storytellers, the rest, intentional testing and cool thing. to say the hope to remind children that bach, what the annual experience of stale jeff and happiness. if not, this was out of that i was just raised in the occupied westbank have led to heavy fighting between is very forces and palestinian fighters is really military vehicles and to the neighboring cities. and janine and to bus early on wednesday to palestinians were reportedly injured in janine more than $300.00 contest indians, including children, had been killed in the occupied westbank since the war on guns and began live now to adam fisher in ramallah island. what's the latest on these rights as well, just as what's coming on here, we're hearing about c home is being demolished and nothing which is on the outskirts of ramallah. but if you were to place all of the places where there were
11:23 am
raids overnight, they all moved from like a chain from the north of the west bank, down to the sides and all the places that we've been hearing over the last 2 months feature heavily again, you're talking about telecom, you're talking about ramallah. i also in nablus in hebron, they started making preparations. they had too, nope. don't a host of someone who had shot until the end is really sold to the beginning of the gas award. also entered something, palestinians. that'd be a fairly turned up overnight, started taking measurements around the house in a lot of these places they'd be met with gunfire. so they've been heavy and sporadic exchanges between fighters and these really armies of also being a number of improvised explosive device is being used. i these as they're known. and of course you've also heard about incidence. and we've also had about incidents and in bethlehem, in ramallah itself. and also in
11:24 am
a jeanine which features almost every single night. i like this, of course we have is that several people have been injured. most of them with gunshot wounds, at least 2 of them. very seriously injured. alright, unofficially and remodel. thank you very much. i. it's all right once to bring you some one use now on those potential negotiations on risk. returning some of the captives and the potential for the humanitarian pause in fighting, hushing all by my colleagues here on set with us. you've been doing some reporting just now. you've got some new lines to share with us and to raise the talks. not on the way to explore the potential for and you chose the sources brief on the tools, tools us of the meeting between can solve the problem and associates. what happens with all black men outside c, c. i a see if we have bands on both sides chief or david, the bonnie which took place on monday in was so was positive of they've managed to
11:25 am
talk to some quite different aspects of, of the, of the, of the, of the agreement. now the outside of negotiators in touch with both how mass and the ease friday's on to potential to resume the tools and also put together a new to us. so this is quite a significant development because when you look at the monday meeting, this the, the cause of the prime minister and, and the c i a cheese and the most that you met in november in to have for the 1st time that meeting was instrumental in putting together the 1st deal that lasted for a week and then collapsed. obviously the 1st time after the collapse of the deal that they met. they say they say that the strong indications of all the pos is now moving forward towards putting together a vis. you know, what is the key issues at stake here? how much has been think over the last few days this time still going to be similar
11:26 am
to the same deal? they do understand that for them applying the same criteria is like the last day is going to be almost suicide though, because they don't trust me. i'm not a cause of these fridays once spots for me come gaza if they release all the exchange, all the prisoners. this is why the saying now we want a permanent ceasefire. and then we was thought to present those exchange, ultimately a, the categories of the key me data is along with the, uh, the, the egyptians with how to narrow some of those differences between how nice and the is why this is quite also important for the is why it is, and we're getting all the indications that suggests that perhaps in the upcoming days, we're likely to see an announcement for them to do well. certainly there is pressure on these ready government to try to get more of these people home. but the position, you just stop buying that from us. a permanency spot is miles away from these ready
11:27 am
possession of the destruction of how masters are fighting on political entity. so is that a, an opening position on both sides? i mean, how do you narrow that got through these negotiations? how well i was talking to see if people uh, familiar with the tools over the last few weeks. and basically they do understand that this is not the deed, by the way, seems to be human, italian and it's very nature. but it's very political for both homicide, for these writers. negotiate as do understand that because these riley is very important because it could be or decisive for the future of private as the bench. i mean that's any out on for him, insist on a deal that would see the present as exchange release. but at the same time, consider day to day consider they think his group on power is equally important for how much because how much now can not afford to come up with anything that could be seen as a company today sion to these riders? is it
11:28 am
a potential full that'll bring those differences the people that i've been talking to say that basically a confident but chances are going to be that i have to add another element. the position of a contact is this time is going to be different than last time for the simple reason they were instrumental they put into putting together the deal. but when they were adamant on continuing the extension of the ceasefire, it didn't work because this is why it is decided. it's about time to stop the resumption of the bombardment something the tires would not allow this time because it's awfully crucially important for them to be part of something that works. not something that could be manipulated or used for political games. all right. how about thank you. very much important or putting that, appreciate it all right, time for some other world news. now, polls have opened in the democratic republic of congo is presidential election incumbents, felix tree security, is running for a 2nd. so the country is facing many challenges, including an insurgency,
