the scale of this camp is like nothing ever process to help, but we want to know how these things effect people. we revisit please stay, even when they're no international headlines. i'll just say we're really invested in that, and that's a privilege as a drug. the long awaited celebrations and with unions in the occupied west bank of the israel releases palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire. and exchange how much this hand it over for buddies. it says there is really captives. we've been held in cost. the

hello am dire in jordan. we continue our breaking news out of gaza and israel. the 1st boss coming dozens of palestinian de chinese has arrived in ramallah in the occupied westbank jubilant crowds greeted the fried prisoners. at least $646.00 palestinians are expected to be released as part of the seas. 5 deal between israel and how much of 0 is kind of assume is in hong units in gone. so where red cross team is standing by at the european hospital to receive published and in places. but 1st let's go to nora. j. she's starting by for us in a month, because these way the government and policy, you know, start to have bottom down to 0 from importing from inside israel and the occupied westbank. i'm new, so just tell us what's been happening in the last few hours. there has been lots of moving parts which remind us again as to what's been happening. so there and as you said, a lot of moving parts this night began with those breaking news that the release

would happen, that there's a breakthrough. and then we saw of the process beginning how much happening over the 4 at bodies of the is really captives. and then we saw is really releasing palestinian prisoners to the occupied westbank. and at jerusalem, $43.00 in total, add to that to the territory and then now we're hearing of also is releasing the $97.00. tell us the indian prisoners will be exiled. they've been handed over to egypt, according to reports, and what remains are nearly 500 palestinians at palestinians taken from does a disappeared from gaza during the war, as well as 11 palestinians had been serving life and prison sentences. of course, these releases conclude phase one of the cease fire agreement. there are no more

exchanges scheduled, and that the phase one itself ends on march the 1st. yeah, no, and so how is the next phase of a cx 5 you'd expect it to unfold? i mean, it's the president from pushing for phase 2, a very good question because the ga ca shows on the phase 2 there and should have started on day 16 of phase one. and that did not happen. and there, there hasn't really been any indication. there's pressure on nothing. yeah. who to send a delegation. in fact, we heard from donald trump talking about his plan to take over gaza, to remove the entire population, send them somewhere else, and uh, 2 other pieces of land as he said and converted into some sort of real estate project. uh for homes and development. uh, on the beach front. um and so this has created an impression that nobody is in much

of a hurry. steven with coffee us onboard who should have been here in the region on wednesday did not arrive and postpone the trip. and now there is, there are rumors that you might be coming in next week, which is right or wrong, the time that the cease fire, the, the phase one of the cease fire would have ended. so there are serious questions about where this is heading. the, the regional mediators have been doing extra work if you will, of frenzied diplomacy in order to hold a cease fire together because they understand the risks and the risk of the ceasefire. not holding is that return to the catastrophic conditions before the cease fire of war of starvation, of mass killing and mass injury. and the situation on the ground in gaza simply cannot handle more of that. all right, i'll just, there was no road. a lot of us there from the jordanian capital, am i north?

thank q a splitting gauze, a large crowds have been gathering as they wait for bus loads or fried palestinians to arrive, including the advantages in no, i don't know as soon as possible. can you imagine how i would feel if i just treat his voice? the world will be unable to contain my happiness. so what if i actually saw him? it's an undescribable feeling them from the suddenly i found out that my how much is alive. and now we're here to welcome him, god willing. i came no such a day and waited for a long time, waited for me or how much from the morning. unfortunately, he didn't come, but sign up today, we'll see him. god willing. that's a lot now to a tonic opera. zoom, who was in hon. eunice in southern gauze and tarik. so many of the palestinian prisoners released into a gauze will arrive at the european hospital in con units where you on relatives, we know have been gap and we have to meet them. what's been happening that well, the i see i see incorporation with guys us health ministry have come close for

corrections to receive the palestinian release. that's it is as i get here right now, set up directory gun fires. different. do plague should have been widely seen about the ground with a number of vehicles that are carrying the inject palestinian debts and has have a right to the earth possibly. so we have been updated by the international commit to the right across that a number of age. it definitely is sensitive to the repeated hospital due to the severity of the cases. and it's worth noting to all of you is that the international committee of the red cross managed to receive the body of the post again woman the whole has been handed over to the organization. lots of effective date instead of the body of sherry. the past is rarely happens to do to the mix of buddies. she has been handed over to the teams of direct crows. the body has been

final thoughts. it was too not submitted to us to send it to the city of both upon eunice, but at the moment we are still waiting for the arrival of the buses that are carrying . either you tell us the new and release activities and we understand that the please. 0590 palestinian prisoners will be released from the is very jails and will be reunited with the loved ones who are waiting them desperately at the back side of the repeat hospice on this. a very drastic with that condition and the such late hours of this night. yeah. terracon and previous releases. we've seen palestinian prisoners look since they look sickly. do we know what sort of condition they're in? i mean many released previously. i've complained about the turbo treatment in his rated jails, but yeah, there are mountains and concerns about this. so you can see the palestinian release of prison is due to the very horrific just to monies we have heard from a 3 to

a full but really it really stuck to me is they have said that they have to do different signs or not. so i left to a chip by the swimming pool to locate them. forces beats in with why is meet 2 bits of pause and being deployed from having access to food outside, alongside also with the central budget killed kids that lead to significant due to ration of the mid to count the hell of that. but the vast majority of the most help with the weight and it hasn't been completely a subject to, to psychological districts to get that type impacted on the mental health that certainly will take time in order to recover. but apparently what we understand from the families of the palestinian pretend to release the direction is that they are so concerned about the safety. and they praying that on to see them absolutely in a very good condition. but that has been widely unpredictable given the fact that the vast majority of the post to me of that to me is, have been continued going through long days without having proof of access to basic

human at terry and mississippi is worth many of those prisoners have said that the managed to into months of hardships, months. so pull depriving, should human ation. and this of ation, which had been systematic policies that these, by the 3rd jail authorities have been using identities. that's a nice all right to i'll just 0 started. assume that report in life from hon. you this in southern golf, the topic. thank you. let's bring in stevens, soon as he's the director of middle eastern studies, the university of san francisco. you joins us live from static san francisco state and good to happy with a so received another exchange of captives for prisoners between israel and have my so what's your outlook for the seas? fine now which of times has come extremely close to collapse? what was it certainly early if uh that uh, the hostages prisoners are, has been the so the full exchange. now this is essentially the end of the phase one . i was always been pretty optimistic that phase one would be successful would be completed on time. but phase 2 is going to be a lot trickier,

especially given the israelis propensity to hold on the territories that they have conquered of the fact that they have, for example, um, refused to withdraw from lebanon, as they agree there expanding their occupation in syria, as it may be tough to convince them to pull out of dogs or as is required during before the 2nd phase of the ceasefire. yes, even in israel, we've seen green protests on the streets. people want to see all the captives return, but as also send snipping, yahoo is dragging this out and definitely very much so. i mean is that in fact the word itself is, depends and on even long maybe even put inside the office morrow and legal issues that on fragmatic level they were not able to destroy tomas, as they claimed and is really military officials are acknowledging it. but he kept on, bombing, kept him go and kept on dragging it out. and it's pretty clear, and this is rarely is, believe this, this is that he's doing it largely to delay the investigation,

to the security lapses of a push back of the elections, which it almost certainly lose and then be subjected to criminal prosecution for all these corruption charges, and that's why we seen hundreds of thousands of israelis in the streets demanding that the war and the hostages be returned. so, so what does this mean then for the 2nd phase of a sci fi going forward, steve, i mean the phase 2, as you say, is much more complex. presumably we can expect delays and pastoring from both sides certainly. and the big problem, of course, is that the no, uh that we, we could, there's no expectation whatsoever that the top administration would be pushing of nothing yahoo to compromise, pushing to go forward as far as drums is concerned, get probably resumed the war without bout protest and so it may be up to us really civil society and other forms of international pressure to, to move things forward. just the final thoughts you, steve, what about from plan to, to and gauze into this middle east rivera. and we still got controversial video

here need somebody's truth social platform shouldn't be taken seriously. and what about the counterpart of being put forward then by arab states? we haven't seen that on the table yet. you know, even though that is far and far more realistic, i mean, i think the think about the, the, the heart of the, of this ethnic cleansing idea and the end, the races on inherent within this of a photo. i photo that he showed and everything else. i mean, i think it underscore is that we really are talking about a colonial settler kind of situation. i mean the west, we've been very reluctant to look at israel palestine in that light in west there's been a big push. just say, oh israel is a national liberation movement for the jewish people and homeland for the oppressed and. and the cardinal southern narrative has generally been out on the french. however, when you have people like shop and nothing, yahoo are so flagrant and wanting to athens like then gaza instead of this riviera thing. i mean, that makes it very hard to deny that where we are,

we are talking about a kind of a colonial settler situation, which really is totally unacceptable here on the 21st century stevens. and there's many times for your time and you and i was just leaving. thank you. sure. my pleasure. split little palestinians and they all find westbank. i've been forced to leave their homes as is where it expands it's offensive. that is really ministry issued, forced evacuation orders in the north shelves, refugee come into a car, a matter of plan demolitions residents say they can only take a few of their belongings with the hospital scenes of desperation in the occupied westbank at the north shore, refugee camp in tow, cut them families pack whatever they can carry the we would take them by surprise as these really forces stone, the area i'm fired tear gas on the residents of the refugee camp. we direct present, rushed to help the household or to, to evacuate before the demolition of the homes. the force of accusation notice from

these ready made a tree came ahead of us upon demolitions. the area which means these residents don't have much time. the i was not able to carry any of our positions, not only my medication and some quotes. it's a really dire situation. the expansion of israel's military rates across the occupied westbank means that the possible to load around $40000.00 palestinians have be forcibly expelled from their homes. some of this is indescribable, it's beyond reason taught of destruction. they left nothing. standing, even beds, chairs, and fridges. it is as if the area was hit by a massive as quick evidence of as well as the tree escalation is all around in nablus rates continue in that you need refugee camp tanks can now be seen. it's the 1st time as well as deployed items to be occupied,

westbank since 2002 and come by to you. shock at the scale of the destruction. the so i will certainly have the bulldozed the roads, but they also destroyed the critical facilities on purpose. the town's main roads were intentionally destroyed, even the side accessed roads would not sped and it is total destruction. israel maintains these rates are necessary in order to reach out what it calls militants submitted, posting and see it as pulse with broad efforts to expand and cement is ready to control over the occupied westbank laura code which is 0. let's go so it's a come here and i'll just air including measles make service such as in texas. kidding, one child. most of those have corporate disease and fox. something more than that. the

or hey, it probably isn't. it's going to snow in japan, now they want us who shall still to go through on the end of the thing. and then the wind direction is the south west of it. but it's a much woman direction. so it'll be a bit of a solvent, los through friday and probably into a saturday the in the northeastern shot is not sub 0. and you know, there's a hint, there might be a return to code briefly, but most of the immediate future and the still the know facing the monsoons, the seasonal wind still blowing down. it was not bringing any showers with the knife of the nose and for the patients. yes, in the side of the shower of the concentrated and the seasonal big channels are likely in java. and in bonia, increasing the sumatra and the 2 in the lazy. they are creepiest finals is cat, which doesn't have a dry months. but cheryl is all fatty, right? they didn't come to bring rain back towards the straight line. okay. maybe the small islands and the baseband go. otherwise,

to drive picture for india and for buying possession until you get it singles west . these are significant shares. they've got cold air sites that you present, so a lot of snow is good to for again in the mountains and the northwest of india and northern pakistan, increasing the avalanche risk once again. but to have the advance because charles liked this, frequent shares to mix up the have improve the quality of the new to these 2 is not good. the

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the new watching out. just a real quick reminder on top stories here. this uh, the 1st proofread has been in business has been created by gibbon and crowns in ramallah. you'll find west bank, at least $646.00 palestinians are expected to be released as part of the sweet spot deal between how much is how much is released for bodies. it says now those of us really comp keeps killed in concept as well as proceeds remains on his conducting dna tests to form any identify

the u. s. president donald trump said ukraine can forget about joining nato. he made the remarks during the 1st cabinet meeting of his administration. his comments. com was the cranium president brought to me as the landscape of june, washington on friday to sign the red minimal deal. i'll just say it was charles dropping report from a capital case. so hopefully, yet he must, ukraine's leader says it's a framework agreement and there was still more tools needed on us security guarantees present to the motion with the void. this deal could be a great success, or it could post quietly. the big success depends on our conversation with president trump. zalinski, hopes us ukraine, minerals deal will secure support from the us president. often the ukrainian leader rejected the 1st us draft because of what he says, we're missing security guarantees. trump called him a dictator unemployed ukraine was responsible for starting the war. so let's get

you scheduled to travel to washington on friday and sign the deal. but questions remain over what security guarantees to us is offering. trump said on wednesday that europe will be offering security guarantees and not see us. so the most disagreement could be possible future security guarantee. but i want to understand an agreement is an agreement, but we need to understand the pro division like what lies next for ukraine and where we are in all of this to you appear. leaders say zalinski has every reason to feel pressured and left out. he was excluded from the 1st round of us. russia talks in saudi arabia last week talk. so due to is humans hook you on thursday, but the state department says that ukraine will not be on the agenda. ukraine is also demanding us security guarantees before it signs a potential investment fund deal, which would be jointly us ukraine managed for use in ukraine's eventual

reconstruction spike. and the last few tell avenue is received by ukraine from glens or license for members of dividends and infrastructure facilities use for transportation. i'll extraction that i live in monroe's. this will be ukraine's contribution to 50 percent of such revenues. we will invest in this fun jointly with the us for the recovery of u claim was the drop deal does not refer to any ukrainian debt for us age cube over the past 3 years. do you as president, previously demonte to 500000000000 dollars in revenue from ukraine's natural resources? a number zalinski said was unjust. and one li, inaccurate. president zalinski has been on the immense pressure from the trump administration to sign this deal. he says that if he sees trump in washington on friday as expected, he will ask him some very direct questions. but even if he doesn't get the old says he wants to have he risk trumps. and again, charles stuff,

but i'll just 0 case. there's an intense fighting in and around, so damage capital cartoon. 2 police today is i'm is pushing to seize, full control the best it to you from the permanent to rapids. the full force are assessed which has control large parts of the city. for almost 2 years. government troops, one bucks several, a positive cost to him in recent weeks. and don, for the army, says it conducted as strikes against our assess ministry positions in and around as sasha mean. all the world full programs is it's pulled out of one of saddam's most at risk displacement comments because it's become too dangerous. it means thousands at sam's. i'm camping down for christmas foundation. humanitarian disaster caused by for them. civil war was a subject to the meeting of the united nations on wednesday. i'll correspondent, cable or something with what's during the un security council briefing on sudan, it was confirmed. the fighting has reached the sam, sam, displacement camp and humanitarian workers. but for now,

portions to hold their operations, the united nations world food program has also just confirmed suspension of voucher based food assistance in the camp. do two's in security and the destruction of the market. the whole thing of a significant because famine conditions have been confirmed in the sam sam camp where an estimated half a 1000000 displaced civilians are sheltering. it must have been a pretty difficult decision just to halt this w. f p program. given the conditions it must have been, are harrowing decision to take for those who had to take it. but we also need to be very concerned about the safety of our own staff and they can we can then go back as soon as conditions permitted. the suit, nissan boy, use the meeting to accuse kenya of backing the rapids support forces or r s f. before we go on at the height of the money, the canyon president has recognized the parallel government, which your council now has condemned. and it is led by the r s. f militia who have

here. a year ago. one of them was put hit with a young, a 78 year old mother might have been loose, never thing. i passed by and wave since i can't speak to her anymore in person. it's a consolation with our mother was just one of the victims of the deadliest wildfire truly has witnessed tens of thousands of people, most everything. but worse yet because the discovery that the fire was intentional put on our you know, simple, very angry fuse when i feel that was the fuel evil. we think so many people, including children, died from our maintenance in a year later, a further south, wild fires believed to have been lives intentionally, are spreading in the country. a region authorities can see it's one of the hardest crimes to prosecute because the evidence is burned. then covered with water and

chemicals, and step down by firefighters city. will this a blaze in the summer? could it be easier? all you need is what they call the 3rd. he ratio that is wins above 30 kilometers per hour. temperatures above 30 degrees and humidity below. so he percent then was just a cigarette and a few matches. you can set fire to the motion to twigs that are everywhere here, giving the culprits just enough time to make their get away from nearby highway. that's exactly what happened last year says special prosecutor for wild flyers or somebody to a sudden don't. yes, in a rare exception, the alleged perpetrators of last year is deadly. fire have been caught of the 7 facing trials. one is a volunteer fireman, and others, paid firefighters from the national far as be corporation. he need, i've seen, seen deals basis by to define them on wanted to put top 5 so that he would be seen as a hero. while the others wanted more wildfire. so that they could child drive autonomy

mostly, that phone messages proved that it was they themselves who started the fight as a ocean don't, says pyromaniac sor, attracted by the fire. but in most cases of intentional fires, the symptoms is lori vengeance or money moses that are increasingly spreading destruction and death. to see and human al jazeera, we know that much to the power has been restored in trinity opera. nationwide blackout funds 19000000 people in the darkness. cars and buses are returning to streets. business is our reopening and public transportation is back on track. the all parties have now lifted a national state of emergency. the power outage was 2 days west and 50 new years. i'm just dropping everything from traffic lights to compromise. suspension isn't argentina, protest again, but as iras against president, have you on malays? economic reforms, right? please confront of demonstrates as which on to down with dictate to shift as

a company, red rash is one of the most contagious viruses on earth. before a vaccine was introduced in the 19 sixty's, it killed 402500 people a year in the united states. it's resurgence is particularly frightening for parents of vulnerable amino compromised children who don't vaccinate your children . we will run into them in those public places. the united states declared measles eliminated as of the year, 2000 due to high vaccination rates. the only new cases that year came from abroad. but since that vaccination rates have decreased and infections have risen, including here in new york. in 2019 rockland county, new york talking vaccine requirements in schools after an outbreak lead to more than 800 infections. bobby, you were speaking at the white house on wednesday, robert kennedy junior, the self described vaccine skeptic and current secretary of health and human services said he was watching the current epidemic. and we're going to continue to
