mexico city. we'll bring you the story of a well known mexican writer as he chronicles his journey around the streets of the capital. we have the look at what's happening in business. there's a shake up in the entertainment world. >> battle between two media and film giants. time warner rejects 28th century fox's $80 billion author. will he back down or bring more money to the table? >> it's midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. washington, 2:00 p.m. israel where an official has told bbc there will be a comprehensive cease fire friday morning following talks in egypt. after ten days of fighting, israeli raids have left 227

palestinians dead. hamas rockets have killed one israeli. a five hour long cease fire nearing the end now was agreed to allow gaza residents to stock up on food, water, other supplies. both sides say the other side has broken the truce early. israel saying three mortgagers were fired during the cease fire. hamas reported there's israeli mortgager fire in the gaza strip. let's bring you up to date with breaking news. let's take you to kevin in jerusalem. give us more of what you know of this cease fire meant to start tomorrow. >> we know it's pretty limited. it's encouraging. real first sign of light in nine dark days here. we're hearing from israeli sources that there will be a comprehensive cease fire. we know that talks have been going on behind the scenes for a while in cairo brokered by egyptian military intelligence. that's involved not just israel

but also delegations from ji had and hamas and other gulf arab states who's financial backing will be a key in the deals. the possibility of a cease fire has been there all along for a while now. the israeli delegation now returned here and reported to the prime minister netanyahu a high power delegation. heads of intelligence agencies, personal envoy of mr. netanyahu. i think we need to be a little cautious at the moment. we're hearing from israel, one of the players in this. it will feel more confident and solid when we hear from hamas, ji had and key nations too. very encouraging significant news coming as the humanitarian pause begins to tick down.

>> that's obviously crucial. we're waiting to hear from hamas. when do you think that could take place? what's the usual thing in terms of timing? >> hamas is a complex organization. it has military and political structureses, leaders in exile, leaders in hiding of course in gaza. they've been targeted in raids. we know they're represented at a senior level in these talks. jihad was represented too. they may feel they have to send a signal to their people in gaza before they talk to the wider world. their priority won't be international news media. it will be their people. if a cease fire is due to start tomorrow morning, it won't be long before we hear from other players. this will be more some i had when we have the words of other

sides. >> we've had reports from both sides the cease fire has been broken. can you sum that up at all? >> certainly there were reports a while back of mortgage area tacks into israel. i haven't heard reports of fire back. we had been working on the cease fire story. neither of the breaches would reach the level for response on the other side. this remains a different situation. there remains no are trust between israel and hamas cease fire or not. i would say it's more or less held. we've been looking at pictures from gaza city of people shopping, going to the bank, enjoying walks in the streets. from their point of view, as we're speaking, it is held well

enough to enjoy a brief taste of normal life. let's see if the process in cairo gives them a more sustained return to normality tomorrow. >> thank you for bringing us up to date. as soon as we hear more from reaction from hamas telling bbc the cease fire starts tomorrow morning, we'll bring that to you. later on the program here on "gmt," we'll take you live to gaza and talk to a big humanitarian aid agency there about what it's been like over past few hours trying to get work done while the current cease fire has been in place. stay with us for this. now to more breaking news we're getting. reports from ukraine that a russian military plane has shot down a ukrainian su-25 fighter yet. we're getting this according to the defense council. it's believed the the pilot of the downed jet managed to eject and was later evacuated by

ukrainian forces. daniel sanford joins us from moscow. have we had confirmation from russian officials this has taken place? >> no comment from officials yet. i think it will take time before they process what the allegation is and decide how to respond. the allegation was made by the formal spokesman for the national defense and security council of ukraine in a televised press briefing. he said that a ukrainian su-25, a fighter jet flying over ukrainian territory involved in military operations over ukrainian territory was hit by a missile by what he said was a russian aircraft. the su-25 was shot down. the pilot managed to evacuate. he was recovered by his own forces. the allegation is obviously incredibly serious.

a russian military aircraft shot down a fighter jet over ukrainian soil. >> what would happen if this proves to be true? how would this escalate the situation? > >> we've seen a creeping allegation over the weeks. there was a russian allegation sunday a shell had been fired from within a ukrainian territory into russian territory killing one man in a small village on the border. then the allegation by the ukrainians that their transport aircraft was shot down by the territory. then pictures of a multiple rocket missile launcher showed it fire into ukrainian territory. then this. there's a sense without announcement, russian forces are

becoming more involved in the war in eastern ukraine. >> daniel, tell us more about the reaction from president putin over the new sanctions. he seemed rather furious. >> yes, very furious reaction from the russian foreign ministry. sanctions were outrageous. the eu involvement in the sanctions was because they had succumbed to u.s. blackmail. president putin himself on a tour of latin america said these were causing great damage to the relations between america and russia and the relations were heading into a corner. so he certainly suggesting the relationship is deteriorating further between russia and america. that relationship was very poor after russia annexed crimea from ukraine. we'll keep across the story. these reports that a russian military plane shot down a fighter jet and also across the gaza situation as well.

for now, let's bring you up to date with other news. there's a fierce battle between taliban insurgents and force close to the kabul airport which is used by nato forces as well as aircraft. taliban fighters detonated a fire bomb and fired grenades from the airport. afghan police say six insurgents were killed. the president of honduras called on the united states to create an antidrugs plan. 50,000 unaccompanied children have entered the u.s. illegally since october. most trying to escape poverty and violence generated by drug cartels in central america. now plans to send an unmanned probe to mars by 2021 and set up a national space agency to oversee the mission. the president described the project as the islamic world

. the israeli parliament has

voted to scrap a carbon tax. abbott says it will increase business and push down household power bills. critics say abbott is taking the economy backwards. >> 32's. the clean energy legislation carbon tax repeal bill and seven related bills passed. >> so australia's price on carbon is no more. the vote in the upper house of parliament came after the government won the support of the micro parties and independent senators. the tax saw the biggest polluters for each ton of carbon dioxide they created. the levy is said to be a hand break on the australian economy.

>> you voted to scrap the tax in september last year. today the parliament finallien willed. today the tax that you et vo -- you voted to get rid of is gone. the tax that hurt family's cost of living and hurt the environment is gone. >> because australia is responsible for 1.5% of global emissio emissions, whatever it does is inconsequential. australia is among the world's highest per capita emitters of green house gases thanks to a reliance on cheap supplies of coal. critics say the prime minister created a monumental blunder. >> today abbott made australia the first country in the world to reverse action on climate

change. history will will judge abbott very harshly for refusing to believe in genuine action on climate change. tony abbott is sleep walking australia to an environmental and economic disaster. >> this is the world's driest inhabited continent. in 2013, australia had its to h toughest year on record. temperatures are forecast to increase. is this a man-made problem getting worse or part of a natural cycle? australia is attorntorchl torn. the debate grows more decisive. following the death of his young wife in a surfing accident, the celebrated writer goldman spent five years mourning her loss. in his latest book, the mexico city chronicle is a portrait of the mexican capital where he and

his wife lived. it's a story of goldman overcoming the fear of traffic to drive through the streets. it's also the story of a husband emerging from his grief. >> seem to be having problems with that package. let me update you on breaking news we've been bringing you. firstly from israel, just to confirm. bbc has been talking to israeli fishes that says a cease fire has been agreed for tomorrow morning. just to say we have not heard from hamas or egypt on this. we're looking to get some comment from them straight away. we'll bring that to you as soon as we get it. let's return to the streets of mexico city and that package

we were about to bring you on francisco goldman, driving his way through the streets, part of the way he learned to deal with grief over the loss of his wife. >> mexico city is constantly generating. it's almost a passport to go from one neighborhood to another because they're so different. the book is really about my relationship to mexico city. i've been living there off and on 20 years. i've written my books there. when i have fallen in love, i fell in love there. everything changed in 2007. my then 30-year-old wife, having the love of my life die in that city where we had been so happy. we lived between there and new york. really deepened by relationship to the city. in a way that i struggled with. since five years since she died,

i haven't driven once with a nowhere to go nothing to do attitude. >> mexico city has the traffic. it's a way of enacting this new embrace of mexico city. i'm going to drive. the book is about a rewakening the city. i'm going to change the sheltered way i live here and get out. it so happened there was a terrible crime, unprecedented crime, the kind that only is supposed to happen in the different zones. 13 young people were kidnapped from a nightclub. i began to look into it. i got obsessed with it.

it brought me into this neighborhood. this is a big market in mexico city. it has been since colonial times. the place is full of its own dark genius, entrepreneurial place in the city. it's dangerous, just human density is incredible. anything you can think of is sold there. if they don't have it, they'll get it. it was rivetting to me. i began to come out of five years of brief. one door after another opened. i plunged in. >> there with his new book called the interior circuit. china is in the midst of a

crack down after a series of terror attacks it blames on weeger muslims. most of the community is based in the northwest. in recent weeks there have been hundreds of arrests of weeger separatists. terror attacks have been widespread across the country. three men and wone woman a wait sentencing from the station where 29 passengers were hacked to death. >> it's not hard being a muslim in china, but it is now hard to be a weeger. the government blame weegers who want a separate state or weegers intend on holy wall for every major terror attack it faces. once there were hundreds of weegers mosques across china.

now only a handful brave police checks. training to make sure the attack never happens again. a handful of murders armed with knives randomly butchered civilians in a public space. public confidence was shaken. training comes too late for the 29 that died and many more that were wounded. this woman, four months later, still in a coma. her brother describes that terrible night. he had gone ahead with their luggage. when he heard shouting and rushed back, he found bodies strewn across the concourse. his sister lying in a pool of blood. he thinks those responsible should face the death penalty. >> there are more good guys than bad guys. as for bad guys, government has to crack down hard on them.

>> even before the attack, china was spending more on internal security than national defense. now armed police are out across the country. there are victim ares on all sides here. the murdered and injured were mostly from the ethnic hand majority. >> also victims of the innocent chinese weeger citizens who struggle now to find a job, to rent a flat, or even to travel on a train without being resented or suspected by the person sitting next to them. at this weeger restaurant, business has nose dived. the staff and their families outnumber the customers. fasting is suspect or growing a beard. >> we weegers are under a lot of are pressure. it's hard to travel anywhere. police ask you where you're from

and what you're doing. >> these waiters are not interested in freedom fighting. they'd like someone to dance with and customers to serve. as the security crack down escalates across china, anyone can become a suspect. weegers were famous for love of music and dance. a reminder of breaking news we've been bringing you here on "gmt." a potentially significant development in the crisis in ukraine. we've been hearing from kiev. the government accusing russia of shooting down jets. we've been telling the you about reports of israeli officials of a possible cease fire that could

in half hour, a senior israeli official tells bbc there will be a comprehensive cease fire friday morning. after nine days of fighting, people in gaza are making the most of the five hour humanitarian cease fire. keeping newborns connected to their umbilical cords longer can give benefits. we look at what's happening in business and russian markets feeling the pressure of

sanctions now. >> u.s. imposed more sanctions on russia. we'll look at what impact sanctions could have on the russian economy. welcome back to "gmt." thanks for being with us. let's return to our top story now. the conflict in gaza. an irali official has told the bbc there will be a comprehensive cease fire 6:00 a.m. friday morning following talks in egypt. over days, israeli raids have left palestinians dead. one israeli has been killed. now gaza residents are allowed to stock up on food, water, other supplies. both sides tell us the other side has broken the truce early.

israel says three mortgagers were fired from gaza. hamas television says israeli air fire has been fired there. >> this is a market right in the heart of gaza city. it's the biggest market here. at the moment, it's absolutely crowded with people. we're half way through the temporary cease fire that's being announced. everyone is taking advantage of the chance to come out and get supplies whether fresh vegetables over here or meat over here. after ten days now of fighting, people have been running out of supplies at home. >> today it's good. before this it was the blockade and bombardment. wasn't good. >> we're so excited to have the cease fire so we can go out to get stuff for our children to eat. >> this is one of the main roads here. since this complex with israel

began, it's completely empty and quiet. now we're back to what would be a normal site in gaza city. cars flooding through, making lots of noise. honking of horns is a sound track to city life. this is a queue of people trying to get into the bank of palestine. before this round of fighting began, there was a dispute over the payment of civil servants here. hamas didn't have the funds to pay workers and banks are closed. now with news of the banks to be open, during this cease fire window, many have made it their priority to get here and get cash. >> that humanitarian window set to close in half an hour's time. just to remind you, we have not heard from representatives of hamas and cairo or gaza. or from the egyptian government on news from the israelis that a cease fire agreement has been agreed to tomorrow morning.

we'll bring that news to you. the israeli president spoke to bbc and apologized for deaths of four children that were killed playing on a beach wednesday. these killings were not deliberate. >> i think it was intent none. we are really sorry to see four children being killed. i think the air force is really taking maximum care not to hit children. even single violence. if they see a child they don't do it. that was an accident because it was an area we warned that will be bombed because there was a great concentration of weapons.

unfortunately they didn't take out the children. we didn't have the slightest idea about it. >> israel's president speak there to bbc. we can bring you more news of this potential cease fire. israeli officials tell us it's comp hencive and could start at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. this comes after israeli officials were in egypt speaking to many sides involved in this conflict. we take you to cairo and speak to sally there for us. i know you've been speaking to the egyptian foreign minister. what did he tell you? >> that was earlier in the day today. he told me the negotiations are still going on between different parties. let me get you what we got from the deputy head of the hamas political bureau. he is saying here now in cairo. we asked him concerning this cease fire and what israeli officials said about the agreement concerning a cease fire.

he absolutely denied and said there's no agreement reach sod far. that's what the deputy leader of the hamas political bureau said concerning the cease fire. as for the egyptian foreign minister who i met earlier in the day, he said negotiations are involving all departments. when i asked about hamas saying it has not been contested by the egyptian party, he said we contacted everybody, communicate a ed before we came out. other regional parties in this talks specifically turkey and cut tar. if these overshadow any roads by any means and he said absolutely not. they are welcome for any party to participate. he was very clear about the fact that the egyptian cease fire initiative is the only one which

has international recognition so far. >> do palestinians feel egypt is the best country to be negotiating? >> in a way but we have tension in egypt. a couple of months ago egyptian court banned hamas group in egypt. perhaps this has cast a shadow over the egyptian efforts being exerted now to reach agreement. 2012 when ex president morsi was leaving, egypt managed to broker a peace deal or cease fire agreement between hamas and israel. now things are more complicated given the current regime is having a tense relation with hamas. >> thanks for joining us from egypt there. sally speaking to a member of hamas that denies the cease fire

has been agreed tomorrow. we're work on bringing you more on that. meanwhile inside gaza, there's 20 minutes left in the current seize fire. let's take you over to our correspondent in gaza. thank you for being with us. how much have you managed to achieve in the past five hours? >> in the first five hours, seems to be back to normal. five hours were t not enough at all for the aid workers to be able to assist the devastating situation that resulted from the situation during the last ten days. there has been vital water and infrastructure that have been damaged. hospitals and medical clinics have been affected. the aid workers need more time to be able to assist the huge humanitarian needs in gaza.

>> are you obviously hoping we get reports of a possible cease fire agreed for tomorrow? you must be desperate for more time? >> actually we're calling for a long term cease fire and lifting for blockade imposing gaza since 2007. this blockade has affected all aspect of life in gaza including freedom of movement. economy recovery in gaza. health situation has been impacted so much because of this. >> thank you for joining us. good luck. any furtherer developments on the breaking news we are getting about a possible cease fire tomorrow. just hearing from our correspondent in egypt that she has been speaking to hamas. they have not agreed to the cease fire. anymore news we'll bring straight to you. as populations across europe age, loneliness and isolation among the elderly is becoming a problem. germany tackling this issue

>> these centers cater to all ages but are 450 of them in total across germany paid for by the federal and local government as well as fundraising. >> the key concept is we all have something to give. babies cheer up the day of many and grandchildren may live many miles away. younger generation learn of skills and experience elders gained over many years. >> as the population ages, these houses provide crucial opportunities for older people to remain active and involved in their own communities. to celebrate with each other is

houses. regardless of their age. >> the teens that attend centers sometimes teach themselves with smart phone and tablet houses also gaining insight with attitudes of younger people. >> it's nice to see younger people are interested in what we do. they're interested in us. you don't see that on the street very much. that's what i've learned from being here. >> these centers are popular under the effective. it teaches young and old alike the value of one another. >> wonderful idea. do stay with us on bbc world news. still to come, battle of felines cat owners battle it out to have theirs recognized as the world's oldest cat.

$80 billion. that amount time warner argues isn't enough. it says its shareholders would be better off going in alone. would the group be too big to manage and question whether so much of the u.s. media is controlled by one firm. time warner said there are no further discussions, however shares did jump 17% to level offered by fox signaling the final markets don't think it's over. >> time warner is the second largest media company in the world. it's peaked the interest of one. it happened to be the world's largest media. if 21st century was successful in the bid to take over time warner, it would create the world's largest media company with two hollywood movie

studios, local television stations across the united states. the most watched cable news network and closest rival cnn not to mention several popular channels like hbo, tnt and tbs. in order for 21st century fox to be successful in the take over bid, it will need to cough up more cash. >> even though the premium suggested was over 20%. a company like time warner is a once in a lifetime opportunity. these kinds of deals rarely come around. >> although time warner rejected fox's offer, this company has a determined ceo at the house. if murdock sees a good deal,

business and russian economy? >> well many the first place, these are targeted sanctions. they're still targeting individual companies rather than broad sanctions we have been talking about in recent weeks. they will affect the individual companies. they will effectively access credit in the united states over 90 days. it has wider implications for russian economy. through the indirect effect of these sanctions which are effectively challenged the confidence which is already shaken in the russian markets. we've seen today in the markets. >> those are the two key points. access to credit so important for russia business also confidence to invest in russia from the eu and u.s. more likely eu which is bigger market. >> indeed. european union has not announced

sanctions against business corporates in russia. we'll probably get announcement by the end of this month. the important effect of expectations of investors of somebody to be targeted and everybody getting what it will be, that's making its way through the markets. >> okay. good to speak to you. thank you very much. that's a round up of business for you. >> good to see you. thank you so much. a new study in argentina shows newborn babies can reap the health benefits a delay in cutting their umbilical cords. >> the first moments after birth can be crucial for a baby's well being. the baby is attached to the mother by the umbilical cord, the lifeline for nutrition will through pregnancy. the cord is where the baby's blood passes which is a third is

in the placenta for a while. it's been known a short delay of the clamping and cutting of cord gives the baby a great start to life. >> wait two minutes before clamping the umbilical cord, we can allow that blood which belongs to the baby to return to the baby. however it is uncomfortable to wait two minutes with a baby slippery, wet, moving, maybe crying. >> dr. vine and his team compared what happened to a baby held as recommended for the outcome of babies handed to their mother. they found the same results in each group. regardless of where they're held, all babies gain about the same amount of weight, 50 grams. this is possible because a third of the blood inside the placenta can flow into the baby's body. flood is essential because it

contains iron. >> 30 to 50% of babies born in developing country, anemia is a concern with around one in ten suffering from it. >> at the moment, as little as 10% of babies are delivered using delayed clamping. solution can be easy as this simulation shows. baby can be placed on the mother's chest while the cord keeps pumping blood. >> it keeps create an immediate bond between the mother and child. we professionals don't have to keep waiting. i think giving the baby to the mother can be easily done. >> this immediate bond she experienced with her when born. >> it was a beautiful moment. i felt a great connection. i could touch her, caress her. i think this is mental to build a new relationship.

>> dr. vine and his team hope this study can convince more health practitioners to delay cord clamping so it becomes routine. those extra two minutes can make a big difference for health and bonding. the fur is really flying at moment as pet owners fight over one of the most interesting and p prestigious titles, the world's oldest cat. the record came to an end after an impressive 24 years. owners have come forward to stake their claim to the title. >> this is maddie. she's 24 and in cat years that makes her 113 years old. she lives at home of artist barry and they're now wondering whether she can be a contender for the oldest cat in the world.
