authorities had said before it israeli hostages will be released by hamas on friday afternoon at moo local time. the names of the 13 hostages to be released have been handed to qatari mediators and now passed on to the four—day pause in fighting in gaza will start on friday morning at 7am local time. prisoners being held in israeli jails will also be released as part of the delayed deal. humanitarian aid will start to go into gaza as soon as the pause in fighting actually starts. well, let's go straight to tel aviv, straight to anna foster. finally we have the exact details of the first stage here. ~ ., ~ . �* exact details of the first stage here. ~ ., a, ~ ., here. we do, matthew. and invite at this yesterday _ here. we do, matthew. and invite at this yesterday i _ here. we do, matthew. and invite at this yesterday i think _ here. we do, matthew. and invite at this yesterday i think people - here. we do, matthew. and invite at this yesterday i think people here, i this yesterday i think people here, perhaps people in gaza as well thought that this hostage deal was a lot closer than it actually was. we had expected times. we had about potential choreography that was due to happen today and around about midnight last night local time we heard from israel's national security chief that in fact there

had been a delay. i think a delay that we never quite got to the bottom of. we never really found out conclusively in the press conference given by the qataris of why things ended up moving back and what the sticking point is actually well but your right to say we had a lot more detail in that press conference about exactly how this will work tomorrow so to 7am local time will be the first element of this hostage release deal and that is a ceasefire for a period of time so israel's defence forces. there fighting in the gaza strip. that will happen early, localtime. the gaza strip. that will happen early, local time. and then there will be a period of quite a few hours before the release of the first group of hostages. now, this is something we expect to see repeated over four days. we is something we expect to see repeated overfour days. we are is something we expect to see repeated over four days. we are told tomorrow that 13 hostages, we believe, the names of whom have already been provided to israel and israel say that they are now contacting those relatives and families. we expect them to be released and brought from gaza back into his will and then the

suggestion as there will be a two hour time window for israel to release a number of palestinian prisoners held in a prison, an israeli detention centre in the west bank. those prisoners will be released and returned to their homes, we believe, in the occupied west bank and then humanitarian aid we talked about there, that is important. we are led to believe that 208 tracks, a far larger number than we've seen on a single day so far will be allowed to enter into the gaza strip, not meeting the humanitarian needs of those civilian to live there, many of whom have been displaced but we are at the stage now, i think about a lot of the detail has been confirmed. i think it is fair to say that some of this is still being worked out, you know, these talks, this deal has been going on for weeks. i think even at this moment the finer details are probably being agreed and ironed out, the finer details of what will happen to those hostages, where they will go, how they will be

treated, what kind of humanitarian aid goes on, all of these things, i think my will gradually unfold over the next 2a hours but it is one of the next 2a hours but it is one of the most significant moments in this war so far that we have seen in the last seven weeks. find war so far that we have seen in the last seven weeks.— war so far that we have seen in the last seven weeks. and we were “ust showin: last seven weeks. and we were “ust showing pictures i last seven weeks. and we were “ust showing pictures of i last seven weeks. and we were “ust showing pictures of some i last seven weeks. and we were “ust showing pictures of some offi last seven weeks. and we were just showing pictures of some of the - showing pictures of some of the areas that the hostage families congregate. it is still excruciating for them, congregate. it is still excruciating forthem, isn't congregate. it is still excruciating for them, isn't it? the first list of 13 but it does appear that we will have to wait, day by day, to get new lists. and that is agonising for all of those families. it is get new lists. and that is agonising for all of those families.— for all of those families. it is and ou are for all of those families. it is and you are right- — for all of those families. it is and you are right. this _ for all of those families. it is and you are right. this area - for all of those families. it is and you are right. this area here - for all of those families. it is and you are right. this area here in i for all of those families. it is and i you are right. this area here in the centre of tel aviv is a big square outside the tel aviv museum of art and they call it hostage square and you can pick up t—shirts, yellow ribbons, there is this huge empty table that you can see behind me, all of these empty chairs that represent those hostages, still more than 240. let's not forget that this is a small number of around 20% of the hostages. women and children, as

we are told, in this first grouping. your right to say this is an agonising moment for some of those families and some who i have been speaking to, you know, they described as bittersweet because they have become a very close—knit group and for some of those families they know, particularly if their loved one who is being held hostage as a male under the age of 20 or so, they know that they won't be seeing them as part of this first hostage release. those who are missing children are hoping that they will be returned to them in the next four days or so. but let's have a little listen to some more of that detail from that press conference. qatar's foreign minister has been speaking just in the last hour. you heard it here on bbc news, about that truce. we have just finished with all the communication with all parties in order_ communication with all parties in order to — communication with all parties in order to ascertain the lists of those — order to ascertain the lists of those civilians who will be freed as a result _ those civilians who will be freed as a result of— those civilians who will be freed as a result of the deal agreed upon by both parties. the lists have been

until early— place all three yesterday went on until early morning today with the egyutians— until early morning today with the egyptians and the parties of the conflict — egyptians and the parties of the conflict present here in doha. the meetings — conflict present here in doha. the meetings went very well and in a positive — meetings went very well and in a positive environment and the results. _ positive environment and the results, of course, was the implementation plan of the agreement which they— implementation plan of the agreement which they have always said needed to be something that is concrete and ready— to be something that is concrete and ready to _ to be something that is concrete and ready to create a safe environment for the _ ready to create a safe environment for the release of the hostages. some _ for the release of the hostages. some more of the detail of what has been agreed that are being confirmed ljy been agreed that are being confirmed by qatar and of course, qatar, if you are wondering, have been crucial in all of this would have these negotiations don't happen directly between israel and to hamas. qatar is the main broker of all of this. and that is why those details and so much of this agreement, the information we hear comes from them. anna, just a wider question,

finally, because benjamin netanyahu has repeated day or so the overall objective which is to destroy hamas but still saying he intends to get all of the hostages out. i mean, there are obvious difficulties with those two statements, and there? you are riuht. those two statements, and there? gm. are right. you're absolutely right and i think it puts into context what we're seeing here which is the first release of 50 or so hostages only, we are told, women and children. we believe all of the children, not necessarily all the women who have been held hostage, and we had again the qataris in that press conference saying that they hope that this leads to a more permanent truce. now, that is highly unlikely because the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, even when he was talking about this being agreed by the israeli war cabinet and security cabinet and government just yesterday, that he again made it crystal clear that there was this four—day pause, once it had finished, they would continue their military action against hamas. it is

also interesting because we talked about the palestinian prisoner release element of all of this. we spent around 150 but the list that has been compiled and released because people here in israel are able to appeal against that happening, they have to release a list of names of palestinian prisoners before they are actually allowed out. that this has 300 names on it so there is scope there for more hostages than that 50 to actually be released. i think that is the hope. but you're absolutely right in saying, matthew, of course, other families, right in saying, matthew, of course, otherfamilies, some of right in saying, matthew, of course, other families, some of the families i've been speaking to over these last few days, they know that their loved ones will not be in that first group. they know that fighting is likely to resume. they're hoping, hoping, perhaps, that the hostages released might be able to give some information prove of life of the loved one is that they are missing but israel has made it very clear that it does want to recover those hostages but, you say, the destruction of hamas as is your�*s, you know, one of his real�*s primary objective still. you know, one of his real's primary objective still.—

objective still. thanks for taking us through _ objective still. thanks for taking us through that _ objective still. thanks for taking us through that breaking - objective still. thanks for taking us through that breaking news. | objective still. thanks for taking - us through that breaking news. let's continue with this with our security correspondent. in terms of the details you have heard, what you have heard and what we don't know still, your assessment. late have heard and what we don't know still, your assessment.— still, your assessment. we are not there yet- — still, your assessment. we are not there yet- that _ still, your assessment. we are not there yet. that is _ still, your assessment. we are not there yet. that is very _ still, your assessment. we are not there yet. that is very reassuring l there yet. that is very reassuring that they qataris are felt confident enough to make that announcement because a few hours ago it was looking a bit slippery, to be honest. because you had a cheap israeli spokesperson saying that hamas were adding new conditions, which was really worrying. we know that there were problems in trying to, for hamas, to try to gather up these hostages and get all the names and genders and identities matching what israel had. there was a mismatch between them. the israelis obviously have set up an operation for hostages very same after the october seven raid and they've been trying to keep close and careful tabs on who has been taken into the

os, examining the clues that they can put up for hamas, the difficulty is that they scatter them around very quickly. not all of the hostages that were seized and that they are being held by hamas put up around 30 or so are being held by palestinian islamic militia group inside the gaza strip. they have said in a statement they are not going to give everybody up until all prisoners are released from prison, there is around 7000 of them so that is not going to happen straightaway. they have gone for the lowest hanging fruit foot of the women, the children, the the noncombatants. but that still leaves around 150 plus hostages held presumably underground in tunnels in gaza said the mediation is going to continue and qatar is going to continue as well that abbott is not over when 50 is released over the next days. the plan agreed yesterday is that, after

the first 50 arrived and 150 palestinians are released, there will be batches of ten day and for every ten that come out, this is not certain that they will come out, for every ten hostages that hamas release israel will extend the pause by one more day. remember that there is a mismatch here. hamas and most of the region want the pause to be indefinite. they don't want to see gaza being hit any more. israel wants to on because they want to finish off the job of defeating, not defeating but eliminating hamas's ability to hit israel. because they say if they stop now, hamas had made it very publicly want to try to hit them again. {lari it very publicly want to try to hit them again-— them again. of assisting in yesterday _ them again. of assisting in yesterday to _ them again. of assisting in yesterday to john - them again. of assisting in yesterday to john bolton, l them again. of assisting in i yesterday to john bolton, the them again. of assisting in - yesterday to john bolton, the former us national security adviser who is against this deal and saying it hands overjust hamas's ability to set the agenda, to elongate the ceasefire and possibly regroup.

there are risks with this deal, added there?— there are risks with this deal, added there? . ., added there? there are under our opponents — added there? there are under our opponents on _ added there? there are under our opponents on both _ added there? there are under our opponents on both sides. - added there? there are under our opponents on both sides. there i added there? there are under our. opponents on both sides. there will be people on the hamas side, on the more extreme militant side, it is already an extremist organisation but there are extremist within that too will have opposed this. likewise, the israeli side, they happen because among some far right extremist for the death penalty for anybody captured. that has been opposed by the hostage family since they don't do that that will make it even harder to get them out. people are not necessarily singing from the same hymn sheet, which is why it is frankly an incredible achievement by qatar, egypt and the united states to have brought these two bitter enemies together to have any kind of a deal. but it is not over yet because we have not seen any of the new hostages come out. and. because we have not seen any of the new hostages come out.— new hostages come out. and, of course, new hostages come out. and, of course. there — new hostages come out. and, of course, there is _ new hostages come out. and, of course, there is so _ new hostages come out. and, of course, there is so much - new hostages come out. and, of course, there is so much here i new hostages come out. and, of. course, there is so much here that is so fragile. it is such a difficult deal to have put into

place and similarly, it will be a deal that is easy to actually get off the rails in terms of the fragility of it? you make yeah, i mean, you know, anything go wrong but that's hope it doesn't. the fact that the icrc, the international committee of the red cross, has been able to get out for hostages already, save thee out, bodes well. there is a mechanism. isn't hamas's interest to protect those hostages coming out and the one to come out after that if they are going to, you know, see the palestinian prisoners coming out at the other side of the deal. ultimately, though, the whole region and the wider islamic world want this world to stop now. they don't want to see it resumed. —— make this war to stop now. it is not just israel saying we will carry on shooting after this finishes. hamas had put out a statement yesterday finger is on the trigger so their war doesn't end either which is why israel wants to end hamas. there is

no plan that i can see for day two, after this. yes, and in terms of what lies ahead these sorts of pauses have been elongated and that ultimately led to a ceasefire that has been in place but at this time is your making it absolutely clear that that is not going to happen because of what happened on october seven. this time they say it is different. problem here, matthew. and it is one that was put quite eloquently, i think, and it is one that was put quite eloquently, ithink, by and it is one that was put quite eloquently, i think, by the ministers, the contact group that came to london yesterday. this of the saudi egyptian _ came to london yesterday. this of the saudi egyptian jordanian - the saudi egyptian jordanian nigerian the saudi egyptianjordanian nigerian and indonesian ministers. their point was this. they say we don't like us, we condemn what happened on october seven. but you can't beat, you can't defeat, you can't beat, you can't defeat, you can't kill off a bad ideology, their words. referring to hamas. unless you have got a better one to offer people. and at the moment there is nothing to offer are living in a

shattered part of the world put up every single person in the gaza strip will have been scarred by what has happened. as indeed are israelis and what happened on october seven so to find a way out of that there has to be some return to some kind of peace process and i know that is very much a denigrated phrase these days because it dribbled away into the sand but her problem is that, you know, terrorism continued, in israeli words and western words. and it's really settlements continued spreading right across the west bank and into eastjerusalem. the very areas that are supposed to be a future palestinian state. so that has been an obstacle to hope for the future. i5 has been an obstacle to hope for the future. , , , ., has been an obstacle to hope for the future. , , i. , ., has been an obstacle to hope for the future. , , ,, , ., ., future. is funny you should say that because i started _ future. is funny you should say that because i started the _ future. is funny you should say that because i started the week - future. is funny you should say that because i started the week talking l because i started the week talking to the former israeli prime minister and he said exactly that. he said it does not feel like the time to be talking about a two state solution orany talking about a two state solution or any sort of formulated peace deal but actually, ultimately, that is where this has to end up. that was

his thought on what we have been seeing over the last six weeks. thanks very much for taking us through all of that. plenty more on this, our main story here, in a memo to put up around world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. household energy prices will rise in january putting more financial pressure on billpayers at the coldest time of year. energy regulator ofgem said the typical annual household bill would go up by 94 pounds or 5%. it said the rise in bills would be worrying at a difficult time for many people, but was the result of higher wholesale costs faced by suppliers. the car manufacturer nissan is expected to announce on friday that the electric versions of the qashqai and thejuke are to be made at their sunderland plant. the plant currently employs around 6,000 staff to build petrol versions of the two cars as well as the electric leaf. families will be £1,900 poorer at the end of this parliament compared with the beginning, according to the think tank,

the resolution foundation. it said this government would set a "grim" new record for living standards going down. but chancellorjeremy hunt said the tax cuts announced in the autumn statement would put more money in people's pockets. you're live with bbc news. as new details on the deal between israel and hamas emerge, let's talk to adam ma'anit, whose cousin is one of the israelis being held by hamas. thank you so much for being here on bbc news. can i ask you, in terms of what we have heard in the last hour, what we have heard in the last hour, what you have made of that as you have listened to this detail emerging?— have listened to this detail emerauin? . ,, emerging? thank you, matthew. obviously. _ emerging? thank you, matthew. obviously, really, _ emerging? thank you, matthew. obviously, really, really - emerging? thank you, matthew. obviously, really, really relievedj obviously, really, really relieved that the children and some of the women hostages will be hopefully released by tomorrow morning. we were hoping it would happen this

morning put up you can imagine what is like to be a parent of one of those children, waking up this morning and still none of your children being home yet. obviously, for people like myself, my family, we are continuing to hope that this leads to more hostages being released and he can come home because your children to have missed their father and would like to see him. in their father and would like to see him. , ., , , , their father and would like to see him. , ., , ,, ., him. in terms of the process, what have ou him. in terms of the process, what have you been _ him. in terms of the process, what have you been told? _ him. in terms of the process, what have you been told? because - him. in terms of the process, what have you been told? because we i him. in terms of the process, what. have you been told? because we have had the first 13 names. it does appear that, day by day, we will get appear that, day by day, we will get a new list. in general terms, what is that like for the families? i mean, each day isjust another mean, each day is just another nightmare day. as far as we're concerned. because we still don't even have proof of life. we know if

my cousin is alive, whether he is well and healthy, so we are asking for the red cross to visit the hostages, the remaining hostages and inform others of their starters so that we can at least have some comfort in knowing if he is ok. obviously, hamas has a lot of cards to play here. and they are playing them. you know, it is not in their interest to relinquish all the hostages immediately and they are going to be playing for time because time suits them. and that is the thing that i think about this is that ten hostages a day being dragged on, this could go on for months, at this rate. there are over 240 hostages. we don't know, even, if the schedule of ten a day is going to be realistic past a five day period. so we wait and see. does

rushing to bomb shelters, it was very early in the morning on a saturday, people were still in their pyjamas, so they rushed into the bomb shelter which we only have seconds to do when you are that close to the border, these shelters tend not to have the locks on the doors so once it was clear that terrorist had infiltrated the community, he was holding the door firmly closed and his daughter who is 18 years old, was helping him. the rest of the family were carrying inside the shelter. and the terrors shot their way through the house, went door, they shot their way into the bomb shelter and when they broke through they shot his daughter, his first—born. she was 18 years old. she just celebrated her 18th birthday. the balloons for her party was still up in the house. and he and the rest of the family had to sit and watch their loved one, their beautiful girl die in front of them.

he had the blood of his daughter all over his clothes and we know this because the terrorists not only were not satisfied with visiting that particular atrocity upon us but they insisted on asking her mother to unlock iphone so they could take a live stream of their terror to the rest of the family on her facebook so we have the pictures, we have the video of him and the rest of the family, terrified, horrified, in grief, broken and then, eventually, the terrorists, perhaps fearing the idf, they need some security, so they took him he was most able to walk and they carried him off as captive to gaza and his fate is currently unknown. i captive to gaza and his fate is currently unknown.— captive to gaza and his fate is currently unknown. i am so sorry to make available _ currently unknown. i am so sorry to make available of— currently unknown. i am so sorry to make available of that. _ currently unknown. i am so sorry to make available of that. it _ currently unknown. i am so sorry to make available of that. it is - make available of that. it is extraordinary, terrible detail but

13, but for all of us tomorrow, it is going to be colder, the temperatures are going to be dropping. instead of this westerly wind that most of us are seeing today, we will replace it with more of a north or north—westerly wind, and that is going to drag down the colder weather overnight and into tomorrow, the colder air coming in behind that weather front there, and this is where the weather front is this evening. there is not much rain on it at all, that sinks down to the south—west, clear skies follow, and a few showers into scotland, and those will turn wintry. it could be stormy in shetland as well. frost—wise, overnight it will be coldest, i think, in scotland and the far north, enough cloud elsewhere to keep the temperatures a few degrees above freezing. the cloud we have got in northern ireland, wales and the south—west could produce one or two light showers, but should break up, sunshine coming through. most places will be dry and sunny. we still have showers, mostly of rain in northern scotland and driving down the north sea

coasts where the winds are strongest. temperatures wise we are looking at generally into single figures, but it will feel cold where the winds are stronger, so northern around eastern scotland, and all the way down these eastern most parts of england we have the strongest of the winds, and so temperatures are going to feel more like one, two or three degrees — a shock to the system. as the winds drop overnight, tomorrow we will get the first widespread frost of the autumn. lowest temperatures will be inland, away from those exposed coasts. numbers could be low as minus five. but for saturday, most places will be dry and sunny. it is not going to be as windy, there won't be as many showers down the north sea coast. there will be more cloud in northern scotland. temperatures again sitting around six or seven degrees. it will feel cold again on sunday but there will be more cloud around.

this is bbc news, the headlines. after weeks of negotiations, qatar says 13 israeli hostages will be released by hamas on friday afternoon. there will be in 13 all women and children and those hostages from the same family also be put together within the same patch.

israel and hamas agree to pause the fighting at seven
