real assessment for the people, particularly in south casa, where they have been gathering to have the humanitarian supplies distributed to them to help them survive and maintain some kind of ability to give them medical help. but maintain some kind of ability to give them medical help. but what i imauine, if give them medical help. but what i imagine, if you're _ give them medical help. but what i imagine, if you're watching - give them medical help. but what i imagine, if you're watching around| imagine, if you're watching around the world and we know how desperately this aid needed, people might be visualising a constant stream of trucks with aid, but that is not happening, is it? it is stream of trucks with aid, but that is not happening, is it?— is not happening, is it? it is to a decree is not happening, is it? it is to a degree because _ is not happening, is it? it is to a degree because they _ is not happening, is it? it is to a degree because they will- is not happening, is it? it is to a degree because they will have i is not happening, is it? it is to a . degree because they will have been lined up waiting outside the rafah crossing, but as part of the deal which the qataris have negotiated, there will have to be strict monitoring because there has to be the assurance that nothing is coming in on those trucks however well they have been supervised with medical supplies, blankets, shelters, fuel, whatever that it doesn't contain other things which, as part of the deal, the israelis are insisting

cannot comment to help the hamas terrorists, what they are concerned might happen. that is where the pace will be dictated by the amount of monitoring and making sure that is fully cooperated with in order to keep the flow going. find fully cooperated with in order to keep the flow going.— keep the flow going. and the many checks that — keep the flow going. and the many checks that will _ keep the flow going. and the many checks that will be _ keep the flow going. and the many checks that will be taking - keep the flow going. and the many checks that will be taking place, i keep the flow going. and the many checks that will be taking place, as we can imagine. can i ask you about the hostages?— we can imagine. can i ask you about the hostages? how will that work? as auainst the hostages? how will that work? as a . ainst the the hostages? how will that work? as against the monitoring _ the hostages? how will that work? as against the monitoring of _ the hostages? how will that work? as against the monitoring of the - against the monitoring of the lorries, that primarily works by making sure that the coordination of the transfer of people from wherever they are being held in gaza, through probably intermediaries because you can imagine those holding them will not want to be identified, will they be identified to the international committee of the red cross and red crescent. they will have agreed that there is a point that can be brought to where they will immediately assess if they have severe medical

emergency needs or if they are in the position of either being walking wounded or extremely psychologically traumatised. it'll be a very dear —— delicate, careful, professional, and they are extremely experienced in this, and they will have a point at which the supervision of those being transferred will be taken to a border point, which i understand has not been announced, i understand thatis not been announced, i understand that is for security reasons where there will be the ability for them to be assessed again medically, received into in soil where i'm sure there will be a huge amount of adulation, coupled with anxiety, relief and remembering it is only 13 to we are expecting to be transferred today out of the approximately 240 that we understand are held. it will be an eking out and are very carefully monitored process, but will be the red cross

and where they gather the people and how those transfers will take place so there is no danger of people from opposing sides coming into contact, there has to be that barrier and security because, as you say, we are dealing with people who will be extraordinarily frightened and traumatised. there will be the sense of relief, but at the same time guilt that they're to leave behind their close loved ones, their men folk will be particularly the ones they are leaving behind, and there may be going into a situation which however much their families are looking forward to receiving them back, they may not know who has survived and not survived the terrible events of the 7th of october. they may be facing further 0ctober. they may be facing further trauma as they learned the fates of the people who they were with at the time when they were taken into gaza. it will be extremely important that

the red cross, red crescent is very heavily involved because they have people who are really professional, really experienced at understanding how to handle these extremely delicate and traumatised situation. thank you so much forjoining us. with me is the bbc�*s security correspondent frank gardner. we can take your life to the airbase in southern israel. reda elmawy is the bbc arabic correspondant who is at the hatzerim airbase in southern israel, where the released hostages are expected to arrive. we understand that is where the hostages are going to arrive. it is so delicate, it is so fragile, what could possibly go wrong, dare i ask this question?— could possibly go wrong, dare i ask this question? plenty is the answer. a man who — this question? plenty is the answer. a man who helped _

been holding them, describe you have been held, what are the positions like all of these things. one of the sticking points of this steel previously was hamas's insistence that there should be no overflights during this transfer. they didn't want any israeli drones for surveillance aircraft flying over the gaza strip because they don't want to reveal where they have been hiding his hostages. if the deal breaks down, and that is still a possibility, they will be bracing themselves for israeli special forces rescues. i'm old enough to remember a film called the raid on entebbe back in 1970s were israeli special forces, entebbe back in 1970s were israeli specialforces, where entebbe back in 1970s were israeli special forces, where there was a raid in uganda freeing israeli passengers from a hijacked plane by hallas —— by palestinians. they will be braced for that and that is why they are trying to have this entire

transfer is done in the upmost sequencing with a minimum amount of surveillance. you are right, there will be an extensive debrief, so beyond the humanitarian bit there will be of direct military and intelligence angle to this. in terms of timings. — intelligence angle to this. in terms of timings, does _ intelligence angle to this. in terms of timings, does it _ intelligence angle to this. in terms of timings, does it seem _ intelligence angle to this. in terms of timings, does it seem like - of timings, does it seem like everything is on track? we think it is not about an hour and 15 minutes before this is meant to happen. yes. before this is meant to happen. yes, i soke to before this is meant to happen. yes, i spoke to a — before this is meant to happen. yes, i spoke to a military _ before this is meant to happen. yes, i spoke to a military -- _ before this is meant to happen. yes, i spoke to a military -- to _ before this is meant to happen. yes, i spoke to a military —— to military ispoke to a military —— to military personnel— i spoke to a military —— to military personnel here and they said it should — personnel here and they said it should be _ personnel here and they said it should be about four o'clock local time, _ should be about four o'clock local time, two — should be about four o'clock local time, two o'clock gmt and they said everything _ time, two o'clock gmt and they said everything is going on schedule, but there _ everything is going on schedule, but there might be last—minute changes. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the idf has said palestinians will not be allowed to move from south to north gaza during the truce. there are a number of videos circulating on social media that appear to show palestinians being shot at as they try to head from the south of gaza to the north of the strip. in some there are large crowds running from bursts of gunfire. at least one man is reported to have been shot dead and several others seriously wounded. the israeli military has said it is looking into the reports. the israeli military has posted a message on x, formerly known as twitter, to coincide with the start of the ceasefire. it is read in arabic, with english subtitles , and is intended for the civilians in gaza. translation: to the residents of gaza, the war is not over. . the humanitarian pause is temporary. and the northern gaza area is a dangerous war zone, it is forbidden to be there. for your sake and your safety, you have to stay in the humanitarian zone located in the south of gaza. do not head to northern gaza. you can move from the north to

the south via the salah al—din road. returning to the north is forbidden and very dangerous. your fate and the fate of your families are in your hands. make the right choice and stay in southern gaza. or move from the north to the south of gaza. consider yourselves warned. joining me now is abubaker abed, a young journalist who is based in deir al balah in gaza. i believe i need to start wishing you a happy birthday. what a strange day to have a birthday, i'm sure. tell me what life is like for you at the moment. tell me what life is like for you at the moment-— the moment. well, i'm really thinkin: the moment. well, i'm really thinking of — the moment. well, i'm really thinking of the _ the moment. well, i'm really thinking of the word - the moment. well, i'm really thinking of the word happy i the moment. well, i'm really. thinking of the word happy you the moment. well, i'm really- thinking of the word happy you said their because unfortunately there is no happy birthday in the gaza strip right now. to have all these atrocities at the same time, we have

seen horrifying scenes over the last 49 days. we have been through hell. everything has been damaged. three days ago we were sleeping through the night and all of a sudden, three direct missiles have hit the nearby square. more than 30 houses were directly hits, destroyed. we have had more than 90 mortars and many injuries at the same time. we have many who have evacuated from the south of casa to the north, this has become a place that is over the

their parents, so people are going back or going to the south of canned units to see their families because fathers are away from their sons, and families are separated, so not everyone is in the same place in the same house. pare everyone is in the same place in the same house-— same house. are people aware that this is 'ust same house. are people aware that this isjust a — same house. are people aware that this isjust a temporary _ same house. are people aware that this isjust a temporary pause? i same house. are people aware that i this isjust a temporary pause? some this is just a temporary pause? some reports i have heard is that some people in casa haven't understood that and think this is an end. it is not really. _ that and think this is an end. it is not really. but — that and think this is an end. ut 3 not really, but because those who have evacuated to the south, but they are separated in different houses. from a personal perspective, i can i managed to see my sister, also my mum —— my uncle saw my mother's side. at the same time,

many people did not manage to see their houses. the ceasefire has given relief to most people here in the gaza strip because as i have told you they have been suffering for a while, for the last 49 days. at the same time, the alloying the aid trucks into gaza strip has given much more relief to people because, as i told you, not everything is available in the gaza strip, food, water, especially the situations at the hospitals, particularly. it is catastrophic. _ the hospitals, particularly. it is catastrophic. it _ the hospitals, particularly. it is catastrophic. it is _ the hospitals, particularly. it is catastrophic. it is so _ the hospitals, particularly. it is catastrophic. it is so important to have you get through to us. we were really happy there was the electricity and the connection to hear your perspective from gaza. we do wish you happy birthday, as well. thank you so much. we

terrible attacks _ ireland. people in dublin in due to terrible attacks yesterday. - ireland. people in dublin in due to terrible attacks yesterday. first i ireland. people in dublin in due to terrible attacks yesterday. first ofj terrible attacks yesterday. first of all the horrific knife assault on the crime is being investigated and would be wrong to investigate further at the moment. then later there was an attack on the rule of law and legitimate authority. it was a relatively small group of people. the garda commissioner has set a little bit about some of the motivation that may have lent a that, but behaviour of that kind is unacceptable wherever it occurs. it is more shocking because it is so rare in ireland and the garda commissioner and his team responded in an exemplary fashion to the small flashpoint. you are right, in the united kingdom we have seen disturbances elsewhere. all i would say is it is a mark of ireland's that this sort of thing is so rare. it is a mark of ireland that the garda responded so quickly and it is a mark of our arrogance that there has been near universal revulsion over what happened and all of that

is testament to the strength of our low�*s democracy. let's update you with the temp two rescue the men from the channel in northern india. the teams trying to reach the trapped group with a pipe wide enough for them to be evacuated, say that about ten metres of rock are still separating them from safety. stretchers fitted with wheels will be used to roll them out via the pipe once the rescuers break through. hello. some of us may have started on the mildish side this morning, but things are already changing out there. arctic air, the blue colours in here, spreading to all parts of the uk during the rest of today, but notjust here — surging right the way through the heart of europe, down towards the mediterranean, with some significant snow over the alps. once that cold air is in place, we're going to stay on the colder side of things through much of this week ahead. temperatures generally below normal and more regular night frosts to be expected, as well.

the turn to colder weather today is because we've got a massive area of low pressure to the east of us, high pressure to the west and so northerly winds developing right across the country. early light rain or drizzle becoming confined towards the far south—west. still a bit more cloudy, still on the milder side of things to the end of the day, but for the rest of the country more sunshine developing through this afternoon. showers quite frequent down the eastern coast. where the winds will be strongest, 40,50, 60mph gusts. that will have an impact on the way things feel. it is going to be a chilly afternoon. temperatures, in fact, for some of the south, actually drop through the day rather than rise with many in mid—single figures. add on the effects of the wind, it will feel closer to freezing across some parts of eastern scotland and north—east england. it will be a chilly afternoon. winds remain brisk and a cold feel here tonight, but temperatures actually not dropping away as much as it will do through central and western areas. a ridge of high pressure building in and winds fall lighter tonight. one or two mist or fog patches, but the biggest story is just the widespread frost.

these are your city centre temperatures. in rural areas, particularly north—west england and southern scotland, minus five or minus six to start saturday. but what a cracking day it will be for many of you. a crisp, fresh start with lots of sunshine overhead. down the eastern coasts of england, north and east scotland will still have some showers around, maybe a little bit wintry over the higher ground and still a brisk wind towards those north sea coasts. but away from that, light winds, sunshine. it will feel pleasant, but it will be colder with temperatures for most in mid—single figures. then another cold night as we go into saturday night. a greater chance of some mist and fog patches too and frost for a while, but temperatures rise in the west later as a fairly small area of low pressure starts to push its way in, but it will be enough to spread in cloud more widely. after a chilly start, temperatures could struggle to rise for some. the best of the sunshine in the north and east, and the winds lighter here compared with saturday. but in the west, we'll start to see outbreaks of rain develop and further rain to come on sunday night.

today at 1pm, we're live in tel aviv as the first temporary ceasefire comes into effect since the israel gaza war began. in less than an hour some israeli hostages are due to be released, followed later by palestinian detainees. and this was the scene earlier at the rafah border crossing in gaza, where trucks carrying fuel and aid have begun moving into the strip. also on the programme... irish police make 34 arrests after rioting causes "huge destruction" in dublin.

the irish prime minister condemns the violence. i want to say to a nation that is unsettled and afraid, this is not who we are, this is not who we want to be, and this is not who we'll ever be. carmaker nissan announces a £2 billion plan to build three electric car models at its sunderland factory. organisers of the brit awards say they will update their rules after no female artists were nominated in this year's best artist category. and coming up on bbc news, mikel arteta has until today to respond to an fa charge after his post—match comments against newcastle earlier this month. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one.

in less than an hour, some of the israeli hostages
