they include 13 israelis — six of them elderly women, four children and their mothers. in the next few days, a total of 50 israeli hostages are expected to be released. ten thai nationals and one filippino were also part of the group today — released under a separate deal. well, as those scenes were unfolding, one israeli man, gil dickmann, whose aunt was killed by hamas, and whose two cousins are still being held hostage in gaza, gave us his reaction. i know family members... ..of the kids who are coming back home now. i can't believe it, it'sjust... so happy to know they are here in israel. i feel as if part of my family came back. i really think many israelis feel the same. and i really hope we get to see yarden and carmel back too

really, really soon. this is such a blessed moment. in return, israel will release 150 palestinian prisoners, starting with 39 women and teenagers. huge crowds gathered to welcome them home as they were bussed by the red cross to the beitunia checkpoint in the occupied west bank. the un says 137 aid trucks have been unloaded in gaza today where, for now, the ceasefire seems to be holding. gaza's hamas—run health ministry says more than 14,000 people have been killed during israel's offensive, which began after 1200 people were killed and around 240 hostages were taken by hamas seven weeks ago tomorrow. hamas is designated as a terror organisation by the uk government. the us played a major part in securing the ceasefire deal. president biden hasjust been speaking from nantucket,

where he's spending thanksgiving, and said they won't stop until all the hostages are home. today has been the product of a lot of hard work and weeks of personal engagement. from the moment hamas kidnapped these people, i, along with my team, have worked around the clock to secure their release. we saw the first results of this effort with the release of two american hostages in late october, followed by the release of two israeli hostages. i have consistently pressed for a pause in the fighting for two reasons — to accelerate and expand the humanitarian assistance going into gaza, and two, to facilitate the release of hostages. us the release of hostages. presidentjoe biden speak earlier. us presidentjoe biden speaking earlier. let's take you live to israel. this is the scene at the schneider hospital, and we are hearing that another helicopter is due to arrive here shortly with more of those hostages. apologies, that

is the second helicopter which has just arrived. about half an hour also ago we saw the first of the helicopters arriving there. my colleague said he heard eight of the hostages were on board that helicopter. as you can see, behind those two ambulances there, they have put up screens so that hostages can discreetly be loaded onto the buses, where they will be taken to the main hospital to receive treatment. so, as you can see there, those pictures there from the schneider children's hospital. earlier i was speaking to a doctor at a different hospital who said he had received two of the older hostages for treatment and was waiting for more of them to arrive, so the process is that hostages are released, then taken to egypt, then

israel and the priority now of course is to ensuring they are properly checked and that they get the right health treatment now as they are freed. lets join our panel tonight. elise labott — american journalist covering us foreign policy, national security, and international issues, and also professor at american university school of international service and the founder and editor in chief of zivvy news. hgppy happy thanksgiving week to you. and paul waugh — chief political commentatorfor the i paper. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. let me start by getting your reaction to today's news. you cover foreign policy, it has been nearly seven weeks since hamas�*s attack, did you think this would happen sooner, the release of this group of

hostages and the release of palestinian prisoners as well? you knew that from _ palestinian prisoners as well? 7m. knew that from day palestinian prisoners as well? 7m, knew that from day one that these negotiations were going on, but these type of complex negotiations are very complicated, there are a of parties involved, and there have been discussions going back—and—forth. sometimes you thought it would happen and then there would be a step back us someone would violate the terms of what they thought they had agreed to. there were several times prime minister netanyahu rejected the deal on the table. it was really after the personal involvement of president biden with prime minister netanyahu that this took place. i'm not surprised it took place but i think what you will see is that hamas will try to drag this out and it was interesting that some of the foreign nationals, thai nationals, filipino nationals, clearly they will try to use the average they

have, the american and european hostages, to keep this going. so they can have a pause in the fighting, they can get more aid in, but it is a bittersweet day. because obviously all of israel, particularly these families, are very happy these women and children, 13 of them, have been released. some of these children as young as five. but there are so many more that have not been released, and the fear is that something will happen, there will be a miscalculation or someone will be a miscalculation or someone will violate the terms and then this pause that seems like it could be going on for four days with up to 50 israelis released and up to 150 palestinians released, that this could continue. i am not surprised there are lots more palestinian hostages because itjust goes to show you that it shows you how much value israel places on the value of its own citizens.—

its own citizens. let's bring call in, the youngest _ its own citizens. let's bring call in, the youngest of— its own citizens. let's bring call in, the youngest of the - its own citizens. let's bring call. in, the youngest of the hostages released today was actually two. there is a child at the age of two, four and six there is a child at the age of two, fourand six and there is a child at the age of two, four and six and nine. paul and other key element is the fact that more aid can now enter gaza. that is a significant thing given what aid agencies have been saying for a number of weeks.— agencies have been saying for a number of weeks. yes, that has alwa s number of weeks. yes, that has always been _ number of weeks. yes, that has always been israel's _ number of weeks. yes, that has always been israel's stance, - always been israel's stance, effectively there will be aid in if there _ effectively there will be aid in if there are — effectively there will be aid in if there are hostages out. that is the direct_ there are hostages out. that is the direct equation. the key here is that, _ direct equation. the key here is that, as — direct equation. the key here is that, as elise was saying, on day one, _ that, as elise was saying, on day one. this — that, as elise was saying, on day one, this has been a question of all sides_ one, this has been a question of all sides trying — one, this has been a question of all sides trying to negotiate really hard _ sides trying to negotiate really hard to— sides trying to negotiate really hard to make sure this happens, but from day— hard to make sure this happens, but from day one it was always hamas's intehti0h_ from day one it was always hamas's intention that this would arrive. the point — intention that this would arrive. the point of hostagetaking was for one day— the point of hostagetaking was for one day israel to have some sort of pause _ one day israel to have some sort of pause in _ one day israel to have some sort of pause in the — one day israel to have some sort of pause in the fighting and some sort of prisoner— pause in the fighting and some sort of prisoner swap in return. and it

they are accused of a range of offences, from throwing stones to attempted murder. 2a women and 15 teenage boys were freed and transferred to the beitunia checkpoint in the occupied west bank. there, they were greeted by a crowd waving flags, and fireworks could be seen overhead. the group will soon be allowed to return home, according to israel's prison service. the detainees were chosen from a list of 300 women and minors compiled by israel. the vast majority are being held on remand while awaiting trial. 0ne palestinian released was arrested in 2015 when she was just 16 years old and sentenced to eight and a half years injailfor a knife attack on a border police officer. she said the news of the deal was a

surprise. here is the moment she was reunited. translation: i reunited. translation: ., ., ., , translation: i feel emotional, it is a ve aood translation: i feel emotional, it is a very good feeling _ translation: i feel emotional, it is a very good feeling but _ translation: i feel emotional, it is a very good feeling but we _ translation: i feel emotional, it is a very good feeling but we are - translation: i feel emotional, it is a very good feeling but we are also l a very good feeling but we are also very sad because this deal came after the death of many innocent people and this makes us unhappy and uncomfortable. they separated me from the other inmates and i had no idea what was happening to the other palestinian logical prisoners. taste palestinian logical prisoners. we can no palestinian logical prisoners. we can go live now to a senior palestinian affairs analyst at the international crisis group. your group is all about finding solutions to lasting peace. let's first of all talk about the events of today, do you think this ceasefire could go on beyond the four days, is there any hope of that? beyond the four days, is there any hone of that?— beyond the four days, is there any hoe ofthat? ., ,, ., , ., hope of that? well, it appears hamas is interested — hope of that? well, it appears hamas is interested in _ hope of that? well, it appears hamas is interested in negotiations - hope of that? well, it appears hamas is interested in negotiations and - is interested in negotiations and has tried engage in negotiations before. israel on the other hand has

indicated this humanitarian pause that will last for the duration agreed, four days, and that changes nothing in the israeli military objectives, to destroy hamas and ensure an entity like hamas does not rule the strip. it has also complained that this could go on for another —— it has also said this could go on for another two months. it depends if the international community can rein in israel. let me ask about the _ community can rein in israel. let me ask about the aid _ community can rein in israel. let me ask about the aid situation _ community can rein in israel. let me ask about the aid situation because i ask about the aid situation because thatis ask about the aid situation because that is one of the key takeaways from today as well as the release of the hostages and palestinian prisoners. but many more aid trucks have crossed into day and age agencies have been calling for the levels to be higher —— aid agencies. to meet growing needs in gaza. yes. to meet growing needs in gaza. yes, aid agencies — to meet growing needs in gaza. yes, aid agencies warned _ to meet growing needs in gaza. is: aid agencies warned that this to meet growing needs in gaza. .23 aid agencies warned that this pause would not be sufficient enough in order to get the kind of aid needed

into the strip in order to get even the amount allowed in, it is a fraction of what is needed. it really is... aid agencies have confirmed that. what this ultimately offers gaza is a minimal level of respite. offers gaza is a minimal level of resite. :, ., ., ., respite. you mention earlier how you do not think — respite. you mention earlier how you do not think the _ respite. you mention earlier how you do not think the ceasefire _ respite. you mention earlier how you do not think the ceasefire will- respite. you mention earlier how you do not think the ceasefire will last. do not think the ceasefire will last beyond four days. one of the priorities, we even heard from the us president this evening, is to ensure all the hostages are safely returned home. one of the key players in some of these negotiations is qatar. what you think they could do next to ensure that all of the hostages are returned safely and that aid does get to gaza and israel's bombardment ends as well, which is what both sides want effectively? the ends as well, which is what both sides want effectively? the onus is not on gaza. _

those released. those set to be released, their homes have been raided, theirfamilies have been warned no celebrations are allowed. really i don't see how... ijust really i don't see how... i 'ust wanted to fl really i don't see how... i 'ust wanted to pick i really i don't see how... i 'ust wanted to pick up i really i don't see how... i 'ust wanted to pick up on i really i don't see how... ijust i wanted to pick up on something really i don't see how... ijust wanted to pick up on something you said, he said the onus was on the israel and the us, but the onus is also on hamas who sees those hostages on the 7th of october. that is riuht. hostages on the 7th of october. that is right- and — hostages on the 7th of october. trisgt is right. and hamas is negotiating, it is winning the hostage negotiation deal. you also have to question why israel, there has been no question as to why israel can release 150 hostages in exchange, never mind the 8000 that it currently holds in detention. you are talking about administration and security detention, that was prior to the 7th of october. the 250 taken were taken as leveraged to take those being held by the

palestinians or they would not be putting themselves in areas where they are being used as human shields and such. but for pr and to get this palestinian hostages released and get more aid in, it does give them more large s with the palestinian people given everything that is going on. and again, as we have been saying, resident biden has been that real shoulder to shoulder with prime minister netanyahu and israel, and i think they will continue to push the israelis to keep this going, to keep the pores going, because once you get all of the hostages out. i presume that hamas is not going to get all of the hostages out because they know the date they do, and everyone keep saying it, notjust the israelis, but the us, once the hostages are out, the war will start again, fighting will start again. that will be very difficult for the

international community. after four or five days, international community. after four orfive days, it international community. after four or five days, it could be extended if there are more hostages. israel have said they will extend the pause in fighting for a date every ten hostages released. if you keep that going, it will be very hard for the israelis with international public opinion to then start again and the cooling start again. i think what president biden wants to do is use this as some kind of leveraged to work into some kind of permanent deal now. what that could look like, i do not know, but given the fact that eviscerating, completely destroying hamas is going to be extremely difficult if not impossible, i think president biden wants to use this pause to wedge a further more lasting ceasefire. that is the key point. — further more lasting ceasefire. that is the key point, it _ further more lasting ceasefire. that is the key point, it is _ further more lasting ceasefire. that is the key point, it isjust a is the key point, it is just a temporary pause, but of course a chance indeed for some relief for

the people in gaza. after seven weeks of bombardment. and a chance for hostages, a number of them to come back. stay with us here on the context, coming up... top diplomats from south korea, japan... the top diplomats of the united states, japan and south korea haven condemned north korea's recent launch of a spy satellite — with the state department confirming a call took place among the group on friday. on tuesday, north korea said it had placed its first spy satellite in orbit. it released this vision on state media, showing a gigantic rocket blasting off. oscar pistorius has been granted parole 11 years after he murdered his girlfriend, rena steenkamp. let's look at some other stories making news. west midlands police have been ordered to make urgent improvements and will be monitored more closely by the government. the inspectorate of constabulary said the second largest force in england and wales wasn't carrying out effective investigations and was failing to manage the risk posed by registered sex offenders. the chief constable said he completely disagreed with the decision.

hundreds of amazon workers are on strike today, black friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. the gmb union says about a thousand workers have joined the strike in coventry. walk—outs are also planned across europe and the us over a pay dispute. unions say it is the biggest day of industrial action in the firm's history. the world's biggest iceberg is on the move after more than 30 years stuck to the ocean floor. �*a23a' is almost 4,000 square kilometres in area — that's more than twice the size of greater london. it initially split from the antarctic coastline in 1986, but quickly grounded in the weddell sea, essentially becoming an ice island. those are some of the other stories we have been taking a look at. you're live with bbc news. the top diplomats of the united states, japan and south korea haven condemned north korea's recent launch of a spy satellite — with the state department confirming a call took place among the group on friday. on tuesday, north korea said it

had placed its first spy satellite in orbit. it released these pictures on state media, showing a gigantic rocket blasting off. north korea's leader kim jong—un celebrated the launch — saying it propelled the country into a new era of space power. south korea says it's not yet clear if the satellite is actually functioning. us state department spokesman matthew miller confirmed the group of leaders would continue consultations in response to north korea's "irresponsible and unlawful actions." for more on this, i'm joined by aidan foster—carter, honorary senior research fellow in modern korea at leeds university. thank you forjoining us. tell us how significant this development is, how significant this development is, how much should we be paying attention to this? it is how much should we be paying attention to this? it is important to -a attention to this? it is important to pay attention _ attention to this? it is important to pay attention to _ attention to this? it is important to pay attention to it _ attention to this? it is important to pay attention to it and - attention to this? it is important to pay attention to it and it - attention to this? it is important to pay attention to it and it is . to pay attention to it and it is inevitable and almost rather ritualised that north korea's

enemies, the united states, south korea and japan will condemn it. i'm quite relaxed about the satellite on two grounds. one you have already alluded to. we don't know if it will be any good or not. the other is, appoint a number of strategic experts have made, what do you think the risk really is in korea? up until now, north korea has not had what the united states and south korea has had for years, real—time intelligence to track the enemy is “p intelligence to track the enemy is up to. that leads to risks of miscalculation, not knowing what they are doing, they might think there is an attack and is not one. now, if it does not work, we don't need to worry, if it does work, kim jong—un and his generals can see nothing is happening. the last thing south korea and the us want to do is change the status quo on the peninsula. maybe it is actually a good thing, it is quite widely shared actually.—

been launching missiles like there was no tomorrow for ages and ages. this isjust one more. we was no tomorrow for ages and ages. this isjust one more.— this is 'ust one more. we will bring the this isjust one more. we will bring the anel this isjust one more. we will bring the panel in- _ this isjust one more. we will bring the panel in. paul— this isjust one more. we will bring the panel in. paul and _ this isjust one more. we will bring the panel in. paul and elise. - this isjust one more. we will bring the panel in. paul and elise. whati the panel in. paul and elise. what you make of these developments, paul? . you make of these developments, paul? , . .,, , ., you make of these developments, paul? , . , ., , paul? the sheer cost this would be to net a paul? the sheer cost this would be to get a spy _ paul? the sheer cost this would be to get a spy satellite _ paul? the sheer cost this would be to get a spy satellite up _ paul? the sheer cost this would be to get a spy satellite up into - to get a spy satellite up into orbit — to get a spy satellite up into orbit. this is one of the poorest countries — orbit. this is one of the poorest countries in _ orbit. this is one of the poorest countries in the world, people are starving _ countries in the world, people are starving and you have had reports this summer to the bbc and other outlets _ this summer to the bbc and other outlets that the starvation in north korea _ outlets that the starvation in north korea is _ outlets that the starvation in north korea is worse than it has been for some _ korea is worse than it has been for some time — korea is worse than it has been for some time because it has sealed itself— some time because it has sealed itself off— some time because it has sealed itself off in 2020, partly because of the _ itself off in 2020, partly because of the pandemic and partly because of the pandemic and partly because of the _ of the pandemic and partly because of the economic sanctions that are beginning — of the economic sanctions that are beginning to bite. yet it is spending money on this militaristic obsession. — spending money on this militaristic obsession, almost paranoia that it is going _ obsession, almost paranoia that it is going to — obsession, almost paranoia that it is going to be invaded by the us and south _ is going to be invaded by the us and south korea. it is one madman's folly— south korea. it is one madman's foiiv given — south korea. it is one madman's folly given that awful dire situation for its population. you reminded me — situation for its population. you reminded me of— situation for its population. gm, reminded me of the dire humanitarian

in stronger winds and a few showers down some north sea coasts as well. most of the showers today, earlier on at least, have been across north eastern parts of scotland. but even here, those showers are becoming fewer and the wind is beginning to drop a bit as well. certainly got lighter winds inland. a lot of the cloud that we started the day with has been breaking up after some earlier sunshine. we've got the clear skies overnight. we will keep some clouds blowing into northern scotland. the odd shower down some of those north sea coasts. so here it won't be quite as cold. but away from here, we're looking at a widespread frost, the first widespread frost of the autumn. temperatures not desperately cold, but we could be down to minus four or minus five. it will certainly start chilly tomorrow, but at least we have the sunshine. and for many, it's going to be a dry and sunny day. again, there'll be a bit more cloud coming in to northern scotland. the winds not as strong down those north sea coast, but still the threat of the odd shower, particularly towards suffolk and norfolk. and of course, with that frosty start, it will be a cold day. temperatures typically in the afternoon, only 5—6 degrees.

now, i mentioned some changes for the second half of the weekend. and that's coming about because this area of low pressure is slowly pushing these weather fronts in from the atlantic. and that means more cloud and some patchy rain arriving across northern ireland, moving over the irish sea and into the southwest of scotland as well. elsewhere, though, it should be a dry day, but of course we've got more cloud coming in over that cold and frosty start. so even though the winds are light and we have the cloud around, it is going to feel cold away from that rain in the west. temperatures again, 5—6 degrees. so a chilly old weekend. quick word on the early part of next week. we do see some rain arriving overnight into monday. that clears away, and it's going to stay cold.
