80, after a long illness. hello, i'm azadeh moshiri. israel has informed the families of the hostages expected to be released in a third round of exchanges with hamas later today. qatar says 13 israeli women and children will again be freed, along with seven foreigners. another 39 palestinian prisoners are due to be released. meanwhile, hamas says four of its commanders have been killed, including the head of its north gaza brigade. we'll have more on that in a moment, but first, let's return to our breaking news. the former england football player and manager, terry venables, has died, at the age of eighty, after a long illness. venables — a charismatic and sometimes controversial figure — led england to the semi—finals of the european championship in 1996, where the host nation lost on penalties to germany.
1:01 pm
he managed a number of clubs, including tottenham and barcelona, where he gained the nickname, el tel. andy swiss looks back on his career. he brought the feel—good factor back to english football. at euro 96, terry venables took his team tantalisingly close to glory. cheering after dazzling their way to the semifinals, england's hopes ended in heartache. but for venables, it was the defining moment of a remarkable career. and how old are you now? 16 — so, football is your whole life? yes. you want it to go on being your whole life? yes. and so it proved. that teenager was soon knocking in goals for chelsea. but it was as a manager that venables truly blossomed. in 1982, he guided queens park

rangers to the fa cup final. singing before a stunning move to barcelona, where he won the spanish league title and earned the nickname el tel. visca el barca! next came tottenham, where he lifted the fa cup, before a clash with chairman alan sugar and controversy over his business dealings saw him sacked. but in 1994, england came calling and venables�*s coaching prowess reached its peak. 0h, brilliant, oh, yes, oh, yes! at a european championship on home soil, his team made it all the way to the semifinals, carried on a wave of national euphoria. crowd sings three lions agonisingly, defeat to germany on penalties ended their hopes. oh, no!
1:03 pm
but venables had given the fans an experience they and he will never forget. youngsters, of course, don't remember it too much, but their fathers will tell them all about it sort of thing. but it is, they do come up and they say, that is the best feeling we've ever had. and it's just a shame that it just wasn't to be. turned out all right. yeah. but it could have been better. but you can't take it away from me. despite his popularity with the fans, venables�*s business dealings remained under scrutiny. he stood down from england after the euros, managed australia, and also leeds united, before a brief return to the england setup as an assistant to steve mcclaren. but it's as a colourful and charismatic leader that he'll remembered. perfecto. and as the man who brought english football one
1:04 pm
of its most famous sons. let's cross to the sports centre, hugh ferris. thank you forjoining us. he's not only known for his managerial career but one who touched so many hearts as a player leaving teams to glory as a player leaving teams to glory as well. could you tell us more? terry venables, el tel, not only because of his time in barcelona but a culturalfigure because of his time in barcelona but a cultural figure from a time when football was trying to re—establish itself as a positive force, not only culturally but in the mainstream in england. you need to think about the team that he took over in 1994, just failed to reach the world cup under graham taylor. before that in euro 92 it hadn't had a great time either so not only was a team that needed lifting by a personality and perhaps a more progressive way of playing,
1:05 pm
it was also a country that had more than ten years of being really the poor relation in terms of european football. it had a bad reputation because of the behaviour of fans, it had been banned from european football for half a decade as well in terms of its club sides competing on the continent. so an england team and an england footballing nation was in need of a lift, and they got it from terry venables, not only in terms of his personality, he had been a television pundit as well during his time as a manager, but also in terms of the way he played his football. euro 96, the group stages produced two very famous wins for england first leg in scotland with that famous golf we just saw from paul gascoigne and also against the netherlands which encapsulated the netherlands which encapsulated the kind of football that terry venables had brought from barcelona, taken to spurs, ironically gone to barcelona with the old—fashioned england style of 4—4—2 but then turned a new page in his career, beating the netherlands 4—1 in that european championships is still
1:06 pm
talked about as one of england's finest performances. they got past spain and into the semifinals of that competition, all to the strains of that famous three lions song football's coming home, which still any time england are anywhere near any time england are anywhere near any success is still sung in the stands of an england game. it was an important time for england because of what they needed and terry venables, because of his personality, because of his progressive way of playing football and because of his time in barcelona, it was just what england needed. and he took them to the brink of what would have been an incredibly famous win.— incredibly famous win. football's cominu incredibly famous win. football's coming home — incredibly famous win. football's coming home sung _ incredibly famous win. football's coming home sung in _ incredibly famous win. football's coming home sung in tubes - incredibly famous win. football's coming home sung in tubes and| incredibly famous win. football's l coming home sung in tubes and at incredibly famous win. football's - coming home sung in tubes and at the pub, a huge impression affair, so what have the reactions been to his death? ., .,, what have the reactions been to his death? ., , , ., death? one of those players who heled death? one of those players who helped england _ death? one of those players who helped england to _ death? one of those players who helped england to the _ death? one of those players who helped england to the euro - death? one of those players who helped england to the euro 96 i helped england to the euro 96 semifinal in alan shearer, he said "the great terry venables has passed
1:07 pm
away, he said rip, bass, you were amazing." with teddy sheringham he spearheaded that scene in euro 96 along with paul gascoigne and gary lineker who knew him from his tottenham days, even if he had retired from dish international football before terry venables took over, "devastated to hear that terry venables has died. the best, most innovative coach i had the privilege and pleasure of playing for. he was much more than just a great manager, he was vibrant, charming, witty and he was vibrant, charming, witty and he was vibrant, charming, witty and he was a friend and will be hugely missed. sending huge condolences to yvette," gary neville who has become very famous as a pundit in recent years. he was a very young defender in the euro 96 squad. "so sorry to hear the news of my first england coach terry venables, a man who gave me the chance to play for my country and became without a shadow of doubt
1:08 pm
my number one england coach in my whole career. i sit here thinking today about my special times with terry and i can say he was the most technically gifted british coach we have ever produced." as far as his former club spurs is concerned, tottenham have not won the fa cup nor the league since the 1991 fa cup victory terry venables delivered. "the club is saddened to hear of the death of former player and manager terry venables. our condolences are with terry and his friends and family at this difficult time. in tribute we will hold a minute cosmic applause prior to kick—off and our players will wear black arm bands in the game against aston villa." that spurs game against aston villa kicks off in under an hour. and england football led by gareth southgate who famously missed that penalty in the euro 96 penalty shoot—out in the semifinals against germany, our
1:09 pm
thoughts and condolences are with terry's family, friends and former clubs. what you get a sense of here is not only the fact he was a successful player, he played over 500 times in his playing career, but as a coach he was successful because of the football he delivered but also it seems the man management skills, the ability to be notjust a coach but also a friend, an inspiration to those players that played for him. all of this in the context as well of the fact that perhaps he lost both the spurs job and the england job when perhaps both club and country might have wanted him to stay a bit longer because of some difficulties he had had a reputation early with his business dealings. it wasn't a career that was without problems. but still in the face of that he was a very popular manager with his players and with those fans that
1:10 pm
followed in his teams.— players and with those fans that followed in his teams. thank you for that. let's cross _ followed in his teams. thank you for that. let's cross to _ followed in his teams. thank you for that. let's cross to a _ followed in his teams. thank you for that. let's cross to a former- followed in his teams. thank you for that. let's cross to a former bbc- that. let's cross to a former bbc sports editor mihir bose. thank you forjoining us. we were talking about how he was beloved, notjust as a player and a manager and also as a player and a manager and also as a player and a manager and also as a friend, and also described as a colourful character. can you tell us more about that?— more about that? terry was a very colourful character— more about that? terry was a very colourful character and _ more about that? terry was a very colourful character and saw - more about that? terry was a very| colourful character and saw himself as more than a football man. he saw himself as a businessman, one who could run football. in fact, in one of his autobiography is, he wrote several, one of which he had to withdraw because of a successful libel action by alan sugar, he said i can manage football better than the chairman who doesn't know anything about football man that is where terry venables got into trouble. let's not forget that was banned for seven years by the man after a four—year investigation where he agreed to 19 charges of very serious charges which made him unfit to be a manager. i think that's terry venables's problem.
1:11 pm
terry venables is a football man was wonderful, he had great ideas when he went to barcelona may learn spanish and things like that. he was innovative. but when he tried to become a businessman, he tried to stop my own book about him called the false messiah by personally suing me about an article i'd written for the sunday times at a time when i wasn't working for the sunday times. one of the was when he was banned, he didn't accept he had done something wrong, or when the judge criticised his evidence in a court trial. he would not accept he had done something wrong. terry was so idolised, and we have heard how idealised he was, quitejustly so idolised, and we have heard how idealised he was, quite justly as a football man, and one could argue he got the england job a bit too late. he might have done more for england had he got it earlier. his players loved him. going into business and not doing it properly and being badly advised by the people he took advice from was to a certain extent
1:12 pm

to hear that their child is dead and you're relieved. i knew she wasn't in gaza. i knew she wasn't terrified out of her life. when he found out his daughter was, in fact, alive, he campaigned around the world for her to be freed. now the wish has come true. emily was among 13 israeli hostages and four thai nationals freed by hamas yesterday. the release was delayed for hours after hamas accused israel of breaching terms of the temporary ceasefire deal, which israel denied. doctors say 12 of the allegedly well. —— hostages were relatively well. -- hostages were relatively well. , , , ., , well. -- hostages were relatively well. , ,, ., , ., , well. despite the harsh conditions the have well. despite the harsh conditions they have been — well. despite the harsh conditions they have been under _ well. despite the harsh conditions they have been under and - well. despite the harsh conditions they have been under and the - they have been under and the experience of captivity, they did not require any emergency medical intervention. fine not require any emergency medical intervention-— intervention. one of them, maya reaev, is intervention. one of them, maya regev. is said — intervention. one of them, maya regev, is said to _ intervention. one of them, maya regev, is said to be _ intervention. one of them, maya regev, is said to be in _ intervention. one of them, maya regev, is said to be in moderate| regev, is said to be in moderate condition and will require a series of surgeries but is expected to have a full recovery. under the deal, 39 palestinian prisoners were also released. in the occupied west bank crowd celebrated as a bus carrying some of them drove through the town of beitunia. among those freed was six women. all the others were teenagers. overnight in israeli

1:17 pm
the palestinian side, hamas, communicated to the israeli government the names of those who are going to be released today, or are going to be released today, or are supposed to be released today. it is still a long way until that moment, of course. the israeli government said it communicated already those names to the families. but they asked the media to refrain from sharing any information about this until they get reunited the freed hostages get reunited with their loved ones. with the palestinian side they are still waiting to know the names of those who are going to be released. what we know is for the second day in a row, today as we expected they will be gathered in ofer prison near the west bank and once the israeli hostages are released and are in israeli custody, the israeli army is going to give the green light to the
1:18 pm
israeli prison authorities to start releasing the palestinian prisoners to a nearby police station where they are going to be reunited with theirfamilies. the ratio is 1—3, one israeli per three palestinians freed and the deal so far over four days they should be releasing 50 israeli prisoners, or dual nationals from gaza against 150 palestinian prisoners. earlier we got this update about the condition of the hostages from an israeli medical centre. we meet here today after a very long and emotional night for us, where we as a organisation had the amazing privilege of being able to treat our brothers and sisters, our children that have been kept captive by the hamas in the last few weeks.
1:19 pm
the edmond and lily safra children's hospital, together with the whole sheba medical center, has been preparing for this opportunity. we've gathered the best professionals and trained them. we learned a lot. we consulted with our peers and with the israeli ministry of health and tried to prepare to be able to give those that were kept captive any care and attention they might need when this fortunate event where they are released, happens. and indeed, last night, after a very confusing and stressful period at around 3:30am, we received these 12 captives,
1:20 pm
children and women that came back. they underwent a medical evaluation and a psychological evaluation. i am happy to say that despite the fact that the harsh conditions they have been under and the experience of captivity, they did not require any emergent medical intervention. the bbc has been speaking with omer lubaton granot — four of his family members were kidnapped during hamas' attack on israel on october 7th. he was asked about his reaction to the release of the hostages. we are thrilled, of course. it's a very happy, happy day
1:21 pm
and i think it's the good news that all of our nation needed it after six very long weeks to see the smiles of those kids, to see the hugs and their reuniting with their parents that were waiting here. it's amazing. it's a great feeling. we really hope to see more of them coming. we want to see this deal getting complete and to see how we get other deals to bring all of the hostages home. the people that are on the list are mostly women and children. my cousin, she was kidnapped with her three children, they are 17, 11 and 9. and on the same day she suffered so much loss, husband was murdered, her eldest daughter was murdered, the house was burned so we really hope to get some good news and we really hope to understand they will be
1:22 pm
among the list in the next days and we're just waiting, hopefully, among the list in the next days and we'rejust waiting, hopefully, and trying to understand if it's going to happen. as we've heard palestinian prisoners have been released from israeli prisons as part of the truce deal. earlier we heard from gerard horton — a lawyer with military court watch injerusalem — which monitors the treatment of children in israeli military detention. these children who are being released make up just a fraction of the about 700 palestinian children who are detained in the occupied west bank by israeli military forces. and their cases share a number of common features which i think are worth highlighting. the first feature i will mention is simply, where do these children live? our evidence shows that the overwhelming majority of those children who are detained, and i'm talking about around 98%, live within several kilometres of an illegal israeli
1:23 pm
settlement in the west bank or a road used by settlers in the west bank. and that is not a coincidence. if you place 500,000 israeli civilians into occupied territory, not including east jerusalem, you will need a heavy military presence in that area, which has an enormous impact on palestinian communities living nearby. it leads to friction, clashes and arrests. the second point i would make itjust to highlight how most of these children are actually arrested. our evidence shows that the majority of children who get detained in the west bank are arrested in military raids on their homes in the middle of the night. a recent un report suggested that, prior to october 7th, the israeli military was conducting 3,000 night—time operations in the west bank every year.
1:24 pm
let's move on to some of today? are main stories. the russian defence ministry says its forces have destroyed several ukrainian rows overnight. the mayor of moscow said the drones were brought down over several regions —— ukrainian drones. in moscow south—west of the capital. he said there were no casualties or serious damage. earlier, ukraine imposed an air alert in several eastern and central regions including the capital kyiv, warning of the launch of russian drones but the alert was later lifted in most areas. friday night saw the biggest drone attack on ukraine since the start of russia's full—scale invasion. two of david bowie's handwritten lyric sheets are predicted to reach £100,000 when they go to auction next week. they contained the late singermy corrections, drafts and notes when composing his songs. rock and roll suicide and suffragette city. the auction has previously sold a page
1:25 pm
of his handwritten lyrics for his hit max dhahmaan for £165,000. that's all from us but there are much more updates on the truce deal between israel and hamas. please do go online and stay with us on bbc news. hello, our chilly spell of late autumn weather is going to continue through the rest of today and for much of the week ahead with temperatures below average. we have seen some early brightness around across northern and eastern areas but through the rest of today it will be clouding over for most of us with rain edging in courtesy of this area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. it is bumping into higher pressure towards the south—east so any rain tending to peter out. the best of the dry and bright weather will be across parts
1:26 pm
of ireland, scotland, blue skies and sunshine here. cold air moving into the northern isles with some showers then we have some rain across northern ireland, wales and the south—west of england, too. much of eastern england as well as scotland stays dry, with some brightness but temperature is not great, only around 6 degrees for most of us. double figures towards the west. this evening and tonight the area of rain continues eastward, so some wet weather for parts of east anglia. also northern england, parts of northern ireland some rain overnight, colderairworking northern ireland some rain overnight, colder air working into the north of that so another cold and frosty night to come across parts of scotland but milder further south where you have cloud and outbreaks of rain. tomorrow morning we start with the rain across parts of england and wales, slowly towards the south—east. to the north of that, a cold northerly wind, blustery conditions across eastern scotland, north—east england with a few showers, touch wintry over the
1:27 pm
highest ground but rain at low levels. further southend west some brighter with a developing late in the day. heading on into tuesday and we will be between weather systems is the area of low pressure clears away towards the east. we have the breeze coming in from a northerly direction. again bringing a few showers across the north—east of scotland, the east coast of england and perhaps a few around the irish sea coasts will stop for the bulk of the uk it looks like a predominantly dry day on tuesday with some sunshine although not feeling warm. top temperatures between 4—9 on tuesday. into the middle of the week we have still generally got the cold air mass with us but we will see areas of low pressure that will introduce something milder for a time and wetter, but generally the outlook through the rest of the week into next weekend is for temperatures to remain below average, between about 4—6 for most of us. some wet weather mostly falling as rain for most of us but there could be a bit of sleet and snow over the highest ground. largely in the north of the uk.
