twin peaks, has died at the age of 78. and donald trump's team shared his new official portrait ahead of the inauguration on monday and it mightjust look familiar. hello and welcome, i'm lukwesa burak. israel and hamas have officially signed a ceasefire and hostage release deal, after overcoming last—minute disputes. the israeli prime minister's office said the security cabinet would meet on friday to ratify the agreement. the far—right security minister itamar ben—gvir has said he will resign if it is approved, calling it a reward for hamas. the civil defence agency in gaza says more than 80 palestinians have been killed by israeli strikes

since the deal was first announced on wednesday. doctor mustafa barghouti is a palestinian politician in the west bank and leader of the palestinian national initiative. i spoke to him a little earlier. well, it's a relief that finally we have an agreement. it's a big relief for especially the population of gaza. we are talking about 2.2 million people who are taking hostage practically by israel. they have suffered from starvation, they have suffered from starvation, they have suffered from starvation, they have suffered huge losses, we are talking about may be at least 70,000 people killed according to the lancet. and more than 109,000 people injured. it's almost 10% of the population of gaza, that's a huge number. if it happened in the united states, you would be talking about 32 million people killed in 15

months. so the people of gaza are feeling relief, hoping that there will be a ceasefire that will last, and of course there will be relief of israeli captives and palestinian prisoners, which is also very useful. but i also feel very sad because all of this could have happened exactly six months ago. on the 3rd ofjuly this agreement or is there, hamas had accepted it, the palestinian side had accepted it. but it was israel and netanyahu in particular who blocked the agreement and did not allow to take place. and in the process we lost 10,000 more people. and lots of destruction and netanyahu caused the death of mehdi israeli prisoners because of his bombardment. if it is not for the big pressure that was exercised by

president trump, netanyahu would not have signed this deal at this time. do you have confidence, this is a point you raised early on in your response, you questioned yourself whether it can at last, can it? well, it depends mainly on the israeli side, or netanyahu in particular and his government. this man has been so selfish all the time. he prepared his own position and his own coalition to the interests not only of the palestinian people but also the interests of israeli people and israeli prisoners. so it depends on him. we have a deal that will last four to 42 days, then in the process during this time there should be negotiations about the next stages and about complete and final ceasefire. that's where the risk is, because if israel is not cooperative, and if it doesn't proceed with total withdrawal of

israeli army from gaza strip which is a very little, small area, and if the ceasefire does not become a complete stop of the war, we face lots of risks and lots of possibilities that more atrocities will happen. palestinians have been subjected to three war crimes here, the war crime of genocide, collective punishment and ethnic cleansing. collective punishment and ethnic cleansina. ., ~ ., , , cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have our cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have your view _ cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have your view on, _ cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have your view on, as _ cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have your view on, as you - cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have your view on, as you said, - cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i l have your view on, as you said, this depends on israel and specifically as you said on mr netanyahu. but obviously there are several parties involved here. what is dependent on hamas? yes, it's the palestinian people who have suffered, but what of hamas in order to make it successful?— of hamas in order to make it successful? ~ ., w ., successful? well, in our interaction with all political— successful? well, in our interaction with all political parties _ successful? well, in our interaction with all political parties including i with all political parties including hamas they are absolutely ready to respect the ceasefire, they don't want this war to continue. 0ne

want this war to continue. one important issue here is the internal palestinian issue. and here what we need is really cooperation of all palestinian parties to form some sort of coalition, national consensus government, to guarantee two things. first of all that palestinians will be running the life of people in gaza by themselves, not by any external force, and second, and we will maintain the authority of the west bank and gaza against israeli efforts which is trying to separate west bank from gaza as a way of resisting the establishment of a palestinian state and what they call the two state solution. that is the risk. internally palestinians need to be unified now and we hope that a coalition government will open the road for something we are missing since 20 years, which is a free democratic elections so the palestinians have the right to

choose their leaders freely and democratically, and make choices that the world has to respect as it does to any other democratic process in the world. that was doctor mustafa barghouti speaking to me earlier. jon donnison is injerusalem and hejoins me now. good morning, jon. is in jerusalem and he “oins me now. good morning, 10m— is in jerusalem and he “oins me now. good morning, jon. morning. we are exectin: good morning, jon. morning. we are expecting a — good morning, jon. morning. we are expecting a meeting _ good morning, jon. morning. we are expecting a meeting later _ good morning, jon. morning. we are expecting a meeting later today, - expecting a meeting later today, just remind me what we are expecting to hear following that meeting in israel. basically there are going to be two meetings, we think, starting this morning. 0ne meetings, we think, starting this morning. one will be the israeli security cabinet, and then the full israeli government. both of those bodies need to vote to approve this deal, which we are expecting them to do so, given that prime minister netanyahu's office now say that the negotiation team say the deal has been finalised. you will be aware that there are two hardline right—wing ministers within the government who have said they are

going to resign in protest at this deal, they want the war to continue, they see this as doing a deal with they see this as doing a deal with the devil and by the devil they beat hamas. howeverthey the devil and by the devil they beat hamas. however they kind of fudged things a little bit because what they have said is they will resign for the government but they will not vote with the opposition to bring the coalition government down, for the coalition government down, for the next six weeks, which is the first phase of this deal. if the war does not resume after six weeks, they say they would abandon the coalition and bring the government down. so it buys prime minister netanyahu a bit more time and it does seem like this ceasefire deal is going to get under way as planned on sunday where we expect the first three israeli hostages to be freed in exchange for palestinian prisoners. i in exchange for palestinian prisoners-_ in exchange for palestinian risoners. , ., ., , ., prisoners. i 'ust want to show the viewer is prisoners. i just want to show the viewer is the _ prisoners. i just want to show the viewer is the view _ prisoners. i just want to show the viewer is the view from _ prisoners. i just want to show the viewer is the view from khan - prisoners. i just want to show the i viewer is the view from khan younis this morning, it hasjust gone

months forfor not prime minister netanyahu recent months for for not prioritising the hostages are getting a deal down. that now seems to be happening so they are happy but of course the hostages are not home yet and a lot could go wrong in the coming weeks. 0k, jon donnison injuries, thank you. let 5 get some of the day's other news now. firefighters battling two fires that have wreaked destruction across los angeles for nine days now have had some respite from the weather. the near hurricane—strength winds that initially fanned the flames and hampered rescue efforts have weakened into much lighter gusts. the former governor of the bank of england, mark carney, is running to replace justin trudeau, as leader of canada's governing liberal party. mr carney launched his bid from an ice rink in his hometown of alberta. mr trudeau announced his intention to resign as prime minister earlier this month. the incoming white house national security adviser says donald trump will try to save tiktok before a ban

comes into place. the supreme court is due to rule on a law that gave the apps owner until sunday to sell its us operations or face a ban. apple has suspended a new artificial intelligence feature that drew complaints, including from the bbc and the new york times, for making repeated mistakes in its news summaries. apple had previously promised only a software update that would clarify the role of ai in summary creation. last year saw the fastest annual rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere. that's according to data from a research station in hawaii. the study from the uk's met office has warned that co2 at current levels are incompatible with the target of keeping global temperatures below one point five degrees.

concentrations of c02 are now 50% higher than before humans started burning large amount of fossilfuels. last year was the hottest on record with global temperatures 1.6 degrees above pre—industrial levels. robjackson is professor of earth system science at stanford university and chair of the global carbon project. iasked him, how worried should we be? we should be very worried. this is a much larger increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide than we're used to. we're breaching safe temperature levels, well past them. and i think the most troubling thing about the increase this year is that it's not caused primarily by a surge in fossil fuel emissions. we estimate fossil fuel emissions are up about 1% last year in 2024. but normally the earth's lands take up about one third of fossil carbon pollution, through

tree growth and other things. and the earth is starting to fight back. the el nino last year meant thousands of additional fires in the amazon, record droughts in the amazon and elsewhere. plants are not growing as fast, and we're seeing forest death in places. so the earth is starting to rebel, if you will. and that's deeply troubling. you say the earth is fighting back. i mean, the earth's just going to get on with things, isn't it? it's us that's going to to suffer. it's going to correct itself. this figure of 1.6 degrees. i think it's accepted now, isn't it, that we're going to be heading above 2.5. that is the most realistic figure of a temperature rise that we will be able to attain. is that the agreed level? well, i hope not. certainly we are heading towards that now. we're not slowing down at 1.5.

a couple decades ago, it would have been inconceivable that we would have so casually and cavalierly blown by the 1.5 c threshold where we are now. but we did, and we may do the same for 2.0 and head above 2.5, which is a deeply troubling world with sea level rise, ice melt, and extreme weather. we do not want to go there, but we just seem to be sort of whistling down the street, ignoring what's happening around us. ok, so in terms of what is happening, why are we seeing this? this fastest rate of carbon dioxide entering the earth's atmosphere? i mean, we've got the cops, we've got the statements, we've got the increase in renewable energy. why are we still burning more fossilfuels, and where is this concentrated? well, we're burning more fossil fuels in almost all regions of the earth. europe is the primary region, really the only region where fossil fuel emissions have actually decreased. so thank you for all

of your efforts. but elsewhere we're burning more. one thing we're doing around the world is producing more and more energy. so we're building wind turbines and solar panels. 1418 00:15:09,608 -
