south korea's impeached president, yoon suk yeol, is expected to attend court. britain's emma raducanu is out of the australian open — beaten in straight sets by the second seed. hello and welcome, i'm catherine byaruhanga. after hours of discussion that continued late into the night, the israeli cabinet has given final approval to the ceasefire and hostage deal with hamas. it's the first phase of a deal which, if implemented in full, will end the 15—month war in gaza. their meeting lasted more than six hours, with some ministers who threatened to resign arguing the agreement "rewards hamas". the first hostages are due to be released as early as sunday.

in return, israel says it will release 737 palestinian prisoners. they include some detainees as young as 16. hamas will return 33 israeli hostages over six weeks. these pictures are from egypt where trucks are waiting to bring aid into gaza. under the deal israel will allow 600 trucks into gaza every day — that's 12 times more than at the moment. let's speak to said shehata from bbc arabic — he's in cairo. just talk us through the first phase of this agreement. the first phase — phase of this agreement. tue: first phase consists phase of this agreement. tte: first phase consists of 42 days, six weeks. the first day will be releasing three hostages in return for some palestinian detainees or prisoners. in addition to that

600 aid trucks go into gaza every day during the ceasefire deal. in addition to that, the israeli forces will withdraw from the densely populated area in gaza. in addition to that will be, they will start going back, the displaced people from the south to the north of gaza, and in addition to that there is prefabricated hospitals by the who ready to go inside gaza because the healthcare there is almost destroyed, there is only 16 hospitals working partially in gaza and there is that backlog. so all of that are promising signs, and the rest of the hostages, about 33 hostages in the first phase will be released during six weeks. on the 16th day of the deal will be discussing the

second and third stages, including an israeli withdrawal from gaza and the third one will beat the reconstruction which will take years. but in the 16 days when they discuss that, will be a sticking point, but mainly the first phase, every one which they hope to succeed, because it is a long way for the hostages and the israeli families and the people in gaza and the international sub —— community, everyone in the world for over 15 months trying to reach this deal. so reaching this deal, approved by the israeli government with the opposition of two far right ministers, is still a success. and everyone looking at that to succeed and to build on it for the second and third stage because not all the hostages will be released in the first stage, only 33, and they will still be 94, but 34 of them are presumed dead so 60 are alive.

so still a lot in the second and third stage. building momentum in the first stage very important to hope for the second and third. we very important to hope for the second and third.— very important to hope for the second and third. we don't have much time _ second and third. we don't have much time for _ second and third. we don't have much time for our _ second and third. we don't have much time for our conversation | much time for our conversation but in terms of the mechanism to monitor the implementation of the deal, we know how any violations will be handled? there is a joint operation room which will be presented by qatar, egypt, palestinians and the united states and israel. they will monitor the implementation making sure that compliance of all parties because there is fear and threats if there is any violations of the war will resume again. so they are trying hard in order, they will have a meeting on friday in egypt, in order to make this deal successful and make sure there is no violation because if there is any violation there still can be dead and no—one wants to see that. so the hope

is that this room on this mechanism will work, the two concerned parties, israel and hamas will comply with it in order to move to the second stages. order to move to the second staues. ., ., stages. you mentioned the second and _ stages. you mentioned the second and third _ stages. you mentioned the second and third stages, i stages. you mentioned the l second and third stages, how hopeful are people about the second stage of this agreement that would see an end to the war? , ., , , , war? the problem is there is some fears _ war? the problem is there is some fears because - war? the problem is there is some fears because there i war? the problem is there is some fears because there is| war? the problem is there is i some fears because there is for example, israeli finance minister said, his example, israeli finance ministersaid, his party example, israeli finance minister said, his party will quit from the israeli government if the war will not resume after the first phase is one of the threats. the minister of culture in israel also said it is very hard decision to agree to the deal, but we need our children to go back. we hope in the future that the war will resume, they said. the israeli national security minister also was against it and he said looking at the names of long service,

second service, what he called terrorists palestinians to be released. so there is fear about the opposition to mr netanyahu might affect the movement to second and third stage because any violation, so there is complexity about that. the pressure in israel for them not to move, but there is pressure from the united states, mrtrump, pressure from the united states, mr trump, for the deal to be successful and carry on. but the fears among the hostages families, they say they need to see the second and third stage to be successful because to return either the bodies of the dead ones or the alive people come back in the second and third stages. so there is hope there is fear and concern because all of these statements by the opposing members of the israeli government to that, so there is fears but there is hope. so hopefully it will work out. find hopefully it will work out. and of course. _ hopefully it will work out. and of course, everyone _ hopefully it will work out. and of course, everyone will be focusing on the next few hours and the first few hours of this

agreement and the release of some of the israeli hostages, and then the release of palestinian prisoners. do we have any details about who those first individuals might be? , ., , ., be? the first hostages from israel will _ be? the first hostages from israel will be _ be? the first hostages from israel will be women, - be? the first hostages from israel will be women, will i be? the first hostages from | israel will be women, will be female soldiers because palestinians agreed to that but after that there is more palestinian prisoners to be released. there was a deal to have these israeli female soldiers, there is women, elderly, children, wounded and sick people. this is in the category of the israelis. for the palestinians, the minister ofjustice announced 95 people to be released in the first part of the deal, the first day, each hostage is returned for 30 palestinian prisoners, it will be people, children and women who were arrested after 7

october. so that is the first few days. but there is talks about some names and the israeli government again, especially some well—known names, so there is still debate about learning from yahya about learning from ya hya sinwar when about learning from yahya sinwar when he was released and became the leader of hamas, so the israelis don't want to repeat what happened before. so there is discussion about that, but at least for the first part, will be as i said, female soldiers, women, elderly people, and from the palestinians, children and women who were arrested after 7 october. said shehata from bbc arabic, thank you. let's bring you some breaking news from ukraine.

office. president—elect donald trump will take office the next day, and he has a couple of options at his disposal. it is not clear if any of them will work but he will certainly try, he could issue an executive order to try to override this ban somehow, generally those don't carry the same force as legislation from congress, so that could hit a dead end. another option is that he could effectively tell his attorney general which runs the us department ofjustice not to enforce this ban. there are some other options as 1530 00:
