they are excited, telling us they are excited, also a little apprehensive ahead of donald trump's second term. donald trump says he'll "most likely" give tiktok a 90—day reprieve from a potential ban in the us after he takes office on monday. hello, i'm lauren taylor. israel's prime minister benjamin has said he reserves the right to resume war with hamas "if necessary". in a statement to the israeli people hours before the gaza ceasefire is due to come into effect, he vowed to bring back all the hostages held by hamas. but he said both outgoing us presidentjoe biden and his successor donald trump have given full backing to israel's right to return to combat, should the second stage of the ceasefire prove pointless. mr netanyahu suggested that israel was still awaiting the names, from hamas, of israeli hostages to be freed.

in a statement, he said, "we will not move forward with the agreement until we receive the list of hostages who will be released, as agreed. israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement. the sole responsibility lies with hamas". but in his televised address, mr netanyahu gave no indication that the first phase of the deal would not come into effect, as scheduled, tomorrow morning at 8.30 local time. translation: we promise you that we will keep - to all the objectives of the war and we will bring them all home. up to today, 157 of those hostages have come home, and now in that agreement we are going to bring 33 of those brothers and sisters, most of them are still alive. and this is a result of the heroism of our soldiers in the war and because of our steadfast stand, and it was very difficult

against all the pressures from within and from without. it is also a result of the collaboration and cooperation of the outgoing presidentjoe biden�*s administration and the incoming president trump's administration. on wednesday night they spoke to me and congratulated me, and stressed that in the first phase of that agreement is a temporary ceasefire. and before the next phases, we are keeping very significant assets in our hands in order to bring them all home, in order to keep to all the goals and objectives of the war. both president biden and president trump have fully backed those objectives of the war. if they feel that they do not

think that we are achieving that in the second phase, then, of course, i truly appreciate what they are doing and president trump will ensure that we will have all the weapons and the ammunition and the arms that we need. but if we do not achieve it, then we will achieve it with tremendous force later on. the first principle is that we must maintain the ability to go back and fight if needed. but we are reserving the right to go back to the war with the backing of the united states. so far, we've not had any response from hamas to mr netanyahu's comments. we have had one other development however — egypt, one of the countries which helped to mediate the ceasefire deal, has said that israel will release 1,890 palestinian prisoners in exchange for 33 israeli hostages in the first phase of the ceasefire.

and our correspondent jonah fisher had further analysis from jeerusalem. analysis from ——jerusalem. the overwhelming message from mr netanyahu in his address was that this was going ahead, but it certainly didn't feel like peace in our time, did it? i mean, part of the reason that he, mr netanyahu, is not talking about this being a permanent ceasefire is because by getting to that point of permanent ceasefire, it throws up all sorts of difficult questions, both for him politically and questions about what happens in gaza at the moment, with it as a temporary arrangement, it's easy to, if you like, keep the option of war open and indeed not try and tackle some of the significant issues and problems around discussions about gaza's future. there is, it seems, a very difficult discussion to be had here in israel about who might end up governing gaza in the future. the government here doesn't want hamas,

of course, to be involved. it doesn't also want the palestinian authority, which has authority over parts of the west bank, to to be involved either. but it has not put forward any sort of vision for what the longer—term future of gaza might be. it's telling that today we had some indications from sources that there would in fact be some police officers, hamas police officers being allowed to be involved in the return of displaced people back to their homes as this peace deal, this ceasefire agreement is implemented, because the problem is that you suddenly take out israel, the israelis have bombarded hamas and

gone for all of their networks, but on day one, who is in control, who is going to be managing things? and more than likely it's going to be hamas coming out, or at least hamas officials coming out and trying to resume some of the roles that they've performed before the war took place. so talking about permanence, talking about this being a long—term, a longer—term thing is very problematic for mr netanyahu in relation to gaza discussions. it's also problematic for him when we're thinking about his own political strength, here in israel. he relies on two far right extremist parties to keep his coalition in a majority. and those parties have made it clear that they are not happy that the war is ending. and indeed, they are arguing explicitly that they would like a commitment from mr netanyahu to go back

to war in six weeks' time when this first phase of the ceasefire agreement expires. so some idea there of the political tightrope that's been walked here and why, in mr netanyahu's address, the emphasis was so much on going back to war, the possibility of fighting again rather than anything really about the possibilities of peace. and i suppose illustrating one of the difficulties forthem is, is mr netanyahu talked about the killing of sinwar, the leader of hamas, but he, in fact, had been at one stage a prisoner in an israeli jail and was then released and went on to plan the october 7th attack. so i suppose one of the other things is the discussion about which prisoners are being released as part of this deal and how palatable that is for an israeli public who've suffered so much under this. yeah, it's not palatable for many in the israeli public, but i think they are taking it as a sort of a necessary evil that has to happen in order to get these 33 hostages home. from what we know about the palestinian prisoners who are being released, there's a list of somewhere in the region of 730 that's been released that are going to be released in stages

through the course of this, six week, ceasefire agreement. among them are palestinians who've been put injail for murdering israelis, palestinians who've been involved in bomb attacks in which multiple israelis have been killed, and they will be — well set free is perhaps too strong a word. some of them will be sent to qatar and turkey, who've agreed to take some of these prisoners when they are released, at least for a six week period, to try and ensure they don't come straight back and commit more crimes. but, yes, it's going to be it's going to be difficult for the israeli public. in all, close to 2000 palestinians are going to be released. not all of them are convicted criminals. something in the region of 1,000 of them are people who have been detained since october 7th, 2023, in gaza who have not been convicted of anything, but it looks like they will be set free as well. i mean, there's also

the desperation of the people in gaza, clearly who many of have been innocent, killed in a war which they didn't necessarily want to be involved in. tell us about the humanitarian situation there and what will happen if the ceasefire goes ahead. well, we've heard a lot about how bleak things are, particularly in the northern part of gaza. it has been extremely difficult for aid agencies to get enough aid in, to get enough fuel in, to power generators in hospitals. as part of this agreement, 600 trucks a day are supposed to be allowed to go into gaza. they are already queuing up. we've heard, around the borders of gaza ready to to go back in. so almost immediately, those people, the displaced people in gaza should immediately be able to feel an improvement in their quality of life in terms of the amount of medical aid, food aid and basically assistance that's getting into the gaza strip. let's speak to aaron david miller, a seniorfellow at the carnegie endowment

for international peace. thank you for being with us. what did you make of the language from the statement for the israeli prime minister, reserving the right to go back to the war and stating it as a temporary ceasefire. i to the war and stating it as a temporary ceasefire.- temporary ceasefire. i would not meet — temporary ceasefire. i would not expect anything - temporary ceasefire. i would not expect anything else. . temporary ceasefire. i would not expect anything else. ifl not expect anything else. if hamas violates the agreement, he has assurances from the trump and biden administration is that israel has a free hand. we have heard something of a similar vein from incoming officials in the cut administration, we have not seen much or heard much from the president—elect on this. it gets to a point where donald trump owns this agreement now, chances are if it does not begin tomorrow, it will be gone on monday and he will be the

president. it will either creator under his watch or succeed and if he is at all interested in regional aspirations for getting the saudis and israelis together, we will have to make this work and then some most of it will be fascinating to see is this transition goes forward how much tougher donald trump mic is prepared to be with benjamin netanyahu than the former president, still president, joe biden. president, still president, joe biden. , ., biden. tell us about the balance _ biden. tell us about the balance of— biden. tell us about the balance of power. - biden. tell us about the balance of power. mr. biden. tell us about the - balance of power. mr netanyahu was at pains to say he had reshaped the middle east. is that if your assessment of what has happened in the last few months? i has happened in the last few months? . , ., ., , months? i have been around this reuion for months? i have been around this region for the — months? i have been around this region for the better _ months? i have been around this region for the better part - months? i have been around this region for the better part of- region for the better part of 40 region for the better part of a0 years, working for a happy dozen administrations. reshaping the middle east, transformation, this region is littered with the remains of great powers and smaller ones who believe they could impose their will on smaller ones. i suspect israel has demonstrated

escalation dominance in gaza, lebanon, and even in iran, so there are real opportunities here, i think, there are real opportunities here, ithink, to there are real opportunities here, i think, to turn the sort of escalation dominance into more enduring durable security political arrangements, but it will be a very tough... gaza is just an example. hamas is going to survive. as an insurgency, to survive. as an insurgency, to be sure. it may not be able to be sure. it may not be able to govern gaza, but it will survive as a legitimate political actor, able to intimidation and co—optation to basically outflank and outmanoeuvre whatever palestinian governing authority, and by the way, none is now contemplated other than the week palestinian authority that controls no more than a0% of the west bank. and is led by an ageing 89—year—old leader with authoritarian tendencies. so reshaping the middle east, i'll believe it when i see it. the question is, can we turn this agreement into something

more? something that would actually create a pathway for israelis and palestinians to begin to deal with the broader issues of the decades—old conflict that has caused both people is such a great deal. talking about the future of gaza, we need to presuppose these initial stages work, but if they do, what are the challenges of rebuilding gaza when the un says something like 70% of all structures in the strip had been destroyed? first of all, strip had been destroyed? first of all. you _ strip had been destroyed? first of all, you need _ strip had been destroyed? first of all, you need to _ strip had been destroyed? first of all, you need to end - strip had been destroyed? f "st of all, you need to end the war. you cannot operate and begin to deliver... the last 15 months have demonstrated that with writing and terrifying clarity, extraordinary humanitarian catastrophe for the palestinian civilians of gaza. you cannot deliver humanitarian assistance let alone begin the process of reconstruction unless you get an end to the conflict. you cannot do this in a free fire

zone. so that poses a huge question of who or what is going to take the place of the israelis should they be willing and are able to withdraw from gaza. an internationalforce, mandated by the un security council, or outside that structure? i doubt it. arab brits on the ground, emirati is, moroccans, egyptians? may be. —— arab boats on the ground. maybe work as a first is not gaza only and show that the israelis are serious about moving forward in a way that would create a permanent status arrangement, probably based on two states. then you have the problem of hamas and what kind of legitimate palestinian authority has the capacity to govern gaza? the security issue, the little glacial they humanitarian issue, this is an enormous challenge and requires

one thing this region has simply not demonstrated. thank ou so simply not demonstrated. thank you so much _ simply not demonstrated. thank you so much for— simply not demonstrated. thank you so much for your _ simply not demonstrated. thank you so much for your thoughts. l you so much for your thoughts. we appreciate your time. time for a look at the sport now with szczepan. —— with chetan. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with a day of drama in the english premier league — in the past hour arsenal have dropped points in the title race after a 2—2 draw at home to aston villa. mikel arteta's side were 2—0 up arsenal, with goals from gabriel martinelli and kai havertz, before villa then staged a stunning comeback. youri tielemans got them back in the game before 0llie watkins here found the equaliser. arsenal thought they'd won the game late on, only for the goal to be disallowed for handball. that means liverpool are six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand after a 2—0 win at brentford. the league leaders were heading for another draw until not one, but two stoppage goals from darwin nunez saw them beat brentford. arne slot — yet again — seeing one of his substitutes

save the day. nunez has struggled for goals this season, liverpool had missed chance after chance as brentford defended doggedly, but the breakthrough finally came from the uruguayan forward in the 91st minute, and then the 93rd. newcastle's six—game winning run in the premier league came to a crashing end earlier afterjustin kluivert scored a hatrick in a a—i win for bournmouth at st james' park. the dutchman scored his third in stoppage time as the visitors stretched their unbeaten league run to ten matches. they're now up to sixth — just a point behind fourth—placed newcastle. elsewhere, two goals from jean—philippe mateta gave crystal palace a 2—0 win at west ham — as you'll see, all the away sides winning so far on saturday. except the 2—0 draw at arsenal —— 2—2 draw. leon goretzka scored twice as bayern munich held on against wolfsburg to go

seven points clear at the top of the bundesliga table. la liga leaders atletico madrid's club—record is—game winning run has come to an end with a surprise defeat at neighbours leganes. arsenal are trying to close the gap at the top of the table. 1-1 at gap at the top of the table. 1—1 at the moment. real madrid can go top if they win against las palmas on sunday. in serie a leaders napoli are currently playing 3rd placed atalanta — 2—2 the score with about 15 minutes leftif it stays that way napoli �*s lead over inter will be cut to a points. there's been a minute's applause at football matches across scotland in tribute to the former ballon d'or winner denis law, who has died at the age of 8a. manchester united have called him the "ultimate goal—scorer" with more people paying their respects at old trafford on saturday. united play brighton on sunday. the man dubbed the king and the lawman spent 11 years with the club.

of the tournament. he'll play world champion kyren wilson orjudd trump in sunday's final. trump is currently 3—2 up in their semi. then follow that over on the bbc sport website. that is all for me and the team for now. thank you. in less than a8 hours donald trump will take the oath of office and become president of the united states once more. on sunday, he will be holding a victory rally in washington ahead of monday's inauguration. but ahead of that, opponents of mr trump have been taking part in what they called the people's march. critics of the incoming president carried anti—trump banners as they moved through the nation's capital. helena humphrey is in arizona, one of the swing states that flipped to donald trump in last november's presidential election. they are quite keen on the idea of a truck might presidency their? ., , of a truck might presidency their? . , , , ., their? that definitely seems to be the prevailing _

mass deportations which donald trump says he will carry out from day one. other people saying that for them can economy really was a big issue. another range of issues coming up, with some voters i was speaking to. take a listen. he is talking bad about the servicemen, people in the military, _ servicemen, people in the military, and i was in vietnam and _ military, and i was in vietnam and i— military, and i was in vietnam and i don't _ military, and i was in vietnam and i don't like anyone talking bad about military.— bad about military. what matters _ bad about military. what matters to _ bad about military. what matters to you? - bad about military. what| matters to you? probably medical freedom - matters to you? probably medical freedom is - matters to you? probably medical freedom is one i matters to you? probably | medical freedom is one of matters to you? probably - medical freedom is one of those things. — medical freedom is one of those things. no— medical freedom is one of those things, no mandatory— things, no mandatory vaccinations- things, no mandatory vaccinations and - things, no mandatory vaccinations and stuff things, no mandatory- vaccinations and stuff like that _ vaccinations and stuff like that i_ vaccinations and stuff like that. i know— vaccinations and stuff like that. i know he _ vaccinations and stuff like that. i know he was - vaccinations and stuff like that. i know he was into i vaccinations and stuff like - that. i know he was into that, so that's— that. i know he was into that, so that's good _ that. i know he was into that, so that's good. so _ that. i know he was into that, so that's good.— that. i know he was into that, so that's good. so someone like rfk jr as health _ so that's good. so someone like rfk jr as health secretary, - rfkjr as health secretary, what you think about that? absolutely wonderful. yeah, he is reat — absolutely wonderful. yeah, he is reat the _ absolutely wonderful. yeah, he is real. y , ., absolutely wonderful. yeah, he is real. g , ., , ., is real. my brother is a surgeon. _ is real. my brother is a surgeon, he _ is real. my brother is a surgeon, he has - is real. my brother is a i surgeon, he has deployed is real. my brother is a - surgeon, he has deployed right now, _ surgeon, he has deployed right now. and — surgeon, he has deployed right now, and obviously that is something that is in the back of my— something that is in the back of my head —— is a sergeant. we
