of breaching the ceasefire deal under which israeli civilians were to be freed first in exchange for the release of palestinian prisoners. israel has now said it will allow residents to return to the northern gaza strip on monday after the row over ms yehud was resolved. in other developments — egypt has rejected any attempt to relocate palestinians from gaza after us president donald trump said he�*d like to see 1.5 million of gaza�*s residents taken in by other arab nations. he told reporters that the strip was "literally a demolition site" and suggested it be �*cleaned out�*. our correspondent lucy williamson sent this report from jerusalem: dreams of going home aren�*t only for hostages or prisoners, but also for gazans displaced by the war. the road to an israeli checkpoint on gaza�*s coast, now a waiting room for tens of thousands impatient to return to their homes in the north.

faith in the promises of gaza�*s cease fire deal undimmed by new delays and disruptions. samir ali hussein said he�*d moved six times since the war began. translation: we want to go home. god willing, we will. we spend the night here. it was cold. it rained and soaked our clothes and the ground. israel delayed the withdrawal of its troops here yesterday, and the reopening of this road north, after hamas postponed the release of a civilian woman hostage, arbel yahud. both sides have accused the other of violating the truce. in gaza�*s battered northern neighbourhoods, those who survived the war are now waiting for their relatives to return. "i can�*t describe my feelings", said um sharif. "i�*m going to see my children. "i�*ve been waiting for this moment since day one "of the war."

israel doesn�*t allow journalists access to report independently from gaza, but the un estimates that 60% of its buildings have been damaged or destroyed. donald trump has described it as a demolition site and talked of clearing gaza out, relocating its residents to egypt and jordan. the idea has delighted israel�*s far right politicians, who want israelis to resettle there, and outraged gazans themselves. translation: with all due respect, the us president l is an idiot. we are staying put here in gaza. translation: we don't want to emigrate. - why should we do that? if we wanted to emigrate, we could have done that a long time ago. lives, already made unpredictable by war, are facing an unpredictable peace. but after 15 months of conflict, these crowds waiting to go home are proof that families move, buildings

collapse, but roots are not easily destroyed. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. jeremy konyndyk is the president of refugees international. he previously led the obama administration�*s response to international disasters. he gave me his reaction to president trump�*s comments about gaza. many things wrong with president trump �*s comments not least he seemed to endorse ethnic cleansing, at its core palestinians do not want to go elsewhere in the countries around do not want to take them, it is not really any kind of viable option.— of viable option. palestinian urou -s of viable option. palestinian grouns and _ of viable option. palestinian groups and arab _ of viable option. palestinian groups and arab league - of viable option. palestinian - groups and arab league accusing president trump of advocating ethnic cleansing for these proposals to remove people from gaza to other countries, has president trump not read the room here? it�*s president trump not read the

military action and expulsions over the past year, the fact people can begin going home, is really significant, however it is heavily destroyed. they will require an immense amount of humanitarian relief support in order to do that successfully, thatis order to do that successfully, that is also imperilled by another announcement that came out of the trump administration on friday, which is a global total freeze on friday, which is a global totalfreeze on all on friday, which is a global total freeze on all us foreign assistant activities.— assistant activities. where does that _ assistant activities. where does that leave _ assistant activities. where does that leave the - assistant activities. where | does that leave the people assistant activities. where i does that leave the people in gaza now, it seems like the ceasefires holding somewhat, the exchange of prisoners for hostages, also going along. what happens beyond that? the aid freeze is _ what happens beyond that? the aid freeze is a _ what happens beyond that? tuaz aid freeze is a tremendous what happens beyond that? tta: aid freeze is a tremendous rest because it will create human damage in gaza on an immense scale, the us is the largest owner of humanitarian aid, if that all shuts down, as is now starting to happen during those 90 day age it could not come at a worse time for palestinians and the ceasefire, and recall

retaliatory measures are: colombia�*s foreign ministry says they are now making a presidential plane available for the return of their citizens. mexico has also refused to let us deportation flights land on its territory. but on friday, two us military flights each carrying around 80 migrants were allowed to land in guatemala. donald trump has made removing unlawful migrants from the us a cornerstone of his immigration policy. meanwhile, raids by immigration, customs and enforcement are under way in multiple sanctuary cities across the us — from los angeles to chicago. the white house says 538 undocumented immigrants have been arrested so far. earlier i spoke to luis fajardo, our latin america expert from bbc monitoring and cynthia arnson — distinguished fellow

and former director of the latin american program at the wilson centre. i began by asking luis about the reaction in colombia. there has been an explosion in colombian media of people showing extreme concern and surprise the us would threaten what likely —— colombian people call potentially devastating tariffs on colombian trade. the us is the main trading partner of the us, and it has also been a very close ally for decades. this has changed in the last couple of years under the left—wing government of the president petro. many people are saying this is on their because of the us imposing or threatening to impose this very strong sanctions, there is also a lot of criticism against the government of mr petro, they

say his reaction in social media itself, was hotheaded, should have been through diplomatic channels now people are very concerned about the potential economic impact this could have on the country. talk us through _ could have on the country. talk us through how _ could have on the country. talk us through how related columbia and the us are, how impactful this could be for colombia? extremely, they are related in a word. the us is colombia �*s main trading partner its main investment partner, colombia sells nearly $15 billion every year of merchandise to the united states. things like oil, coffee, flowers, and many of these sectors feel that a tariff would be very very serious for their activity. i was talking recently a few hours ago to a colombian business experts saying if these tariffs went through they would have to redesign their

entire business model. also some concern consumers would be affected in the us, colombia exports a substantial amount of flowers consumed in the us and with valentine�*s day coming up it could not come at a worse time to impose these new restrictions on trade if it goes ahead. the impact is expected to be very serious besides the political fallout but in economic terms a lot of industries could feel very strong impact of the us is imposing these 25% tariffs on colombia. ., ., imposing these 25% tariffs on colombia-— colombia. eight out of every ten colombian _ colombia. eight out of every ten colombian roses - colombia. eight out of every ten colombian roses are - ten colombian roses are exported to the us, significant. do you see what�*s happening now is opportunity to countries like china to step into the void or make the most of this tension between the us and colombia?— of this tension between the us and colombia? certainly, the us government— and colombia? certainly, the us government several— and colombia? certainly, the us government several us - government several us governments have been complaining china was increasing its profile in latin america and that could come at a cost for us influence in the

region. 0ne a cost for us influence in the region. one of the first things that happened to day and the median colombia the chinese ambassador tweeting saying, china had always been a friend of colombia, and certainly the colombian president who has continued to react on social media in a very aggressive ways to the situation with the us has suggested colombia would be looking for other partners. however this would be very difficult to implement, colombia has for decades been again a close political ally of the guests but certainly some people are saying one of the consequences of this if it goes through, colombia starting to move in another direction, it may be away from its traditional alignment with the us economic and political in access. ., , ., ~ , ., us economic and political in access. ., , ., ~ ., access. louise, thank you for that. cynthia _ access. louise, thank you for that. cynthia | _ access. louise, thank you for that. cynthia i want - access. louise, thank you for that. cynthia i want to - access. louise, thank you for that. cynthia i want to get. that. cynthia i want to get your thoughts on everything he has been talking about and the tensions you are seeing between colombia and the united states and especially the two

presidents?— and especially the two residents? ~ ., , ., , presidents? what is really surprising _ presidents? what is really surprising to _ presidents? what is really surprising to me - presidents? what is really surprising to me is - presidents? what is really surprising to me is how. presidents? what is really - surprising to me is how quickly the whole situation has spun out of control and a couple of hours. there was a strong statement by secretary of state marco rubio, that the colombian government had given permission for this deportation flight to land, and that was revoked in midair. the issue really i think, is, the tone that both presidents have used. i think president petro has dramatically overreacted to what should be a routine situation. there were well over 100 deportation flights during the biden administration, without incident. it is routine for deportees to be handcuffed stop on these deportation flights, this is also not anything that is especially new. so the escalation about

the imposition of, the decision by president petro to revoke the permission and the immediate imposition of these very punishing sanctions by president trump, 25%, two as your correspondent was saying, to a country that has the united states as its largest trading partner, the united states also has colombia is one of the few countries, where the us actually has a trade surplus. there has been very healthy and increases in bilateral trade, since the conclusion of a free trade agreement, over15, close to conclusion of a free trade agreement, over 15, close to 20 years ago. so this is going to hurt colombian workers, it will hurt colombian workers, it will hurt colombian workers, it will hurt colombian private sector, it will hurt people that sanctions inevitably hurt, but are not necessarily the ones that have run afoul of the us government. these are issues

that should be dealt with through diplomacy and it will be increasingly difficult now, with the visas being revoked, and anyway it�*s, it�*s a sad, it�*s a sad day for the united states and for colombia, given this long, historic relationship that has lasted for a quarter—century. in the last few minutes, the white house has released a statement saying the the government of colombia has agreed to all of president trump�*s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from colombia returned from the united states, including on us military aircraft, without limitation or delay. the tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve based on this agreement and not signed unless colombia fails to honour the agreement. the sanctions issued by the state department and stances inspections by border protection will remain

in effect until the first planeload of colombian deportees is successfully returned. south korea�*s transport ministry has released a preliminary report on last month�*sjeju air plane crash. all 179 passengers on board died, making it the deadliest air disaster in the country. one area under investigation is what role a bird strike played in the crash as it arrived from bangkok. a transcript of the final minutes details how the pilots spotted a flock of birds underneath the plane seconds before they declared an emergency. prosecutors in south korea have formally charged the suspended president, yoon suk yeol, with insurrection, over his brief implementation of martial law in december last year. on saturday — a court in seoul rejected a request to extend mr yoon�*s detention, forcing prosecutors to indict him orfree him, ahead of the end of his custody period on monday. if convicted, mr yoon could face years in prison. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.
