mixed feelings. i at tel aviv�*s hostages square, the reality of the men's condition hit home, as it did for eli's brother in law, watching from south wales. and the light gone from his eyes, the light that was always there with eli. there's a renewed sense of urgency here to secure as possible. and that means an extension of the ceasefire, something that is by no means guaranteed. released today under the ceasefire agreement. 70 had been convicted of serious crimes and were

serving long sentences, but the majority were gazans the palestinian red crescent said seven of those released were admitted to hospital in the occupied west bank after accusations they'd been brutally treated in israeli jails. this released prisoner. about the outside." for eli sharabi, whose wife and two daughters were wyre davies, bbc news, tel aviv.

time in our lives. i had been away from home for 21 years. some voices of prisoners today. on the hostage releases. the three men were taken to hospital when released and we saw the scenes

as their families rejoiced, we've seen that and have had a statement from the hospital looking after them in the last hour or so, saying that they about the state of some of the prisoners released on the other side? as you say, the palestinian red crescent say seven needed to be taken to hospital. we heard a rather competent interview, by a prominent have been badly treated and wanted more attention to be paid to their condition too. of the people released today. he gave his assessement of these latest hostage and palestinian prisoner releases.

let's focus on at the positives right now. think of the families and loved ones of the israeli the ceasefire still holds. 2 million palestinians can breathe a bit for now, they are not being killed and maimed. the challenge facing the international community is that for the second phase of the ceasefire, my fear is that i don't think the second phase of the ceasefire will see the light of day, because of a variety of questions from president trump's statement about forcing the overarching aim to defeat hamas

and expel hamas from gaza. really was trying to do was a show of strength, and politically and it is still standing despite the fact that it has been weakened. the palestinian people in gaza and hamas are we have to wait and see what happens in are there moves to try and change some of the grounds for stage two to go ahead, because part of that included israeli forces making a complete withdrawal? benjamin netanyahu will have pressure on the right of the political parties there

for that not to happen and yet, for everyone to be released. absolutely correct. you put your finger on the pulse of what, i hostages on stage, forcing them to thank hamas, was part in of the hostages israeli public to put the reality is there is a great deal of pressure on benjamin

gift to donald trump and that's why i and many specialists benjamin netanyahu. minister and suspended from the party after the mail fellow mps and councillors. the greater manchester mp said on x he deeply for any offence caused. our political correspondent leila nathoo told me more. he's currently a well, he has been, up until now,

and the mail on sunday. in tomorrow's newspaper that's been published online this evening, here has found it says, the paper says it's had access to thousands minister, angela rayner. so the paper had approached the labour party and downing street

that they acted as soon as they heard about this, and sacked andrew green as a health minister pending an investigation. who fails to meet these standards as he has in this case. these comments made in this whatsapp group, and it says swift action will be taken if individuals so i think the party, downing street, are very this action as you say. to have been suspended from the party. you know, keir starmer has had resignations he's lost a transport secretary. down from herjob.

minister this evening. yeah. just to to give people a bit more detail offence i've caused. it was a huge honour to be appointed to minister by keir starmer." but he goes on — "i entirely understand the decisions while very sad to be suspended, will support them in any way i can." for people who don't know who andrew gwynne is, to be honest, this is a junior ministerialjob. just tell us a little bit about him and you know, exactly. it says in that group doesn't name that mp, was a private space. it says it was set up in 2019,

so going back a long way. officials in the north—west, where andrew gwynne was an mp, longstanding mp, served in jeremy corbyn�*s shadow cabinet, came into government here as a junior minister. but, you know, certainly anyone occupying a ministerialjob but no longer. and i think keir starmer very keen to say that here, hundreds of people in the northern city school earlier this week. gerry jackson reports. across his home city... harvey willgoose. .. five days after his death, this was the response

it's a big moment for the bjp unit in the capital delhi. because this was a battle of prestige between the incumbent ruling party in delhi that has been ruling continuously since 2015. celebrating by beating drums and distributing sweets. now what this means for the governing bjp, it shows that prime minister narendra modi's popularity is still intact. and his message, kind of reflects with the people and it resonates with the people. majority in parliament.

and now the bjp has come back to power. party, which started as a huge anti—corruption with a population of 30 million, something and it was always a bugbearfor the bjp. why we were not able to win here, even though the powers of the state are very limited, but they were able to win in other seats, whereas other than previously thought, according to a new study. researchers looked at how human babies discover words — and applied the technique to the song of humpback whales, revealing a previously undetected language—like

structure. what this work shows for the for the first i'll never forget the moment we basically took eight years of whalesong data and poured it into this mathematical model and what came out the other side was extraordinary. what we saw was this fingerprint that we see this kind of technique to have like a google but actually that's not possible. and the reason is that we don't actually think whales are using their song like we use language. so in some ways,

whale song is actually to convey messages like what's for dinner. and it turns out there are other species that transmit communication culturally. so what's next for us is to apply this human infant inspired technique to birdsong. and our prediction is we should see the same thing there, too. great story there for you. this is bbc news, see you soon. hello. of the uk, with rain and drizzle around. if you went high enough into the hills, yes, we have seen some wintriness over the last 2a hours. this part of county durham, for example, is over 200m above sea level and that kind of height, yes, there have been rain and drizzle falling
