seven have been taken to hospital in khan younis. junior health minister andrew gwynne has apologised hello i geeta in gaza in exchange for 183 palestinian prisoners, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, as the distressing images of the latest three men over to the red cross.

today in ramallah were in need of medical care and seven were taken straight to hospital. the icrc now says it's increasingly concerned are dignified and private. 16 hostages and 566 prisoners have been freed for the families of the three hostages held for 490 days in gaza, this date was the one they'd been waiting for. as the minibus carrying eli sharabi, ohad ben watching from their tel aviv home, eli sharabi's family couldn't contain their excitement.

shadows of their former selves, celebration turned to shock. translation: it's mixed feelings. i i'm happy to see him standing on two feet, but he looks sad, he looks thin, he looks bad. at tel aviv�*s hostages square, the reality of the men's watching from south wales. he's gaunt, the darkness under his eyes, the pale skin, and the light gone from his eyes, the light that was always there with eli. after seeing the conditions of the hostages released today, there's a renewed sense of urgency here to secure the release of all the captives from gaza as quickly as possible. and that means an extension of the ceasefire, something that is by no means guaranteed.

more than 180 palestinians were simultaneously released today under the ceasefire agreement. 70 had been convicted of serious crimes and were detained during the war and held without charge. 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. "they humiliated us for a year and a half," says this released prisoner. about the outside." on both sides reintegrating will be hard, particularly for eli sharabi, whose wife and two daughters were to where he will return on his own, but not alone. wyre davies, bbc news, tel aviv.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu issued this statement during his visit to the us. back our hostages stop we would take care back our hostages, we would take care of their security. this is an instruction i gave the delegation, to tell president trump agreed with me. bring back all the hostages. prisons across the country before being taken to gaza. we heard from some of them about their experience in detention. translation: this is the result of being abused while being - taken from one place to another, from one i have a mild case. and the severe type that those

who stayed behind prison suffer from greatly. translation: it's an indescribable feeling, j i had been away from home for 21 years. translation: l was beaten| yesterday during my transfer they beat me on my hand and my legs. l some of the palestinian prisoners released today. our correspondent injerusalem, joe inwood has more so we saw the three men standing on stage. and i think compared to other hostage releases, they looked far more gaunt than we've previously seen. and there's been widespread condemnation here and real

the three men were taken to military hospital once they were released, and we saw the scenes on theirface, i think, and we've seen that... we've actually had a statement from the from the hospital looking after them in the last hour or so saying that they are severely malnourished. about the state of some of the prisoners released on the other side. yeah, we've had these calls from both sides. and when you see the pictures of the palestinian prisoners coming off the buses, again, some of them look in a bad condition. treated and wanted more attention to be paid to their condition, too.

and joe, obviously there is pressure for these process to continue. just update us on what the latest thinking is on that. where the talks will be held any time now. we understand that at the moment, the opening talks and actually, we heard from the international committee and what we expect is going to happen is that once those are concluded, if those are concluded, we'll move to talks around stage two. now, this is a much more difficult bit. stage one concerns the temporary ceasefire and 33 that's where we are now. stage two is about moving to a permanent ceasefire,

a permanent peace between the two sides, and all the remaining living hostages released. now, that was always difficult. it was always going to be difficult. from president trump, so much talked about over the last week, suggesting that gaza could be turned into a riviera of the middle east and handed over to the united states to be controlled by them has cast an extra shadow over the talks. and so they are feeling a little bit more uncertain. in private and we really don't know what is going to be discussed and how they'll be progressing until we get news from within the talks. and do we know, joe, why there was a delay to this it was due on day 16, wasn't it? yeah, and that would have been on monday. out at the time that they were in some way taking part in the talks. now we should say that the conversations never take place directly between israel and hamas.

they're always done through mediators, through negotiating partners. and those are the qataris, the egyptians, and the americans. and on monday, you did have a statement from hamas saying that they were in qatar and ready for talks. and you had the israelis in washington having conversations between prime minister netanyahu and steve witkoff, the us special representative. so i think both sides are quite keen to portray themselves as not breaching the terms, but i don't think that the conversations were starting in a meaningful sense as we were expecting. i think the truth is, these are going to be very, very difficult talks. they were going to be framed and dictated to some extent by conversations that prime minister netanyahu had in washington, most notably that one with mr witkoff and, of course, president trump. and i think we weren't going to get any serious moves and prime minister netanyahu was back and could set the joe in with the uk by minister

regretted his �*badly misjudged comments' and apologised for any offence caused. giving us more details. he's currently a, well, he has been, up until now, a health minister under keir starmer�*s government newspaper that's been published online this evening, sent in a group. and it highlights a few of them that have incredibly offensive about fellow mps, including the deputy prime minister, angela rayner. diane abbott, the first black woman mp to have

and it points out that these are incredibly offensive and that he has been sacked. so the paper had approached the labour party and downing and sacked andrew green as a health minister and also suspended him from the labour party pending an investigation. so there has been a statement from number ten, a spokesperson saying that the prime minister is determined to uphold high standards of conduct in public office and he will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards as he has in this case. now, the labour party says it's going to be investigating these comments made in this whatsapp group, and it says swift action will be taken if individuals are found to have breached the high standards expected of them. so i think the party, downing street, are very keen action.

in a statement on x, saying that he regrets those comments and is sad to have been suspended from the party. he is a long standing mp, as i said, but i think, you know, keir starmer has had resignations already in his government. so definitely unwelcome news for the prime minister this evening. for the wrongful death of their children, have accused programme — they say they're taking the company to court, to find out the truth about what happened to their children. here is what one mother, lisa kenevan, said to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg about it. and lisa, for you, what do you hope the court case might on a huge corporation, to go to court in america?
