i think it's an appropriate time, i would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. like two and one and three and fourand two... saturday at 12:00, and after that, i would say... but there was a very significant caveat that, yes, he said if it were up to him, essentially cancel the ceasefire arrangement

the next group of hostages was due to be freed on saturday. for both sides. 21 hostages have been released from gaza. more than 500 palestinian prisoners have also been freed from israeli jails, the agreement has held so far. but hamas now claims israel has delayed the return so it will now postpone the planned release of all hostages. israel has responded furiously, accusing hamas of violating the agreement

it's small steps, progress that would be reversed if the hostage deal breaks down and war resumes. president trump has once again said that neighbouring in from gaza. but as lucy williamson reports from thejordanian capital, a small country surrounded by conflicts, saturated with refugees. in a volatile region, now facing a conflict of its own with its us ally.

chanting thousands protested here last week against donald trump's demand that gaza's population relocate to jordan. a plan seen as helping israel's far right nationalists take over palestinian land. jordan is already home seeking temporary shelter maher azazi left jabalia in northern gaza when he was a toddler. he says gazans have learned the lessons and will refuse to leave. now digging through the rubble of their house

or the days of the native americans and he's an arrogant narcissist. that's not how things are done. jordan's government is treading a tightrope and its people's ties to the palestinians. the gaza war strained existing fault lines here. is pushing them to breaking point. high unemployment here if gazans come tojordan? we will die.

from its key military ally. donald trump has suspended us aid a formerjordanian foreign minister, jordan cannot take any number of palestinian refugees, so if the price is economic sanctions, that is posed tojordan. but risks for amman mean risks for its allies too. and millions of refugees. if stability is jordan's superpower, and its best defence.

jean—loup samaan is a senior research fellow at the middle east institute has always been in a precarious position. well, we always knew that this ceasefire was very fragile, when there was the first ceasefire, we had on the other one. with regards to the distribution of humanitarian aid and the fact that hamas is claiming that the idf, with regards to the future of gaza.

as we saw in lucy williamson's the piece just then. well, i think it is a bit of a delicate mission for — or trip for the king ofjordan. the case that displacing the palestinians is not in the us interest. i don't think they have any illusion or egyptian or palestinian interest. so the case to make is that this is going because this will jeopardise the stability ofjordan. this would, as a result, also jeopardise the stability which is going through unrest or instability, this is not good for israel's security

between the us and the uk, strong relationship between our governments and a very warm, personal relationship between the president and our prime minister. is the extraordinary relationship we have it is unique in the world. and i think that what we need to do so, i'm looking at that very carefully indeed there are some areas where it's very clear that there's a gap
4:17 am
even try and persuade donald trump to change his mind without alienating his administration? we have to take all of these issues as they come, for change in the united states. and how his allies need to adjust sometimes and i believe that given the relationship that we have, we can always make our views known — best, by the way, directly and privately.

ramesh srinivasan is a professor at ucla's department of information studies and director of the uc digital cultures lab. i asked him whether europe and france have a real shot at competing with the big us and chinese players in al. in the european union, it is a widely shared sentiment — not anti—innovation, but not up on the innovation race. i want to call that into question. first of all, the web was invented in europe, which is something that a lot of people don't know. is innovation just spending astronomical amounts of money, draining energy resources, having fairly empty promises about labour or economic security? or is innovation having a balanced approach that recognises that people have civil rights, their privacy matters, labour and economic issues really matter and democracy matters, right.
