hamas gunmen killed over 100 kibbutz members here, 32 were taken hostage. stay and live in gaza. so you can imagine a situation in which you live side by side again? yes, i'm going to come back here. and not fighting about it. next week, stage one of this whole complex ceasefire deal should be complete, but there are still plenty getting them out will require a whole new set of negotiations which have yet to begin. the campaign for tal is over. but as israelis celebrate and

phase one comes towards an end, where this goes next, on towards a more durable ceasefire or back to war, remains as uncertain as ever. let's speak now to 0liver mcternan, mediator and director of the forward thinking charity. thank you very forjoining us. i wonder what you think, of all, the we in. we have had the release are in. we have had the release israeli age in. we have had the release israeli hostages today, 77 palestinian 7 77 palestinian prisoners have 602 palestinian prisoners have yet been released. how not yet been released. how difficult does it make things? i think it complicates it lthink it complicates it —. . s. i unnecessarily. i understood that it unnecessarily. i understood thatitis unnecessarily. i understood that it is minister that it is by minister netanyahu showing his neta nyahu showing his displeasure netanyahu showing his displeasure at what happened in the week, but in earlier in the week, but in doing i think he puts at 77 7t7h7e7who7le page; 77 7 7 7

of media speculation about the way wales are, the state of the game here, but we know that the strength of wales, you know, and i thought matt sherratt and his coaching team did a greatjob of getting a performance out of that team, and it's nothing short of what we expected. we knew they'd finish strongly. we probably lost some kicking battles in that and if you give ireland entries, they're pretty good in there. obviously the lsm, try or no try was a big, big moment. but, listen, we've created a lot of opportunities and i thought in general, it was a really good welsh performance. against scotland at twickenham. it was a close match and in the last few minutes, england were leading byjust one point.

arsenal have dropped valuable points in the premier league with jarrod bowen getting the goal for the hammers youngster myles lewis—skelly was sent off in the second half for fouling mohammed kudus. it's his second red in a month. arsenal are still eight points behind leaders liverpool. everton at goodison park. after a penalty awarded for a foul on ashley young earlier, bruno fernandes started the united second half from beto and abdoulaye doucoure before half—time. are a place behind in 15th.

bournemouth lost 1—0 to wolves, the home side had defender ilia zabarnyi sent off. ange postecoglu's spurs won 4—1 away at ipswich. and at villa park, the home side came back from a goal down to beat chelsea 2—1, with two goals from marco asensio. 2—1 at hibernian, which means they miss the chance to go 16 points clear. 555 55th there were four other matches on saturday, australia have beaten england by five wickets in their opening match of the champions trophy. england set their opponents 352 to win in lahore, but in response australia completed a record chase in icc tournaments with player of the matchjosh inglis finishing it off
