to the topic so much as to use some trouble, fixed a new culture. and then 16 men, let's say together talks about community life on the research is now on the was indeed the news from the linda. my name is phil guy, let me update you on the top story of the unfolding crisis in gaza and israel palestinians in northern cause i started to move south after these writing the truth. i gave them, i'm getting more than a 1000000 on the 24 hours to leave at the north of the territory. you have a sense of movement on that scale would be impossible. a master's quote was investigated golfing to stay in the homes. very well. israel is moving more if it's

ministry to the board that i had of unexpected invasion garza, my sense is runs heavy bombardments of the gaza strip in the last 24 hours has killed 13 hostages, including foreigners. how by the group i was thinking of the official site more than $1700.00 people, including more than $500.00 children, have been killed in the battalion atria tax. as i say, hama says, told people in northern gauze or to stay ports despite that evacuation warning, the theme from german public television produce this report from inside the territory. this guy is a hotel, has become a refuge for civilians. diplomats in general is a place of relative safety. so back from the surrounding residential blocks in this densely populated area on the ad building with smoke and dust from

is really massaged strikes. he's really media say 3600 targets in gauze. a have so far been hit by the is a trained pharmacist. she does what she can to treat the injured administrating 1st aid in the hope that's an ambulance will come to take the casualties to hospital and heavy and see at the moment we have 4 wounded people. here. we've tried our best to stabilize them, but we need an ambulance as quickly as possible. there just aren't any. we've been waiting for 5 hours already. i did on how and if i'm a salad. hardly anyone does venture onto the street. one camera man gets as far as the hotel and friends

nearby housing takes, it directed the moment slate to another strike. this time the shockwave reaches the hotel, lobby, spiked, his couldn't retreat to an extensive network of tunnels. but there's no way for the civil population to go. palestinian officials say more than 1500 people have been killed, including the 500 children. the humanitarian situation is getting more desperate. as israel prox power and water supplies steals to generate is running low. in the darkness repeated missile strikes the whole situation out there isn't human. we urgently need who monetary and

interventions are. foreigners may be stuck here, but we also need a way out. these are civilians, here, mothers and children because even with a safe way out, we wouldn't know where to go and apply them. how to size and many others remain at the hotel. no one knows how long they will be, the palestinian civilians and these randy hostages dropped inside gaza overseas family members of innocent people called in the conflict feel powerless and brussels. whether use your opinions headquarter, w's rosie perch. i've met some of those hoping and praying that their loved ones will make it out. after a moment of silence israel's national anthem, it goes through quite crowds, outside the european parliament and brussels. we're here with the president of the

european council, the president of the european commission, and all of you as one to express a solid r a t inside a group of israelis bustles between meetings as parliamentarians, making the case for more action. we need to know i'm actually laser photos of loved ones, 11 of whom are presumed kidnapped by him. us look at this family. okay. they're not on these. riley's many of them sion, she's a german citizen as well. we're really a s cable for the you to take responsibility and bring their citizens back home after the horrors. know the weight is like a nice thing. they burn the houses. they cute everyone. and they took him to him and we're just trying to save whoever is to your opinion says age stands with israel,

but the blog because also warrant the country against looking supplies to gaza. cutting what uh, got a electricity cartoon for to a mass where she really and people is a gauge international. so yes, the annual max shows that have not been in accordance with the international. that's why little, why fi is terrified to, hey lynne from casa. we meet her out her whole life site, brussels as she frantically tries to get family members out of a strip about their trumped feel free to where can they hide up? they've nowhere to run to the starting to run out of milk, read drinking more to do, put them layla rejects the actions of come off on the is really response to read. this is viewed killing civilians has never developed the palestinian cause. we've always said to the killing palestinian civilians does not make israel safer on the memo. on both sides. now we are weeping mothers. we are parents searching for our children. we are both at the mercy of extremist politics. we shall have the same

pain, but in opposing camps in mid on the call for the for no, all those watching from afar can do is hold on for their taking solace. a no whispered prayer for peace or song, this hope hanging in the air a scope woke up as a form of hostage negotiator and of the book of order out of chaos. thank you so much for, for joining us. we are just days in the vase conflict, is it too soon to expect and negotiations about the release or swapping of these hostages to be taking place? i think we need aside which used to be seen to be negotiating. that's, that's clear. clear from the actions that we seen on the last few days and with the bill to post is right. the full say is only voted with gaza. there's going to be an

incursion, i think that's, that's very clear to see. and it's imperative that steps all taken empower, allow to open up negotiations to get those hostages out safely. well, the challenge here compared to normal host, these types of things is that this is taking place in an active was i right. do you think that those steps taken in parallel, will have begun given that they, they both sides have effectively a rolled outs token, at least publicly? i think it's fair to say that it's in everybody's interest to. well, cindy from these right is to give the people back and then from a mazda side to actually is about prisoner swaps, or whatever it is, is 3 in gauging those kind of conversations. so it's fair to say that some kind of dialogue through the party mediators, whether or not that's the guitar,

is the addictions, whomever has probably more than likely started. yes, it says a number of hostages have already been killed in each riley beside the tags. they've also threatened to kill hostages every time israel strikes. so, do you think we say these riley's on time us? i would do, we will have to accept that there will be hostage dest. i've a jewelry, or because of is really military efforts. i think a lot in every single kidnapping and whole she's teaching case have been involved and that has the threats made and on rare occasions some kind of violence and forces being used against the hostages. i know, i think with the same number we talking pertains to a 150 hostages. and the said with the fact that this is taking place and a was own that there is sadly,

inevitably going to be some of the tragedy that which is why i guess is more incumbent to bring about some kind of negotiation to get the people out sooner rather than later on, piled on top of that is the fact that it is likely that face hostages are being kept in one of the most densely populated parts of the planet. and of course, that how much has this network of tunnels to escape into. as it does and i think right now would be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying lead casey, where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course in the background, this talk of potentially hosted rescue attempts. but these are very, very dangerous options. with no way to guarantee chance of success. so trying to

locate where those hostages all and to work out who to speak to, to bring about their release is a big challenge. another complicating factor must be the israel will not, i'm presuming countenance paying a run. so to get that people a bag of a could not a countenance funding. how soon anyway? yeah, i think that's, that's fair to say. the question of why did, how much take the hostages in the 1st place again is a, is an interesting point. you know this? yes, there's been how does she me shows at the moment that's, that's clear to say, i mean, i would simply that won't apply some leverage further down the line around potentially some present exchanges. and we've seen is ro, has been, consist relatively consistent in the past, or prioritizing the safe return of the citizens, even if it does take a walk to the side. right?

you've been in the room, i presume we're going to specially, i'm gonna ask you to speculate that how does it work? who talks to who, how about what, i guess what, what happens is normally you get along saw you get in the room with the family or the company and obviously straight away. it's about reassuring the family that will do everything we can to get them back. but there is no guarantees, there's no policies that can be made here. however, all steps will be tightened, and then it's preparing the family full of the coal that may come in. the cold from the post is tell you because or even the loved one by the host, these take his place, understanding what is it that we need to say? what our objectives, which will be, we'll need to reassure the host is tight because yes, we have them. we taking this seriously. it's about obtaining what's called

a proof of life. by data, we speak to the hostage to make sure that they're live well. and then it's a green some next steps, maybe the next time to speak over the phone on exactly what it is that the host is . take is on the monday. thank you so much for talking us through that scott walker form a hostage negotiator and the offer of order after of couse. thank you so much. are your secretary sites on sunday blinking has been holding talks with palestinian leader, my food abbas and jordan. mr. abbas has the policy in, you know, star se, which controls the occupied by sponsor. he's initially made no comments on the how much tara, on the, how much terrorist attack and these ro. but i was a go, he released a statement condemning violence against affiliate by both sides, tech savvy blink, and had earlier visited israel, where he met in tel aviv with family still being from the homeless attacks. described images of how the trust is shown to him by israel. as the prophecy,

meanwhile, is riley stepping up its response. the award cabinet formed in response to a terrorist attack that's become known as israel's $911.00 at the top of their agenda. the race to bring back around a $150.00 hostages. many of them civilians taken by how much was the government, the value of the whole done of the money to we're still working to locate those kidnapped was up, we need to bring in more special offices, forensics we are receiving assistance from abroad to identify bodies to know who is alive, who is dead well known, who is kidnapped and we will not lift up on this effort. we will not for less help on trying to bring them home, bite them. and until a v, a high profile visitor, i came to israel bearing a simple message. united states stands with his real and with his people.

today, tomorrow, every day in my meetings with the prime minister, with the present hers on with the ministers and israel's really for national emergency government. we discussed in detail what is real needs to defend itself, its people, and how the united states can help to meet those needs. blinking also met families of missing is really relatives and friends of hostages, taken by him a. and now being held in casa by mary the hearing our stories makes decisions human. this is a human issue. these are civilians that are missing and had been captured.
