disappeared without warning, only to recess as a north korean propaganda video. was happened from north korea with love starts october 25th on d w, the using dw news from berlin. my name's phil guy, let me update you on the top story of the unfolding crisis in gaza. and israel palestinians in northern garza has started to move south after these, right. the military gave them a k more than a 1000000 of the 24 hours to lead at the north of the territory. you advertise movement on that scale would be impossible. a mass was cold, was investigated in gauze and to stay in the homes. very well. israel is moving

more vis ministry to the board that i had of unexpected invasion of gauze. my sense is runs heavy bombardment of the gaza strip and the last 24 hours this killed 13 hostages, including foreigners held by the group. i was thinking of official site, more than 1700 people, including more than 500 children have been killed in the be tell me i 3 attacks was i say, how much has told people in northern causes to stay put despite value evacuation warning. a thing from german public television produce this report from inside the territory. this causes 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. the ad building with smoke and dust from

is really missile 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 to 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. even waiting for 5 hours already. the 9. 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 moments late 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 is israel blocks power and water supplies steals to generate is running low in the dock and this 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, but 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 riley hostages. dropped inside gaza overseas family members of innocent people called in the conflict. so powerless and brussels. whether you're opinions headquarters, these w's rosie purchase, augment some of those hoping and praying that their loved ones will make it out. after a moment of silence, israel's national anthem echoes 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 diety inside a group of israelis, buffalo's between meetings as parliamentarians, making the case for more action. we need to know um, as she lays out the photos of loved ones, 11 of whom are presumed kidnapped by him. us look at these family. okay. they're not on these. riley's many of them shun. 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. and 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 europe in union says age stands with israel,

but the blog because also warns the country against looking supplies to gaza. cutting what uh, got a electricity cartoon for to mass where she really and people is engaging international. so yes, the actual measures that had not the, in accordance with the international. that's why little, why fi is terrified to hailing from casa. we meet her at her home outside befalls, as she frantically tries to get family members out of the stripped. but they're trumped. well for you, why can they hide up? they've nowhere to run to the starting to run out of milk, milk, bread, drinking water to put the layla, rejects the actions of him off. and the is really response through this is the killing civilians has never developed the palestinian cause. we've always said to the killing palestinian civilians does not make israel safe on both sides. now we are weeping mothers. we are parents searching for our children. we are both at the

mercy of xtreme is politics. we shall have the same pain, but in opposing camps in mid on the cope with a 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 full, i'm a hostage negotiator and of the book order out of chaos. thank you so much for joining us. we'll just days and we'll get this 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 the stuff, click clear from the options that we've seen or the last few days and with the bill to post is write a full says on the board with gaza. you is going to be an incursion,

i think that's, that's very clear to see. and it's imperative that step, so all taken empower, allow to open up negotiations to get those hostages out safely. well, the challenge here compared to normal host is tell you kings, is that this is taking place in the not to 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, it, everybody's interest to well study from these right is to get the people back and then from a massive side to actually if it's about prisoner swaps, whatever it is, is to engage in those kind of conversations. so it's fair to say that some kind of dialogue through the policy media to those whether or not that's the guitar is the

captions. whomever has probably more than likely started. yes, it says a number of hostages have already been killed in each. riley, beside the tides. 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 old because of is really military efforts. i think a lot in every single kidnapping and hoss he's teaching case i've been involved and the threat to my aid and on rare occasions, some kind of violence and forces being used against the hostages. i think with the shea number, we took him to change of a 150 hostages. and i 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 that israel will not. i'm presuming countenance paying a run, so to get that people a bag of a code, 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 is no policies that can be made here. however, all steps will be tightened, and then it's preparing. the family pulls a 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, will 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 agreeing 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 you a secretary sites on sunday? blink, and has been holding talks with palestinian leader, my food abbas and jordan. mr. abbas has the palestinian authority which controls the occupied by spot. he's initially made no comments on the how much time or how much terrorist attack in these ro. for the hours ago, he released the statement condemning violence against affiliate by both sides secretary blank and had earlier visited israel, where he met in television with families still ringing from the hamas 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, 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, a bike to an until a v, a high profile visitor. i came to israel bearing a simple message. united states stands with 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. going can also met families of missing is really relatives and friends of hostages taken by him us, and now being held in casa by mary. the hearing our story makes decisions human. this is a human issue. these are civilians that are missing and has been captured.
