the the, this is the, the we news lying from berlin, her mouse releases to you as hostages for what it calls humanitarian reasons. meanwhile, there's growing concerns about conditions in gods on the un secretary general demands the opening of a border crossing to bring in a from egypt program. israel maintains its air strikes on the gaza strip bombing areas in the south, where it had previously told, tell stadium, sig, safety, the

release. welcome to the program. we begin with some developing news. how mazda is it has released to american hostages for what it calls humanitarian reasons. the mother and daughter were among around $200.00 captives, abducted by her most during it's tara tax and israel on october 7th. the is really prime minister's office is the freed hostages. are being taken to a military base, they've been named as judas and natalie rondon and we can now bring in journalists semi circle. he joins us from jerusalem. tell me, what more can you tell us about the hostages has been released. yeah, well let's do this. and then go to natalie there from the suburb outside the chicago, and they were visiting family in the hellos which is the adjacent to the gaza

strip, to have the relatives in, in the area. and they were abducted by how miles um would we know is that it probably a jew this has some medical lab issue and that how much they say that they released the 2 of them for humanitarian reasons. the 2 of them have crossed to the cross, the border into his room, and they have been taken to a military base. and from there they're going to be taking it to a military location inside his ran, where they're going to meet the relatives. and this evening there's going to be a meeting between the 2 and the relatives. and this was also released from these really a prime minister's office. and what do we know about the welfare of the hostages for still being held by a mazda israel says most of them are life so we don't know

much. we know that there are. busy both but how much and also the islamic jihad at the time said that they're holding some 30 hostages. we know that there's one video that was the release of a young. busy busy woman that there's a hostage in the gaza that was released during the week. so. so how much has been trying to show that they are a capable of a taking care of these uh hostages. but also they're giving out the message that the fee is really is continuing with the, with bombing the guns or strips. and they're putting them in the danger. we know that the cut that it is involved in, in these adults. and they're the ones who are, have been most active in the child to release those and the captive in the

gaza strip. you know, guitar, of course, with very strong ties to how much, what is the, is really government's outlook on securing the release of the rest of the hostages . $200.00 of them, at least. can they bring them back without some kind of a deal with him on that's the big the prime minister's office today released the statements. and they said that the government is prioritizing the release of those. it has, it has the hostage in the gaza strip. at the same time, they say they want to wage a military ground campaign inside the gulf will strip it today. we've heard assessment of the discount pain is going to last for months, many months. this means that those what has been inside the gaza strip could be in danger. and the for sure. uh, there is a,

a problem here because on the, on the one hand the government does say, but they want to release them. on the other hand, the saying that they want to exterminate how mos, uh, there was a read the case how much they want to destroy the military capabilities of how was and they want to launch a ground defensive against how much it was. a guns, a strip. now, how would these really government be able to both release prisoners and wage this campaign? this is the big question. that's the big question indeed. that was during the last time you circle in jerusalem, thanks. united nations secretary general antonia gutierrez, has visited the roof of border crossing between egypt and gaza, calling for it to be opened to allow 8 to reach palestinians, garza spacing shortages of fuel food and medicines. but new ones has more than 2000000 people are at risk of dehydration and water of warren diseases,

a lauri's or queueing up at the border, but not being allowed into the territory. the un says 100 truck loads a day are needed. mr. gutierrez said, the difficult situation required extra ordinary humanitarian measures. and unfortunately, these is not a lot of money, many federal price, and it's, it will put, i should be in the water zone. and that is the reason why i have appeals. what are you manufacturing ceasefire? not that i can see that the manufacturing ceasefire is a pretty condition for the manufacturing delivery. we don't want to punish the guys the people twice, 1st, because of the war. and 2nd, because of the lack of humanitarian aids. but it is clear that to many that ensues fire would make good savings much easier and much safer for everybody. so if israel launch is a ground defensive into gaza, it will have to deal with

a sophisticated network of tunnels under the territory used by him. off and other is list groups, perhaps hundreds of kilometers long. it's known as the gaza metro. one of many is really air strikes on garza, this one targeting cause tunnel network according to the israel defense forces or id f or destroying the tunnels used by the militant islam is group how boss has long been a priority for israel's military. the network runs underneath garza connecting its cities running to the border with israel and also connecting the strip with egypt. the tunnels. let militant store weapons launch attacks and are believed to contain how much command centers, because those tunnels are also lifeline to the outside world. passage ways for importing essential goods, as well as weapons under a long standing is really blockade. this animated video released by israel shows what they suppose that they looked like inside militant as limits. tomas has been

developing the tunnel networks since they came to power in 2007 recently him us claim the tunnel network is 500 kilometers long. i'm us another to how does groups use tunnel exits? basically holes in the ground so much rocket attacks on is really the launches are then brought back underground. that makes them nearly impossible for israel to see or target israel has tried bombarding the tunnels and 2014 in 20172021. to destroy the network without success, but with a significant civilian casualties. the tunnel network is reportedly woven underneath marketplace as apartment blocks and hospitals. that's got more from frank language, he's a senior lecturer and strategic studies at fort smith university and a former u. k. military intelligence officer, he joins us now from oxford. frank could see you again. you recently wrote the fine for guys will be unlike any previous urban war. why spoke?

to gave me a call the 1st day the, the called. the 1st reason is precisely that. you've just seen that that's the extensive tunnel network because of metro that was described, which keeps it on the ground element to this. so it was ready, so it just won't have to just look to that side up. also by the way to us is drug systems which are also heavily involved will be in this that they will figuratively and literally be looking onto the ground as well. and not the implication of losses that they will need to look behind to, even if they secure an area, it can never be saw that they secured all the tunnel entrances and exits. but that bolden aware of that. there is also the more high tech elements and that's on both sides as well to be deployed. probably be deployed drones, systems that may be driven or directed by i. there's some evidence that already

done, not be handheld recognizance drones flying through buildings looking for human beings, but the signatures so that products can select targets with somebody. so just look up. yeah, they'll be looking for drugs 1st time up that we saw in the report briefly how these tunnels have been used up to this point. but with, you know, a ground offensive by the is really forces immune and how do you expect from us to use them supposed to be using them 1st of all, as positive defense. and again, we sold us in the field. well, that means is uh it's, it's shelter at the headquarters combined the control systems and communications will all be centered around the tunnel system. and that's one reason why you're seeing such an extensive series of asked likes in this preparatory phase. the 1st of what mr. collins is really defense minister told step would be 3 phases. so this is a part rephrase that phase. what they're trying to do is collapse as many of those

tunnels this icon, as well as to deliver as much as they're kind of in terms of intelligence. so yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's why we always that bias and thomas will be using those tunnels to trans transport wetlands, of course, on personnel, which is why as well as troops are going to be, have to be really careful with the cleveland area. they can never be quite sure that it's truly clear, but here's the thing, is well prepared for this, the special tunneling units that use the highest and latest form of technology a will use up in order to get into destroyed or, or if necessary, if they believe hostages of their record or to an end, so those tunnels as they prepare the ready, but it's going to be very tough. is there any way to know how successful they have been with their air strikes in destroying best bass system of tunnels under casa? ok, so every, every one of those strikes that you see on your screen is subject to something

called battle damage assessment. so that will assess the results of the bombing. again, see, again, subjective, so they'll have some assessments as to what's been achieved, but frankly, to call the only way of doing that is to wait and see if it's a tunnel. is it still that is where it is or find out soon enough. of course, it's not to appear from them. as frank language is pleasure speaking to you again, bye. thank you. a god knows how much one health industry says more than 4100 palestinians have been killed and 13000 wounded in is really strikes so far. israel has continued it's showing of the territory, including the south, where it had previously told gardens to go for their own safety. a mouse has also fired rockets into israel as palestinians wait for that humanitarian a to cross the border from egypt. they are ready and waiting

a percentage of these a trucks is supposed to be allowed through the roof or crossing the only crossing into gaza. not controlled by his wheel. 20, you know a trucks regatta, 2 and a half 1000000 people need assistance. 20 trucks is dropped in the ocean of need right now and gaza on the other side of the roof, a crossing there is may him and despair. even if southern gaza is where it is. we all told the northern guidance to go for safety sake, heavier strikes and con eunice in the south, and then the overflowing nicer hospital took in even more wounded for critical care . there's no safety. there's no way to say thank god, so how does it so you have to be ready to dine and to just stay in. your house will be when there is a threat originating or uh, being conducted against israel from the south. and we will strike absolutely is

wheels. army will soon move into the gaza strip. israel's defense minister told the troops massing on its border oh my god, i promise you that whoever sees gaza now from afar will see it from the inside. good luck. oh. and is really ground operation will likely focus at 1st on the north with some us expected to put up fierce resistance. all of that pushing even more guys in south were in need of food, water, medical supplies, and back on the other side of the rough, a crossing age supply stream into a nearby airport, destined to join the backup, waiting to get into southern gaza. let's take a look now at some other news about the conflict. palestinians took part in friday prayers in east jerusalem as, as rarely security forces. bard worshippers, aged under 50, from entering the all acts of most security in the area was also tightened and some roads closed. us presidential, buying those,

urging americans to support tens of billions of dollars and funding for israel and ukraine. he says they're fighting for democracy 5 and also stress that back in both nations was vital for us. national security german foreign minister on elena bab bulk has called for the immediate release of hostages, held by a month after meeting is really leaders. she said israel has the right to defend itself, but urged protection for civilians. bulk also announced and aid package for gaza. meanwhile, families of german hostages who were taken in b, her lost her attacks, have travel to berlin to pressure the government to take more action driven president, son farther, stein lamb at some of them saying that he was deeply moved by the replies and that germany is doing everything in his power to secure the captives release, the families happened speaking to the w. y cisco. she's a really,

really you woman. is this picture here? she's meeting headphone you boon babies knows marguerite moses was kidnapped by him aust terrorist along with 5 other family members. their relatives have come to germany to keep pressure on the government here. that's what all this. here is this mr. shows me and i told you, but we don't want to interfere with the gentleman but but you have to do some of the attacks of less than with sleepless nights and endless thoughts about their loved ones. oh bishan. here is to try all of this is

a gentleman the real back against the devil. and not only shows them simple that doesn't really go well. not simple. israel is planning to evacuate. the city of carry out small, not following days of classes with hezbollah fighters along the border with loving on the city is home to 20000 people and is just 2 kilometers from the border. is really authorities. i've been steadily evacuating communities along the northern frontier. deal anita goldstein have driven up to k yet simona to pick up the father level to take him to south and out of range of rockets 5 across the border by his beloved my father is very, very minute. that's where we take him take home. it takes to, to,

to my home and the prices i've this is why the leaving sirens wail is a power outage of rocket streets towards israel from level 2, yet simona has already been hit by those munitions. yeah, i me say it's time to go us because this kind of about to ation allows v i d. s to expand this operation of freedom to act against the hezbollah tire business of all people. many residents have in fact already left before the enforced evacuation for the confident they'll return or action with the situation either right now, is there a difficult like my body to say? but you know what we're going to in? no one is can be tough. that's it. no one is can be done. this is what all over the

world. they don't understand. we're going to fight and fight on residents splitting the know off and now joining tens of thousands of israelis who have left their homes in the south near a gaza on the last terror attacks have even prompted a small number of is released to leave the country entirely wondering about their safety and despairing their governments apparent inability to protect them. some fear they might never feel secure again to the used funding for shar, reports from tele shown e could be living her happiest life. she and to a friend know of both recently became others for the 1st time as being safe, as jews in israel no longer feels like a given. i'm 33 years old. i never felt like i need to be ready to go. is there any, is my country is my home. i it's,

it was always like history. it was always stories. stories that happened in the bath. that never happen again by now or? yeah, now it's, it's, it's our lives. they want to be able to leave if they have to, so they're organizing paper work for their babies. calling me doesn't have a passport here. so we're preparing that. we saw earlier the vaccine nations that's. that's how this off from leaving april. we need to leave. the women's conversation revolves around the question of whether to stay or go. they say many people are toward israel is made up of us, the jewish people and it will all leave nobody to be left and so so very sad to think about it here in tel aviv hardly any one feels like swimming, they move the somber. everyone is on edge. this is our country. we don't have any,

any other place. so i'm, yes, i'm scared, i'm afraid. but i'm not leaving. never a lot of conceptions we had and stories that we called ourselves about. b as a security just broke 2 weeks ago. now we, we are trying to establish news stories to cut ourselves what it means to be these people are not alone in their concern. before october 7th, a strong element of israeli society was trust. the state could logic keep people safe despite the regional hostility that has changed. a recent polls suggest that 2 thirds of his release are extremely concerned or frightened, and would in full 5th see the attack as a failure of the government. those pull numbers found shocking, but are they,

donnie ashamed? lynn is a public opinion analyst focusing on police and conflict research in israel. they are pretty shocking, considering that it's very rare for israelis to have any sort of consensus. this is a perennially divided society. it's been politically and socially divided since the start of statehood, but then again, we are an unusual time and i think it's really are going through that together in the sense that the state has let them down. getting out of israel has been difficult since the attack. many flights have been cancelled. but along with foreigners, he's railways are leaving, even if only for a while. new and shiny, don't know yet where they might go. if they decide to to our considerations is that the government is and is pro is red and the population is it was like most, most land christians, jews where we have in is read like

a big is rarely community. those wouldn't be the consideration we would take. it's ironic that now we need to find a safe place outside of his room. and these are so big dilemma, because in our store we do feel safe here. but in reality, it's not safe to do is to is to raise their babies in peace. but they say growing anti semitism world wide means it is increasingly difficult to say. who are that might be a conflict, has prompted pro palestinian protests around the world fair in berlin. such demonstrations have in band with police signing fears for public safety. despite the bad hundreds of people have been arrested at rallies in support of the palestinians that has raised questions about free speech and the right to demonstrate. here. a d seems like desktop played out your tongue. bell lane streets,

large groups of angry men throwing rocks, both tools and even fireworks that police who responded with walter counting. hundreds have been arrested. parts of the city have been on a knife edge since police find pro palestinian protest with the official saying, such gatherings have been used to incite hatred. calls for the killing of jews, or the destruction of israel, their small skin barrel in worship, or se bonding protest is the wrong approach. that story to the should be the possibility. this is also included in german law for demonstrations as long as they are not violent is provide to this end up on this. so you have the feeling that the german state use of freedom of speech when it wants that mean freedom of speech movie is really citizen, the not for the palestinian citizens to defend this tremendous look at the spanish speaking. that's a jewish school in the capital. the head of a center, right,

cd your party said he box, the bond is good to go. so that will have to be a band on activities against people who have not turned it off. and of course, it will also have to be a band on demonstrations machine. so if what happens is what we have seen often enough or too often in the last 10 days, numerous, namely that that has been violent demonstrations here to that. an echo of the political mainstream for gemini, the focus know very much on 0 tolerance of anti semitism. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. a north korean leader kim jong own has discussed closer cooperation with moscow during a meeting with the russian foreign ministers or a good lover of the gremlins. tom diplomat proposed regular security talks with young young to deal with what he called us, lead regional threats. talking to the 20th of the 3 people have been killed in
