the the, this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin. b says israel has agreed to daily for our military pauses in northern gauze. the white house has called it a significant 1st stop. but as the funding continues inside the territory, there has been no official confirmation from israel, of a formal plan. also coming out, ready to pay the ultimate sacrifice. we talked to the families of israel's young conscripts sent to the front line for the 1st time, the

hello, i'm terry morris, and good to have you with us. us says israel has agreed to pause its military operations in parts of northern garza for 4 hours a day. it's hope the regular holton hostilities will allow people to flee and could play a part in the release of hostages, and move as seen as a significant per step by the white house sold. a formal plan for implementation has not been confirmed by as real. as putting continues me, it's very me is binding its way to the gaza strip. this idea of what it shows it's solely just inside the therapy dog things from us positions. the advanced into the heart of gods as it comes with a heavy price for palestinians. the

cause of the largest hospital or cheapest, is being labeled when with civilians injured in the intense fighting they were trying to flee to the south. as soon as we got to the street a tank. here's all the un says the bombardment has displaced about 2 thirds of the day of these residence this week, tens of thousands of palestinians have moved south to seek safety. these rarely prime minister continues to insist. there will be ne file without the release of hostages. no, the fighting continues against the home of the enemy, the from us terrace, but in specific locations for a given period of a few hours here a few hours there. we want to facilitate a safe passage of civilians away from the zone and fighting. and we're doing this

is where it says mossey. those are hiding, can cause us underground donald system. at least some of the nearly to 40 hostages taken by the police, are also believe to be there is where it says the ground defensive will continue until the milligan group is destroyed which will likely see mall gardens part in the crossfire to look for the very latest thoughts cross over to jerusalem, where our correspond. atanya kramer is standing by tanya, the us as is real, has agreed to start daily for our pauses in areas of northern gauze. uh, what are you hearing from the israelis about that or the seems to be a appears to be a difference in messaging here is israel has not really confirmed that they're saying this is mary what they already had in place. and the army spokesman, a spokesperson, brief report is on thursday evening and said very clearly,

this is not a cease fire of for several hours. but rather that they will be implementing those 4 hour windows. they see it as a tactic, oppose as well, to pauses for humanitarian aid, but also for people, for residents in the north of goza, to move of again a south towards the south, and also that they already have this in place. and the past safe is it opened these corridors where people are able to move. so it's been, has refused, you know, to go for longer sees part or a one or 2 days. these for that has been pushed for by the us administration because they say they don't want to give him us the possibility and the other minutes in groups to, to regroup. so this would be as far as we understand, intimate, implemented in different areas without a so with a very short notice for people to be able to move or to, to go out. and of course, we need to see if this is actually happening today. and of course,

parting is continuing in garza city from what we're hearing the from on the ground is there is prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he told a us broadcast or the israel does not want to govern government guys. a wants to funding stops. does is really have an exit strategy for gauze or, or any long term plan for the territory ton. i think this is still too early to say, and again, there be getting mixed messages from this very side. there's no plan that has been really presented to the popular goal also to the palestinians. so the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that in one interview in the beginning of the week, that is or would be still responsible and power phrasing. now for garza security indefinitely, any appeared to then in a different interview just now he said we don't seek to conquer or occupy or got a girlfriend, a gaza. but still that that needs to be

a credible force. and that how much needs to be eliminated? no, of course this doesn't happen if you you have to look also what has been the in place and goes a before is what has been a moving. i'll discuss that. it's settlements in 2005 and been homeless. a took a power in engagement in 2006, 2007. since then is was controlling the land board us together with egypt in the south, and the see and also the s space and is controlling what's going in and out of gaza . so it's too early to say at this stage, you know, because we have to wait how this would actually ends and also whether this is really government is still in place after the end of this war. so a lot of focus, of course has been on hum us which launched that horrific attack on october 7th. but there's another palestinian islamic group, the palestinian islamic jihad there. it's apparently holding hostages to it's now

signal that's willing to release 2 of them. what more can you tell us about that, tony? well they published a video on social media of 2 hostages and on then a 12 year old boy they were calling on the is really government and this video to, to do everything it can to, to bring them home. that has been a lot of talk this week about a possible breakthrough a to we to release some of the hostages by the menu to see that color in each of but so far as with all these hostage negotiations that are going on behind co stores or we don't know exactly what is happening. there is ro has said also they refusing to go for seats for unless all the hostages are released. but of course, at least this is the sign of life, of these 2 hostages for the relative. but it also shows the different groups, as you said, holding hostages in gaza, but we have to wait and see if there is

a break. so in the coming days, tony, thank you very much. that was our correspondent tony kramer, there in jerusalem. and let's get some analysis. now. joining me is military analyst frank language. he's a senior lecturer in strategic studies at portsmouth university on a former u. k. military intelligence officer frank israel continues to reject calls for a broader cease fire saying that would be a surrender to hom, us, but it seems it has agreed to. busy causes in the fighting, at least in the north. is there a risk for israel here of how most exploit thing those pauses to their own advantage? well, good morning, terry. yes, certainly, thomas with specs wrong these ladies would, would claim so, but i don't see it as a particularly significant tactical risk. of course, there are advantages presentation, the amount of the issues that is real faces and the us chattahoochee choice chips of stuff said yesterday is that it could be

a little bit more skillful on his presentation. i think that's true, and it might help could be that way. tactically, there's no great risk. but if it was happening here, of course, at the wider context, i've sent it out, said directly by time here is the, is the hostages to the disgusting about cx. 5 oppose is always have a terminal disease. this is part of much wider discussion going on. and cut off in cairo, and indeed to some extent in terms of policy in d. c, as well as tell of it when it within israel is that there are 2 major policies. one policies it needs negotiation dislike but most thought which types of these matters to be pro deeply pragmatic. and let's say less whole case. either there's nothing yahoo and the issue for the negotiate is apparently, is the method you know, who continues to increase the amount of with respect to hostage release is that of course the 1st issue is to find out how many hostages are really to who they are

and that's sort of the, at the top of israel's to month. so it's a very confusing situation around. so as far as hostages and pauses us chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is called israel's aim of destroying. hum, us completely, a pretty large order. do you, do you think eliminating from us is a realistic goal, frank, such a date of progress and this at yahoo and his stuff is slightly shifted since the starts at the bowl from 9 ladies in routing out to the destroy thomas to eliminating the military capability and i suppose in strict tons that's doable, but the problem is, and this is what general brown in washington is, is stressing is if it's very difficult to eliminate an idea, this would be mike. last off his book was killing, perhaps the civilians and ways that are not properly explained or will

perhaps even justified. that's a, that's a new question, but there is this information will that of the lice much of this right now is tanya entered, the information big given out? the strategy is it was, is, is very uh sketchy. no. i think in fairness we, oh actually it's a very early stage of this will. one should demand a full list of objectives and predictions. now that we should be starting to shake them up, that doesn't seem to be happening. there's been a lot of talk, frank from the very beginning about the risk of this conflict spilling over into the broader region. we heard from the rainy and foreign minister, recently warning of an expansion in the scope of the war, saying that what was inevitable. meanwhile, we've got the pentagon saying that the us and coalition forces have been attacked at least $46.00 times since october 17th, including in a rec, and syria,

by iran's proxies. it would seem is, is it too late? frank to contain is conflict as a subsidy were on an escalade for the past. however, throughout motor ratings factors in this last sort of day, the hezbollah leader let them assign master level, and i'll start looking at the login details. speech with the message which was we're not going to get involved yet to we was involved in and to help us attack in any way. no. was it wrong? so that was a motor racing speech as it were, which it certainly slowed things down, but the attack on a bill, a base epics nero though it wasn't iraq. yesterday, the dispatch last last couple of days of popular militias into syria to supposed to join the fight. last night we have reports, you know, at a different uh, in a different domain of what is, what is, in fact a cyber attack,

probably bias or on the evidence all indicate that we are on this escalate tree path. and i think be arranging for administered as least words was that was trying to message that. i'm the right now. there's no counter valid falls us to or both. now, of course, militarily sykes on, on syria and a few weeks ago anyway. rock frank, it's most certainly a type of situation. you know frank ser, thank you very much for your analysis. that was military analyst prank level is joining us from oxford in the u. k. well, the threats to civilian life is all too obvious in gaza. city and the world health organization has been warning of the deteriorating conditions leading to infectious diseases there. but there is little relief for those who make it out of the war torn city to the relative safety of the south and a lack of electricity and medical supplies makes the situation particularly challenging for those with existing health conditions. the students being displaced

from the jamalia, a refugee camp in the north, honda of whose aid has been living in attend in con eunice in the southern gaza strip. the 55 year old has health problems including severe asthma which she has been suffering from for years. she needs to use her inhaler daily and can only do so by connecting it to a battery. there is no electricity here and that's not the only a hardship in the camp. and i think it's never. and if i have severe shortness of breath in, the 1st thing that helps me is my device. ok, but the temperature inside the tent is very high. and it's humid, many and at night i can't sleep. whenever the neighbors use a fire to cook, it affects my breathing. i used to have a monthly appointment with the u. n. agency. and i used to receive monthly treatment. so when we come to the camp for just place to people is overcrowded.

27000 people live here with no adequate health facilities and no electricity. proper treatment is difficult several times a day and it has to walk to the charging station to recharge the battery for her inhaler. and that's when there's not enough power in the battery. i have to go and charge it. it's a distance of half a kilometer. every 2 steps i have to stop and rest, then i use the inhaler at least 10 times a day. maybe more than that. a lot. it's a really long distance for me. i'm tired. do i need electricity? i need help. there is a health care center inside the camp, but it's not equipped to provide all services that patients need to perform. however, doctors and medical staff here try their best to give their patients as much care

as they can with what they have at their disposal. and you know, we receive dozens of medical cases because of environmental and water pollution and infections. that's in addition to the many cases of chronic diseases like kinda who suffers from asthma and, and china and needs treatment on a daily basis. our treatment is aimed at alleviating the severity of the chest pain that she suffers from the other along with other displaced sick people. and the other was a hopes to soon be provided with electricity inside the tent. being able to charge and operate her inhaler here would make survival a little bit easier. so a while ago i spoke with shanna low and jerusalem bass spokesperson for the norwegian refugee council. i asked her whether for our pa. busy causes in the fighting in the north that we've been hearing about would provide any relief to the people in gauze. nothing can be done in a 4 hour pause. first of all,

these pauses are unilaterally declared in order for there to be assurances of civilian safety. we need all parties and this conflict to be committing to these for our classes. but secondly, in terms of of the 4 hours, it's not really enough for humanitarians to go and provide assistance. many of the people stuck in northern garza are struggling to lead because they have mobility issues, people and their families with disabilities. there's no food or water in northern gaza, so people are expected to make this long track on flight. and it's just, it's, it's not safe. they, when they arrive in the south, they won't be assured of their safety either. this is forcing people out of their homes with no assurance that they'll be able to return when hostilities are over. amounting to, for example, transfer, which is increase breach of international humanitarian law. the world health

organization is warning of disease outbreaks and guides the humanitarian situation . there, as we all know, is dire. what are you hearing from your people inside the territory? so we have 54 staff on the ground in guys that were reporting to us daily about what they're seeing and experiencing conditions. there are just getting worse and worse by the day. not only was the increase in the spread of communicable diseases and waterborne illness, but also just to timing, lack of food and water medicine. everything is in short supply in gaza. those who are not staying in designated shelters are having a hard time finding food on the market and not getting uh, a distributions that are being sent primarily to the shoulders for the internally displaced people is you know, i'm sure you know, a shane a cypress has proposed humanitarian, c cor, doors prepaid to, to help relieve the humanitarian situations type and,

and gaza. do you think that could be a viable solution for providing aid to go? so you know, i don't know about all the technicalities and how that would actually be facilitated. but what i do know is that there isn't really time at this point to, to plan on establishing new corridors that we have the egyptian crossing and rasa. there also is rarely crossings that put in should be open. and we need just as a massive influx of 8, however it gets in, it needs to get in, but we don't have time to waste the amount of assistance that's going in, in, uh, is nowhere near. and now what's, what the humanitarian needs are in gaza, and on top of getting their feet in, we need a ceasefire in order for humanitarian organizations and the when to distribute that a palace demand throughout casa and be assured of their safety and the safety of those seeking a trainer, thank you very much for talking with us. i wish i had

a low a spokesperson for the norwegian refugee council. speaking to us from jerusalem of israel is a country were military, some conscription is mandatory. and at times like these following the from us terrorist attack, a lot of young israelis are being called up to the front line for the 1st time. this involves significant risk of course, which is a source of great concern for their parents and loved ones. nobody has been visible and met families waiting for their sons and daughters to return from service. we can't reveal their full names or locations due to security reasons. so okay, but those for the focused reading an army of volunteers at the best way, the american mother a full kind of an easy in charge here. $1500.00 meals a day, feeding, evacuated from communities close to the funding as well as troops on the front of them for less than 20 year old son is one of them. this is the only thing that

distract me from thinking of him and that saw the pictures going around the world are especially hard for cameron to watch. for sun is positive and at least come back to united these being on the ground and guns that since day one. she's only heard back from him a couple times over the stretch of a month. the boss of exact, she says this is her contribution to the blower. essentially. it's amazing. well, it's amazing about the feeling that you do something behind the scenes. it helps a lot of mentally physic everything. and it's like you wake up in the morning and you have something to do because as of now, the whole country is like on hold. the parents in israel know that the children must do military service. but that doesn't make the sacrifice any easier for karen

nights, other toughest i ask her what goes through. i had for everything, everything that you want from sadness to happiness, to proud to know sleep costs and i'm like getting emotional is so difficult really. cameron jones to hear from her son the dread circle from the military. she says, no news is good news. fritz is home to some western, europe's biggest muslim and jewish communities. the government says there have been more than a 1000 anti semitic acts since the start of the israel, how much conflict? but one initiative is trying to call the tensions these young people are learning to reassess some of the prejudices in a workshop organized by a group that includes jews and muslims,

and advocates for friendship between the communities. we are more like then it seems we just the sticker on the van. as the participants are under age, we're not saying that faces. jessica, how would you define discrimination to treat someone badly because of face of posted characteristics? not particularly because what does ages and mean to discriminate against someone because of their age off ohio? hi. let's assume the initiative was founded to fight against the 2 forms of racism, anti semitism, and is satisfied the most of the use of we raise awareness amongst young people in an indirect way or by speaking about discrimination. to sensitize them to we make sure they don't fall into the trap of anti semitism is the multi services red ice f i t t set up the initiative 20 years ago. today's participants, some of the muslims of this christian say, such workshops have opened to the eyes,

which is a good issue. so i always thought the jewish people were keeping to themselves, but also because i didn't know any jews. i realized that was prejudiced. and that you shouldn't judge people without knowing them what it could have, i suppose to get those. i know understand that just because some people in france from different religions aren't getting along right now, it doesn't mean we can't get along here in this district, people from different religions do indeed literally live side by side with the synagogue, a church and a mosque, right? next to each other. so the the read by a mom and to locate christian leaders regularly organized to out events, right. tough to the start of the current conflict between israel and thomas, they gathered to move the debt together. the friendship run state of didn't you have a new policy. it's hardly because of rad by south cheese health that we could open

a mosque in the street 20 years ago. he called the man on our behalf and said there is a building available here that may asked him, are you not afraid of the muslims, mister, suffice? he said, he didn't know. on the contrary, we want them to be close to us so that we can be friends, neighbors and brothers. was that all saw for the local jewish muslim and christian congregations have held together despite the current situation in the middle east, but red valley. so thought he is deeply worried about the future, some on friends who is that we are wondering about our place in the world, the massive demonstrations and the misleading wells with people yelling, dest deduce, desta, israel, israel assess, and they raise questions for humanity to move on with your mind that to use too much responsibility for the minority of 20000000 jews or not. or they go this over visualization,

particularly looking to know. he believes his community's example of religious co existence can show the way so that people elsewhere can learn to share common ground. let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world. today. in the us democratic senator joe mention has announced he won't run for re election. next year in west virginia. democrats will now face and now pill bottle to hold onto the republican leading states and with it. the narrow control of the senate in 2024 for tools president must settle rivelo. the suicide has called snap elections for march . following the resignation of prime minister antonio costa over a corruption pro cost to quit abruptly. on tuesday, after police searched his official residence and arrested his chief of staff, the investigation involved says the government's handling of lithium and hydrogen projects. new york surgeons performed the world's 1st ever transplant of an
