[000:00:00;00] the this is dw news, live from berlin, hold strive for a hostage deal, canteras's israel, and how long us are edging towards an agreement for the release of dozens of hostages being held in gauze from aust kidnapped some $240.00 people during it's definitely cross border read more than a month ago, also coming up cyprus gears to become like you and at the humanitarian aid hub for goss. i'm israel agrees to be core door ships carrying 500 times what

a truck and deliver could soon be to pardon me from the island. and if possible, pivoted to the political right in argentina, voters are choosing any president in the south american country. polls are close spots they put the far right populace malays slightly has the mariana evans, dean. welcome. israel and thomas are close to a green and a deal to release the hostages being held. and the gaza strip. that's according to israel's ambassador to the us, michael haired song here. so it was words echo those of an earlier statement by the guitar, a prime minister at a joint press conference with e. u foreign affairs chief, joseph burrell mohammed autonomy said only minor details remained to be agreed for

him off to free at least some of the more than $242.00 false kidnapped by militants and the october 7th attacks will speaking in the hot guitar as prime minister struck an optimistic tone, the deal is going through a ups and down from time to time, as well as the last few weeks. but i think that to, you know, i'm not more confident that we ought to close enough to reach to a data that can bring the people safely back to their homes without a they all of the hostages on how side or what to go to the exchange that's what happened. we'll take this from those media sites. earlier i spoke with dw correspondent rebecca readers in jerusalem, and i asked her to tell us more about the ongoing hostage negotiations. well, my on, on this deal has been in the making for some days. we've been hearing and you heard

from like a type permanence to this saying this is a deal has been going up and down and, and that's precisely what, what has been happening there been days where we thought, oh it's, it's getting close to a deal. we're going to send some movement and then you know, we heard again from a prime minister benjamin netanyahu last night, and in fact, no jail had been reached. we saw some reporting from the washington post recently. they said that the deal was very close. the sol saying, sorry, you're quoting us, sources at this deal east between these rally us and come off. so it has been getting a, you know, closer and closer. and it certainly seems that we're at the closest point that we face. so fall, the deal appears to be for up to 50 women and children civilian hostages to be released in exchange for a $3.00 to $5.00 day. see saw from the bombardments in gauze and to allow for human to humanitarian aid to be brought in. and to, of course, allow for those hostages to be taken out from us also asking for us prisoner

exchange in terms of some women and children that are in this ready prisons and the sticking point. those seems to be that faced by israel, worried that it will allow from us the time to catch up, to catch his breath and perhaps re um in this war. so we, we, we, we do appear what the messaging, the word and coming out of old from the old negotiate is, is positive. and it does seem that the deal is getting much closer, but still we haven't seen that come to fruition yet. and now rebecca ro, we've also heard that more than 30 premature babies have been evacuated from guys as l chief a hospital. what do we know about the operation that made this possible? a lot of a sudden the array of good news arrive hope in this otherwise really devastating. will these babies? 31 to be exact, has been evacuated from the hospital, its being really on top of the priority list for and years and for the medical

workers inside the hospital to evacuate those babies. when's their incubate? is turned off uh over the weekend because of a lack of fuel to run the generators in the hospital. and now we have seen that success that successfully happened. it was a, a, a procedure carried out by the w h o in conjunction with the palestinian red crescent association. and of course the military as well. he is really military and needing to oversee that as well to make sure that they were granted safe passage. we know now that they safely in the south, so as safe as anyone can be in gauze or at the moment the reality that there is no safe place in garza. but those babies now move to a hospital in the south. there is paperwork and arrangements being made that they will potentially be allowed to cross into egypt to be taken over with some stuff and be looked after and then injection hospital there. now there is still up to 300 people, both patients and personnel in the hospital, very, very sick patients, complicated to have evacuated,

and that is the next part of the process to make sure that they are able to also evacuate from el cheapo. that was d w as rebecca ritter's reporting for us from jerusalem. rebecca, thank you. will sign for is, is preparing to become a hub for a humanitarian aid operation for guns of the government of cyprus. this whole dw, that preparations have now taken a big step forward. cypress is now working on technical and not political issues. currently, the only way to get 8 into gaza is from egypt via the rafa crossing. that is often closed. cypress plans to use is port of law now got together international aid and send it on to gaza. as it's one of the closest places in the you to the strip eatable use, jack power x and distance report of the this is the heart of a plan by the cypriot government to send international aids to gaza. long to pull

to you is just under 400 kilometers away. does it pre its government says israel will most oppose the plan. as long as its official was, can check what's loaded on to ship spend for garza. now, with proceeded from the party to go to the technical part of it. so we've seen that these are politically the implementation, the allies vision of the quarter. and now where does the part that with the technical issues that are being result guessing the ship side to see should be simple enough. the biggest issue would be how to one load them in garza, the pool that has not being fully functional. since israel is blockade from 2007, and israel has booms the area since the october 7th terror attacks, the sit prius plan could build a temporary floating port just off the coast base, a biscuit dramatically, speed up the delivery of aid. one ship it can carry 500 times. what a truck come in nicosia, the cypriot red cross says it's in communication with the government can move aid

like this quickly. we are ready at any time, and we have a such a warehouses smaller in all the districts. so we're ready at any time within the hour. this come on since the next along the ports coordinates between 21 countries . when it comes to evacuations, from crisis zones, it's been operational since 2016. it's set to play a major role in the humanitarian aid cardo plans set them to condition is to have a different security environment. and to be able to proceed with the implementation of these ideas. but of course we are in the context paddling to did those preparations with all stakeholders involved from greece and the netherlands are really keen to get a moving here quickly to notice some of the other stories making news this our european commission president or so a funder line has met with georgians, king of dula in amman to discuss the war and gone to the king of dula,

stressed the need for an immediate cease fire and gauze that to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid founder line said a 2 state solution was needed and that she opposed any force displacement of palestinians. ukrainian authorities say the capital key of has suffered a fresh wave of russian drone attacks. you created authorities, so this stuff up in a sauls follows weeks of come the and verified reports that there were no initial casualties or critical damage. ukraine's air force claims have destroyed 15 of the 20 unmanned drones. protesters of again clash with police and spain's capital madrid after the biggest demonstration, yes, against a planned amnesty for separate is the proposed law. would pardon people involved in a council on independence 55 years ago, spain's prime minister and throw sanchez promise. the law to pro independent parties in return for their support to form

a government will argentinians hand to the polls today in a run of elections, heating, economy ministers sitting on my side against the far right candidate, heavier and the way the vote comes in mid argentina, is worst economic crisis into decades with triple digit inflation and rising poverty. malay has a slight edge in early polling. he's promised to shake up the economy to fix the countries was including replacing the peso within us dollar as the country's currency and slashing government spending. fear of painful reforms is driving the need to support legacy candidates, sergio mazda a w as a latin america correspondence nicole reese is now in berlin. and she's here with me in the studio to tell us more about the argentine in election. so get to see you . nicole, a rare visit to berlin. can you tell us a bit more about these 2 candidates one, and we can start perhaps with martha?

so what exactly is he promising voters to try and win them over? well, of course, winning them over means to tackle this economic crisis, argentina suffering and inflation above 140 percent. so that's the day to day struggle for us citizens right now, and also set up. so my thought is proposing measures to reduce that one of them being bringing in fresh dollars into the economy by boosting lithium projects, for example, or boosting the agricultural sector also for an energy sales to neighboring countries. he has also cut down the income tax and is functioned as economy administer. but it isn't clear that if he wins, but he can keep up with 5 exec point, for example, because or the tina is in very high that we're looking at. and he's $44000000000.00 with the international monetary fund. so they're on top of the list of the fund to choose to pay back their depths. they need to find a solution to pay the spec, the net income instead of so my site is the current economy minister. he has been in that position for over

a year and he has not avoided this high inflation. so that's overseeing very difficult thing to then present himself as a president to show cause candidate. and obviously he's still part of the political establishment that has been ruling the country for decades and decades and has not made the difference for people. so for many as they have failed them. and this gives leeway and wiggle room for candidates such as probably to me, they were quite different from the current political establishment, of course. yeah. so you say he's quite different. we know that have, emulate is a far right candidate. and he's been rather divisive. we can saying very controversial. why is that? well, he's very po rising with his opinion. see um, as a political new come on with a little experience, but he's making a lot of noise. one example we saw just a few weeks ago when he ran around with a change for in public, on one of his appearances saying that he will take down the system. this is his way of communicating. so he's very popular on social media as well because he has

a very good campaign. but at the same time, he has a very radical language. we will just quote him the pope. well, he called the pope and imbecile. this was the quote that's not me. that's him, he also isn't denial, found pete atrocities of argentina's dictatorship that didn't go down with part of the population, of course, and on the other. and he has very bold ideas. he wants to the dollar wise the economy and get rid of official so he can tackle the economy prices. it's very doubtful if this was actually going to work. he wants to cut down a ministry as he wants to privatize education and health. it's a public sector so that the country has been very proud of. and these are obviously very controversial opinions. but at the same time, at the moment, he can have a chance to win this presidency because some people are very tired of the political establishment that i mentioned before. i'm just looking for options and for a continuous way to, to see if a country gets out of this. but above all,

like he is sort of trump in or full so narrow like kind of that we've seen these types of candidates before. they can have success, it's just the moment that we know don't know exactly how it's going to turn out because the race is very tight. it's actually may apply to right now. and the call in light of all of these economic problems are voters hopeful that one of those candidates could solve these problems? i've just been to argentina a few weeks ago and it's ronda, like, the sensation is like people just don't wanted to get worse. that's the most important point for them, whether it's going to be a radical change or same thing, but different we will see. so definitely the color res. thank you so much for all of your insight of the and quickly some sports news for you now. australia have won the cricket world cost coasting to a 6 week of victory over tournament toast. india. glen maxwell hit the winning runs for australia as they easily chase down their target of 241 silencing nearly
