after almost 2 months of agony, there's finally a glimmer of hope for the families of the roughly $240.00 hostages. held by almost all signs involved in the negotiations have now expressed confidence in a deal to free part of them being within reach. according to various sources, the agreement would call for the release of dozens of women and children, abducted from israel in exchange for a temporary cease fire set to last. at least 4 days. several palestinian prisoners in israel would be freed for each hostage, abducted on october 7th. if the deal comes to fruition, it would be the biggest diplomatic breakthrough in the war so far. but at this point, i could still all fall apart on nickel for lucian, berlin, and this is the day the

3rd time on the return of the hostages, we are making progress. we are now with the closest point we ever have had been out and the aging and the payments are sad about every loss of life. but it feels like the world is not screening hard enough for these innocent civilians that are being held hostage without any of the mistake that very helpful. i hope that will be good news soon. also coming out of the drama surrounding tech firm open a. i continues as hundreds of employees threaten to quits after founder sam ultman is sacked, that microsoft has become the player. so it's insane. microsoft is that they're, they're holding all the keys. they are the dominant player and a i by far on the go fairly. you welcome to the day

israel and her last appear to be on the verge of an agreement to release some of the hostages held in gaza. on tuesday night, prime minister benjamin netanyahu summoned his word cabinets to address what he called developments in the matter of the release of our hostages. political leaders of the how most militant group, israel guitar, and the us all say, a deal is close. it stopped the agreement with the swap of palestinian prisoners being held in israel for a significant number of is really hostages taken by hamas on october 7th. a temporary truce of several days is also sent to be part of the deal. as is the movement of humanitarian aid into gaza, you as president joe biden told reporters that he too, is very helpful. the hostages will be free soon. let me know. as to my tv

show show we have now very, very close to the details to stuff we have were say. and despite the diplomatic advances to free part of the abduction, several families of is really hostages, have voiced the concern of the country's war cabinet, is not doing enough to bring their loved ones home. relatives meant with lawmakers to urge them not to pursue a legislation that would allow the death penalty for captured palestinian militants fearing that might expose the hostages to even greater dangerous relatives of hostages. protesting in tel aviv as israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu

summoned his war cabinet in mid growing signs that a deal to release hostages, taken by him us could be imminent. gotcha new. our 2nd goal is the return of the hostages. we're making progress. i don't think it's worth saying too much, not at even this moment, but i hope there will be good news soon. we are now with the closest point we have had been an engaging and an agreement. we are very of domestic. we have very helpful. but uh, we are also very keen to this mediation to, to succeed in the coaching, humanitarian, the tooth. the tentative deal could see the release of over 50 hostages. sources say the progress comes after some families accused sickness, its national security committee, and endangering the lives of their missing loved ones. now there's some optimism. i think the only thing that i can call just as soon as we get everyone back home.

but i do understand that it's difficult and i hope this data will help us bring everybody back home as well. and i really hopeful that they will come back soon. many here don't want to risk anything. now that a return of at least some of the captives could be just around the corner. we're joined now by bob kitchen. he's the international rescue committee is vice president for emergencies of the organization spokesperson on guys. i mr. kitchen, welcome to the day. what would a cease fire mean for the civilians and gaza? well, 1st and foremost, it would mean an end to the file and stuff is closed. and the occupied palestinian territories caused it to be the most deadly place on us of the last 6 weeks. the fullest most deadly justice for the whole. yeah, so 1st and foremost,

people to offer protection to civilians. then secondary would offer to monitor and organizations like the i see the option of being able to actually deliver aid to relieve suffering on the ground. but it's really urgent right now. mm hm. you have been calling for a meaningful humanitarian cease fire for weeks. is this it it's a good stop. as the finding, the violence has continued the, the impact on humanitarian conditions, the lives of people on the ground has gotten much, much worse. so as that's going on the, the links of the ceasefire has to get longer and longer. and we're at the point now where we need a permanency spot for the violence to be over just on the dying and to enable a to relieve some of the suffering. that's a big concern is for aid to be delivered to gaza and then falling into the hands of hum us how can not be avoided and,

and procure help for innocent civilians without them from us seizing the goods that are being brought into into the strip a well organized ations, like the i see in the palm as we work with on the ground operating of a high risk environments, whether i'm on site on back does around us. we have sophisticated methods of delivering aid, registering clients to make sure we know who, where we're providing, assistance to and then following up to make sure that the does not die budget. so this is something that we, we do in northwest siri or in somalia in multi some major s a where we feel confident that we will be able to get paid to those that need it the most. at this point there is basically nothing that's not lacking in gaza is there, but what is most urgently needed now as far as your concerned?

well, surprisingly one of the most urgent things is actually fuel. there are that there's a trickle of a getting in across the board or from egypt, but it's being compromised because it's stuck. there's no fuel in gaza to enable the trucks that your shunting now they cross the border that have stopped because there's no fuel to enable on woods transportation. there's no fuel for generally just power hospitals. there's no fuel developing generators. the people require to to produce food. so one fundamental thing that we need to, to make a change on is that fuel be allowed in specifically for humanitarian purposes. that will empower switching lights back on the machines back on, and hospitals get food flowing again and get paid into the hands of those people most desperately named. now that you mentioned the hospitals, the w h o says critical trauma care is not possible in any of guys

hospital right now. is there any way of fixing a collapse system within a couple of days? we're looking at 4 or 5 days of these fire right now as well, that goes back to my initial answer. the 4 or 5 days isn't sufficient, given the level of destruction that humans are in need that we're facing. but we can make progress if we can get fuel in. yes, we can get the hospitals back up and running. like switched back on machines, working surgeries, happening. we can get a pharmaceuticals anesthetics back into the hands of doctors. we can make a difference very rapidly, but 4 or 5 days is not enough to give them the scale of destruction, the scale of damage and, and suffering that we see on the ground. mm hm. so the ceasefire we're talking about is limited in scope. and this is not the end of the war, hardly the end of guys and supplied what needs to be done to alleviate the suffering of those caught in the middle of the findings with nowhere to go or

well, we've discussed getting 8 across 1st is i think opening additional border crossing, so not all that has to go in through egypt. that's difficult, but it's necessary to to provide basic supplies, food and water medicines, non food items. as the weather grows cold, the people need bone clubs again. so that's one thing. the 2nd is that we need people to have a space that is safe. so i mentioned earlier that dollar as a whole is the most dangerous place in the world right now. but if you just look at southern garza where it's supposedly safe, where people have been told to evacuate to that is the 2nd most deadly place in the world. so yes, this, these fires are new, showtime, we need to be pushing for it to become a long time. so people onto freight from boeing, full of bones falling from the sky. every night in your organization was,

was found that to help people survive, recover and rebuild the guidance. who's to revive this for? how can they begin to recover and can be ever rebuilt? and i certainly hope so. it's one of the most complex crises in the world. we're dealing with 2000000 civilians who have been displaced. 1.5 displays right now, but over the years, the suffering that the palestinians are faced is significant. and the pos towards peace is, is not open right now. member states around the well need to push forward this humanitarian cease fire resolution, be un to, to stop the fighting. and then that needs to be serious conversations about what's next. so both sides of the conflict and live in peace, but principally right now, no more lives. the last on the palestinian side that we can stop the process of

reopening hospitals and finding ways to get the people have been displaced back into the appropriate housing. therefore, the window has tons to cold, best things that we can do immediately the long time is gonna require some, some negotiations and commitment towards pace. who should be at the table? they're talking for the palestinian people, especially i think the lesson has been led to a number of times in complex, around the world that it takes everyone who takes representatives from the palestinians, from across the society, civil society, political actors. they're going to have to be around the table to represent the views of the, the 7000000 people across the occupied palestinian territories. gonna take everyone's voice being represented to me to move forward. do you think with the current leadership as it,

as it is in place and on both sides of the conflict that this is a realistic scenario? i'm a humanitarian. i'm focused on saving lives within the midst of war. i'm not a specialist on peace negotiations, but i, i fear at this stage the distrust is significant that the well is gonna have to come around and join hands with both parties to the conflict and, and help them forward towards base for the future. bob kitchen of the international rescue committee. thank you so much. 10 years ago today, ukrainians began mass protesting keys against closer ties with russia. it was a time of hope that became known as the revolution of dignity. decade on the struggle against russian attempts of subjugation continue. the cost of freedom has been immense, with russia's full scale invasion. approaching the 2 year mark,

germany's defense minister has paid a visit to keith to mark the occasion, an underlined berlin's continued support for you. keith central, my done square, is where you cranes pro european protests began 10 years ago. germany's defense minister book is historically as pages respects that to those who were killed during the ensuing violence. you get here on i've come here again firstly to pledge our support, unexpressed, us all a dire tea and the deep bowl. and i'm a ration for the braid, courageous battle that is involved such heavy losses. the protests that later became known as your own. my dad began here 10 years ago to the day. it's boxed by the refusal of ukraine's criminal and friend, the president, the vic, toyota cove age. to sign an association agreement with the european union. yeah, it'll go, which was eventually forced to resign, but not before sending in the special police units to break up. the protest can those killed have gone down in ukrainian history is by having the 100

a list when ukrainian students raise the european flag in november 2013 shots were fired. it was the 1st time god was built for european values. ukraine's president also paid homage to the memory of the protest, as they say there will give them 10 years ago. ukrainians began the 1st counter offensive against lawlessness and attempts to rob us of our european future ways. go my boat. after talks with his ukrainian count about bodies pistole, this unveiled a fear the aid package for keith as russia intensifies as strikes on its neighbour . meanwhile, the fighting between russian and ukrainian forces in ukraine continues. camp set on sunday that it had pushed back russian troops from the new pro river and the south . that's the 1st significant advance in month. russian forces, meanwhile, have been pounding the city of,

of div got in the east taking heavy losses by reportedly moving forward. today, russia occupies about one 6th of ukraine's territory, w as much as building a travel as to the front line in the east, where the ukrainian military is adapting and strategy to protect valuable artillery against russian drugs. feeding in the bushes somewhere, but more section of the front line since the ukraine mammal, artillery crew, one and a half years into the war, the tactics have changed initially. but it's a while before we're used to be very low miles. we would drive out to the position, shoot, then drive off, obtain new target service and drive to a different position. we now we do everything from a hidden position of each the thought as how it works. this is why the reason is sometimes of adding this jones

permanently hovering over the front lines artillery pieces of valuable target. so both sides, so incoming fire can be free rather than driving around and open roads artillery units. now try to hide their equipment . the cage of way, a mission office, some protection because the drones exploded against the mesh rather than the equipment this. so for pet how it so it has been in service for several decades. associate's name, the rest of the re, off to flowers. this 122, many me to repeat. this call is a coordination way more wisdom. artillery has had a huge impact on the front, the soviet era, how it says to pay your own home, what i'm looking to schedule. so how familiar with a bit of humor?

we can buy spare parts for this equipment at any car repair shop or used to the wisdom before, but if nato equipment gets out of order, we'll have to call the repair specialist for us to bring very special tools. finding some means to mind some of the crew of phase the coordinates of a target and quickly gets ready the after shooting. they need to leave the vehicle. every shot, fired from this position, increase the probability of being detected. yeah, that goes on there is the widespread assumption that they are idiots. so that is not at all the case and they also know how to fight this. they know what they're doing is nice on all the they evolve and learn. and so do we

move on the cages closed again and even from jones with the conversation, we experience next task that microsoft has become the player. so it's even saying microsoft is that they're, they're holding all the keys. they are the dominant player and a i by far. now that is a one take on the shifting balance of power in the world of artificial intelligence . now that one of the industries rising stars made a lightning transition. last friday. sam altman, was unexpectedly fired as the oh, of open a i the start up behind the popular chat, g p. p. chat bought the firing, sent shock waves through the industry. the board surprised decision sparked an uproar with significant push back from investors and staff. hundreds of open

a i employees have now threatened to resign. just hours after being sacked, altman announced plans to join microsoft to lead a new, a research team on the situation and open a continues to evolve rapidly with potential implications for the future. and the entire artificial intelligence industry. let's talk about all of that. with technology journalists to raise a locker, there is a huge chaos over the weekend, and things are not really showing signs of coming down. but 1st things 1st. why was sam ultimate fired? as we still don't know, the explanation of the board was an extremely compact message with which was also given to the staff of an open a i, which basically just said he wasn't being candid and the communications with the board so that they could not so satisfactory the make the decisions are um, elaborate on how the situation is going to play out. we don't know what exactly happened. and i think it came as

a surprise to most of service. mm hm. and it's and shock waves for the tech world. what could be the implications for open a i as a company, but also the sector as a whole? well i do think a kind of will mock the end of a very break neck speed of the development of the super promising apps like to keep the t or keep it to for that has been a bit of a cultural divide within the community as into should we accelerate this even more or should we take a more cautious approach to containing these maybe one day super overpowering systems. and just last week, at the developers conference of opening i so up on announced that they wanted to introduce a custom sort of app store with which you can as a developer,

builds your own g p t with basically 0 coding knowledge. that is, of course, a step more in the commercial direction and the question arises, will they ever be somebody who to moderate all of these new attributes? he's coming up. so i think with open a i basically non existent right now with all of these people's reckoning to leave, maybe they will rebuild it in microsoft. but microsoft, of course, is a monopoly is a very slow moving company and is also a regulated company which may make it look very different. yeah, we'll get to microsoft in a 2nd, but i want to talk about the, the person that is sam ottoman 1st hundreds of open a i employees have threatened to leave the company and response to his allister, why is, he's such a revered figure in the company and the industry well, he's very much, i'm a products person. he is

a person who spent his last. we're also just going around the world talking to media, talking to lawmakers about the dangers and also about the possibilities of a i. he is not out of touch with the dangers and the chances that this technology poses. and so i think he has a very much measured approach, but also a commercialized approach that also one him tons of invest the money. now ex 1st believe that microsoft will emerge as the big winner out of this term while, why? well i think for now such an adel um, already looks pretty smart for just having offer it basically everyone who is ready to leave open a i a home back if microsoft and you could also like see that reflected in the soaring of the stock price of microsoft in the long run,

we will probably see if open a i can reconfigure itself at microsoft in a way that's out. altman wanted to be because, you know, previously he was very much to being his own thing as a free thinker and built in with the, with the charity and the opening. i but, but i think in short term microsoft definitely is playing out to be the winner of like building a haven for some up on and of all of a supporters that open the i fascinating stuff that was to raise a locker. thank you so much. thank you to oh, very much. seems like this won't be the end of the open i journey for sam altman. he tweeted yesterday that it continues to be his top priority to ensure open a i continues to thrive and he may well have his come back. if his employees who today said that they would quits, if he did not return to open a,

i succeed in their request. that is our time. make sure to stay informed, stay engaged and stay in touch. you'll find us on social media. our handle there is at studio unions and if it's the latest headlines you're looking for, there's always our website that is of course the that we dot com for now though from the entire team here on the day. thank you so much for spending parts of your day by the
