the the is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin. israel's government votes in favor of a host, a steel with some us. the deal includes a ford, a troops during which from us will release 50 women and children being held in the gaza strip. it would be the 1st significant pause and fighting in more than 6 weeks . and north korea claims its 1st spice satellite as in orbit after a successful launch. state tvs celebrates the event and regional tensions or with

south korea. suspending part of the military agreement with the know the hello. i'm terry martin. welcome to the program. israel's government has approve to deal with some us to release some of the hostages held by the palestinian militant group in the gaza strip. under the agreement from us is set to free 50 of the hostages. it took in the october 7th terrorist attack on israel and exchange for around $150.00 palestinian prisoners held in israel will be set free. also as part of the deal, there will be a pause in fighting between is ryland hom, us for 4 days. in the statement before the cabinet meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who stressed the pause in the funding, does not mean the end of the war with him, us, us. and that's who we are at war. and we will continue the war. we will continue

the war until we achieve all our objectives. eliminate him us raton, although abduct t's and missing persons, and ensure that they will be no element in gaza that threatens israel know your single m chanel. you have any sleep. let's get more now from our correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem. rebecca tell us more about the agreement. well, is riley is waking up to this very welcome news this morning. terry that this deal has finally bade agreed upon that was agreed upon in the very early hours of this morning. as you mentioned, it's for 50 hostages to be released of that 50 hostages. we believe it to be 30 children, 12 mothers, and 8 of the women. the priority will be on the elderly and in from now that's in exchanges. as you're saying for around about 4 days of humanitarian ceasefire, that's to include the stuffing of the bombardments at normal on the ground fighting

just for those few days. and of course, a stuff in surveillance drawings as well to be fine, all over the gauze and strip, particularly in the south, but also in the north. that'll be a pause in savannah. it's for around about 6 hours a day withheld. now the other part of the exchange was the release of $3.00 to $1.00 hostages. so it's 3 palestinian prisoners in his riley prisons full every one hosted. so he's looking at around about a $150.00 also on the women and children coming from that at that deal. and now the part of the deal and a crucial pot for all the people living in gauze, or is of course, the allows during that humanitarian pause for hundreds of a trucks to be taken in holding fuel medical supplies, food much needed for the citizens who are struggling in gauze or in the di humanitarian conditions. so what's the timeline here, rebecca? is it clear when the 1st hostages will be released?

or we're hearing that the hostage releases will start to begin on thursday. now it's thought that around $12.00 to $13.00 hostages will be re released per day of say fine to make comp for the 50. and that will start we're hearing on thursday now that's to allow for time to coordinate this incredibly complicated process as you can imagine. but also to allow for the list of palestinian prisoners to be published once they published a is randy's other organizations or individuals that have the right to contest of the names that will be on that list in the high court. and so there's a 24 hour legal process before the hostages will be released. we believe the cessation and hostilities will begin. so we're hearing 3 sources once the 1st child has been released. so we're looking at thursday, but an exact timeline still in the making. we know that also these humanitarian pauses could be extended if they were to be so the release of hostages. so we're

looking at a number of 50 at the moment. but that the days of truce will also allow from us to uh, to, to, to work out with or other hostages. we know that around about 30 hostages and not being held by how mazda are actually being held by the palestinian factions. and so the thought is that how most might be able to work out with a a and then potentially a release more and we're hearing that for every so the 10 hostages that may be released off of the 4 days, we'll see another day of true. so we could even see this period, this 1st period of this session and hostilities even extended slightly further and more hostages released. well, this is quite a breakthrough. how are, is really, is reacting to the news of this deal. rebecca, as well as undoubtedly welcome news. uh, you know, people waking up this morning will be very, very relieved, particularly the families of the people in gauze are many of whom have been out

protesting that has been out in march. is they've been really trying to drum up attention this hostage crisis has taken the country by surprise. by here they come to terms with what's happening. they, you know, there's anger, this resentment, this sadness fee. and that is something that obviously the government says that it's been a priority to try and release, get the hostages released, but the families at least saying that they don't feel that the government has been taking it seriously enough. so there's going to be a huge sigh of relief. anyone that wasn't up all night watching the twisting tons of this process. they will be waking out very relieved. of course, it is slightly contentious to deal. there are some people who say that we know that nothing should be given to come off at the station and hostilities, letting me benefit the organization of the group. but, you know, i think for the on the humanitarian side, mazda is riley, is going to be extraordinarily relieved to say, the news this morning. now i understand that the,

some of benjamin nothing. yeah. who's called us and government. so some members of us government did not support the hostage release deal. can you tell us why us? uh yeah, we believe that 3 members of the cabinet, the of the governing coalition didn't vote in favor of this hostage to you. and they were from the else, may you who to pony the jewish power potty. the a, the security minister been v or is the leader of that party and they are very upset and, and, and good. they think that the sis ation hostilities in particular is just giving into her mouth and will allow them to re group and to be able to further continue their attacks on his riley troops and be able to bolster their if it's in this will . they also, you know, they say that this is really playing into the hands of her mouth and they have been really storage in their objections to this deal. all the people who will wavering, all the members of the cabinet who are wavering, were swayed over when the organizations,

oil of areas like the shouldn't bet the internal security and the most that they said that they are, they think this is a good deal and they think it's the right thing to do, then all the people who were against the deal did come over and vote in favor for it. but you are saying that it is slightly contentious. so in the end of vast majority did vote in favor for the steel. rebecca, thank you very much. those are correspond to rebecca renters in jerusalem. well, is really survivors of how mazda is october, 7 terrorist attack continue to deal with the trauma of that day to help them and is really run wellness retreat on cyprus is offering to offering a pre stage 2 survivors of the attack names to help them come to terms with what's happened that day, our correspondent jack perfect, visited the resort and send us this report of these young survivors of the how much terror attack on the nova festival in israel. a working through that full met with specialists. 50 of them arrived here at the secret forest results. impactful,

and especially from the, our friends, mysterious people. and that we know here in cyprus, we see across the board for support. while it might not seem like much the quiet space that cypress is providing these tire attack, survivors is an important step in helping them piece backs that lives. but rest bites because is traumatized civilians is not yet. insight is israel is more on how much continues. let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines today, south africa's presidency around propose a has accused as real of war crimes and acts tantamount to genocide. the comments came at a virtual summit of the non line brooks group of nations. the countries parliament later voted to close its embassy and israel and suspend diplomatic ties until a ceasefire is reached in casa firefighters in bolivia are battling to control wild fires in the countries north. bolivia as defense ministers that on monday that the fires have consumed more than 3000000 hectares of forest and grass land. cruise

release. these images of leader kim jong on overseeing the launch areas. so south korea has responded by suspending part of the military packed with sean yang. both us and south, pre and officials say they cannot verify whether the launch was a success of our course, thought of james chesko just following the story for us and type page james, 2 previous attempt spine or 3 launch respond satellite failed. what do we actually know about this launch? well, as he mentioned is really important to point out in the 1st instance that countries around the world. a still trying to verify on young's claims, that is where you've been able to put this ministry satellites in. so we 1st got wind of this loan slates on tuesday. any stage of here with chris saying that the soft light instead or with a few minutes later if it has it comes following to filed launches all of this here

which killing young, blamed on technical issues. so believe this time the satellite business broke, it was kind of reconnaissance, that's the lights and pots and there. okay. but while i launched and had fallen into the east trying to see where as another pods flushed down in the pacific author traveling in japan, southwest prefecture of okay, now, which led to a long as being sense of across the jumping these items. so you really get a sense of how the region gets pulled into some of the, the, the come kind of complexity of these. and i'll try and stop by launches. assuming this satellite launch was successful. what full north korea presumably do with it's i in this gone to? absolutely well, this is something that north korea has been working on for you. is this attempted 7 satellite launches since 1998. the last successful one was in 2016, but this is really focusing on the military. do i mention of these of these um kind of technologies and equipment. chunks of these needs legitimate actions for self

defense and says that the necessary to was one who was admitted enemy military activity need north korea on the day that this satellite launch took place. we had a us across carrier arriving in south korea. and the us nuclear power, the summer reading, arriving to today, you know, one of the biggest points of contention here is extensive. russian influence and involvement. there has been a growing relationship between these 2 countries, including us allegations in north crew has been supplying most go with weapons for its warn you credit and something that both the countries the night. but with the satellite, south korea says the most in may of health chung or become some of the technical difficulties associated with the satellite. launch some experts judging course and then saying it might still be too early from from young's integrate any of that recent re send russian assistance into this. one's james, thank you very much. that was the w. james trade here in taipei, voters in the netherlands, go to the polls today to elect

a new parliament. the election was triggered last summer when outgoing prime minister mark ruth, is government collapse. i mean disagreement over asylum policies, 3 major party groupings are battling to propose a government in their neck and neck in the polls in the netherlands is set for major change at the top. after this wednesday's elections. the country will have a new leader for the 1st time in 13 years. pulse are still too close to call on who will take on the road, and voters have a long list of issues they want to see tackled. i think for me, climate change in the housing, there's a housing crisis in the and then well animal welfare. it's also very important, of course, climate and migration health care um morales to education and schools can of course me, grace and migration the front or on us

a deal on user goose than you need of outgoing prime minister my uncle with his party. and peter on take, who lounged his new centrist party only this summer, as center less block of the labor party and to be left let by form i you climb and commission of funds to moments is currently 3rd in the pause. this, none of these parties likely to be more than 20 percent of the road candidates are already considering their options for forming no call list 2 out of these 3 parties on safety or party. and if you, the from pot, former prime minister rather, are really keyed on forming a right wing coalition. so irrespective of who wednesday selections, we're looking to be heading towards the rights the make up of the next government could also have consequences. outside benevolence says the longer if the midlands in dates gets a right wing coalition with peter on 6th party and former prime minister at the cvb,

this will likely mean that the government will be a slightly more euro skeptic that before we'll try to push for more freedom to cap immigration in europe and also that this government will probably be very much on the side of israel and the current conflicts. but for most voters, it's issues closer to home that are helping the agenda. the netherlands is facing a serious housing shortage and the cost of living crisis as well as a device $50.00 bait over migration. extensive coalition talks are set to follow wednesdays election. the actual therefore have to wait a bit longer for new vent to bill. now to russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine, a year after ukrainian troops liberated the southern city of coast song from russian occupation shelling and miss of a touch remain a constant of daily life. the crane has been able to advance further into russian

hill territory in recent days. but saw him is barely a kilometer from the front line. dw, special correspondent, much tundra, visited the city to talk to residents about how they are dealing with the unrelenting threat is year after liberation. capstone is still a dangerous place to be. so 3 people were traveling in this car when it was heard earlier today by russian shelling from what we know. the driver was instantly killed a 2 month old baby received an injury to the head and the mother was seriously wounded. she had to be brought to a hospital and is currently fighting for her life. this is the baby girl in the arms of a ukrainian police officer being rushed to hospital the year after russian forces retreated. much of the city is still a war zone. and medical facilities like this maternity

hospital remain in harm's way. medical director oaks on a time shingle shows us what the russians have done since leaving and they didn't go very far of the from the roof. we can see the left bank of the river from where russian troops continued to attack the city. be jessica by 2 glibly, whoops, dealer during the occupation. what else did you as showed which you see, it was points shedding, aimed at where the russian ministry was stationed, received to the school district as well directed since the deal to patient, the russian history, wherever they want to play dates. in the year before the war, 1200 children were born here. now it looks on a thumb jenko says they have about the 10th of that silly be which when it breaks my heart that we have so few bad. oh yeah. i understand that safe as

a women to be elsewhere but that so job with some sort of book that you read that plans to have her baby here despite the risk. no, there's no charge of what the dock lock stands. shooting shells comes of the flying and it makes you that every no there's no, there's you fall asleep and you don't know whether you will wake up. i'm not you to be honest. jessica. she already has 2 daughters, one born before the war. the other during occupation, she doesn't want to give up on the future for the family here. yep. show way. so you want us terrence to show our children by our example, that we need to believe in the best. we need to strive for something in our lives. the tell us, but i didn't do it so much at sea. but it's been a hard of getting that tells us her husband was taken prisoner during the occupation and that she says,

their neighbor is supposed friend be trade them to the russians. this kind of betrayal has caused social traumas that we need healing in this city. will not be chosen by to which during the occupation some of our employees were sure i will quite now that russia is here for as a they were sure of it for see, and even speak. hoping the about the, to the occupation has left a complicated legacy for those who remain. stop this great, they're very open collaborate. this shows you open nice and push it, then no one will forgive them bring up if they change tradition at so i'll let those who had to adapt. we do not call them collaborators. so that is different or critical about one of the budget one year later trauma run, steven has some states and with the russians on its doorstep,

the dangers far from over leave. the shelling begins with a spring in dw corresponding economy here in kit nick r ukrainians. confident that things are going to get better in this more or have they resign themselves to the current status quote. well certainly if you look at the last 6 months, the counter offensive hasn't be able to make the progress that it was expected at least internationally. think of the hopes have been very high off to what your credit was able to do last autumn. and we've seen that the russians have dug in along most of the 1000, close long front line with mine fields and trenches that are basically impossible to cross without serious losses to the adult sink side, especially except song, but was liberated by ukraine forces last november. has actually seen the reduction

in population now in the about 30 to 40000 people believe to still live, to compare to about 300000 before the war. and those attacks all relentless. i was just looking at the local news from castle and the local governor was saying that there had been around a 120 attacks of various kinds, either slide problems or to the way over the last 24 hours in the sense on regions . a lot of that in the city, you see people dying at bus stops, people just at home. people going to shops where this is not a safe place to be, because it is so close to the russian author, physicians on the other side of the v for a river. having said that, i think the capstone, that reason is basically the only kind of bright spot for the crane. you know me right now, it is the only section of the front line where the russians haven't had a chance to dig in and build those fortifications. and we have in recent days, been getting reports that so especially ukrainian special forces have been established if you breach heads on the other side of the river on the east bank. and this real kind of worry. and in some parts, kind of his theory,

even among the russian that you build is that this could be the place where ukraine pushes fluids. obviously it's very, very difficult sending small groups of troops on the motorized boats across the river without a bridge without kind of heavy at tech on their side. but certainly there is a sense that someone could soon maybe be less on the attack. few author attacks because the russians would be just that much further. you cry and of course is heavily dependent on uh, on supplies of weaponry from its allies. what are you cranes, leaders say about the level of support that they're currently getting from those allies in this morning? i think the picture all through this war has been at least seen from key to little to lights. promises would fill it out to you, but then a failure to actually realize on those promises. and there is certainly a lot of worry here about that. so let's go and search and see in the us of funding for ukraine. no longer being the kind of bike pot side issue that it was. now news

from germany about the german budgets and worries that show me might be saving on any of the expenses not seen that's totally necessary. having said that, there's always a huge lag between the kind of political decision making and the deliveries the front line. so for now, your credit is actually still getting a lot of supplies that were promised some time ago. it's recently drawn basically, even in terms of ought to the results with russia. it has fewer of them, but they're more precise. and then we have the, some of these defense, mr. victorious in town yesterday. a promising more at defense systems, if not the kind of long range am, solves that you can just be also give them your loan. so certainly a real kind of reversal if you think back to the beginning of the war with germany we're seeing is one of the most reluctant countries to supply weapons. germany now off the us, the, the 2nd biggest supplier weapons ukraine. you mentioned the german defense ministers visit there yesterday. nick, we just saw some pictures of him there a moment ago. we also had european council present, showing michelle in cuba yesterday as well. meeting with you cranes present

blemishes on wednesday. uh, top floor about those visits so this was partly just to show solidarity to prove to your credit and that they have a form of the agenda since world attention shifted to gaza was also connected to the 10th anniversary of those might on purchase the war about ukrainians, demanding closer ties to your back then e membership seemed pretty much unreal. kind of long distance kind of hope that now is drawing closer. he did those say so many shows that it was enough to him to stop those negotiations that ukrainians would basically have to convince old twins 7 member states in victo bonds. we know is threatening a veto. so difficult times, but certainly that is a timeline and there's a real hosting ukraine could use to come to california. you remember big thank you very much for your reporting. that was our correspondent, nick connelly there in key. you're watching the news. just remind you of the top story we're following for you

. israel's government has approved a hostage deal with some us. the militant group has agreed to release 50 women and children that it's holding in gaza during the 4 day truce is really set to release the scores of palestinian women and children from its presence. it's really government is also offered to extend a cease the seatbar by one day for every 10 additional hostages released by how much a so you're watching the the, the news i'm terry martin. thanks for being with the
