the the, this is the, the, the news coming to lie from berlin. the agonizing wave continues as a much anticipated hostage deal is delayed. israel says it doesn't expect any host just to be released before friday. dashing hopes of relatives that some would be freed earlier will bring you the latest. and 10, agreed temporary truce between israel and homos has also been delayed, is expected to go ahead. once details on the hostage transfer are settled and german police raid properties in several states connected to him. mazda and other palestinian organizations banned in the country.

the hello. i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. israel says it's not expecting any hostages to be released by him us before friday. the country's national security advisor said a deal with the militant group has been delayed, although the reason why remains unclear and agreed pause and fighting and gauze is also on hold with cotter who has played a key role in these negotiations, saying an announcement about the temporary truce could come within the next few hours. here's the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, or they still have to have solving. i just spoke with prices and binding. again. would that be a good time to where i can get my requests with the brokers to achieve a significant improvement of the deal on a date such an improvement was a chief to handle. so the combination of amenities and some other typical effort

provided the conditions for the return of our, of the summer, even though so i believe this combination will also allow the release of additional laptop to use in future stages of female female female by a special correspondent an abraham in jerusalem has more on why the truce and hostage released deal had been delayed. well, it seems that it has to do with logistical issues. a white house spokes person has said that the final details are still being worked out. and we don't have any sort of confirmed further explanation as to why this delay important to know that while this delay is disappointing, it's not completely unexpected. officials have been saying since the beginning of the negotiations of this deal, that this kind of thing is done only when it's done just because there are so many moving parts to a deal like this. and so in the grand scheme of things, of the deal actually ends up being successful, we implemented this should be

a minor delay. and remember, even if and once the deal hopefully starts being implemented, there could still be bumps along the road a then we're not expecting all of the hostages to be released at once. they are indeed expected to be released in batches contingent with a 4 day a ceasefire. and it could happen that one or both parties for whatever reason violates betsy's fired. and so we can expect also that this is not going to be a 100 percent smoke. how important is this deal a, a for both the is really government and calm us are hugely important for these really government that has been coming under increased pressure and has been indeed the subject of growing angry at the perceived lack of actions to bring back the hostages since they were taken on october 7th by

terrorist. and there's also a sense that the prime minister himself is sort of, was coming under pressure to, to, to do something to bring back the hostages for him as this is, you know, as a, as, as a militant fighting group on the ground, a truce gives them perhaps the time to regroup, which is actually one of the criticisms of this deal coming from a very vocal right wing minority within the government for a post of the deal. seeing that it actually plays into how masses advantage, because it gives them time to regroup. there's also the people in gaza who stand to benefit from the ceasefire as the ceasefire. also means that uh, you know, hundreds of trucks of aid will be coming into the strip that this is much needed after, you know, more than 40 days of near constant bombardment. that was the w as special correspond at abraham speaking to me earlier from jerusalem. well, for more,

let's bring in us here to mon, director of the middle east and north africa program at the international crisis group of thanks for being with us us. this cease fire agreement has been weeks in the making walk us through what you know about this. how this tentative deal was struck a good morning, terry. yes. the deal, the most discussed to be almost from the beginning after it's over 7. was the king clear? that's how most of the groups are taken is really most of just culture which hosts the political bureau from us and don't have immunity presented itself as, as a negotiate as a mediator. i'm sorry, between how mass and israel egypt has also taken on that role the neighboring states to pass a strip of votes, but there were many problems along the way. one of them was that's a one point. it was a deal that was almost in case you go,

shaded by the most out. this is brittany i and no huh. uh with, with the other side and uh, and then a department. just an agent. yeah. who decided to launch the launch of invasion and that was a, that's the old tune. and so now we are, we are many weeks later into the apartment of kaiser and there is no talking get off the deal. i think, as your correspondence, frankly pointed out, the prime minister has come under huge pressure mounting pressure from the families of the us, which is a to come to a deal it's implemented and he's going to do it. i think it's clear we face on procedural harold hurdles, but nothing when to just go hurdles with nothing. politically serious. from the palestinian side, the situation is is be all desperate. we've seen now in the last 24 hours. the investigation of the is many compartments in the southern gaza strip,

where most people have fled with at least a 100 people killed just over the last 24 hours. so the situation is, is really terrible, mtv or the for it cause that into the age to come in and for people to find maybe somehow a safe place to go to the frontier. there is no such thing. so the outlines of the deal, we have those and it suggests that 50 prisoners are 50 hostages being held by him. us and gaza would be released in exchange for about a $150.00 palestinian prisoners being held in his really jails. what do, what do you know about those prisoners who might be released as part of this deal? i haven't seen the dentist and so i don't know exactly who's going to be included. but um, as well as, as how much is a thousands of understand you prisoners,

many who have the rest as in the sense. and so in many cases, according to the results of many who loved people, they just for a very minor offenses. and some for very major was having to do with the published any struggle against the military. especially because as you know, students have been under military application for the last 56 years and are rejecting it so, but it can be so, so are we going to be raising servants? it can be a spacing and so hold. sure. so world control can be any number of things, and of course many of them are chosen meaning of 18 who have being arrest is along with many women. so i think this is the 1st batch down the line. the exchange were the release of his mind. hostages, there could be others. okay. us hits about from the international crisis group.

thank you very much for speaking with us today. thank you for the hostage release delay means the agonizing weight goes on for the families of those being held by him. us many have maintained constant pressure on benjamin as in yahoo's government to make sure that the release of the loved ones is a main priority. dw, been physical and reports from television for some relatives are holding a permanent visual this is become known as hostage square in downtown till it be a place of bread. and hope that this 1st partial hostage deal happens. i have all the and i don't have all the same a size because i don't trust come us. i don't trust as long as we get a few. i mean it's better than not. and this, that tiny setting to life,

some people coming back i think, is a huge signature of hope and is a huge game for us. but it's, it's horrifying that it's not everyone, women and children only as one of the young men captured alone has won't be coming home yet. his mother sent up this piano on the square. that music is part of his life. he's been playing for when he was 9 years old. what's that feeling like? having people down here every day, playing the piano for you. so it's amazing. it gives us a lot of hope. it's a hard time. it's not easy. a symbol of the agonizing wait. an empty banquet table for the $240.00 hostages in every part of the square, reminders of the struggle to get them old home. the message to from

the israel family. do we want them back? when the people big, soon as possible. i the welfare spiting is continuing in the gaza strip. israel's military says it's carried out ariel strikes on over $300.00 homeless targets in the past 24 hours. these the latest images of rough up in the south of the country, of the territory rather in the nearby con eunice rest years have been trying to pull people from under the rubble following a tax. late on wednesday. strikes were also reported in the north of the gaza strip from us appointed officials, se scores of civilians have been killed. 8 organizations, of course, are waiting for the green light to deliver much needed aid and supplies into garza . i us a be around a spokesperson for the new wage and refugee council. how much

a can be delivered once the temporary truce gets under way a good morning, terry. um, not much. the answer is, um, we have been even, you know, doing these, you know, as we speak, we onto the ice on the ground, have a very limited in, in our capacity in our ability to, to move around shelters. we do manage 3 sides where we have hundreds of people who have taken shots that we providing hot meals and you know, some more stuff for people and some cash assistance for people. this is a fraction of what we can really do if we have the right conditions during these for, you know, 4 days. i mean, this is, this is also very little time for us. just to give you an example. we have 10 trucks as a to our way to, to be to the present, to gaza for days is not enough. given the administration given to the logistics. we were given this training that, you know, the guy has to go through. it's a long process. it has to drive, you know,

a bunch of the fortune has to travel over a 100 kilometers before it can make its way into garza. this is very easy to find for everyone. this is why we are saying full days is you know, oppose. this is nowhere near enough. we need to long sustain ceasefire. so our teams on the grounds, 50 of them all at the no region worth the chief council, can go outside deliverance and provide much needed a to talk to us more about delivering that aid. cuz uh, we can get maybe a 100, a few 100 trucks into gaza during this. uh, pause in the funding, but it has to be distributed. what's your plan for distributing the aid? the does get into got some yes. as of now, we do rely on the johnson market because we haven't managed to bring in any trucks for the reasons of, of just get in. there has been very complicated on that. i'm, you know, at the very low volume of trucks of types that she'll meet has been able to pass through what we need on the ground. what we plan to do is to deliver some hopes

meals, to deliver shelter, support for people in shots as blankets, mattresses, pillows for hundreds who have you know, less of homes with nothing on them. a few, i mean drinking water as well is a big challenge. we can't do this without the fuel, without, without the guarantees that are uh, you know, all right, well, cuz uh, we'll be able to operate safely. not just of course, everyone else. i think the needs on the, on the ground are so much. so if you're talking about, they have a warrant due to us, you know, who are waiting for treatments or surgeries. you're talking about children who are traumatized by this. what we are saying, don't get these children's safety. so you only take it away from them in a few days. keep it safe and keep the ceasefire going. that was up at bay ram, a spokesperson for the norwegian refugee council talking to a short while ago. now this breaking news coming out of germany here,

a security forces have conducted raids on several properties connected to hum us and the international network. semi do a pro posted in group. the interior ministry says raids have taken place in several german states. a mouse is designated a terrorist group by germany, the you and others will. for more of this, i'm joined now by our political correspond, matthew, more about what can you tell us about these raids in germany? of the more than 300 police officers were involved in rage on 15 properties this morning's harry. most of them here in the capital, berlin and some in 3 other states. and the focus of the operation interior ministry says, is what it calls the as list c, homes and offices were searched, the renewal arrest that we knew all of at the moment. and this was specifically targeting supporters or suspected support as a members of hamas and as much network somebody doing. and those these groups were

banned by germany in his thoughts of this month. and this was an operation that was enforcing that fun authorities attempting to confiscate assets, getting a clear picture on the structure of these groups and the, the interior ministry at the interior minister this morning and a statement she said that is miss an anti semite should not feel safe anywhere here in germany. and just to give you some context, terry, the domestic intelligence agency here in germany reckons that are around 450, some us members in germany. so they don't, they don't believe that they're involved in violence, but the understanding is that these people are involved in financing, fundraising, supporting essentially influencing the public debate here in germany. and for background, the somebody didn't published an in network the, some of the average network is a group that poll gemini, frankly, when it celebrates with it. for 7, tara tax handling are called the streets of valid. so essentially the,

this is showing a 0 tolerance for groups that glorified tara, which is a criminal offense here in germany. and all comes after a series of rates last week across the country. um essentially that the government is is coming out on broad cracked stone on on to send that to groups on organizations which it says on site and hate for it against is will matthews, thank you very much for fillings in there. that was our correspond, matthew moore. so you're watching dw news still become still it wants to close all the one of his border crossings with russia. it blames moscow for sending a surge of asylum seekers westward. it's coming up in just a minute. first, let's take a look at the few other stories making headlines around the world today. in northern india, an operation to free 41 construction workers trapped inside eclipse tunnel has reached its final stage. rescuers are drilling to reach the group that are being hindered by a metal object in the debris. the workers have been stuck for almost 2 weeks.

mexico's national guard has arrested and alleged drug cartel leader wanted by the united states. and the store is either a pet is silence or meaning is the alleged security chief of a wing of the seen a low a drug hotel is accused of protecting the sons of in prison drug lord, while he l. chapel guzman and also helped in their drug business. which wires have destroyed several homes in western australia. authorities have issued emergency alerts for residents in and around the city of pers, hundreds of homes are without power. officials, any high temperatures and winds have been fanning the flames the far right and it is low and populous. good will. this is on course to win. the dutch general election builders has campaigned for a band on the qur'an, mosques and head scarves, is also n t u, and wants

a boat on whether the netherlands should leave the block. despite the predicted. when it's not clear, if you'll be able to find coalition partners willing to form a government this still finland says it will close all but one of its border crossings with russia due to a surgeon asylum seekers. the decision comes after it's shot several other border crossings last week. he'll think he is accusing moscow funnelling people to it's borders. russia has denied that claim database. terry schultz has more a desperate humans. one of the hybrid warfare weapons moscow frequently uses to try to intimidate its neighbors. this time the deployment of hundreds of been adequately dressed asylum seekers in finland has prompted the government to close border crossings with russia. that's on a well at least stuff, even though the numbers have not been so significant on their own scene and wants to send a clear message. so if this is not acceptable,

i'm not going meet those. how it's on my face. official say the latest arrivals at mitigating russian assistance utilizes yours. upon late, the root is that be flying on are flown to most go with the get help the probably for a few months it actually was done. this reversed as longstanding cooperation in which russian border officials would prevent people without visas from going further. now that reported leave driving the groups of mostly young men to the border area, giving them bicycles. although crossing by both bike and foot or band. and in some cases, even physically pushing people across the border, if they show reluctance, the russian government calls such that gives ations groundless and then lives border restrictions absurd. you, what should we hope? the common sense will prevail in housing, kids, and they will abandon destructive ideas like the total closure of the border. going to grand usa, helsinki has asked for backup of 60 officers from the european union's border

control agency, front tax to russia. we say we will not let you divide us to finland. we say your opinion union is behind you. under international law, finland must keep open at least one land route for asylum seekers to lodge applications. when the government close to the 4 crossings in southern finland, it kept 2 more open to facilitate this process, but worn more counter measures may be taken. the situation could soon become more difficult both practically, and politically. even if the number of arrived it doesn't escalate dramatically, the temperature is dropping. is rushing deed stops to send people. let's say elderly people got sick people, people who are in bad shape in these weather conditions who could potentially even die if that would be the case. that's toxic politically on the finish side, and that's going to be a test for resilience. but opening the gates would also be dangerous, but also send the signal that that'd be on the day. we can be pressured to do

a rush or once by the end of this interview, henry von, and then was getting news alerts that asylum seekers in poor physical condition were indeed turning up at the border. a dilemma for the finish government made no less precarious. just because it was predictable and are you correspond to terry schultz or fire the filed report joins us now. terry, and give us a sense of the scale of the problem that finland is facing on his border with russia as well. terry is not that the numbers are so incredibly high, as we've seen, for example, in the mediterranean. but they are high for finland, for example, in november already, they've received some 700 people. and this is up from receiving 0 people at the border in the early part of this year. so they can definitely see that the trend is changing and they want to send a crystal clear message to moscow right now that they will not stand for it. then,

you know, there were arguments within the government to shut all the border crossings. the prime minister wanted to do so, but a justice official informed them about this rule that a land border had to remain open for asylum applications. and that's why now they've moved the only processing point to the northern most border station that's more than a 1000 kilometers north of helsinki. so they're hoping that this will make it so difficult for this. this organize the train of asylum seekers to reach that the numbers will drop now it's getting fixed really cold. there of course on finland's eastern border what sort of conditions or migrants facing the air from a humanitarian perspective. terry, it's it's, it's already very cold up there. you can see in those pictures, but there's plenty of snow on the ground and these people are arriving. i'm not well clad for this kind of weather. and, you know, on the russian side of the border, they say that they were already hundreds of people in these northern most points waiting to cross. and the governor end in the murmansk region is,

is writing himself on his telegram account that his, his region can't deal with it. and they're calling in for the resources to deal with the people that are waiting on the russian side of the border. and he's shown pictures of them waiting intense. so clearly there is the potential for humanitarian difficulties there in that, as henry von haven't explained, is going to put pressure on the spanish government, not to just leave people there under these conditions on the russian side of the border finish authorities accused russia of instrumental lising migrants and using them as part of its hybrid warfare against finland. what do you mean by that? terry cylinder is well experienced in, in russian tactics. i'm all kinds of them. and they call this a hybrid warfare tactic that, that russia simply tries to be stabilized society by whatever means possible. now that finland is a member of nato. of course, military threats don't carry as much weight as they might have one. finland had to

stand on its own, but this is one thing that really does get under the sins skin. the migration is a very sensitive issue in finland. it's not particularly open to people coming in. and so now there is the worry that this could divide society between the people who want to let these people in and want to get them sort of out of the clutches of these russian russian migrant dealers. and those who say absolutely not, we cannot let them in because that would be sending rush a signal that, that they can have their way with us. so there is the concern that this will ignite to a societal divide. it hasn't been seen yet, but these are this concerns, and this is of course, the russian name. terry, thank you very much. uh that was the w. terry schultz and brussels. finally, thanksgiving came early for 2 lemurs at a zoo in the us state of illinois. when they were treated to pansy, faced for the national holiday for a friends delighted visitors by perching on

a dinner table to nibble on a variety of vegetarian snacks, including popcorn jelly beans and sweet potato pie. all washed down with cups of apple sauce. apple juice this uh, this your box, the 10th anniversary of the fields is annual lemur thanksgiving tradition. slip like apples, however, or pumpkin pie to me. anyway, you're watching dw news. here's a reminder of our top story. this, our israel says it's not expecting any hostages to be released by a mouse until friday at the early is the country's national security advisor said to deal with the militant group has been delayed, although the reason why it's still unclear and agree. pausing, funding is also on hold and security forces in germany have conducted raids on several properties connected to him, us and the international network, semi do a pro palestinian group. the interior ministry says rates are taking place in

several states of text conflict zone with tim sebastian interviewing the lithuanian prime minister inquiry the same on the ship. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching the

into the complex with sim sebastian fix not getting the headlines these days, but the warning ukraine has lost none of its intensity. finally, a few ideas. capitol hill? yes. my guess is the prime minister as the more goes on, how much space does she have in nature plans for defending the voltage space conflict next, on dw,

racing catch up. taking the competition and meet the global front runners. it's a hot race and the economic transition to e mobility you guys in the league where the problem lies in which your vision has already become a reality. made into the listening place of the mediterranean explosives, connex, people of many cultures. and most of us and jeff far abdul karim to us during motor styles and committed to

a name where you left this trees. amazing people cheering the 3 week dw, the it's not good in the headlines these days, but the war a new crime has lost. none of it's in terms of dates with both sides anxious to make games before the winter impedes the movements on the battlefield from the if you right and your capital vilnius, my guess is the prime minister in good that she money say one. 7 thing just most to show is that the country stay committed to providing the brain with what kinds of needs the financial funds with needs, with everything needs the when the world, how's the little goes on? how much grace does she have in major plans for defending the baltic states? what about human rights and accusations with a.
