with his thoughts and his truce. main hope is that this humanitarian truce will give us all the opportunity to look into the bigger task which used to implements a permanent truce by for you. but the chief long lasting piece that that you met with, you'd like to fix them in, in efforts are being made to extend the tools beyond the full day period, which is well insist it will resume its military operation in garza until it has arrived. a gated hum us in exchange for the initial hostages, the deal would see a $150.00 pounds. jennings freed from is rarely presence. there widely expected to be women and teenage boys. another 150 prisoners could be released in a 2nd exchange. here's what we know about the prisoners so far. as rails justice, ministry has identified the 300 post indian prisoners as slated for release. their names are compiled and a list that includes a $144.00 men aged 18 years old. a 123 miners and 33 girls and women with the

youngest prisoners age 14. the reasons for their detention very, but many have been jailed for offences including stone, throwing disturbing public order, touring 5 bonds, arson, and causing damage to property. an estimated 7 fighters in palestinian prisoners remain in jail up from about 5000 before october 7th. according to amnesty international, they are increasingly health and administrative detention. that's a form of incarceration without charge or trial. the policy and in 5 minutes there has also accused israel of mass arrests and preparation for the hostage deal more than 2000, but as seen as have been audited, this is very simple, is that right is preparing for an exchange of prisoners. and the other thing as many people as the gun, simply because the bidding for such a deal. the international humanitarian, a trucks in egypt awaits approval to head towards the roof of crossing with golf

out. in addition to essential is like food and water tankers will also be taking in few egypt side, 100 and factories. 1000 liters of diesel on for trucks of gas would be delivered daily. took also including $200.00 trucks of 8 that would boost the a deliveries that the u. n. and other agencies say are needed in the territory. hey, but tv is the country director for the n g. okay. or in the palestinian territories . she told us what the angle plans to do during this 4 days, east fire. and we are or the, the think with our beauty many day in organizations. and what we are going to do and focus on is related to a few minutes to have the dimensions when we ongoing to distribute hygiene, gets focused on providing edited, getting services for that, if you jeez, and shelters, and especially in the fall and continue distributing where the kids up nice for,

for the hospital, and of course, continue with them with the what we call in hygiene packets, distribution that are very, very much needed. and this, that has been said, it's not, it's not only that that is needed. people that are waiting today in the morning we old, we're waiting for the bar. but unfortunately, when it did not happen, i can send you what was the effect on people on my couldn't eat swinson screening us sending us messages that they, they really wished for, for at least one night of proper sleeping. that was have a tv country director fan geo care in ramallah. well, let's close overnight to our correspondent, tonya kramer, who's following a story for us in jerusalem. tanya, this is a huge moment that so many people have been waiting for. how are people in israel feeling now that the ceasefire appears to be imminent and that some of the is really hostages kept captive in gaza? could soon be finally returning home. but that's right. i mean,

is there any media talking about a very emotional day? of course we've seen also overnight, intensive is very shedding on garza with more casualties. debit also an air raid sirens up to the last moment. up to a 7 am here local time that was expected that you know the fighting intent to pause before this pause and fighting comes into plays and in these are people. uh no of course watching very close to whether this ceased by this temporary c. so i will hold. but of course, all eyes i know on the afternoon, this is when the 1st a hostages are expected to be released and we were told that should happen around 4 p. m. local time. that some of these of those 1st 13 hostages, are where no decides. last night, we were told that there is a lot of funeral caution as well because this is such a project of truth and such an unprecedented situation as well. i mean,

is various have seen prisoners works and hostage release as before, but not on the scale. and not involving children. these are the 1st hostages that are expected to be released this afternoon. and of course they are expecting as well that this continues in the, in the coming days up to 50 hostages should be released. but there are also mixed feelings because there are also many other hostages that really remain in garza and it's still unclear how this play out if and when the fighting will resume. so many people cautiously hopeful they are. what more can you tell us? but israel's agreement to release past indian prisoners in return for these hostages. well, as we heard um in the report before, i mean there is so it is where i released a list of 300 and palestinians that are held in is fairly prisons.

we understand that some of the names have been approved. we don't know exactly how many of them will be released today, but according to the agreements between, there was broken by katara. a 150, published in in prison is a should be released in this 1st stage. so we understand they will be gathered from a different a prisons later today. just the number 3. don't know how many will be released today, but they will be den bro, to a check points and then release into the occupied westbank where then some of these uh will be able to receive them that they're preparing for this as well. and of course we also have to talk about gaza. we understand that, you know, part of this agreement is also that more humanitarian a to go into gaza that people would get some respite. but of course, the big question is, many of those 1700000 people that have been displaced in the past 7 weeks. they

won't be able to just go home. they are in the south and it's unclear whether they can, you know, go to the north, it's and many have no home to go to. obviously it's just so many unknowns there. and the c fire is planned to last for days, but israel's military says it's already planning what it says or the next stages of this war. well, could these next ages entail the, what is that it has made it very clear that this is just a break and fighting a pause and fighting and they set the war will resume this uh, the possibility of extending this, pausing fighting for every 10 as i said in these agreements for every 10, hospices that will be released, there might be an extension by one day up to 10 days. uh we heard the uh is where the defense minister. you have got an saying that she expects another 2 months at

least avoid because they want, you know, to eliminate as they say, dismantled all the computer capabilities all from us. and that hasn't yet reached a goal. so this will continue one way or another. so this is just basically a break and opposing the fighting. i just like to add that those are live pictures coming us coming to us from guys or not. and as you can see there tanya kramer andrews and thank you so much for all of your updates. well over here in germany, there's also hope that the hostages who hold german citizenship will be among those released. many of the people cannot by hamas are jewels citizens including members of one or family from cookbooks, berry, whose highest was burned during the october 7th terror attacks. a relative told dw, that 11 family members were taken hostage that de 8 are still believed house hostage and gaza. all 4 of those are german citizens,

including 2 small children among the families hoping to be re united with loved ones. are some with roots going back to the crimes of the nazis in germany? 11 members, official home victoria family were killed or kidnapped by him off the youngest, 3 years old. a big year old navy, and 3 year old. yeah. hell. siblings snatched by how most terrorists, the whole family ripped apart. no, they may just be coming home, but only some for grandfather, lot. the beginning of the end of a living nightmare. i go to hug them, use them, and i of that and probably there will be those be done in the 1st time to just the checkup. ready never thing, but i don't know. i don't know. as even single, they go to doing what they're going to say. the family descended from holocaust

survivors are among those come off hostages to hold german citizenship. last month, relatives travel to buy a lend to pressure german officials to help bring their loved ones home in the center of the german capital on thursday. street talk just drawing attention to their cause. that's in going to check in the visa on our children on that these involve body service, the battery come us, keep nothing shows we are dealing a site between this we should not forget it and 9 that should the whole well display guessing without being on know all the families at the heart of this tragedy can do is wait. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. hundreds of argentines, i've taken to the streets of one, is iris to protest against the policies of right wing populist president, elect heavier, mainly the winter of presidential elections at the weekend funds to shot down the

following that story for you as it develops throughout the day. you're watching dw news from berlin, i'm out of him on we'll have more news for you at the top of the hour. meanwhile, you can always get more news from our website that's dw dot com. thanks so much. sure. take care. the visa used on a full day from the note. actually we don't have a choice thing. so we have little time list to save the planet. so we have students who become as fast as possible. we only have one generation left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution. since the tune of the

industrial and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world. is this really possible documentary, the renewables renovation task, november 25th on d. w. the has sign off on the pacifier for its proper seat. panic leaders are making their most forceful associates to end the crisis. we'll ask an expert if an end really is insights. our europe, sanctions against russia in effective we speak to various prime minister about the loopholes that are in the kremlin millions and whiskey in the jar for

100 years. japan celebrate of spirit making anniversary. i mother xena. welcome to the show. so i know some debts written property sector has been at the center of the country's economic problems. but this week property shares have searched the boost comes after chinese authorities put pressure on state banks to speed up. lending to developers. authorities began drafting a list of 50 real estate firms that would be eligible for a range of financing. that's the most forceful push. yes to in the countries property crisis or shares of heavily indebted, developed country gotten drunk more than 20 percent on the shanghai stock exchange . as media reports say, the company is on the list of real estate funds eligible for increased financial assistance by the government. and the chinese government called on banks to increase loans to the struggling construction sector, which constitutes

a quote of chinese gdp over the past 2 decades. real estate developers like about ground that had enjoyed rapid growth, creating millions of jobs. fueled by the expectation that the building frenzy would persist. they took on substantial debts to finance more and more projects that have now transformed into ghost towns. which threatened to shake the belief mode on the, in the chinese dream, but also the communist party. the government fee is that the troubles of the property market will spill over to the financial sector. the fee of coming true on 1st day financial conglomerate jones, the enterprise group told, invest us it is, and saw event with a liabilities of up to $64000000000.00. you too, it's heavy exposure to the chinese real estate sector. joining me now is george magnus, he's an economist and a research associate at oxford university's china center. thanks for coming on. george. china's property market is a big part of its economic slump story. this push for financial support. is that

going to help or is that nearly a drop in the bucket as well? i think it should help to stabilize things. i mean, having said that, we thought when measures were being announced in the last 2 or 3 months, i'm recorded. she was being made available, and banks were being directed to land to property developers. i mean, we sold that by now. the market would perhaps in the bottom doubts. but if it keeps on kind of displaying this kind of pattern where you get this kind of brief increases may be in transactions, volumes, and so on, and then it will goes flat again. so, um, yeah, i mean it, this is just going to be the latest efforts to try to stop the market and sales and construction investment volumes from continuing to decline. and we'll just have to see what happens. there's not much demand out there, which is the problem,

right. speaking of efforts in the pipeline, china, as new finance minister announced this month, the aging will also boost budget spending can expansionary fiscal policy really solve the problem here? well, i think your test. yeah. the children's to values, i think it a could right. i mean, so they were announced a program of about a trillion guam, which is about point 7.8 percent of g d, b and authorized by the federal government service is going to be more investment in infrastructure. and, you know, social facilities also be lending to the real estate sector as well, which will, and it will help a bit, but it's really not the kind of a, it's a wrong kind of, you know, fiscal stimulus, really. the fiscal stimulus and the china really needs a, quite a lot of is the kind of stimulus that's going to the household consumption. and

that's something which the government has the kind of political blockage. and now they don't really want to do that on a scale that would manage that. where's that blockage coming from? well, the problem is that uh what we have in china is not just, i mean obviously is a government that has a lot of control and or financing um and in a way you'd think that it got that was like that to be able to do whatever he wants to jump list a, you know, and get back. control is only good enough if it's actually being used properly and i think be a limited nature of the policy i'm. it's objections to consumerism and welfare isn't as we would understand it and they run quite deep. no, i'm not saying it would never change, but certainly i'm decision paying. it seems very unlikely that they will do this voluntarily. georgia magnus from oxford university. since

invading ukraine, russia has become the world's most sanction country. and the european union is among the top sanction or is nevertheless, the kremlin still raked in a 1000000000 euros for it for a, for its on european soil this year. as according to a recent investigation by several non profit groups, including global witness, it concludes that russia is making use of loopholes and the use sanction rules. and one member states in particular, brussels had permitted bulgaria to continue importing russian oil to support us energy security. but recent evidence suggests full guerria allowed millions of oil barrels to reach a russian on refinery and then be sold abroad, including to other e u countries. our reporter rosie richard sat down was prime minister of bulgaria nichol. i then called and asked him when this loophole would be closed, as we have of the season. so instead of continuing until the end of the next year,

which was the additional initial that'll give some period, we will stop it by the end of march even starting before that stage by states. so we want to reduce as much as possible, dispute is, but this shouldn't happen with the risk. busy of exploding, the price you seen a fuel info get and so on and so forth. now about the how to say the suggestions that something was the legal something was improper. let's me be very clear. everything that has been done by the define that a, by the government completely corresponds to the regulator, europe, you regulations into the nation with a low. so foreign minister, you're committing to accelerating the timeline to ending this exemption. i think critics would say, we're just reacting to these recent reports, but since shown like the scale of just how much money russia is getting through this. no,

i would not agree with this. so what happens is that when we entered the office, we checked, we have any, any of that in this, if something happens to take over, over that or did they find that it, can we take control? can we be sure that, that he find that he will not be used as a economic weapon against the bulgarian the calling me so we needed these last few months. so pretty 3rd teams of people that are able if needed to take control over the find that so now we are it almost the 3rd to do it just few days, few months ago it. busy was absolutely impossible to think about this. so no, it is not the action of the of the board. we needed this time to be sure that we are the to act is necessary. and are you really ready? because i'm sure there are plenty of full gains that are concerned, but what the impacts might be on the economy. how are you going to cushion the blow? yeah. peaceful. the video question. do we work together?

we look rolling the transition from adoption phenomena as an oil, which is supposed to be a smooth transition. or there is a need to jump into the control that he finally and they controlled by, by the government. i think the 1st is less that he's key and if we agree on the timeline, this is my preferred option. but if luko is that he finally decide to acting the weird way, then we should be ready to take control. there's a lot of discussion i within the european union, i think whether support is waiting time key. if we're the count on the european union moving forward, do you think you can give that comments and commitment to k, okay, is really fighting for your i mean, if we allow, will continue to fail. then this creates that he'll try it for the companies that are on the eastern part of, of, of you. if we save money today,

it could become much more expensive for later. so we'll do whatever we can to help, okay, need to fight their button. because i didn't cove apartments for full care. thank you so much for speaking to data, please. my pleasure. and on a different note as spend of liquid sunshine and it's been around in europe for over 1000 years. whiskey this year. so loved liquor a celebrating a special anniversary 100 years ago. it started being produced in japan, a typo knock, a numerous distillery is one of the new kids on the block. he had been running a small manufacturing company set up by his grandfather. but yeah, and to do something more creative and the phone inspiration on a visit to a disability in scotland has him as a home, i know all the see. like when i saw an actual disability for the 1st time, i was impressed by how the amazing it was hoping to say yeah, model, you know, so i can see that this small distillery in the month in this country side was

selling whiskey globally. you know, i thought that i would also like to make my own whiskey and sell it around the world. how much do you guys do for the oil? so in order to set this product to parts, he had an idea is just woke. a distillery is the only distillery in the world, but still heat 6 whiskey the old fashioned way with a wood fire. instead of using gas or cold. there's no more than 100 license distilleries in japan, but for many years they were dismissed as inferior copycats of scotch. that's all changed when japanese single notes and blended whiskeys started rocking up international awards that rang 2000 the date, sparking and tens demand. especially things to some nifty creations. the whiskey i'm drinking appears to have been from a wine cask. it has

a rich wine like slighty food to taste after drinking it. so i think it's really delicious and easy to drink, or it's a good this the say not the live. what start to just a century ago has become a global industry. japan is know the world's 4th largest whiskey distiller. come pie. and a reminder of the top business story we're following for you as us. our stocks of chinese property developers have searched after paging, drafted a list of 50 real estate firms eligible for aid. it's an attempt to support the bottles property sector. the move comes as giant. financial conglomerates today says it is in solvents and that's our show for mark's check out. com slash business and the dw news youtube channel for us on facebook for me and the business team here in berlin. thank you so much for watching the,

to the point. strong opinions, clear position. international perspective. ukraine's counter offensive has so far failed to show significant victories. last time your nation and financial support from the west means ukrainians are dreading the approaching winter. this week on to the point we asked, failing against russia, can you create survivor port to the point? the next on d w. the theory is most powerful woman, little sister of the dictate to the steering gigi. who is tim your tongue? to dissipate to say she represents a mixture of expectation and disappointment. it was as though she wanted to remain

mysterious fear, some strong, sometimes threatening, sometimes of charming to but i couldn't see behind her match the way to the red princess stops. november 25th on dw, the ukraine's highly anticipated counter offensive has so far failed to show significant victories with dire consequences for its troops. shortage of i munition and less support from the west have brought the war against russia to a steps too many ukrainians are dreading the approaching winter because of renewed russian attacks on critical infrastructure. and they're also worried about being abandoned by the west altogether. will the winter bring a war of exhaustion that further jeopardize ukrainian integrity and independence

onto the point we ask, failing against russia? can you.
