the, the, this is the, the news light from berlin, israel, it's military says it's false as have free to hostages. you know, raid in gaza is rather get it out to see the best price on the southern city are rough up because as a mazda one has, a lot of these is dozens of people were killed in the strikes. also coming up nato flexes it's muscle launching the biggest military exercises in europe. since the cold war. some $90000.00 troops on the lines of vacant cross along with the candidate country suites, plus the kansas city chiefs when the american foot tall, suitable with pop superstar taylor swift,

shutting them on the team captors. it's 2nd nfl, the temperature, you know, roles. natalie, receiving san francisco in overtime. and i, when it goes, comes from behind the beach nigeria in the printing finale to be epic desktop of nations. the british manager, welcome to the program. israel says it has rescued the 2 hostages during a raid and goes a southern city of rough uh, the men age, 60 and 70 are fortunately in stable condition. and i've been taken to a hospital in the tel aviv is what i would say is the hostages. were freed, as its forces gutted out overnight strikes in rough uh a mouse around health. oddities say at least 48 people were killed in long states. menissi operate in in does of to hum us get it out. the october 7,

10 i attacked correspondence. rebecca auditors in jerusalem and she spoke to me earlier about what is known sofa about the 2 hostages fried by these rarely made a tree over us. the 2 men has been named as fernando mom and and louie hob, both in the sixties and seventies. uh, they were both origin to be in is riley nationals and they were kid not kidnapped on october 7th from the carpets of near yitzhak, they were also kidnapped with some of their family members. they were released in the november hostage exchange. and now these 2 men were rescued over night. they've been taken to a hospital near tel aviv family members who have been in contact with them. say the man was seen and pale, but otherwise looked relatively. okay. in good condition, they would of course, be completely medically checked and, and go through the processes now that hit

a standard for any hostage release. the idea if it says that this operation was carried out overnight at around 2 am, they were able to get access to a special ops unit. were able to get access to this apartment building where the men were located on the 2nd floor. according to the as riley military, they said it was a, a highly specialized operation. and that it was done on a credible intelligence and that they had, in fact, been waiting for some time for the conditions to be right. to carry out this operation that they had intelligence about the whereabouts of these 2 men for some time, but just waiting for that right moment to be able to carry out this operation. that also results of a strikes that these really forces conducted was that in support of this rescue mission, it was really military saying that these air strikes when needed to be carried out in order to provide cava for this special operation. we're hearing move and it doesn't, it strikes were carried out. and as you were reporting me,

i'm us run health ministry, putting the number of casualties at 37. we're also hearing reports from a hospital with a low, a casualty figure and, and hearing as well that the mustang, but the number could be much higher. so definitely a very intense operation from all reports that we're hearing. i witness reports, video that was thing posted on social media. there was an suing panic of people. some people reporting that they sold that the ground operation had begun and was on the way. and we're trying to wrong trying to find a cause. we see women with children running, trying to escape no more than a 1000000 people uh, sheltering in this small southern city that's on top of the some 300000 people that were already living there when this operation began. so at $1300000.00 at minimum and they're running out of places to go, and many of them has been displaced several times the conditions in that city of her estate, by all accounts and getting worse,

people warning that any ground operation would see a could test the humanitarian catastrophe. certainly some dire situation. a very terrifying situation for civilians sheltering their overnight. but these riley military saying that they needed to carry out this operation in order to be able to rescue these hostages or leave it there for the timing. but thanks so much for joining us now to back out to us from jerusalem and donnelly, i spoke to mike mountain as well. he's a former british army officer and security on the list at kings college london. i asked him if the overnight air strikes and rough uh, signal the start of the ground operations there. absolutely. i mean, usually, and these riley on force and a different say how the process all the americans would do it. but usually ground operations are preceded by a period of area operations. what you tried to take out some of the more high value

targets. so yes, it does seem that the incursion into rough uh, has big on us president joe biden say that as well should have a cold, amendable, and executable plan that ensures the safety of more than a 1000000 palestinians who are sheltering in rough uh does is around have such a plan like icons speak. so what's going on inside of these by the government, but i can speak to the fact that it's almost impossible to have a plan where you have a 1000000 people is you just said, but also cramped into a very, very small area. these people have left all the rising dollars, a flag for safety in russell, and they're off against the coast. rock for is the egyptian border so they can go any farther south is very, very difficult. if you're doing the kind of operations, israel has been doing so far. so aerial bombardment, i'm ground troops moving and it's very difficult to separates between military

targets. so how much militants and civilian targets. and of course, that's one of the things that you must do. if you want to fights and remain within the laws of will not the 1st time or that the goals and the idea of to try and book out a plan to spare any collateral damage. and the lives of civilians were caught up, you know, was the one from everything that you've seen over the past few months. does it appear that the idea f as and taught paid heat to any suggestions that it avoid this kind of collateral damage? this i think this does 2 things that one is the evidence that we have in front of us of a civilian casualties. and although the number is disputed, it is many, many, many 1000, some say up to 25 will 30000 civilian casualties. and that is a number that tells us that there is more that could have been done to distinguish

between militants and civilians and to protect civilians. but the other thing i think we should look at as well is the rhetoric of some is riley government ministers and cd, a members of the odd. yes. we've, we've talked about laying siege to garza, we've talked about costing of power. these are all things that expose, perhaps the intensive, the idea, and these way the government is not always as they say to distinguish properly between militants and civilians and to protect those civilians. now says that the talking victory is possible in gaza within months, would you say that's a realistic assertion? now it's, it's it's, it's impossible these way the government has sets itself to targets. one is to kill, destroy high mass quotes on quotes. and the other is to freehold hostages will the period that we had the most hostage release was when there was a ceasefire. and as for destroying him,

us several months into the operation house is still able to launch. rockets is ro, it's basically impossible to destroy military targets when you, when they are into sports, the monks, civilians living in high density in urban areas. are they any way to do that? is the kennel the civilians. so that's a huge problem for his ro, naval there for the time being. thanks so much for joining us today. mike boston to and here's a question about some other stories making headlines today. the pentagon said, is us secretary of defense lloyd austin has been admitted to a critical care unit in washington, dc for a bladder issue. austin has temporarily transferred duties to his deputy last month . austin was criticized by lawmakers for failing to disclose a cancer diagnosis. and with hospitalized vision were a little more on strategy and boxed on the policies that finished and 2nd and 3rd place in thursday of general election has begun colors and talks about hassan

wisdom league led by former premier nevada study of game and 2nd, followed by the boxes on people, spotty, independent candidates, backed by jailed ex prime minister in moran han. one. the most seats in front of my new southern has displaced tens of thousands of people in indonesia. as central java programs, many have moved to temporary shelters. the floods are likely to cause complications as introduce your prepares for elections and madison. well, the record holder kelvin, keep them and his goats have died in a car crash in west and can you give tim was the 1st man to run the madison in under 2 hours. one minute, he said, the new world record and the chicago madison last october. western leaders have criticized donald trump, saying he would not protect nato allies who are not spending enough of defense from russian attacks. the republican front front of trump said he had previously told

natal states he would ink cartridge russia to do whatever they want. if they didn't fulfill the commitments to the block with drunk has regularly less stopped members of the lines for failing to spend at least 2 percent of the economic output time. the more on defense slowing in nature chief ins. stilton bank says any suggestion that allies would not defend each other, undermines wisdom securities. we will protect you under any sir. meanwhile, nato has started its biggest military exercises in decades in europe. more than 3 months of naval ad and ground maneuvers kicking off operations step fos defend will take place across much of europe. 90000 personnel from both of you, one day to member countries as well as sweden will take part. it's the largest operation on the continents since the cold war. the exercises are designed to test the redness of the alliances eastern border. let's take

a look at what's installed and how russia is reacting to nato's. true or false. claims. warships tanks, it's been 3 years since the last operation steadfast defender. this year's version is happening on a grand scale, meant to demonstrate how fast forces could move from north america to europe, and activate defenses there against a near peer. and nato has $31.00 members participating, plus sweden, which is in talks to join the alliance. more than 90000 soldiers, sailors and air personnel will take part in more than 50 naval vessels and 80 aircraft are involved, as well as more than 1000 combat vehicles. it's a significant step up from the last 10 fast defender exercises in 2021. those involved about 10 percent for the personnel taking part this time around may know

says that's due to changing realities on the ground in europe. especially following rushes, invasion of you frame in 2022 and the ongoing war there. and the security situation in europe has, is domestic. you changed over the last couple of years. we have to exercise a larger scale. and with more complexity, then we, we used to doing in the era when we were mostly focused on, i'm at overseas operations. so i think what you'll see this year in 2024 is the new tools that new normal does not please russia, which sees nato as a hostile alliance. no mention was put in, you might have russia consider is major nato exercises as a threat to its security. in our understanding, the alliance was conceived, formed, configured, and managed by the united states as an instrument of confrontation. beautiful,

steadfast defender will shift from naval readiness and southern europe. the ground based exercises in the alliance is northern and eastern flanks over the coming months. it's set to wrap up at the end of may. for more context on this, i'm joined by e in bond. he's deputy director of the center for your autopay and reform and he's joining us from sorry. and the ok today. good morning in the biggest need to exercise in decades is natal basically wal gaming a conflict with russia? yes, i mean the off to the invasion of the train ladies who has had to step off its own defense preparation is because suddenly we see a, a major war on least on the continent of europe for the 1st time in a very long time. but the russian leader of letting me put in, indicated in a recent interview, he doesn't want to adopt any nato members. is that not reassuring financial as well

. he also said the exactly the same thing shortly before he invited you crate. and so, think we also, that is, babies, don't worry reassuring a toll is the same as internet means. it says, don't believe anything until the kremlin has denied it. so you're, this is so i think you're a good example of why nature has to be prepared for anything us presidential hopeful donald trump has once again brought up the issue of some nature members, not the contribution at least 2 percent of the g d b. if he want to be re elected, what is the impact that would have on the nato alliance? it would be extremely d, stabilizing. i sold it, do you have the type of a trump making these extraordinary comments about your encouraging fruits into a tech they tell your member states if they weren't spending 2 percent on the g d. p on defense. and they type relies on the credibility of the guarantees

that members give to each other. and if the united states, the largest, nice, i remember, is basically saying, well, you know, we don't care if the person who attacks some of the member states that he's extremely destabilizing unlikely, is the lead to miscalculations and the risk of conflicts launched by rusher against the most vulnerable states, for example, the baltic states. stay on the question of donald trump becoming potentially us president if you want to become us president and us involvement in need to what to be reduced in some form. what the rest of the native members in europe be prepared to cover up for that deficiency as things stand at the moment they would be waiting for the under preventive. and they're all still mold and hoff of the european they time members who are not spending 2 percent of veggie, g d,

p on defense. some of our spending, well above that are in poland. will spend about 4 percent this year. but i think they take countries have to start thinking much more seriously about how they would cope if the us were unable or unwilling to make the, the contribution that had previously been planned. are you saying that that thinking is not happening in euro? if it's happening, it's definitely happening well behind closed tools. and perhaps that's your, that's sensible, but we don't really see the defense production being remix up in many countries in the way that you would have, if they were actually starting to take the defense multiple seriously. you, i did the, the facts that european countries have really struggled to get even to haul from the amount of ammunition that they said they were going to supplies you trade in by

the spring suggests to me that the still was investing enough in increasing defense production where you lived there for the time being, but thanks so much for joining us this morning in born with the center for european reform. thank you so much. thank you. what we're going to sports news now, and american football is super bowl, where the kansas city chiefs of defeat of the san francisco 49 has to win that 2nd straight national football league championship. they have to come from behind. however, san francisco score on a trick play early in the game to seize a 10 point lead. but the chief event of the game into overtime are much the largest famous fan. elizabeth. what about the best thing? the home is then, in spite of the winning drive for the 2522 file in las vegas,

i'm on that. mark meadows from the the sports is with me in this to do a mock. good morning, a really close game. it was yes. i mean, it was only the 2nd ever super bowl to go into overtime and a half time. i've got to say, i told the san francisco $49.00 is going to do it. they were by far the better team . but i think the kansas city chiefs given all their experience having one it last year, they've now become the philistine to win back to back super bowls in 20 years. and having been in for the 5 full, suitable super bowl in the last 5 years, i think old know how is what got them over the line. i mean, patrick, my homes didn't abby's best game, actually the kansas city pulled it back, bought some of the things you didn't, that last drive are absolutely sensational. and they built them over the line. and he, even afterwards he had meant to do wilson at his very best, but he still got the most valuable player award. if he is talking after the game. i mean it special, i think, is that championship mindset. i mean, whatever stuff isn't going great, we're going to continue to fight and i'm just game wasn't. we had times we weren't playing great, especially off. and so we were able to step up to the subtlety

a case where the pets making those stops, and people to talk about the office. we have those last you drive the difference of what type us in that game. and that's our entire season. they're gonna give us chances and we're gonna make it happen when it counts slides. and therefore, i have to ask you about the dentist and that goes down to switch to was in the, in the, in the stadium during for her boyfriend, the place for the kansas it is. yeah, yeah. i mean, uh, obviously her romance with travis kelsey, the kansas city type. the end has been the talk of the nfl o season. she flew all the way from japan to be that she was on to in japan, but she obviously want it to, to be there for super bowl it. it almost looked like a bit of a pointless journey given how well the 14 hours were doing. but kind of kept getting a, she's a very well in the for the stuff, and he'd never had a bit of a rook us with his own coach. he wanted to be in a certain play and he went up to his coaching sort of bobs discounts and he read. so that kind of summed up how it was going for the season with the stuff, but he made some great catches in the 2nd house to help them win. and yeah, i mean, she was obviously, there was a fan, she wasn't there to sing. actually,

osha was the guy doing the half time show. it wasn't as memorable as last year with, with riana or other. we did columbus roll escapes at one point and it was a cameo from alicia keys, but it's about 30 seconds long. so it was very short coming up. i'm sure it will see, tell us waste at the half time show in assumable at some point. probably not when her boyfriend is playing. but can we use the dreaded us the dynasty? now for the chiefs, i think we can, yes, i mean no team has ever won 3 super bowls in a row. so i think that's going to be the aim. there was some tools that a and you read the code should retire, but i think he will now stay on in order to try and get this 3 pete, which no one's ever done. and then they really are a dynasty and they will rival the patriots of tunbridge. we live with they have of the time being. things are coming into the studio. meadows from the, the sports or from american football football also got some people like the college ivory coast is celebrating office, a going it said after got

a cup of nations crown the gone host game from behind and attending finding that games nigeria document strike us the best in hollows, failure to finish seeing the glory as nigeria and best all strike a big to all see man, band short we are off for good champions. i've already and celebrate their turn. i've gone title on home. so that's host of the tournament, ivory coast where the heavy crowd favorites for the final, which is, plays in a brand new stadium and not be john burke. thanks for everything to all the people that took part to every country that came to him. so thanks for everything. back to the elephant scrape their way up to the group stages after 2 defeats, including a 4 neil rag by equitorial guinea before finding their form and the not good rounds . but things didn't go the host way and the final the i've already is we're behind

after 38 minutes after nigeria, captain william trustee kong has insight into the lead the i've already in the resilience, frank has equalized early in the 2nd half of the ivory coast with the powerful header them at 9 minutes to go came the fairytale finish for sebastian, holler. it's ivory coast 3rd title after wins in 1992 in 2015. the ivory coast team is called the elephant, but a vist on a month, they dumped the zombie out of funds for coming back from the dead. so often i asked john list samsung old molly in. i'll be john how they did it as well. it's resilience determination. and it never dies periods that the versions you know, brought to bag and the costs of these $2.00 and just doing 3 off going on the right, the sack. i mean, several times we've sold them, you know, going into the desk literally as a theme football and then recovery was sold them, you know, even losing for neil. so if we sort of get into groups stages,

i mean they have to suck the coach, john concert and eventually messing face campaign. and today, while looking at the team who had the risk of being eliminated from the tournament, save for that them. when by morocco against somebody as i brought them back in on today, the ground champions of africa today, the actually out of funds because the jump to a subsidies and it goes to as the host of this document as well. of course, how would you say the country did as hosts? well, the country has been celebrated literally by funds visitors. i've even john less than even the competition of up again football for stage and a very, very well organized tournament. competitive with what we've had in the past of this tournament has shown that i think i can put up um a, a competition that can, you know, be well organized. look at the transportation to look at safety security. i mean, it was not so we didn't have that kind of control receive that we had in cameroon.

and even in other nations, culprit i was stage and all the countries in the game on the piece of play you, you, you will definitely to within the bridge, ask and referees them looking to add the we'd be and do a lot of the matches. yeah, there may be one or 2 calls that we have going suspicious i said where, but the hour had been celebrated as to how it was deployed in this tournament. and of course, the quality of play look at countries that you normally will not celebrate as being b for boy, the nation's coming through a. so it's, it's been a well organized ornaments, a fatalist. and what would you say this will automatically be most a member for it will be remembered for its drama, eat the leaks of a come box, as well as even as the funds will be known for, it will be remembered for a tournament that threw up many goals, i'm record breaking goals as it is. need to be, it's on the window, go into the history book as having less spots the teams take out the giants of

asking for boys. they often poor thing. when the time being done this samsung. oh my la in, i'll be on ivory coast the home of the f gone and the ask on champions, thanks so much. thank you. direct a dozen legs where sweat, glitter and sequins have taken over at rio de janeiro as the city she means to brazil's son bobby. it's thousands of dancers stuffing their stuff and videos kind of on parades. 12 different summer schools are competing for the type of carnival champions. the parades of the climax of the annual festival with each one telling a different story. this is for aids paying homage to us for preserving and indigenous history. and then in mind to know about the story of this, israel's ministry says it has rescued to hostages in special forces range in rough uh is around also kind of about 7 and strikes the guys us. i'm not spun help. i'll thought of to say is dozens of people and what killed the strikes coming up
