don't switch, stay with us, it will be interesting. israel and hamas agreed on a temporary ceasefire. what does this mean and what fate awaits the hostages? we talk about this in today's issue of bbc ukraine. i am olga palomaryuk. a temporary ceasefire for four days for the exchange of hostages, will this be the first step towards a real ceasefire in the gas sector. long discussions, discussions, arguments and votes. in the end, the israeli authorities did agree to a pause in hostilities . on wednesday night, the israeli government approved agreement with the group. the so-called humanitarian

truce. how will it work? within four days, 50 hostages will be released from captivity - these are women and children, who were kidnapped by hamas militants during the attack on israel on october 7. in return, 150 palestinians must be released, and israel must cease all air activity in the southern gaza strip for four days. the bbc's yolanda nell reports. 47 days of brutal war. most of the gas lies under the ruins. after the last deadly fighting, when an israeli rocket hit a residential building in camp, children could be under the rubble. the dead are also mourned here in khan yunis. these settlers heard the news about the truce and desperately hope it will last. we ran from one place to another. we hope that this truce will work. we pray that people again. lived in peace

so that they could return to their jobs, to their homes and to have stability. the israeli government met late into the night to discuss the deal and only narrowly approved it. it was agreed that 50 hostages, all women and children, would be released. silence mode will last for four days, hostilities in gaza will be suspended for this time. freeing each of the next ten hostages will extend the pause by one more day. now, some of these israeli children may soon return home. ariel is 4 years old and loves football. kafir is the youngest hostage, he is only 10 months old. protesters gathered last night during a ministerial meeting in tel aviv. they continue to pressure the public to bring their loved ones home. gilad korngold anxiously awaits news. the unknown disappeared. seven

his relatives, including small grandchildren. no one told me that anyone in my family was covered by this deal. 40 children are being held in gaza, they have only 30 left to return, but where are the others? i do not know. and i hope that everyone will be released. palestinian families are also waiting for news about women and teenagers who are to be released from israeli prisons. agreement, the official responsible for the prisoners considers it an important step. this deal could signal a change in the overall atmosphere, says acadura farres, adding that it could break the tension and create a new reality. a few hundred more aid trucks due to arrive during the ceasefire should improve the dire humanitarian situation in gaza. more tankers of fuel will be sent to the sector, which is catastrophically... in short supply,

so for now there is cautious optimism on all sides. so, what is known about measurements in gas. it will start tomorrow, november 23, at 10 am local time, as part of the agreement, hamas militants will release 50 hostages, these are only women and children, but not all at once, but in groups the first group of hostages will be released on thursday. by agreement , the law can also extend the agreement. for every 10 hostages released, another day will be added, and instead 150 palestinians will be released from israeli prisons, although earlier the israeli ministry of justice published a general list of 300 palestinians who could be released. also, according to the conditions , a ceasefire will be established for four days. gases in the south, israel will completely stop air activity, in the north it will limit from the 10th. a.m.

until 4 p.m., this includes a ban on the use of drones. trucks with humanitarian aid and fuel will also enter the gas sector. at the same time, as reported in the office of the prime minister of israel , benjamin netanyahu. the country's government, the idf and the security service, despite the agreement , will continue the war until all hostages are released. what is known about the israeli hostages. as a result of the hamas attack on israel, more than 200 people were captured. the oldest woman is 85 years old, the youngest child is not even a year old, they were all taken away and their exact location is unknown. on the other hand, israel has released a list of three hundred palestinian prisoners it is willing to exchange, and almost half of them are 18-year-old boys, as well as 32 women. what is known about those who are planned to be exchanged? says the bbc's security correspondent, frank

garner. these are palestinian women and boys who were under 18 at the time of their arrest. the exact number has not been confirmed, but some reports mention a number. mostly teenage boys, five teenage girls and about 75 women. about 300 in total. like them arrested? while all this was happening in gaza, violence also increased in the west bank, so some of these people were those who were detained by the israeli police and defense forces during raids in the west bank. why did the israeli government argue for so long about the terms of this agreement? senior adviser to the prime minister of israel, mark regev, told the bbc about it. i don't so much count as hope that we will be able to free more people. the reason we have released a list of 300 names

of our prisoners is that we want to be ready if that happened. but there are no guarantees. here we are talking about a temporary cessation of fighting for four days in order to facilitate. release of hostages and we are ready to extend the truce for an additional day for the release of successive batches of 10 hostages. you have to understand, the only reason this is happening at all, and that hamas agreed to it, is not because they suddenly became humane, because people who kidnap babies cannot be humane. no, the reason is different, they were trapped. tsahal hit them well. we destroy their military power, we destroy. their top brass and it forced them to accept the terms of this ceasefire, they needed a break from the fighting, so we did the right thing when we kept repeating that we would agree to a ceasefire only if our people were released, and it worked, and our people would be released.

i also want to ask you about the humanitarian situation in gaza, within this... aid to the population of the sector will be increased, but the charity organization oxfam describes it as a band-aid on a wound that is bleeding and says: neither the volume nor the frequency of arrival humanitarian cargo is not enough, taking into account the needs of the sector, what will you do to significantly ease the lives of civilians in the gas? we talked about creating a humanitarian safe. zone in the southern part of the gas sector, west of the city of khan yunis. we believe that there should be tents, a field hospital, and all those people who are fleeing the fighting will have a shelter when the fighting resumes, and it will resume, and people should heed the calls and go

to a safe place so that they don't get hurt from fighting between israeli soldiers and by hamas terrorists. we do not want civilians to be harmed in the fighting. hamas, of course , sets the opposite goal, they use civilians as human shields, they hide their bases under civilian objects, schools, hospitals, mosques. let me remind you that not only israel accuses them of such tactics, the usa, britain, and the european union also say so. this hamas strategy is well documented and well known. we do not want any civilian casualties. hamas is to blame for the current crisis. well, while the preparations for tomorrow's truce continue, today is fighting the actions did not stop, this is footage from the gas sector, this morning the israel defense forces fired gas from the air, land and sea, there are reports of strikes on camps,

refugee camps. so, the hostage exchange agreement is the first, during this conflict, the first attempt to cease fire during a terrifying attack. to israel on october 7. 50 kidnapped israeli hostages plan to be released in exchange for 150 palestinians. and if the day before the white house commented on the situation with caution... they said that the agreement had reached a delicate stage, until today, president biden officially welcomed the deal, saying he believed more american hostages would return home, and prime minister kateru, who brokered the deal, said he hoped the exchange would end the war. the truce was also congratulated by the leader of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas, the countries of the european union, as well as jordan, china and egypt. general secretary. antonio guterres says this is an important step in the right direction, but more needs to be done.

at the same time, the head of the world organization health protection, called on the parties to behave carefully and not to forget about the civilian population, which continues to suffer, and called to release the rest of the hostages, and also to cease fire. israel itself, as we mentioned earlier, insists that this is not the end of the war, but only a planned pause until the complete elimination of hamas. well, on the subject of ukraine's relations with the states of the region, there is an interesting article on our website, the title of which is how ukraine repels the arab world and how this will affect its support by the global south in the war with russia, i highly recommend reading it. novena in gas also froze the sports life of both sides , the other day the world cup qualifying match between palestine and australia was supposed to take place, but it was postponed due to the fact that three players of the palestinian national team were stuck in gas and could not join the training. the story

of one of them will be told by a yogi. he was stuck in gas, left homeless and in danger of a plane crash. ibrahim abuimeir should be on the football field now, training with the rest of the palestinian team for the world cup qualifiers. that's what. remained from his house, after going to the neighboring house a rocket hit, then more than a dozen of his neighbors died. 17 people died here, we found only one body intact, the others were mangled, two of the dead are still under the rubble, we could not get them, we had to identify people by the fragments of their bodies, my grandparents, we pulled them out from the rubble for two days . his grandfather has already suffocated him, but he has to fight for water and food every day. along with the pain

of war, they also have a bitter sense of loss of life opportunities, for example, in sports, a career in which usually did not last long. coach says that ibrahim is one of the star players of the palestinian defense. i haven't trained in 44 days, and each day is harder than the last, and i'm constantly in fear for my life. far from gaza, on the west bank of the jordan river, we met one of the coaches of the palestinian national team, ehab abujaz, whose father died of an illness in gaza on the second day of the war. ehab could not even say goodbye to him. ehab's family moves from one place to another in search of safety. thousands of people died in gas under these circumstances. why is it so important that the palestinian team played football is not just a game for us, it is our

way of fighting for our independence, it is a symbol of our resistance and desire to achieve official recognition of our state for every palestinian. war sweeps away everything in its path. ibrahim feels grateful for the fact that he is still alive. but without sport, which fills his life with meaning, it is joyless. this was the material, but i would like to remind you to subscribe to our pages in social networks so as not to miss the most important news, we are on facebook, instagram and tiktok, on youtube, you can watch our news release if you missed it on the air , well that's all for today, look for more stories on our website bbc.ua, as well as on our social media pages, and we will be back on the air tomorrow: as always at 21, all the best and take care!

greetings, friends, live broadcast of the tv channel, verdykt program continues, my name is serhiy rudek. i congratulate everyone and wish everyone good health, today we are talking about ukraine, about the world, about war, about victory, about everything that you talk about among yourselves, today in program lavrov is expected at the osce, and putin is virtually participating in the g20. who and why wants to rehabilitate the kremlin. the defeat of russia, the guarantee of security in the world, what should be the victory of ukraine and what is needed for this? a long way to yeto, what requirements has

ukraine fulfilled and how much more needs to be done? friends, in the next 45 minutes we are conducting a survey that we have already started in the first part of our program and we are asking you today about this, do you know about the plan for the victory of ukraine, yes no, please vote for us on youtube, there is voting, it's quite simple, choose yes, no, and also by phone lines, if you're watching us on tv right now, so if you know about ukraine's victory plan, vote on 0800-211-381, if you don't know, 0800-21 . 382 all calls to these numbers are free, i want to introduce the guests of today's studio, this is yevhennia kravchuk, people 's deputy of ukraine, servant of the people faction, mrs. yevhenia, i congratulate you and i'm glad to see you on our air, congratulations, good evening. yaroslav yurchyshyn, people's deputy of ukraine, faction voice. mr. yaroslav, good evening and glad to see you on the air. good evening. mr.

rostyslav pavlenko, people's deputy of ukraine, european faction. solidarity, mr. rostislav, i congratulate you and thank you for joining our broadcast today. good evening, greetings to all. well, since we are asking our viewers about the plan for the victory of ukraine, because this is actually a very interesting question, and a question that worries everyone, without exception, i think, ukrainians, everyone understands that there will be a victory and everyone understands that there must be some kind of plan and plan of this victory. ladies and gentlemen, are you aware of this victory plan. and can you unequivocally say what this plan is, ms. evgenia, let's start with you, well, it is clear that for ukrainians victory is not only the actual restoration of sovereignty and, well, actually the borders of 1991, but also european integration and accession

to nato, because this is exactly what it should be, well, that stoppage, that guarantee that the war will not resume in us in 10-20 years, or when there will be some new dictator in russia, because russia does not seem to change, of course, that for it is best for us that russia disintegrates, so on different republics, because that's what it's called, a federation, but in fact, it's a completely centralized country, which is not , well, it's decided in moscow and only there it gives some handouts to these so-called republics, of course, you have to go to that, and we definitely need a military victory on the battlefield, it is clear that in any process, it is crucial for ukraine to be strong and able

not only to defend itself, but also to counterattack, but in the context of european integration, too, quite... a clear plan, it's right here, well probably the most clear, because these are quite such formalized stages, and here we are right on the threshold of a new stage, which is actually the last stage before joining the eu, because the actual negotiations are, although long, but the last stage before the ratification of the actual agreement, access to eu. thank you, mr. yaroslav, what do you have to say about whether you know about the victory plan and whether it should somehow be articulated by the leaders of the state, perhaps fixed by some document? in fact, it is articulated constantly, a peaceful plan, the whole world is familiar with it, and it, in addition to that said ms. yevhennia, it contains a very important component

, which is condemnation and compensation in the best possible way, of course, we will not be able to fully compensate, unfortunately, the dead citizens of ukraine, their families, their families, but compensation for all the damages caused by the country of the aggressor, too is not a mandatory and necessary mechanism , otherwise unpunished evil will constantly return, and that is why we are not only talking about the restoration fairly within the borders of the year 1991, we are not only talking about what russia has or that space, which is now called the russian... federation , and mrs. yevgenia and i are members of a special commission created by the verkhovna rada regarding the enslaved peoples of russia itself

in order to give them the opportunity for sovereignty and self-determination, which are guaranteed to them by all un documents, but what what the ukrainian leadership says, what the parliamentary diplomacy says, what the people's diplomacy says, the tribunal, for putin and his cronies and compensation within the limits of what is possible for the damage that was done to ukraine, in the end, i think that it is not the first stage, because similar lawsuits after us will definitely be ready to present georgia and moldova to russia, and i hope, in time, democratic belarus. thank you, mr. yaroslav, sir. rostyslava, please tell me whether there is an equal sign between zelenskyi’s peace plan and the victory plan, and whether they are different plans, because

the peace plan and the victory plan, well, they may coincide, but is there a need for a separate victory plan that would clearly , all citizens of ukraine and politicians understood, not only world politicians and not only world politicians playgrounds look, i think that my colleagues and i are reflecting the consensus that exists in society, because 80% say that ukraine should restore its territorial integrity and sovereignty, over the territory within the international borders, as of 91- 92 years, more than 80% say that ukraine should be a member of nato and should be a member of the eu, this is about a point that, again, is absolutely not easy...' in the majority, but almost completely , ukrainian society shares, we see , that all the main political forces are also signing under this goal, and here the main thing is how we will achieve it, we remember how the whole world

applauded in ukraine last year, when, despite all the negative forecasts, the armed forces of ukraine threw out the russian invaders from the north of ukraine, took successful actions in kharkiv and kherson oblasts, made arrangements for: this will continue this year and in the future, and we have also seen quite rapid progress in the context of european integration, euro-atlantic integration and the like, and now it is very important that we all, as the country, combining all efforts, to go to victory in all three directions , both in the military plan, and in the plan of joining nato, and in the plan of joining... and here we have to surprise as much as we surprised last year

the world with the resilience of the ukrainian people and the ability to defeat a far superior enemy, we also need to overcome those obstacles that actually do not allow us to finally complete the issue of joining the eu and nato, and unfortunately, we are giving our partners various political beatings. or obstacles to processes within the country, i.e. removal corruption, i.e. solving internal issues related to the rule of law, freedom of speech and so on, all this will definitely help to continue this positive effect from the perception of ukraine and will definitely strengthen progress in all three directions, expand aid, which will allow the armed forces to beat the enemy more effectively , and will strengthen our positions in negotiations with allies in nato and the eu, in order to quickly complete all the necessary procedures. that is against the background of how we say that we are talking about how the situation in ukraine and ours should develop further

partners, including, vladimir putin appears virtually , joins the summit meeting, the g20 summit virtually, and for the first time since the 21st year, the leaders of the g20, with the exception of biden and cd, listen to him and perceive what he says, i suggest listening to a small fragment of what putin said today to the g20 themselves? some colleagues have already said in their speeches that they are shaken by the aggression, the ongoing aggression of russia in ukraine. yes, of course, military actions. it is always the tragedy of specific people, specific people families, and countries as a whole. and of course, we must think about how to end this

tragedy. by the way, russia has never refused peace negotiations with ukraine, this is not russia, but ukraine has publicly announced that it is withdrawing from the negotiation process, and moreover, a decree, a decree of the head of state, was signed , prohibiting such negotiations with russia. well, this is the first episode, and the second episode, what the minister of foreign affairs of austria said about that. that mrs. lavova is expected at the ministerial meeting in skopje, and there will be 57 participants, ms. yevhennia, or can this be perceived as a certain rehabilitation or russia's pleas for a conversation, because i repeat once again, putin has not participated in a meeting of the g20 since the 21st year, that is, in fact for two years, he was, well, in such

conditional isolation, of course, he is the envoy of putin and possibly the osce and at least i would like to see him, but it also sounds very strange that he has to fly there to skopje, maybe his plane will not be allowed to skopje after all, but curtsy towards moscow is done, well, regarding the performance at this virtual summit, i wouldn't actually exaggerate it, because the country, well, which is there now, well, conditional, as the president... g20, india, she, well, still declares herself neutral there, for peace, of course, but in september, there was even an official invitation from india to putin, well, but he did not go, because even though india is not included in the countries that signed the rome statute, he still worries that somewhere along the way he, well, will he has problems because of this warrant,

and please note that he is not participating in the g20 biden, nor xi jinping, that is, neither china, nor the united states, well, someone , of course, who will accept, participate there at the level of ministers, i don’t know, i didn’t follow, but this is also, well, such a touch, but with about the osce, here maybe a little more, well, share insights and explain this situation, because literally from where. a few days ago , the russian delegation returned from the autumn session of the osce parliamentary assembly, which was held in yerevan, in armenia, by the way, although it could come, because there is no visa regime with burma, but did not come, it shows that they are losing their positions in the region in the caucasus, and they would definitely be poked in the nose that all these peacekeeping missions of theirs there are all

shams. but returning to the osce as an organization, well, actually at the level of executive power there, there is a big problem, all decisions in the osce are made by consensus, and now russia, together with belarus, has blocked the presidency of estonia for 2024, and to try to solve this blocking , they just gave lavrov the opportunity to fly to skopje, well, it will be at the end of the month, and in fact, actually in skop'. the fate of this organization will be decided, because if, for example, a consensus is not found, there may be an option to extend the mandate of north macedonia, then there will be no presidency, the governing bodies will not be re-elected and the organization will simply be blocked, well, it will not be a year activities, there is a budget, the russians have also already blocked it for two years in a row , and by the way, these are the problems of these statutes, organizations that arose after the second world war, which

give... the right of consensus and the right of veto, and this is definitely this architecture of international organizations need to be rebooted, because if there is an aggressor state that has sneezed on everything, on every sentence in the charter of an international organization, then it is obvious that it must be somehow eliminated, but there must be rules for this, mr. yaroslav, please tell me is it even possible in the world that putin, after some period of time, will become a person with whom everyone will talk, sit down at the conference table, or let's say, shake hands, as if a virtual hand was offered, today he will be among the top twenty, maybe he will pass at some point, everyone will get tired of russia's war against ukraine and everyone will say, listen, let's talk to putin, at least somehow, because we understand.
