we continue in the second part. the temporary truce between israel and hamas in the gaza strip, where they are conducting a prisoner exchange, will be extended for another two days. we are talking about this on bbc news ukraine live from london. i am yevgenia shedlovska. peace, which was valid for four days, is extended for another two, during which time hamas militants released dozens of hostages, but not all, while israel released more than a hundred palestinians from prison. a temporary ceasefire in the gaza strip has been in place for four days, the first such truce between israel and hamas in a year and a half months from the start of the fighting. was supposed to end

today at midnight local time, but it was extended for two more days. this was announced by qatar, qatar is the country that is the mediator in the negotiations on the truce between israel and the hamas group, israel has not yet commented on this extension of the agreement. actually, what kind of truce is this? the terms of the first four-day truce were as follows: hamas militants must release fifty israeli hostages, women and children, whom they captured during the attack. october 7. israel instead had release 150 palestinian prisoners, women and children. what happened in four days. under this agreement, hamas released 39 israelis. separately, hamas released another 19 foreign hostages. israel released 117 palestinians from prisons, and the rest of the people were supposed to be released today under this deal. consider that the hamas militants released only a part of the captured hostages. according to the israeli authorities.

240 people were taken in the gas sector, so most of the hostages still remain there. we will tell about those who were released from captivity later, among them, in particular, a woman who survived the holocaust, these are those who were held captive for a month and a half, but the key question today was whether the truce would continue. well, israel was ready for this, because i want to return all the hostages, listen to what the spokesman of the israeli government said earlier. campaign to eliminate hamas. the return of our hostages will resume immediately after the hostage release pause ends. of course, i will not speculate now about the specific operational steps of our troops and their further strategy, but hamas officially it has been reported that we are open until the break is extended. we want to take an additional 50 hostages after tonight to bring everyone home, and once this deal is completed, israel will continue to pursue its three goals in full force:

destroy hamas, do everything possible to ensure that the gaza strip is never a security threat again israel and release all the perpetrators, because it was israel's military successes that forced hamas to agree to release the perpetrators. and earlier, the representatives of israel declared that they were ready to act according to the following formula: one more day of truce if hamas releases 10 more hostages. and groups. has already confirmed that it is ready to extend the truce for two days on previously defined terms. and also: during these few days of cease-fire , humanitarian aid was constantly delivered to the gas sector. what is important? israel was urged to extend this humanitarian pause. this was done by the secretary general of the un, and the secretary general of nato, and the representative of the eu, and the leaders of a number of different countries. this story shows the position of the united states, a key ally of israel. so i'll ask. listen what

said president biden, more is needed, but this deal is already producing results, critically needed aid is coming in, hostages are being returned, and this deal will continue to build on those results, and president biden's administration has already confirmed an agreement to extend the gas truce, rep. white house secretary john kirby said hamas plans to release 20 more women and children in the next two days. and the united states hopes that the american hostages will be released. well, israel launched a war against the group hamas, which controls the gas sector after the october 7 attacks. palestinian militants then killed more than 1,000 israelis and captured more than 200 . now those prisoners who returned to israel during the first four-day truce were greeted with tears. after the terrible events of recent weeks, israel.

rejoices, this is footage of a group of hostages returning from captivity in the gas sector, they are greeted at home, they wave back. both israel and hamas say that they can extend the exchange agreement for those released there was more after 50 days in captivity, the young hostages are finally home. emeli hunt is now being hugged by her father, thomas. and there was a period when he considered his daughter dead. she is now free and says she is doing well. this weekend we finally managed to get emily home, get the gasses back from the terrorists, her face is wasted and her body is thin, but overall she looks better than we expected, emily's family

says they are going to throw her the biggest birthday ever, in captivity the little girl turned 9 years. abigail idan is also on bodi. on her joe biden insisted on the dismissal. a four-year-old girl of american-israeli origin, now an orphan. hamas killed both her parents. among the released prisoners and jaffa adar. returning home, she found out that her grandson was now in captivity. this photo shows the moment when an 85-year-old woman is being taken away by hamas fighters. she survived the holocaust, in her old age she also survived captivity. she said she came back from hell, strong as ever. in my mind, she's still there, looking us all in the eye and showing us that nothing can break her, and she tells: how she thought about us and about

her great-grandchildren, the night when everything happened. she says that she heard their voices, they called her, that she said to herself: well, i must survive, i must do everything possible to return. palestinian teenagers also return home from israeli prisons. israeli occupation authorities detain many children on charges of throwing stones. they were greeted as heroes on the west bank. a green hamas flag flies in the crowd. in the sector. the measuring tape is kept in the middle of the ruins. according to the hamas-controlled ministry of defense health, more than 14,000 palestinians have died since the start of hostilities. and the international community is anxiously waiting to see what will happen next when israel resumes shelling. so

what depended on whether the truce between israel and hamas in the gaza sector would continue or not? this is what the bbc correspondent said. who is in jerusalem, hugo bachega, before it became known that this humanitarian pause is being extended for another two days. it seems that now egypt is convinced that this arrangement can be expanded, and i think israel has said that they can extend it, they propose to extend the pause in the fighting in gaza by one day for every ten hostages released by hamas. hamas, in turn, made it clear that they, too, are interested in the continuation of this truce. the israelis insist that everything is in the hands of hamas, because they say that every evening hamas can submit a list of ten hostages for exchange and then the agreement will be extended. it seems that yesterday we heard statements

from palestinian officials that hamas was willing to release 20 to 40 hostages, so perhaps this means that the ceasefire can extend from two to four i think there are some complications from gaza, hamas says that some of the hostages are taken by other groups, other factions, so it will take more time to get their names, identify them and establish where they are kept let's not forget that this agreement includes a pause in the hostilities in gaza, and thanks to this temporary ceasefire , humanitarian aid is coming to gaza, probably the palestinians of gaza will be happy with any extension of this ceasefire, because they have been through weeks intensive israeli bombings. that is,

who is holding other israeli hostages, if not hamas militants, where do they get them? this is what columnist frank gardner said earlier on the bbc. hamas is not the only paramilitary group in gaza. if we go back to that terrible day, on the morning of saturday october 7, when the armed men rushed through the ordered border fence, not all of them were members of hamas. we are talking about the hamas operation in southern israel that day. yes, indeed, he managed this entire operation hamas, but the hostages were taken by members of the palestinian islamic jihad, and representatives of gangs, and individual armed individuals. in the chaos that then arose, they took the hostages to gaza under machine guns, whether on foot or on motorcycles, and separated them, because they were waiting for the operation of israeli special forces. but this did not happen. so now hamas has a task: if they want to extend

the truce, they have to find an additional 10 hostages that they are not holding. so now hamas is negotiating with islamic jihad, for this to happen? hamas in gaza rules with an iron fist, the group came to power in 2007 after clashes with yasser arrafat fatah's movement. which rules the west bank, there is at least one known case of a fatah representative being thrown from a tall building, there have been no elections since then, and anyone who dares to criticize hamas is in big trouble, there is no democracy in the gas sector, and now one of the big questions - what will happen in gaza after israel ends its military operation, which should end soon, who will rule gaza, we asked this question to the minister of the arab countries last week and they actually said anyone but us. this will be a major

international problem, because the palestinian authority, which the us believes should take over in gaza, is weak, corrupt, inefficient and unpopular. so who will rule in gas then? and during the cessation of hostilities, humanitarian aid, food, medicine, and fuel, necessary for civilians in the gas sector, were delivered to the gas sector for the first time. day almost 200 trucks with humanitarian aid arrived from egypt, the most since the beginning conflict, this was reported by the palestinian society of the red crescent, ion states that it was able to deliver thousands of liters of fuel, which is needed, in particular, for the operation of generators in hospitals. thousands of people in the gaza strip were forced to leave their homes and travel from the north to the south of this territory due to bombing and fighting. bbc correspondent, adnan albuj', talks about the conditions in which people live in the gas sector. as you can see, the weather

is rainy and very cold now. tens of thousands of people now live in tents like this one the entire gas sector. they are exhausted. i saw how the roofs were blown off the tents due to the strong wind. refugees do not have warm clothes or blankets to keep their children warm. i saw how people to their destroyed houses, among the ruins they searched for old clothes and blankets. clothes are not included in humanitarian cargoes that arrive in gas during the cease-fire regime. conditions here are deplorable, especially for children. people are worried that the war may start again tomorrow. they hope that the truce regime will continue. so people got tired from ongoing hostilities. already about 50 days. so, the key thing that is happening in the war

between israel and the hamas group is that the truce, which lasted for four days, agreed to extend it for two more days. this was announced by qatar , qatar, the mediator of this agreement, israel has not yet officially confirmed this, but previously israeli representatives stated that they are ready to extend the ceasefire in the gas sector if hamas continues to release hostages. in four days, there will be a ceasefire. hamas released 39 israeli hostages, in return, israel released 117 palestinian prisoners. israel has been waging war against hamas, which controls the gas sector, after palestinian militants attacked israeli settlements on october 7. this conflict has been going on for a month and a half and this is the first such truce since the beginning of the fighting. well, that's the end of our issue, read more news on our website bbc.ua. see you tomorrow.

youtube and facebook. for those who are currently watching us on these platforms. please subscribe to our pages on these platforms and also like this video. during the program, we conduct survey, we are asking you today whether you trust the head of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, yes, no. if you are sitting in front of the tv, you can pick up the phone and vote by calling. if yes, 0800 2011-381, no, 0800-211-382 , everything is up to... just two buttons on youtube: yes, no, or if you have a different opinion of your own, leave it under this video, in the comments. today we have three people's deputies visiting us, victoria syumar, a people's deputy of ukraine, european solidarity faction. mrs. victoria, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on our air. solomiya bobrovska, people's

deputy of ukraine, voice faction. i congratulate you, mrs. solomiya. thank you. that you joined our broadcast. glory to ukraine, congratulations. and yelyzaveta yasko, people's deputy of ukraine, servant of the people faction. mrs. elizaveta, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, as we start our conversation after the announcement of our survey, ladies, we're just trying to understand what our people think, do they support, of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, and this is of course connected with this discussion. which started just a few days ago, first david rahamia, now i mentioned zaluzhnyi again, actually your colleague, uh, forgive me, mariana bezula, we talk about her all the time, to be honest, there is nothing to talk about actually, this and that

, what she writes, but she demands the resignation of the head of the armed forces of ukraine, that's how... to perceive this public debate, in which both arachamia and bezugla lead society, we need a leader, a diligent, whether or not it is necessary, what claims there are to him, and whether it is necessary in society at all, for a broad discussion, or after all, during the war, the topic of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, it is, after all, a topic of e, professional, behind the scenes, of people who are fighting, people who make important... political and state decisions. let's start with victoria. mrs. victoria. you know, unfortunately, it seems to me that we began to engage and talk about politics more than about the real problems of the state, because here are all these discussions around resignation valery zaluzhny, it seems to me that they are not about solving problems at the front, unfortunately, because there are many problems and we definitely need

to talk about them, because it is a matter of the survival of each of us, and it is the survival of ukrainian statehood. this is what we need to talk about, here i agree, but is this discussion that you are talking about now specifically about solving the problems of the front, or is it still about solving someone's political problems and tasks, yes, it is precisely for this is what initiated this discussion, but such a discussion would definitely not happen now had to continue, because there are existential problems of the existence of ukrainian statehood, thank you, ms. solemia, despite... everything that this seems to be about, well, the conditional conflict, about which people write and comment quite actively on social networks, the civil power and the military power, civilian and military leaders, what they say they are figuring out among themselves, it concerns the future

of our state, because it concerns the current period of the war, and what bezugla and arahamia say... it concerns next year's plans for 2024 and maryan and david says that these plans should be, we should know about these plans, we do not understand these plans, how to perceive this discussion, which should have been in a more closed space after all, why is it constantly breaking out? well, first of all, i want to remind everyone that in fact , not even a single person present on the air today...' nor a discussion, nor a political struggle with the authorities, despite the fact that we represent various opposition factions or parties, and i really like it. ..' you see that in the 20th month of the war, this political war, it is not the opposition that begins, the authorities are opening this pandora's box, but it is starting not even just politically, it is actually starting to interfere in the military command,

because what is happening in the last few weeks, since the article in timeime, can be called nothing else than such a huge damage, especially marina today escalated and put it all on public air , absolutely not... perhaps i want to remind , precisely from the moment when there was the resignation of one of the commanders, the commander of the special operations forces, without the knowledge of the commander-in-chief, and nothing other than interference it is also impossible to call it, and it ends with the fact that the conflict , which is between them professional, it can be labor, it can be, it can be discussions, yes, but it goes completely outside and demoralizes the ukrainian... city to a huge measure, because i want to remind everyone that the intensity of fighting today at the front in absolutely every direction, starting from kupiensk, kremina, bakhmut, avdiyivka, and further to

zaporizhzhia and kherson is the highest, probably in the last extreme year, and to allow such a policy excessive, on air, is absolutely, harmful, demoralizing, and in fact, will this lead to some kind of criminal liability for what i wrote. let the security service decide, but it is very shameful, it is a shame and it is something that definitely does not contribute to the unity of the state, well, today yuriy gudymenko, one of the co-organizers, co-chairs of the democratic ax, or former co-chair, he is now a military serviceman, and saper, he submitted an application to sbu regarding the statements of marina bezuglloya, at the same time, information appeared in the evening that people's deputy ihor kryvosheev registered the post again in the verkhovna rada of ukraine on the dismissal of maryana bezugla from the position of deputy head of the committee on national security, i understand , mrs. elizaveta, well, this is not the position of the faction, it

is not the position of the party, it is not the position of your entire team, i understand correctly, it is completely the truth, i will honestly tell you that it is really very unfortunate that we constantly focus our attention on very strange things and behavior of certain people, which are not always understandable and descriptive, i want to speak about this quite diplomatically, but including , i don't want to take someone from colleagues who do not represent everyone's opinion to discuss some statements all the time, i'm just scared why this is happening. why is this being picked up so much, why is it starting to make people quarrel with each other, and here i really want to not believe in various conspiracy

theories, but i think that this is definitely not for the benefit of our state, it is in order to stir up discord, to sow some doubt, it definitely does not help us, we need to focus on our own, defend our state, each on... his own front, and i it is very difficult to comment on the fact that someone demands a plan from an employee, when this information, in principle , should be closed, only a very small number of people should know it for security purposes, so here you have to be more critical, think critically, and actually protect our statehood even more. and not to divert our attention to what we do not need to divert our attention to, because it is not in the interests of ukraine, but, but look, the head of the servant of the people faction in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, davyd

arkhamia, said that a clear mobilization plan, which is not available now, we will listen to what david said, and then we will share our impressions, to what extent this process is belarus and stamb. supervised by washington, london, warsaw, embarrassed by berlin, not managed in any way, but with the agreement, that is, they understood, we had a group, a group of security advisers of these countries, our partners, was immediately created, but we gave them information in doses from the point of view lag a little bit of information, that is, so that it does not just flow into you, you saw that everything happened discretely enough, because we just... dosed, the third question that is very hot in the committee, how many more people are being mobilized, is mobresurs, it is known.

if the rotation is to be done, it is necessary to mobilize another half of the people in the country, if not, then they suffer, what to do with it, at least not a long plan, but at least a short one, for a year, give some vision to the military leadership, they say, give a vision , there is no vision, we just live the way we used to live , it does not suit us, if we take the war plan now, by the way, we have been waiting for the committee for a long time, i say look, well, we are on... we public control, democratic control, what should be the war plan, the general staff should draw up a plan for you, well, i don’t know , the warlord was whispering in vain, i’m not talking about private affairs, i’m talking about the institutions, the institution says, i want to fight next year, yes, i have to so many people, so many people i have to let go, because they are already fighting so much that they can't, so let's go, and i need so much money, and you don't

have this plan, and no one has such a plan. ms. victoria, david arahamia asks about the plan mobilization, and in general, what kind of objections does he make, and why does he not ask these questions to the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, in principle, he is the most important during the war? i think, according to the party line, he is not supposed to ask such questions to the supreme commander-in-chief. by the way, i would like to develop this opinion here about the party line, because i... listen to my colleague, and i respect her very much, in fact, but if it is necessary to show that this is not the position of the party, then the party makes an official statement about is that maryana bezuglai's position is not a party, not a position party, the servant of the people, because what we see now, she is really the deputy chairman of the committee, which today is by far the main committee in the verkhovna rada, has access to all secret information, and lately she has generally been entrusted with civilian

control, over, military spheres, here is this working group , we did not send our representatives there, but you delegated to her the right to lead this group, so it is not just saying , you know, here is some person who has nothing to do and scribbles posts on facebook in the evening, this does, well, a prominent representative of the party, who previously headed investigative, well-known, investigative commissions in the verkhovna rada, regarding very important issues for the country with also, important secret information, where they were behind and foreign intelligence and everyone knows her in principle about her closeness with the heads of the president's office, you understand, it must be clearly said then that we will either exclude her from the faction, or at least remove her from the committee, there is even a resolution by venislavsky to recall her from the committee, we will gladly support all these initiatives, if there is the will of the monomajority, but this will

, it seems to me, must be shown in order to show that it is not... these attacks on zaluzhny are coming from the authorities, that it is not the position of the authorities to dismiss the commander-in-chief today and to a large extent expose front, believe me, the reaction of the army will be very unpredictable here, we really saw the situation with the commander of the sso, and the society was outraged, first of all, the fact that people were not explained, and why it happened, for what kind of problems, they are starting to look for reasons about mobilization, reasons for any availability some kind of plan, all that we... today from, well, in your quote by david arachami , i don't know, we had a plan for the 23rd year at all, we had such a plan, we could have foreseen all this, there something was written down, because no one, more than the commander-in-chief, zaluzhny, actually gave any plan to society , unfortunately, he did it through the western media, because in ukraine we avoid serious discussions about the problems at the front, it is not heard in the ukrainian media, and

he wrote all the ekonomst, he wrote five positions of the employee, which must be done immediately, there to things are the line of defense, on which, for example, no decision has been made yet, yes, how to deal with it, there is the question of providing the army with rebs, fpv, drones and other new technologies, and these are really basic technologies of war, there is the question of mobilization , and surely we must jointly find an answer to it, because this is an extremely painful question and it is really, first of all, the most painful for politicians, because it lowers the ratings, let's...' to be frank, but really the army also cannot fight without rotations, that too it is impossible today, because people should simply relax, and it is necessary to understand our resources and from that to develop war scenarios. therefore, let's say, if we have already approached such a crisis situation , let's use it to our advantage, let 's talk professionally inside the parliament, maybe at some closed session, yes, let's have such a conversation about what we need today...
