ceremony has come to an end and the minutes of the memorandum of hands or has been handed to the international red cross staff. okay so as we speak so they they, you are watching the red cross officials after having signed some documents with the mouse of officials on the ground. they're not preparing to receive the 3rd captive, keith siegel who were expecting to come out of that civilian vehicle. honey, my mood is on the ground for his honey. what are you seeing from where you are as well as soon as the cars fall then? so they are yacht the red cross bundle assembly by 3rd got on the phase, the did the 30 paper work and i filled out the paperwork for under sign. went back and now he did see go is out of the big on the executive the vehicle and now he is going off the stage for this plan. over here, off you're look into background. people are cheering. good. what's my guys a moment still valid with? do you think you're right here on the case during your back and his number is also have that identification card right handed out of over there. right now in between is waiting. yes. a crowd on his right. a

so due to be released today, once the red cross has the tool cuts through what happens next? and that's right. the international committee of the red cross is on their way to retrieve these 3 is really captive civilian men. and once they're handed over to the red cross, they will then be driven across the border into israel to the e mail air base in the southern part of israel, which is right near the guns a board or so at this military base. they will be given an initial medical evaluation i d verification to check that this is in fact this person and then an initial medical and psychological evaluation. they will be reunited with immediate family. they are one or 2 members of their family before their finally air lifted. it to a hospital in central israel right outside of tel would be both of these really military. the health ministry and the hospitals themselves have said that they have been prepared for the release of these captives. it's a choreographed system that's been in place actually not just since the beginning of this ceasefire deal, but actually since november of 2023 during the 1st and only cease

it's through the international committee of the red cross. also, i do have and we can right now see that police officers are securing the way out for the members of the international committee of the red cross. once they leave from the side, a mazda fight. so right now was sitting next to the member of the international committee of the course, signing the papers in order to make sure that the names on identity is of the captives are matching all descriptions that they have to start right now personally . so you think the release of the palestinian prisoners in the uh is really jails. know that to be re united again with the families we need to remind our view is again and everyone was watching us right now. that's the hand over of the really the of the is very tough to got to is taking place in the city of hon. you and it's, it's a the 2nd largest city in the gaza strip. that has been widely invited by the is very military and which also is really top military leaders have announced that they managed to manage. sally dismantled the infrastruc

we can see that the cause of the international committee of the red cross are lined up. they are waiting right now to carry out a very smooth and an easy release of the is very comfortable spot. so now the captives did not show and release and the sides of the, of the release of the hand or above the is very captive. now the military fighters are not quotes, anything with the members of the international committee of the red cross. there were the same stuff and was responsible for a 100 and old by the is very captives during the previous release in the same city here. in the central con, you in a spot what is so dominating today is the very uh, well sophisticated for patients that were made in this mary box. its area was all secure, its images and procedures that have been made. and now we can see that the ministry of fighters with their most uh faces are trying to deploy more in the area. they are organizing everything with the power of sending a flag with aflac over the many true ingle from us and with their vehicles that are almost done by for any further development.

those 3 mail is really civilians captive appearing on that stage for the hand over to the international red cross previous hyundai. but as we've seen, the red cross officials signing that release way, then the competence gets into a convoy of red cross vehicles to be taken to the is right in the border where they then get lifted out to a hospital in central as well. so we have costs are going to be keeping very close eye on events that and that i'll follow just for the moment that we're going to go now to join honey mockingbird. he's in the galls of city for so this is just a little bit north of darrow bhalla and i just want to get an idea of what the mood is. uh, with this latest exchange eminence. um, is this thanks for holding? well laura, we are very engaged with it at the fitness center near to the complex uh, complex were just 1st exchanged off is really cops, is that uh happened the 1st time. the 1st batch of, of the top is on palestinian destinies were released from this area earlier. it was these really copies. and later out on that date, the policy, the deputies were released or not the

that's right john, we understand that the vehicles of the international red cross have now arrived in deir al-balah in central gaza. those images that you can see live of red cross vehicles there. hamas having cordoned off an area where there is a crowd of hundreds of gazans who are watching this scene as a scene very similar to the ones that we have seen play out over the last few weeks. this is the first time, however, that these hostages are being released in central gaza. we have seen releases in the northern part of the strip before in southern gaza as well. but this is the first time that we are seeing one in central gaza, and that is likely an indication of where these hostages have been held until this moment. we are still awaiting for the vehicles. the hamas unit vehicles carrying those hostages to actually arrive at that square. but the fact that the red cross vehicles are there, that the stage has been set, indicates that that could happen now, at any moment. a reminder on the three hostages we expect to be released today. you have ohad ben ami, who was taken from kibbutz a

thomas miller since handing those 2 hostages fast to the international red cross. seeing if it will fall more organized than the kale to come do. but we, so just a few days ago, this is when a female is rarely hostage was being handed over and crowds who bang and beckoning at her, which of course led to huge criticism within israel. now, under the deal of this release this weekend, for those 3 is really hostages, 3 men, a 183 palestinians. detainees offset to beat freed late to own with waiting for the details of that. let's head straight to them. at least 2 or 3 were chase that maria phenomena who can take is through the ongoing details now of that 412 and i'm not sure. was there any difference from what we've seen during the previous exchanges to you? well, let me just tell you 1st where i am, we are in your mom. i'm probably signs to say to a massive crowds have started gathering since early morning preparing to welcome tele students, please. it are reset to be released on sunday. their families, of course, eagerly anticipating the return of their loved ones and

as are handed over to the international committee of the red cross who hands them over to these really army ones is really territory. and no need is a delay on either side is always being wondering when we've gone through this process before. but this is, i would imagine is going to be a relief not only for the families if these are the captives. and of course, the families and friends of the palestinian prisoners, but also of course, for palestinians, particularly who have been really getting more concerned that this these far may collapse. absolutely, you mean this delay alone, which only lasted about 2 hours was nerve wracking for palestinians. let's remember that nearly 2000000 palestinians of the 2.3 who reside in gaza had been forcibly displaced. they don't have the tense, they don't have the shelter. they don't have the necessary aid to survive. and the more that the cease fire can hold. the more hold they can have that aid will fluid and that they would have access to tons or to care of, of the hospitals that have been designated in jobs that would be able to re supply and rebu

crossing into kaiser itself. this exchange shall come to us for prisoners, all being orchestrated by the international committee of the red cross. we understand that at least so full of those promising is released from is ready to tension. have because of the poor condition that they were in a being send to hospital for immediate medical attention. one of the male, the youngest, 21, the oldest, 61. 18 of them being serving life sentences for committing a number of attacks. of uh, 7 of them we understand will be deported as part of this arrangement. so many of them coming originally from off of prison and the occupies westbank. so interesting all sorts of notes that most of the palestinians, the prisoners who were detained from gaza were being released at the moment uh, were handled and then a tourist kept seal present in the negative desert. if you've been following developments over the past few months, i think is isaac regarding the treatment of palestinians, and it's ready to attention that particular facility and several others in the negative deserts was subject to an investigation 5. but some of these are the human

okay, clearly we are expecting that the international committee of the red cross vehicles will soon come to the side of the release as the problem says, it is expected to start once they are able to reach the side. now these thoughts of reparation. just the issue that the international committee of the cross will easily receive is by the captive in order to move them back to the is really a minutes where, you know, that's on the go. i'm initial medical check. all we need to remind all of you is that use what is the miniature room, how much employee different medical stuff to complete assessing the medical health and the fitness of these when it comes to is before that release in order to ensure that they will return back in a good health condition to best families and post completely different to the scenes of palestinians were released from the it's been a presence. they usually released being completely exhausted, tired and suffering from different physical on site political cause that will need time to be recovered. absolutely, this is the situation in the field. now. these for patien

there will be some kind of ceremony, we presume, and from there they'll be taken to by the international red cross in three different vehicles to the border and from there to the military base, and flown on to hospitals across israel. just what their condition is right now. we do not know how long their recovery will be is also unknown at this point. other hostages who have been released after such a long time in captivity have taken weeks to recover. there's also the psychological and traumatic stress that they have endured throughout these for more than a year, where they've been held often with no satellite. um, also no fresh air, that kind of thing. many have been. many have died also while they've been held by hamas. and of course, we are now moving closer to this moment of freedom for three israeli hostages. we are expecting at least two of them to be released here in deir al-balah in gaza. another one could be released in gaza city any moment now. in the meantime, i would like to end our coverage over now to kim brunhuber, who will pick it up right now. thank you. >> and welcome to all of y

uh, once they hand over to the international committee of the red cross to the european hospital, just to witness the celebratory seems to be re union or policy of prisoners with the families who are wanting desperately now. for them in the opposite sides of the doctor said in the southern thoughts or guitar to nora, i cannot describe literally the seeing us it's, it's overwhelmingly very thomas. so billy, and despite all sorts of coming up to the sides of minutes, read some say that there you have most. they completely celebrated the scene as they have never been on the or the uh, its value. i've touched on the moon, i'm months on top of stations 5 by 7 different. so it's up to the sides of the west. completely carried out those children women. and they just the fusion that they have miss once the mother to a direction on the ground up in touch and talk to but more than 2 months ago we need to remind i'll do is that i can see literally women children. those are the least um, people who have most of the level 2 types of things here today to celebrate the scene. this is a very the story

they will be received at by the delegation from the international committee of the red cross who will deliver them to the is really army within israel proper, after which they will undergo medical examinations and be debriefed and then unite or re unite with their families. once that process concludes, and then the process of palestinian prisoners released or d e or anxiety from the occupied at west bank will begin. families will gather most likely in my left to receive those who will be released to the occupied west bank and gaza. most likely they will be gathering in southern gaza to receive the palestinians from gaza, who were taken after october. the 7th day will by then know their names, and usually they're taking straight to hospital because as we've seen in the past, they're usually in a very dire conditions and they would require medical attention. but each saturday is a highly charged, a very emotional for all involved because it is, you know, a moments that families have waited for it for many, many years. and among those will be released from the palestinian side. are a peo

this is ramada and you don't get 5 west by a coach from the international committee of the red cross, the bringing palestinians. detain these prisoners from the office of prison. that to the amount of a large crowd of people gathered that to see the 1st batch of palestinian prisoners of appeal 5 coach posting secuity you understand moving people away. that is really what i want to use to being very, very keen to avoid this. turning into a show strengths, potentially for a mass of out of have a senior on groups. it also seems all to relation in celebration for 18 to stage manage this, but clearly um its a huge challenge of cost to keep large number of numbers. that kind of thing is and ramallah away from seems like this. there we go. the 1st, the whole set to take the 1st step. so let's just listening to see right the way we have what appears to be the 1st person to be for us the coach carried by looks like a to remember the passing security there. remember the, the red cross, natalie? my, we know the oldest person to be released out of this a $183.00. and a group of prisoners is 61 ye

b, a, c, e, and the specialized agencies documented by representatives of the international committee of the red cross. and will become a subject of investigation by international human rights mechanisms, including non governmental organizations. well, for my pentagon senior security policy, unless michael believe, says caps, attempts to blame most go for the military atrocities on a parent cover up. this is all part of a propaganda war by the ukrainians are desperate. they want to say they want to show that to you. they want to suggest that the russians were firing on their, of finding on their own people and, and they had actually set up uh, uh, had actually done that and bodies can book and blamed it on the ukrainians when in fact it is just the opposite is a very desperate move by the ukrainians to uh, to do this. and it is a and i suggest a cover up of what they did do. and this others in the m a. m a. this other city in the course screeching which was described earlier. they're trying to terrorize the population in the, in the course career gym and that's very clear all of their targets for the

prisoners have arrived to the review and hospital where we are at the moment, the international committee of the red cross as managed to transport the public opinion. the prisoners will have been scheduled to be released today. we are attempting about approximately a 150 pounds of sydney and prisoners who are right now inside these buses and waiting to be re united again with the families, we can see them or from behind, disagrees as they are trying to wait a wave to their family members that are speaking with them and these buses because they have been completely separated from them behind the is ready past for decades . the son inquisitively, a very overwhelming and emotional scene at the moment as it can. so, you know, these buses on a right now, we tend to hear the celebration, married, or the, our families or the club, a city in prison, those are sort of right thing. they're not return from the is very j. u is, we are expecting that the prison is with i'm the go in mega to check about the international committee of the risk within a few minutes. as you can see, it's a very overwhelming until you see

and these have been transported to the gaza strip under the supervision of the international committee of the red cross. they have been re unite to the gun with assembly members were waiting desperately for them in the courtyard of the rookie and hospital. but this re union has been quite, quite mocked by a bite to sweet sentiment that up the vast majority of do so were released today. you have lost their homes, their loved ones, friends, and family members bought for them. this is a special moment of reunion for jubilation. and for the celebration that has been widely, that have been widely seen across the entire gaza strip palestinians believe that as long as they will be fed the prussia made by regional mitigates is to bridge the gap weed from us. and isabel, regarding the 2nd phase, they believe that i'd be durable, that you have the ceasefire with homeless and continue as the prey is a sites all heading to the 2nd round of negotiations that will enabled palestinians to witness the isabel incomplete with the trouble from the gaza strip um the acceleration of the reconstruction efforts by the origin

here on out 0 of 3 is really male captives have been handed over by home us to the international committee of the red cross. they are now on the way home. the next stage today will be the release of $183.00 palestinian prisoners in rich hon. that is why we will be returning to our extensive, comprehensive ongoing coverage of the events, the in garza and in the occupied westbank later today. the out of the new south and east african leaders are meeting in tons and they're trying to find a way to the fuse. the ongoing crisis and the democratic republic of congo, kenya, has called for all groups to stop fighting. so a peace agreement can be reached rondon present. polk odami joined in person, has congress council conflict such a katie appeared via video cool rolanda. in fact, i'm 23 levels to the may just as you've got my last week, rebels have kept top 3rd vaults, despite declaring humanitarians seize 5. thousands of people have died in the offensive view and says, 900 bodies were discovered in the all say of to days of fighting. i'll come with has this report. it was the numbers of people killed and injured

to know the international committee of the red cross, which as you know is central to the release is on both sides because their staff, their trucks and the trust generally the people having them is all being used. it's all central to these release is they are the ones who will pick these really captives and drive them out of gaza, hand them over to israel. they're also the ones that take the past in prisoners driving the amount of offer and release them to gaza or to ramallah. so the i c r c says quote that they are increasingly concerned about the conditions surrounding release operations. we strongly urge all parties to ensure that future releases or dignified and private your thoughts on that to get what i think. so what my thoughts are, i think the best thing and is this, the instructions are actually teaching the use of as 80 percent. there's anybody that can divide session. in fact, i would actually go further and saying that, and we've heard the distant statements by the previous award that came in and you all get into who said that as amy does even had intentionally an issue

what completely transported to the gaza strip by the international committee of the red cross. the scenes once they have been completely undergoing the medical check. these medical checks have approved that they were suffering from severe acute long nutrition with different signs of torch. have been seen on the bodies, including the legs and the hands, due to the very per long period of detention which they have seen different physical and psychological tutor by the is barely j. u authorities and the security forces will have stormed the vast majority of the detention camps and conduct a wide range of abusive and aggressive images against those palestinian udette's any use. but today they have were united again. this re union has been widely applied to suite re union, given the fact that the bus majority of them have lost their beloved ones, their friends and family members, and treat 10 to a landscape that had been widely shifted and devastated due to the is really previous military peroration in that territory and we are expecting that within the next week we will see a new b

it kept tips to the international committee of the red cross in 2 different locations tomorrow in the gaza strip. and they will try to guarantee that there is going to be no sort of delay for the release of the palestinian prison is in order to be re united again with the family members. we need to remind of us such thoughts of hand overs and release as operations usually made on the very strict security badges to guarantee the safety of full parties involved in the operation. terry cubism, alger 0 con you and us palestine. monetary agencies a warning that the aid entering the gaza strip is insufficient to respond to the needs of 92000000 of students. on the safe spot agreements, $200000.00 tenths was supposed to be allowed into garza. but only 10 percent of those have arrived. the sofa and none of the $60000.00 mobile homes have been delivered, is riley, is also accused of blocking the entry of heavy equipment need to cover bodies trumped onto the level. is not, it said these rarely armies, denial of the delivery of heavy equipment and machinery into the guns and strip which is requi

the international committee of the red cross, who facilitate the handover, they didn't comment on thatt they did say that in future they want the handover to be more dignified and in private. but i think it's important to point out that it isn'tjust the israeli side that have had complaints about the condition people are being handed over in. palestinian agencies as well, including the palestinian red crescent, say that all of the 183 people who were handed over had some sort of medical problems, and that seven of them needed hospital treatment. so they too have been keen to emphasise the bad we're talking here both israeli hostages and palestinian prisoners. so what does this all mean for the ongoing ceasefire? well, we're currently in stage one. that is holding, but it's feeling fairly fragile at this point. there are going to be talks taking place. the israelis are sending a delegation to qatar. it's there where the mediators are, and they're going to talk about some technical elements. and then the hope is they will move on to talking about stage two. of the remaining hostages. but

that's the international committee of the red cross. and they are driven to ramallah. that's the scene that you are seeing now now of the 183111 are supposed to be sent back to gauze. the reason being that they were captured and taken in gaza since october 7th, 2023. they were among the palestinians, were taking him guys, so they should be sent back the guys to ask for the deal. all of this is unfolding . ask for the terms of a deal that was negotiated between israel and homos over a prolonged period of time. we know that the negotiations broke down way more often than they actually succeeded. but what we're seeing today is the result of a successful negotiation that was mediated by the us, by egypt, by guitar. that happens in 3 phases. and right now we're not quite in the middle of phase one. phase one is 6 weeks long, 42 days it will end on march 1st. and that phase one will see the release of 33 is really captives in exchange for roughly 1900 palestinian prisoners. this is supposed to take place every saturday. now, there was a change to the plan recently this week

captives are handed over by fighters and from us as military when the assembly gave the international committee of the red cross drove them over the israel guns of border where they are currently after the base, which is a military base in southern israel. for the is really military, they're, they're being reunited with the medias. members of their family, an under going what they are they having medical evaluations, but these are initial ones. and what we're hearing from is really media is that they don't need any sort of immediate, larger medical attention, but none the less they will then be, are listed to a hospital to be re united with more members of their family. more loved ones, people who know them and they'll stay there for a couple of days. this is the system that's been in place by these really government and the health ministry for quite some time. and it's not just throughout the entirety of this deal that we've seen this. it actually happened back in november of 2023 during the 1st ceasefire. deal that took place, there was the system in place for receiving these captives. and ultimately, when th

showings of control procedures to ensure that the over of is valid captives to the international committee of the red cross will go smoothly without any sort of assumptions by local civilians who came here to the bucket drug, we can save them weights and desperately towards the hand over of those concepts. also, we need to remind all of us that is very minutes. we drones have been whole ring since of the hours of this morning, and this was an old, that's all of us. the supervisor, the release of the is very top tips we are expecting that up please. 2 of those top tips will be released from this area. as this preparations have been made on one of the roads that has subaru, symbolic meanings and indications, especially that 2 are only a few kilometers away from the re cradle. whether use very military troops. aust, patient the movements and right now on the ground defense preparations and procedures were made by the security of fights is an order to release those captives. darren, yeah. target and let's just remind you of us. that's the most of the palestinian prisoners who will be released today are actuall

different sorts of preparations made by the international committee of the red cross, which is responsible for delivering there is a palestinian present as to the gaza strip as we have uh completely unders understood that uh the i c r c managed to carry out and to do pre departure interviews for the palestinian prison is in order to confirm the identities and to access their health condition and the fitness for the trip back to the gaza strip. they have deployed at 2 missions. one right now is indeed a repeated hospital and the other one is waiting for palestinian prisoners income asylum of course. and once they will have the permission from the is what the authorities to make the journey into the gaza strip. they will be immediately transported to the european hospital in order to finish their medical procedures in order again to have the chance to be through united again with the family members. and uh, overall, we are expecting the release of the 150, posted in prison is a 111 of them were detained by the is with the military fully october. the 7th type 2023. and we are talking about th

debts and these have been transported to the gaza strip under the supervision of the international committee of the red cross. they have been re unite to the gun with assembly members were waiting desperately for them in the courtyard of the rookie and hospitable by this re you and you, it has been quite, it quite mocked by a bite to sweet sentiment that up. the vast majority of do so were released today. you have lost their homes, their loved ones, friends, and family members bought for them. this is a special moment of reunion for jubilation. and for the celebration that has been widely, that have been widely seen across the entire gaza strip sized tie caps is released from gauze, have begun their journey home. the group was taken during her master's october 7th attack and held industry for 15 months. the freed and the 3rd exchange and have been attend, is ready, hospital for medical examinations. one of the time that she was going to do the in dose is where they need to are reporting the minutes. she has begun this drawing from the next room, colorado in garza, and it says 5 deal. a deadline for them to d

after when you're seeing now they will be handed over to the employees from the international committee of the red cross who were previously on that stage, signing the release documents. they'll be driven over the israel guards of order where they will be taken to and is really military base that a base in the southern part of the country for an initial medical check and identification verification. and they'll be reunited with immediate family there. and then they will be flown to a hospital by a helicopter, in central israel until a be where they will be reunited with the rest of their loved ones and then stay for an extended period of time depending on their medical and psychological needs. this is an incredibly choreographed system that's been in place, not just since the beginning of the ceasefire deal, but also since november of 2023. when we saw the 1st cease fire deal go into place . this is in coordination with these really military and the health ministry that has set up different hospitals, different wins of hospitals for privacy, for these captives for their families. so they are well equipp

that thursday, one endured chaos in the crowd to reach the international committee of the red cross andy after 482 days. on saturday, hamas released another nir oz resident. but without his wife and his two children, one kidnapped at just nine months old, the youngest hostage who spent the majority of his life in captivity, israelis fear they have not survived. >> we remember the picture of her standing here under this bush, with a blanket, and crying. >> like everyone here, she remembers that moment like a flashbulb. the house frozen in time, the ransacked placing. and the home, still haunted by harbor, the neighbor's house where a woman was forced at gunpoint to watch her husband be murdered before being kidnapped herself. >> when i come out of the kibbutz, i always take a shower come a long shower, because i think about all these people who were murdered here and all the pain and sadness. i remember the fear/. >> but>> she's on the other side of the community debate, she wants to preserve the damage, so the world cannot doubt or deny. >> i think the house should be kept as they are,

and what we saw in the images of in gaza was, of course, the transfer to the international committee of the red cross, the icrc. and that's something, by the way, that is under threat. the icrc are being defunded by the new u.s. administration, and we're seeing today just what a vital role, indispensable role they play, not only here but in many parts of the world. >> yeah, that's a good point as well. i appreciate you bringing us those details about what the people were were yelling there in in hostage square in tel aviv, something that they've been a chorus they've been shouting for months and months, as many have been protesting against the netanyahu government as well, to try and pressure him to bring home more hostages. as we see the crowds now, uh, moving around and dispersing as we saw the release, finally, of keith siegel, the third of the hostages to be released today. um, i want to ask you about this process here. this is now the fourth successful hostage transfer and release of palestinian prisoners. um, next week, hamas and israel are meant to begin negotiating the second phase of the cea

list of red lines, not to be crossed, should the president cross these red lines. such actions will inevitably lead to political instability in our country. and the deterioration of international relations along the sacred red lines are supporting the russian orthodox church and revising laws connected to language and education that might, in any way protect russians. even holding peace. negotiations with russia is a no go for the countries own government. it goes to shows the lensky did exactly as he was told, considering the current band on negotiations, and all the anti russian legislation passed during his term compared with his rhetoric for the campaign trail, just as the virtual green article 10 of the constitution of ukraine says ukrainian is the official language, the country and the government must support and develop the russian and the minority languages. it's not necessary to try to suppress them to try to suppress the russian language. okay. me, especially in terms of the ukrainian media, they've pretty much all been kept in business this long thanks to usa i. d. so the organizations reason shut down, understandably, has the propagandist shaking in their boots. th

stage of the ceasefire, the status we are currently an actually, we had from the international committee of the red crossy that fridge exchanges should be done in private. what we expect is going to happen is that those that are concluded will move to around the stage as well. ta'kf axed the "ace as e" ~ , ~ ~ , ~ is a much ta'ks axed the "ace as e" ~ , ~ ~ , ~ is a much more ta'ks aeahd the "ace as e" ~ , ~ ~ , ~ is a much more difficult this is a much more difficult to bid. stage one as a ceasefire where it temporaryceaseftrewhara it are being where said are being reduced, where we are now. stage is about d a permanent moving to a permanent ceasefire, permanent peace the two sides and all between the two sides and all remaining 11 hostages are the remaining 11 hostages are released. that was always and going to be difficult and going to be difficult, but to the fact that have 7 "i129; ha} " 7 ”i129; haidthis " 7 have had this intervention we havehad this intervention present off, so much from present off, so much talked about over the last talked aboot'over the last suggesting that gaza week, suggestin
