but daniella gilboa also releasing karina ariev today.eir family members have, we've been told the israeli government has released photos of their reunion with their parents, and they are quite moving. indeed, one can imagine how long these families have waited to see their daughters, so we will wait to see how much access. last week we had quite a bit of access and very closely were able to watch how these trucks were driving by with the the female hostages in them last week. i think this is a bit more cordoned off this time around, but we do see from the camera there that angle of these hostages coming out of the helicopter. we're expecting a second helicopter to land as well. >> yeah. bianna, those pictures. i hope we can turn around those pretty quickly for our audience, because seeing these expressions on the faces of these families, from the moment that you were with one family and they were watching on television to having her back in their arms. i mean, it really does give you chills to now know that they are together. we're watch

daniella as part of the deal, we also saw the release of 200 palestinian prisoners by israel. >> with us now is khalid elgindy. he's a visiting scholar at georgetown university center for contemporary arab studies and the author of the book blind spot on the history of america and the palestinians. good to see you. i want to start with today's events. you know, we saw hamas fighters essentially parading those hostages, you know, up through the streets and then on stage before they were actually handed off to the red cross. what did you take away from that moment well, a couple of things. >> i mean, first, it's it's not insignificant at all that this exchange took place. um, even though we're we're just one week into this, uh, phase one of the ceasefire, the fact that we've now seen two rounds of captives being released on both sides, that's encouraging. that's promising. um, it's still very, very early. um, there's a lot that could go wrong in the coming days and weeks. um, but but at least the main pieces of the exchange, um, have been fulfilled as part of the ceasefire plan. um, the

daniella ralph reporting. a standoff between police and investigators trying to execute an arrest warrant for a suspended president yoon, and the presidential guard. this has happened before, that previous standoff lasted for about five hours before the police withdrew, but the latest we are hearing from the presidents lawyers is that they say the arrest warrant is invited and that the execution, therefore, of that warrant is illegal, but the police believe they do have a legal arrest warrant and are chained to execute it, so a standoff, another standoff, taking place the south korean capital, with both supporters and opponents, critics of the president, gathered around the presidential palace. we will keep you right up to date with any further developments there. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. strong winds are forecast to return to los angeles, threatening to undermine the progress made against the city's wildfires. forecasters are expecting gusts of more than 70 miles per hour — about

daniella. >> as part of the deal, 200 palestinian prisoners were released by israel. cnn's jeremy diamond is in tel aviv. jeremy, i mean, this was an event really, for all to see, right? especially the hostages being released by hamas, parading them out on the street there before the stage. what was the message that was being sent in that moment? >> it truly. >> was a remarkable moment. and hamas, clearly taking advantage of the fact that it has the world's attention on it as it is releasing these hostages. wave after wave today in particular, we saw a lot of the pageantry of this hamas propaganda event, as they had these four female israeli soldiers who have been captive for more than 15 months, emerged from these hamas vehicles, be taken up onto a stage where they were then smiling and waving at a crowd. this is obviously hamas's way of trying to suggest that these women, who've been held against their will for 15 months were not mistreated, but rather were treated well and are quite happy with their captors. that obviously is happening under duress. in their final

for the moment, what we understand is that these four newly freed israeli hostages, karina ariev daniella gilboa, naama levy and liri albag, they are all at a military base in southern israel, the military base where we believe that they have now been reunited with their mothers, and shortly thereafter they will be flown by military helicopter to a hospital here in the tel aviv area, capping 15 months of uncertainty, 15 months of anguish for their families. and shortly thereafter, we expect israel to begin to release some 200 palestinian prisoners, many of whom are serving life sentences. because this time we're talking about the release of israeli hostages, and israel is paying what can be described as a steeper price for their release. of the 50 palestinian prisoners being released for each of those hostages, 30 of them are serving life sentences and they will be released today. now, we do have questions about what the next steps will be inside the gaza strip. we expected that today, people in gaza who have been displaced from their homes in the north of the strip, would be allowed to r
