and i think to eamonn's point, it should be celebrated that there could be a tentative peace, that lives could be saved in this peaceful period, that hostages could be returned. but in terms of your level of optimism about this, holding through stages two and three, which seem tricky even on paper, to say nothing of the realities that ayman just outlined. where are you on this? >> i mean, i, i wouldn't say i'm optimistic. i'm hopeful. let's put it that way. i mean, look, the relief for the people of gaza is extraordinary. and you see it on the streets and just getting aid in just having some peace for some period of time is transformational from what they've been through. however, there are massive questions. alex and ayman teed up some of them. who is going to be responsible for the governance of gaza? who is going to be responsible for the security of gaza? hamas is not destroyed, as was the stated objective of the israeli military campaign. there's still hamas negotiated this. they agreed to it. right. and so one concern you might have looking at the situation for palestinians is host

i there's no way of knowing, frank, but we can tell you this what eamonn's talking about, how busy reagan national is and that airspace is there. there has been a tug of war, especially over the last 10 to 15 years between the airlines and the city of washington, d.c, and residents in that area, because there's so much demand to fly right in close to downtown d.c. that the airlines have been requesting. let's add more flights, let's add more flights. and i've been on a number of these flights. eamon flies out of there all the time. and you can bet that somewhere down the line, not today, not tomorrow. the focus today and tomorrow is on the incident and what happened here. but down the road there will be questions about how much air traffic can go into or should go into and out of reagan national, because the airlines see the demand there. there are plenty of people. in this case, it was a flight from wichita, a direct flight, plenty of people who want to fly as close as possible to downtown dc. and that's why the airlines have been increasing flights. all right. our own eamon javers, than

eamonn mauldin, thank you as well. we'll be watching eamonn on weekends at 7 p.m. again right here. >> that's like a tiktok guy. >> that's how can i use that in the promo for the show? >> absolutely, i like it just the one night. eamonn. for those who didn't. i like the madonna. >> that's good. >> it's cool. >> one name madonna venmo. >> all right. still ahead we have more about the hall of fame broadcasting career of the late bob uecker. pablo torre joins us to talk about that. and a preview of the divisional round of nfl playoffs. morning joe is coming right back. >> hey, ryan reynolds here for, i guess, my 100th mint commercial. no no no no no no no no no no i mean it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. i mean, honestly, when i started this, i thought i only have to do like four of these. how are there still people paying 2 or 3 times that much? i'm sorry, i shouldn't be victim blaming here. yeah. anyway, it's still $15 a month, so whatever. still $15 a month, so whatever. you're ready. follow my finger without turning your head. no, just follow with y

a very good morning to you i'm eamonn holmes, i'm ellie costello and this is gb news breakfast with eamonnnd ellie. we had a good day yesterday and plenty of decent response to it. liam, the fellow who goes around the country cleaning road signs, is absolutely brilliant. have we got an example of liam cleaning a road sign? no no no no. anyway, he's got a big hose and he. >> i heard that he's. he sprays the road signs and they all look marvellous. they do. and it makes. >> makes me feel. i find him on instagram and it makes me feel good. >> and the sign guy? yes. and you broke the inbox yesterday in response to liam cleaning that sign live on air. >> so this got us thinking. this got us thinking, paul. if it makes us feel good and getting positive news is very, very difficult. >> of course. >> of course. >> why can't we do more of this? why can't we find more liam's? not necessarily people with big houses, but. but people who do something that get us looking, get us viewing, getting us being voyeuristic about this thing and forgetting our troubles. eamonn. >> ellie, i do something for the p

[10 money. >> no money. >> it's dark, it's all rubbish. so this is the day. christmas was a long time ago. it feels. >> it does, doesn't it? >> it does, doesn't it?

i agree with you, eamonn. had people been able to speak openly about this, had more information come to light then that could have put an end to the speculation, that could have put an end to the nasty rumours attaching this to muslims, for instance. i mean, that was one of the first things that was one of the first things that happened in, in southport was people attacked a mosque totally, you know, has absolutely nothing to do with this tragedy whatsoever. even now, it seems, in the wake that he downloaded now, it seems, in the wake that he downloiifed now, it seems, in the wake that he downloiif you had have told differently if you had have told the people 1571 00:0
