the release of naama levy, liri albag, daniella gilboa and karina ariev is the second exchange to takece as part of the gaza ceasefire deal. meanwhile, crowds of palestinians turned out in the west bank to welcome two buses carrying detainees released from two israeli prisons. as part of the ceasefire deal, thousands of displaced gaza residents were supposed to be allowed to return to the north of the strip today. but israel has so far prevented them crossing into the north until a female civilian hostage, arbel yehud, is released. israel says she should have been freed today. we have this report from our middle east correspondent lucy williamson. in a theatre of war, the theatre of victory. cheering four israeli soldiers escorted by hamas to a specially built stage. naama, leary, daniella and karina smiling for the cameras. after 15 months in captivity, theirfreedom signed moments before. hostages taken by brute force, released with a pen. back home in israel, they watched them freed. tension breaking into relief. into tears. the childhood friends of leary clinging together as she app

karina ariev, daniella gilboa, naama levy and liri albag will be released on saturday. — a new world record. we'll talk live to a german engineer who's spent four months living underwater. all of that is coming up. now with all the latest sport, here's tanya. hello from the bbc sport centre. novak djokovic says he may have played his final australian open after he was forced to retire injured in his semifinal against alexander zverev. he had heavy strapping on his upper left leg after injuring it in his quarterfinal — but fought hard to take the opening set to a tie break. after zverev won it 7—5, djokovic decided the pain was too intense to continue. as he conceded defeat to the second seed, some of the fans booed him as he left court for what may be the last time in melbourne. there is a chance, i willjust have to see, yeah, how the season goes and i want to keep going. but whether i am going to have a revised schedule or not for the next year, i am not sure. i normally like to come to australia and play and i have had the biggest success in my career here. so if i am

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

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
