military occupation at some point in the past. so the treatment of prisoners and the fact that they are all palestinians will view palestinians held in israeli dissension asked political prisoners. two israelis, they are security prisoners into israelis they include some of the most security threat, some of the serious, people who have carried out attacks. there is a a range as well. for example teenage boys accused of throwing stones. and what human rights groups will say is that is really settlers in the same territory of the west bank who carry out those offences, that israel regards as a terrorist offence, they argue that they are not treated in the same way. so the issues of prisoners is very, very important to palestinians. that is why you see among palestinian factions the idea of who has the greatest leverage to get prisoners out is important. in the bitter and often bloodied rivalry between palestinian political groups, that has long been something that they have tried to show what they would see as their strength against the israeli occupation as being a important factor. it is one of the reasons why hamas is always try to get these prisoner exchanges. so in the internal palestinian politics that is an important moment and it is an important moment also for palestinians watching this. because what israel has done is publish a list of 300 names of palestinians who were all eligible for release of the course of that potential nine days. the reason they have done so is to create incentive to create pressure on hamas because they have families who are seeing the names of their loved ones that could potentially be released. that puts pressure on the whole situation and creates a dynamic and incentive to keep this cease—fire and this release of hostages going. keep this cease-fire and this release of hostages going. thank ou, tom release of hostages going. thank you, tom bateman _ release of hostages going. thank you, tom bateman our— release of hostages going. thank you, tom bateman our correspondent injerusalem at the very latest on the releases of both sides of this conflict. i want to take you now to the hatzerim air base in southern israel where we are expecting some is really hostages who were released earlier today. they are at that airbase and we expect them to be airlifted to specialist hospitals across israel. we have a correspondent there standing by who was telling us within the hour that those hostages are there. some will spend the night, at a local hospital to seek medical attention but those who are fit to travel will be taken from their two other specialist hospitals. particularly those young children will be taken to a children's hospital in israel to be checked over more thoroughly. we understand from the israeli authorities that all of those hostages were in relatively good health having been in captivity for so long. but they will take them for more specialist attention elsewhere. we are expecting them to leave there shortly so we will keep an eye. he can see the camera just moving, if there are any development we will take you straight back there. it is also worth remembering as well, on the israeli side of the complex, at the israeli side of the complex, at the same time 39 palestinian prisoners released today, 240 are in a list do to be freed from israeli prisons in the next few days. they include 17—year—old who was arrested include 17—year—old who was arrested in june. include 17—year—old who was arrested injune. his family have had limited contact with him since then. i have been speaking to his aunt. he is actually a very active child. he is actually a very active child. he is actually a very active child. he is full of life. he had many dreams, many goals to achieve and he is actually one of the palestinian cycling team members. injune he was injured with a tear gas canister to the head that cause a fracture in his skull bleed in the brain. so he spent time in the hospital and on the 9th ofjune after he was released from the hospital, the israeli occupation came and arrested him. they took him to interrogation centre in jerusalem. they put him in isolation for 45 days. of course he was already injured and he still needed medical treatment. he still needs his medication which they did not allow him to take. of course, we did not have the chance to talk with him to know what he went through during the interrogation. you described him as a boy who was just 16 when he was detained. do you know and were you told about the reasons for his arrest, what was he accused of? it was many charges and it is a serious one which most of them are fake. it is like manufacturing weapons, shooting live ammunition at soldiers and settlers. we understand he was detained for replacing an explosive device. possession of a weapon. throwing stones. grievous bodily, harm and traffic offences. yet you are saying those allegations are false. it is not the truth. the last accusation was about car fines which, my nephew was still a child. what you know about his release? we understand he is on a list of possibly 150 who could be released but do you have any details about when or if that might happen? today we were waiting the whole day for him to know whether he would be with the freed prisoners today, butjust two hours ago we were told he would not be freed. we are not sure if he would be tomorrow or the day after or the day after. we know his name is on the list, but with israel there is no assurance. what an emotional toll does it take with you, simply not knowing, if or when he will be released? we were talking about 45 days of interrogation, torture, isolation for a child, it is not an easy experience. waiting is like shooting live ammunition at you every second and every minute. we arejust waiting. waiting for news. and this waiting is killing us. speaking to be a little earlier about her 17—year—old nephew, wisam tamimi, who we understand is on the list of palestinian prisoners to be released but as of yet no details as when that will happen. 0n the other side that has been the release of 13 is really hostages today but they are just a fraction of the 240 israelis that have been seized by hamas. many of the relatives and friends have been the last seven weeks have been gathering in tel aviv. gaining strength and support from each other. israel is a place of forced absences — of missing faces staring out on cardboard... ..and paper... ..and t—shirts. and it's here, in what has been described as hostage square in the heart of tel aviv, where the lost are remembered. and where hope burns bright that one day they'll return. in the shadow of the local art museum, relatives and friends of the disappeared gather to gain strength from each other in these worst of times. the art installations reflecting israel's tragedy, like the children's clothes that aren't being worn and the toys no longer played with. one of the artworks here is particularly powerful. the idea is that you look at the posters of some of those who have been kidnapped, being held by hamas, and you come over to this installation and it's a collection of mirrors. and the point is that you stare into the mirror, and you see your own face coming back at you — the idea being that it could have been anyone taken by hamas on that day, that the whole of israel now is in grief, that the whole of israel has to work to get those people back. yarden gonen�*s younger sister romi is being held by hamas. her absence — a void of despair. how important is it for you to be here with people who are going through the same pain? i feel already it's like my second home, cos i'm sleeping here, in the tents. you sleep here as well? yeah, with other families. cos what we believe in, until they are not home, we are not home. i feel like her release is close, you know, i really feel it. you feel it? yeah, in my bones i feel like i'm going to see her. i don't know when but soon enough. it's a yearning consuming a nation — that all the disappeared will soon be home. clive miry with the plight of the family still waiting with news of their loved ones. we will talk with some of the logistics and diplomacy that goes into the release of hostages in just a that goes into the release of hostages injust a moment. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's have a look at some of the other main stories in the uk. west midlands police have been urged to make urgent improvements and will be monitored closely by the government. the inspector of the can stop release at the second largest force in england and wales was not carrying out effective investigations and was failing to manage risk posed by registered six offenders. the chief constable said he completely disagreed with the decision. hundreds of amazon workers have been on strike today. black friday when the business shopping days of the year. hundreds of amazon workers are on strike today, black friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. the gmb union says about a thousand workers have joined the strike in coventry. walk—outs are also planned across europe and the us over a pay dispute. unions say it is the biggest day of industrial action in the firm's history. the world's biggest iceberg is on the move after more than 30 years stuck to the ocean floor. �*a23a' is almost 4,000 square kilometres in area, that's more than twice the size of greater london. it initially split from the antarctic coastline in 1986, but quickly grounded in the weddell sea, essentially becoming an ice island. it initially split from the antarctic coastline in 1986. let's return to some of the diplomacy and negotiations that have allowed the release of hostages and prisoners on both sides of this conflict. we know the first group of hostages have left gaza and are now backin hostages have left gaza and are now back in israel as part of a 40 cease—fire deal between israel and hamas. this was the moment when 24 hostages who had been held by hamas which moved across the border into egypt by the international red cross. earlier i spoke to scott walker, a hostage negotiator and a former adviser to view when in the middle east. he's also authored a book called order out of chaos was the swap of hostages today was the hardest and fragile part of negotiations. the moment where things can go wrong and which is where we saw a slight delay over the last 24 hours because everything needs to be in place. all the sequencing, the logistics, the practical steps, who's doing what, when and where. that all needs to be taken into consideration. and it's difficult in the best of times or in kind of everyday negotiation, negotiations, so to speak. but in this one, where it is such a fragile environment with so much going on and so many people involved, different countries, different nationalities, it doesn't really get much more challenging than this. yes, and you touched on it there, but the difficulty is making sure that both sides honour their commitments, isn't it? and and how is that negotiated? how do you handle that? because we know there was a finite window, i think two hours that israel had to release those palestinian detainees after it had confirmed the release of the israeli hostages. yeah, absolutely. and so everything would have been calculated in terms of the timings. and it doesn't need much to derail this, which is why i've always exercised or urged caution here, because both sides have their fingers on the trigger and there's so many things that could still go wrong. and so you're right, there are strict timeframes here, but it's essential that trust, as much as it can be, is maintained here through the intermediaries in qatar and the egyptians. we know, too, that this is about which side has the upper hand in negotiations. and at the moment, hamas is, of course, using that release of hostages in a very limited fashion, spreading them over a number of days, trying to play its hand and using that as leverage in these negotiations. we know, too, that israeli authorities have said they'll extend four extra days that cease fire if more hostages are released. for extra days that cease fire if more hostages are released. but the question once again, does that hand hamas too much power in this negotiation? well, whether or not it's the upper hand or not, that is for hamas and for israel to determine. and both sides enter into a negotiation knowing what it is they're willing and able to pay, so to speak, to give up in order for what they want from the other side. and they've obviously agreed this. and israel has a history of placing the recovery and the release of hostages, israeli citizens that are taken hostage as a priority. so they would see this as a necessary deal that they need to make in order to get their people back. and i wonder, when it comes to negotiations to given that to negotiations, given that israel's stated aim is to destroy hamas. how do you negotiate with an organisation that your stated aim is quite clear and it's been reiterated a number of times, is that israel wants to destroy hamas. can it negotiate on that basis? that's why we're in the position where we're using third party intermediaries - qatar, egypt and others, because, in fact, both sides here, their stated aim is the elimination of the other party, which makes it a really quite unique negotiation where you negotiate with somebody who ultimately you want to destroy. and so they're having to kind of temper themselves here so they can both sides get what they want from this deal. hostage negotiator scott speaking to me earlier. worth reiterating at this point that we have heard from president biden earlier saying he is expecting to know about the second wave of the release of hostages and the coming hours. so remember, today is to stay one of four days of the release of hostages on the israeli cited also be palestinian detainees we are expecting that to continue as long as the cease—fire holds. earlier i spoke to the director of international institute for counter terrorism in israel. she's a retired colonel as well from the israeli defence forces. that is the hostages that hamas took and yes, we are paying at the end with prisoners that were arrested and put on trial, convicted, sentenced and put in jail these are people being released from israeli jails. that is the price that we will have to pay. for the next few days it is about us. how could we not release the nine month baby. are you not waiting to see who is already ten and half months that cute little ginger had the kid his brother, three years old. so i think this will go on for the next few days and after that, i definitely think the bumps will come and israel will go back to the military pressure. the only reason hamas came to the table right now is because of the military pressure. it is if the diplomacy was hand—in—hand with the military three weeks ago he said, we are not releasing any hostages, we want all of the prisoners inside of israeli jails, that was three weeks ago. here we are three weeks later and they are going to release and also, they said we are not releasing. they said absolutely novels of this is notjust once a but we are doing so in no way with the military pressure and war is not pretty and it is not easy. people are suffering. i understand that. the houses situation is not one to anybody in the world wants to succumb to because if it does, it becomes the copycat modus operandi the average were the organisation is going to talking very much there of the release of the is hostages. we now know 24 released today 13 of them israelis. at the time, 39 palestinian detainees have been released. let me show you pictures of their release little earlier. they have been released from an israeli prison in the west bank and they are making their way as you can see on the screen there. the first of many palestinian detainees who will be released as part of this deal. celebrations that are being described as a relatively small victory. president biden speaking a little earlier saying here he expects more hostages to be released. not referring particularly to be palestinian prisoners. his focus very much was on the is really hostages. let's take you to this image now. in southern israel, hatzerim air base where we are expecting some of those hostages who were released today to be airlifted to israel hospitals across the territory. that is the scene there in southern israel. we are just waiting for developments there in southern israel. 0ur correspondent who is at the scene telling us that 22 of those hostages who were released. 22 of the 24 will be airlifted from there to specialist hospitals. remember, many of those are elderly. almost 85, the oldest, the youngest, two years of age. they will be taken to specialist medical facilities across israel. making their way there from the airbase to those hospitals. that pause in fighting most significant not only for the release of prisoners and hostages but also allowing more aid into gaza. 60 trucks carrying medical supplies, fuel and fuel crossed from egypt into gaza. william bell head of the middle east policy and advocacy for christian aid spoke to me little earlier and i asked him how significant this latest ability of eight could prove to be. that is a really small amount compared to the need and amount actually required. obviously four days of without bombing after seven weeks of intense bombardment is a welcome relief. everybody we spoke to clearly is relieved and will see this as summer respite. let's not forget that 1.7 million people out of 2.3 million people have been displaced. many of those have been living in shelters but many are not. many of them are hungry and do not have food and many are short of water as well. so there is an enormous amount of need. prior to october the 7th there were 500 trucks a day going in. so 130 coming in under these circumstances is clearly a drop in the ocean. obviously, it is to be welcomed. we would prefer this would be a permanent cease—fire and that every hostage and those held were released in the entirety is today. but we hope this becomes a permanent cease—fire because that is the only way that you are actually going to be able to address the enormous need that is in gaza. on top of obviously that displacement the united nations reporting in the region of 46,000 homes have been destroyed. so even though there is a respite for many, there is the thoughts of what sort of future people are going to have. so these are really difficult times, but obviously four days is better than nothing. but really, it is a permanent cease—fire that is required. you talk there about the limit, the opportunity in just four days how much carefully change it there is honestly and hope that this becomes an extended cease—fire or indeed, a cessation of the conflict. talk to me about what can achieved in just four days because one hopes that the 137 trucks are just the start of several days of increased aid. we know that aid is sitting on the border. that's right. as much as obviously we hope that that contains food and medicine and obviously fuel, we are all hearing from people on the ground is that people are absolutely exhausted. that includes medical teams. it also there is a need for people to help excavate those that are expected still alive underneath the rubble. so obviously any amount coming in is going to be of some help, but it is not going to be enough to be able to secure a permanent flow of aid into the strip. so as i said we hope this becomes permanent and that the hundreds of truck become thousands because that is what is required. just to confirm you can see it they are the un now confirming 137 e trucks were able to unload. in normal circumstances of course there would be many hundreds of trucks making thatjourney would be many hundreds of trucks making that journey across would be many hundreds of trucks making thatjourney across the border. today, a significant day. 13 israelis, ten people from thailand and when filipino release. we have been getting more details of those release. and we have images coming to us as well. pictures here. this is a 17—year—old being released. also a 77—year—old released today. families as well. we know emilia aloni and her mother emilio release as well. —— danielle. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. good evening. it's been a noticeably colder day today and that colder weather is going to stick around. the weekend will certainly be chilly. and with clearer skies and light winds, we're going to find some frost around as well before we see a bit more cloud arriving during the second half of the weekend. now, it's these north to north westerly winds that have ushered in the colder air. we end up with higher pressure trying to build in from the west, meaning that the winds are falling lighter here, lower pressure to the east, and that's driven in stronger winds and a few showers down some north sea coasts as well. most of the showers today, earlier on at least, have been across north eastern parts of scotland. but even here, those showers are becoming fewer and the wind is beginning to drop a bit as well. certainly got lighter winds inland. a lot of the cloud that we started the day with has been breaking up after some earlier sunshine. we've got the clear skies overnight. we will keep some clouds blowing into northern scotland. the odd shower down some of those north sea coasts. so here it won't be quite as cold. but away from here, we're looking at a widespread frost, the first widespread frost of the autumn. temperatures not desperately cold, but we could be down to minus four or minus five. it will certainly start chilly tomorrow, but at least we have the sunshine. and for many, it's going to be a dry and sunny day. again, there'll be a bit more cloud coming in to northern scotland. the winds not as strong down those north sea coast, but still the threat of the odd shower, particularly towards suffolk and norfolk. and of course, with that frosty start, it will be a cold day. temperatures typically in the afternoon, only 5—6 degrees. now, i mentioned some changes for the second half of the weekend. and that's coming about because this area of low pressure is slowly pushing these weather fronts in from the atlantic. and that means more cloud and some patchy rain arriving across northern ireland, moving over the irish sea and into the southwest of scotland as well. elsewhere, though, it should be a dry day, but of course we've got more cloud coming in over that cold and frosty start. so even though the winds are light and we have the cloud around, it is going to feel cold away from that rain in the west. temperatures again, 5—6 degrees. so a chilly old weekend. quick word on the early part of next week. we do see some rain arriving overnight into monday. that clears away, and it's going to stay cold. hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. this is a process that is, you know, we know some of the details, but it is also shrouded in secrecy in many ways because of the delicacy of this deal, because of the very real fears that it could go wrong at any point. we are... this isjust a happy moment, really. we want to say relieved, it feels like a breath of fresh air. it's only a start, but so far it's gone well. earlier this morning, 13 israeli hostages were released, including an elderly woman, a grandmother, and mothers with their young children. there hasjust been more tear gas fired by the israeli forces towards the crowd here. they were really crowded around the red cross cars demanding to know where the palestinian prisoners were. good evening. a major day of developments in the middle east, as 24 hostages — including 13 israeli women and children are released by hamas — they'll soon be reunited with theirfamilies in israel. it comes as 39 palestinian women and teenagers held in israeli jails — including 15 children — are also released in the west bank. it is all part of a temporary ceasefire deal between israel and hamas,
