still being held by greek in gaza. israeli officials said that at least 13 more israelis being held captive in the territory are due to be released shortly. they will be released shortly. they will be released in exchange for 39 palestinian prisoners. the temporary truce continues to hold for a second day. each it said this afternoon there are signals that the truce could be extended for another one or two days. a delegation from qatar, which has been crucial in mediating between israel and hamas, has visited israel as well to discuss a possible extension to this deal. these are live pictures, looking across at gaza, from southern israel. you can see those pinpoints of light in the dark. this is an area that we look at a lot at the moment, because the ceasefire, the brief cessation in fighting, the first we have seen since this war began, is a crucial part of this deal. it is worth taking a moment as well to reflect on the numbers of hostages who are being released each day. there was uncertainty about the exact numbers of hostages who were being released. this four—day deal made provision for a 50 it's really an israeli dual national hostages to be released in exchange for 150 palestinian prisoners being held in israel, a 3—1 ratio. there were suggestions earlier today that the number might potentially be 14, but that briefing has changed as the day has gone on, to 13 hostages that could be released. until that moment actually happens, until we receive those official confirmations from the israeli authorities and the israeli government, it is often very difficult to know exactly how many are being exchanged. but we continue to follow that very closely here on bbc news. let us head straight to jerusalem. you have been having conversations about this potential extension to the deal, what have you been told? let us remember the context at the moment, which is what is supposed to be day two of the hostage release, in return for the release of palestinian prisoners. there appears to be this delay, as we have been reporting, and some discrepancy about the precise number that are due to be released by hamas. on the list of all that we then had the official egyptian state information service putting out a statement saying that there were discussions about extending the current for the truce. remember, the temporary ceasefire, the initial phase of that, is agreed to be four days, but it always had this so—called option to extend for a further five days, where you would get more releases. the egyptian said there had been intensive discussions with all the parties, and that the world what they described as positive signals around extending the truce for another day, or even two days. separately to that a diplomatic source confirming to the bbc that the delegation from qatar is in israel to discuss, among other things, an extension to the truce. the source said there was an operational team, which is related to what is happening on the ground, with the current hostage releases, but also discussions around extending the current truce. for the last ten or 15 minutes, the times of israel newspaper quoting what they describe as a senior israeli official, describing reports that there could be an extension as ridiculous and false, saying it is highly unlikely any deal extending the temporary ceasefire beyond the four days would be finalised until more than a day or even hours before that. on the one hand, egyptians dry to talk about an extension, the israelis could find no credence publicly whatsoever. i do not think thatis publicly whatsoever. i do not think that is surprising, because throughout all of this we have heard from the arab countries involved directly or indirectly that they want to see the current temporary ceasefire turn into something more durable and permanent. we have heard from israeli officials throughout this, that this is a finite period, just designed to get hostages released, and at the end of that war will continue. we are seeing bits of these positions flip again into the public domain, and it is not surprising that you have on the one hand, talking up the possibility of extension, and on the israeli side, trying to damp that down. and while all of that is happening, this is the second day of this four—day deal, and we are expecting the release of another group of hostages, and another group of palestinian prisoners. it is hard to know whether that is on track or not. it seems to be that information is released in a very controlled way. yes. certainly, further behind schedule than we were at this period yesterday. this time yesterday it was much clearer that hostages were on their way, in the custody of the red cross, towards the rafah border crossing. we havejust a red cross, towards the rafah border crossing. we have just a total lack of clarity at this stage. there has been this confusion, as you have been reporting, over the recent hours about numbers. because the lists are supposedly handed over the lists are supposedly handed over the evening before. we were reporting late last night that a list had been received, that the list had been received, that the list that was handed over from hamas via that mediator qatar, to the israelis, that is supposed to have both the number and identity of hostages for released the following day, and in return israel releases three times the number of palestinian prisoners. there has been a lack of clarity all day about the numbers, 14 or 13. we still don't know that officially. depending on what that number is that it also change the number of palestinians to be released. we wait for use on whether or not. first indication would always be, as yesterday, whether or not red cross handover has taken place from hamas to the red cross, at the moment we don't know. thank you. as a middle east correspondent was saying, it is important to look for those key moments that confirm that this is going ahead, because at moments like this there is always a lot of speculation and discussion about what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. and we can see these live pictures of the rafah crossing there, where we saw yesterday those red cross vehicles carrying the hostages actually out from gaza, and into egypt, to be handed over to israeli officials. let us take a quick moment to look at what we know about those hostages who were freed yesterday, all of whom were captured during hamas�*s brutal attack on israel on 7th of october. qatar, which has been dating between israel and hamas as part of that deal says that the group was made up of 13 israelis... among the 13 israelis there was a group of five elderly women, there were three families, the oldest release was an 85—year—old woman. the four children who were released were aged two, four, six and nine years old. and you can probably hear the sound building in the background because what is happening here in hostages square in tel aviv, as it has become known, people are travelling from all over the country this evening, they are going to hold a rally in support of the hostages and those families, because we talk about those who have been released, but of course, many more, at least 200, are still being held by hamas inside gaza. those families are still waiting for news of who might be released next. they take them and drive them, and from what we saw yesterday, they do have this complex of professional people, and medical people to have this process properly, if there's any for this. but it is a first time for everyone, dealing with this amount of people, i am sure it has brought a big burden on their health services. but i think they are doing pretty good. keeping the family apart from too much attention. letting them recuperate for the time being. there was another one of your family members was talking, she gave an interview about how much ohad loved his rubik cube. we saw those pictures of him on the helicopter playing with that rubik cube. we playing with that rubik cube. - thought there was this thing, 1400 thought there was this thing, moo rubik cube were arranged to have a portrait of ohad. it was just right over here. in this square. yes. and you saw kids doing that rubik cube. and it came out like a beautiful portrait of ohad. and i am sure he will see this, and get excited. also, they have two come here and understand we have practically stopped breathing for the last seven weeks, and they were the last seven weeks, and they were the centre of attention for the entire nation. and they are private people, they are personal people, they are not too much into media exposure, of course. and getting into this kind of celebrity mode, it has to be gradual. it is difficult. i was talking to the medical director at the hostages forum, he has been involved in cheating and looking after those hostages, and when he was talking about the first four who were released, that is exactly what he said, that suddenly very private people who have been in terrible conditions for the last few weeks suddenly find themselves in a situation where everybody wants to talk to them, want to know about them. in some cases people want to hug them, they do not necessarily know that. that has been a difficult part of all this, when you find yourself the focus of public attention, it is public love, but it is attention that you might not want. , ., , , want. yes. for every person there comes a moment _ want. yes. for every person there comes a moment where _ want. yes. for every person there comes a moment where he - want. yes. for every person there comes a moment where he wants| want. yes. for every person there i comes a moment where he wants to want. yes. for every person there - comes a moment where he wants to be with himself. that is going to be hard for them. but that is the least of our problems. we must lick our wounds, in a way, we are still missing our uncle, and my cousin, he was murdered that saturday, so the family is hurt real bad. it is going to take time. it is going to be gradual. it is a lifelong process for each and everyone of them to recuperate after this, seven weeks, 49 days of waking up in the morning, going to bed in the same reality, again and again, it is nerve—wracking, there is so much time for getting into deep desperation, and getting some hope, and then getting into deeper desperation. such a long time to build these layers, and these layers need to resurface now, and process. and i bet they have many things to talk about now, would like to share with friends, family, professional people. it is going to take a while. it is going to be painful of course. we cannot be really happy because we miss my uncle and my cousin, of course, in different terms, of course. and we will do our best to get my uncle back. he is still being held. it is a crazy situation, mixed emotions surface all the time. i am externally happy, then i am extremely frustrated, then i am extremely frustrated, then i am extremely sad. but i am not the issue here, of course. and you say it is difficult to be in the spotlight, but i'm grateful to you for talking to us, it is a valuable, most of us can never know what it is like to be in that situation, to get even a small insight makes us all a little wiser about what is going on. thank you so much. and we wait for the immediate return of all the hostages. you saw in those pictures some of the release israeli hostages have been receiving medical care at a children's medical centre. they gave this update. the children and the family members are in good physical condition. it is too early to tell more about their emotional condition stop all are covered by multidisciplinary teams. our message in this unique situation is to take care of the basic needs of the families, to respect their privacy, and to consult with them about the way to cope with this stress. we are waiting for the release of the second group of israeli hostages who are being held inside gaza, on day two of this deal, they are supposed to be handed over around about now to israeli officials. the military wing of hamas have put out a message on their telegram channel saying that they have decided to delay the release of the second batch of prisoners, until, these are the words they use, until the occupation adheres to the terms of agreements related to entry of relief tracks into the northern gaza strip. this is a statement that is from the military wing of hamas, saying that they have decided to delay the release of the second batch of hostages until, in their words, the occupation commits to that terms of the ceasefire agreement. what was due to be happening at this stage was that those hostages were due to be handed over, as they were yesterday, by hamas, to the red cross. the icrc have also not confirmed, at this stage, that any of those hostages due to be released today, that group of 13 or m, the numbers were changing through the day, the red cross say they cannot confirm that any hostages are being handed over to them. it is interesting as well, looking at that statement, that they are talking about the entry of relief tracks into the northern gaza strip. as part of this deal we have seen around 200 tracks per day of additional humanitarian aid passing through the rafah crossing from egypt into gaza. there was some debate earlier today about whether that aid was reaching the northern gaza strip. more than i that aid was reaching the northern gaza strip. more thani million people have been displaced from their homes, the idf, israel defence forces, warned palestinians in gaza yesterday not to go north again during the ceasefire, because of course many people wanted to go back to their homes to see if they were still standing, to try and collect some of their possessions. they were warned by the idf, that the north remained an active war zone. but there are a number of people who have stayed in the north of gaza, despite the fighting that is going on around them. the hope was that some of that initial aid that was coming in would also go to serve those people who had chosen to stay in the north. there was some debate this morning about where that aid was going, whether it was being held in the south of the gaza strip, or whether it was making its way north to help those people who have stayed behind. that is some breaking news. we are still waiting to hear from the israeli side, of course, and we are waiting to hearfrom qatar, as well, but the latest news from that military wing of hamas is that they say, via their telegram channel, that they have decided to delay the release of the second batch of prisoners until the terms of the agreement are adhered to. it does not say how long that delay will be. we continue to follow that developing line on this story, live for you on bbc news. while we wait for you on bbc news. while we wait for those additional responses, let us just look back at this deal which was working successfully yesterday, day one of the deal, we talked about that israeli hostages that were released yesterday, but there are also palestinian prisoners who were released, a total of 39, 2a women, 15 teenage boys were released to palestinian officials in the occupied west bank yesterday evening. the majority were being held in pre—trial detention in various jails. the release was greeted with celebrations amongst palestinian communities. you can see the crowds waving their flags, the communities. you can see the crowds waving theirflags, the palestinian flag being waived, also those solid green flags with the logo on of hamas, being waived in the crowd there as well. one of the palestinian women was released yesterday, she had this to say. translation: the israelis came at ten in the morning and told us that there was a deal. we were suffering from difficult circumstances and tear gas was fired at us. we were wearing his covers all the time. the situation was humiliating and included psychological torture in addition to cutting off the electricity for prisoners. we were suffering in the cold without electricity and no one helped us. only hamas geared. those who felt our suffering, only hamas geared. those who felt oursuffering, i only hamas geared. those who felt our suffering, i thank them very much, and we love them very much. among the prisoners released from the israeli ofir prison was 17—year—old jamal ba ra—may. he spoke to us as he celebrated his release. what are your feelings now? translation: i cannot describe my jov- translation: i cannot describe my joy. we were released at five in the morning that we didn't know why until now, we were told there was a prisoner swap deal, me all the prisoners be released soon. were you assaulted? yes, yes, every day we were suppressed, checks, and beaten. i was on administrative charges and spent eight months there, the prison was like a graveyard for the living, there was no food, we were beaten every day. you can see there are those live pictures of the prison, where the palestinian detainees are released from as part of this deal. we saw it happen yesterday, but of course as we are reporting, there is potential delay in the release of the next round of hostages. we do not know how long that delay might be, whether it will be a short delay or a longer one. no further information on that. but we will not see a release of palestinian detainees unless that is a release today of israeli hostages. you can see preparations they are, but we wait to see how the logistics of this will unfold on day two of this deal. next we want to show you some pictures that have come into us from inside gaza. people have been waiting in long queues forfuel and aid. these pictures are from khan younis. one person said they had been waiting for gas for five hours from five in the morning. gazans are trying to make the most of the pause in fighting to gather much needed supplies. israel confirmed that four tankers containing fuel and another four carrying cooking gas entered gaza on saturday morning. but it is a slow process to get over the border with every vehicle checked by the israeli military before making the crossing. palestinians have also headed to markets in khan yonis to pick up food on the second day of the truce. israel said more than 100 trucks loaded with food supplies entered on friday. one man told the reuters newsagency that the price of vegetables had gone down on saturday as the truce had allows them to access goods. that's breaking a line of news that we were given in the last few minutes. that military wing of hamas has used its telegram channel to send a message saying that it has decided to delay the release of the second batch of hostages, israeli hostages, until, the worse it uses are, the occupation adheres to the terms of the agreement related to entry of relief tracks into the northern gaza strip, and not to adhere to the agreed—upon standards for releasing prisoners. no word yet on that from the israeli side. no word eitherfrom qatar, who were vital in brokering this deal. and when we heard about the details of the arrangement, about what had been agreed, it was the foreign mystery of qatar that give us the details. we know they have been in israel today, we will keep you up—to—date with that developing story here bbc news. stay with as. hello. it's a chilly and crisp day out there. the skies are generally clear, too, and that means that this evening, it's going to turn cold. and once again, we've got quite a widespread frost on the way. let's have a look at the satellite picture. and from the motion of the clouds, you can guess where the air has been coming from — from the north. but temporarily, we will see something a little bit milder coming out of the west, ahead of this weather front here. and that's also going to bring a fair amount of cloud and some rain for some of us on sunday. so here are the temperatures — saturday, mid—to—late afternoon, around about 3 to 6 degrees celsius. tonight, the skies are clear. so once again, a sharp frost will form across scotland, england as well, but starting to turn a little less cold through the night out towards the west. so belfast, 3 degrees. i think the western fringes of wales milder too, and plymouth, around seven celsius. but elsewhere, temperatures around freezing, or even below. now, this area of low pressure will be moving across the country during the course of sunday and that means very different weather tomorrow for many of us. so we've got the crisp sunshine through today we'll all have had. tomorrow, it's a case of thicker cloud out towards the west. some outbreaks of rain moving through northern ireland, perhaps around the irish sea, wales, the south—west, the south, slightly higher temperatures — ten in belfast, 13 in plymouth, whereas in aberdeen and newcastle, it's more like four or five. and then through sunday night into monday, that low moves right across the centre of the british isles, and that also leaves a legacy of cloud for monday and some outbreaks of rain. so, not a pretty picture. back to work early in the morning on monday with outbreaks of rain. and notice, the winds are coming from the north once again. so on the backside of this low, as it pulls away, that colder air returns, so back to single figures across most of the uk. now, is this colder weather going to hang around? so we're looking for these blues to stick around and, yes, they do through most of the week. weather fronts try to come in and bring some slightly milder air, but i think it's going to stay on the chilly side. so temperatures into single figures in the outlook for the week ahead, but it's not necessarily going to be sunny. in fact, farfrom it. at times, some rain, a bit of sleet, maybe mountain snow. live from tel aviv, this is bbc news. the armed wing of the palestinian militant group hamas has said it has decided to delay the release of hostages over a dispute on how much aid is moving through the gaza strip. the 2a hostages released by hamas yesterday are starting now to be reunited with their families. for the first time in nearly seven weeks. in gaza, the temporary truce agreed between israel and hamas is continuing to hold. these are live pictures of the skyline of gaza tonight. diplomatic sources had said a qatari delegation had visited israel to discuss a possible extension to the deal. i'm lewis vaughanjones with the other main stories. ukraine says russia has targeted it with the biggest number of explosive drones launched in one bombardment since the start of the war. it said 74 of 75 drones were shot down. a former minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering george floyd has reportedly been stabbed in prison. you're watching bbc news. i'm anna foster, live in tel aviv. in the area known as hostages wear, where a rally starting to get under way, thousands of people are travelling across the country today heading into the city to hold basically a rally in support of those hostages that are still being held by hamas inside gaza. butjust in the last half hour, the armed wing of hamas has said via its telegram channel that it has decided to delay the second round of hostage release. it has accused israel of not sticking to the agreement that was reached between the two and brokered by qatar and delivering enough aid in particular to the northern part of the gaza strip. we don't know whether that will be a short pause or longer, but until this latest development, we were expecting that these 13 hostages to be handed over to the red cross today by hamas, in exchange for at least 39 palestinian detainees were being held in israeli jail. in the last few minutes, we're told that israeli sources said that the red cross had not confirmed yet that that hostage transfer had started. the red cross are the neutral group in the middle who are receiving the hostages from hamas, taking them out of gaza and then passing them on to israeli officials. but what we are hearing is that that process on the second day as we are today of the four day deal has not happened yet and is going to be delayed. let's talk now to the policy lead for oxfam. thank you forjoining us live here on bbc news. i'd like to get your thoughts first on this potential delay particularly from a humanitarian aid perspective. because of course, this deal is held together with various pillars and if one of them doesn't work, it will affect the others. and that could potentially mean if this is the case, less humanitarian aid getting in. so case, less humanitarian aid getting in, , ., case, less humanitarian aid getting in. so 'ust to contextualise a bit. as an in. so just to contextualise a bit. as an international _ in. so just to contextualise a bit. as an international community, | in. so just to contextualise a bit. l as an international community, we have been requesting for weeks for aid to be delivered in the north because it hasn't been, as part of the aid tracks that started around the aid tracks that started around the 20th of october, i believe. and thatis the 20th of october, i believe. and that is because there is almost at least half a million people still stuck in the north for various different reasons. mostly, they are unable to leave their home or have chosen simply not to leave their homes. and understandably so. and understandably so also, why this was part of the agreement for the temporary pause that aid would be delivered in the north. there are thousands actually of women for example that we work with through our partners, pregnant women in the north that have nowhere to deliver their babies. because they remain in overcrowded shelters with no electricity, no water, no access to food, no access to medical supplies and medical teams. there are very few doctors left and medical teams, relief workers in the north. so it has been a very fragile situation. we also know that people were not allowed to go to the north. i have many family in gaza and they were desperate to go back home to at least gather some belongings, maybe try to have a shower in privacy and indignity. but unfortunately, that has not been the case. i mean come this temporary pause, although a welcome small step in the right direction, absolutely not enough in terms of needing the just meeting the humanitarian needs of 2.2 million people, 1.8 million of those people have been displaced and they are homeless and destitute and they are homeless and destitute and they are now starving and we are seeing the beginning of a potential epidemic happening in gaza because of overcrowded situations and because water and electricity were not part also of the agreement to be restored by israeli authorities. so we still have a water crisis and an electricity crisis, meaning that people are cooking their food on garbage and burning garbage because even wood and water and yeast and salt and flour are on the black market, with prices that have soared. we know that prices have come down today, but we are bracing ourselves for what is going to happen next week.— ourselves for what is going to ha en next week. ., , ., , happen next week. there are people who say that — happen next week. there are people who say that bringing _ happen next week. there are people who say that bringing humanitarian l who say that bringing humanitarian aid actually into this deal and making it a conditional part of a wider deal wrapped in with things like prisoner exchanges and ceasefires is something that shouldn't happen, that the humanitarian element of it should stand on its own, what are your thoughts?— thoughts? israel has used a starvation — thoughts? israel has used a starvation as _ thoughts? israel has used a starvation as a _ thoughts? israel has used a starvation as a weapon - thoughts? israel has used a starvation as a weapon of. thoughts? israel has used a i starvation as a weapon of war thoughts? israel has used

and water and put up extremely important routes and crossings —— closed up. especially the ones humanitarian organisations here in the country that deliver aid across the occupied palestinian territory and notjust gaza, we usually use the tal shoham crossing which has been closed since the 7th of october. we are not used to operating aid are responses through rafah, rafah is not a place where we have operated. so it has been an extremely challenging situation, where humanitarian aid has been used as a bargaining chip really, at the expense of gazans who are paying the highest price. it is are paying the highest price. it is a tragic situation really and although four days will give people may be the possibility of sleeping, and i really hope that children tonight are having a full night's sleep withoutjones over their heads, they are still hungry, they are still thirsty, they are still cold. —— drones. winter has arrived and there is no electricity or wood to heat up fires and warm children and premature babies that are being born. the situation actually is getting worse and worse by the day because of the level of destruction and the complete collapse of a health care system that serves 2.2 million people. i doubt that people understand what that means that you have no hospitals are no access to health care for 2.2 million people who are completely trapped in gaza with no ability to leave, no ability to find a safe place anywhere. israel have said... israel have said that hamas were ultimately responsible for this, they say that hamas are using palestinians in gaza as human shields. by launching those attacks on the 7th of october, hamas knew what would happen to the civilian population, that hamas should be blamed for what has happened here. i’m should be blamed for what has happened here.— should be blamed for what has happened here. should be blamed for what has ha ened here. �* ., , ., happened here. i'm not sure that it is preportionate — happened

to kill almost 20,000 people. three quarters of them, women and children. completely collapse a health care system. shutdown water and food and electricity, fuel from an entire civilian population. hamas that has existed for 16 years, but they have been trying to eliminate for 16 years. but clearly, it is not working. and this is at the expense of civilians and children. children are traumatised. children are terrified. children don't have hope for a future in gaza because they have been living under an illegal blockade for the last 16 years under brutal military rule. they have never left gaza, they cannot leave gaza, they are not allowed. what is not drinkable before the 7th of october, electricity was not available in gaza before the 7th of october. i mean, it is a situation that precedes the 7th of october. and although the 7th of october was absolutely horrific, it doesn't, i mean, how much do people have to endure? how much more? how many more children have to die to eliminate hamas? it is clearly not working and clearly, as the international community, we have been advocating for a political solution that brings justice and accountability for both parties and that brings equality to palestinians and israelis in the right for palestinians to have self—determination and have the right to movement, have the right to life. and those rights have been denied by all palestinians, notjust in gaza, there is no hamas in the west bank, we are also under military occupation here and we have thousands and thousands of prisoners, people in detention and arrested without charge and without trial for years. arrested without charge and without trialforyears. it arrested without charge and without trialfor years. it is arrested without charge and without trial for years. it is the only place where children are tried in military courts in israel. palestinian children are the only children in the world trade in military courts. palestinian children imprisoned here in israel, they suffered beatings, they are not allowed to see their parents, they are not allowed to see lawyers. and there is no hamas here in the west bank. so it is a systematic environment of impunity that we as palestinians here live through and we as humanitarian workers keep having to respond to.— we as humanitarian workers keep having to respond to. thank you for “oininu us, having to respond to. thank you for joining us, bushra _ having to respond to. thank you for joining us, bushra khalidi, - having to respond to. thank you for joining us, bushra khalidi, from - joining us, bushra khalidi, from oxfam. important of course to reflect both sides of this debate. of course, israel say that israeli security concerns are vitally important. that is their reasoning for this sort of situation that precedes this conflict. this is a long running conflict, it is not a conflict that began on october the 7th, this is a conflict that runs long and deep and has done for decades here in the middle east. and i think what we are seeing now is oversee a new chapter, a new page in that conflict since the 7th of october. —— is to see. what we are seeing now is this four day deal. but you're talking about the lack of humanitarian aid moving into gaza and the fact it has increased, but still is not enough to meet the needs of people displaced in the strip —— bushra. there was the ceasefire and the hostage release which as we have been reporting, today's hostage release, the al-qassam brigades, the military wing say that has been delayed for the moment. but we did see hostages released yesterday. professor hagai levine is from the hostages and missing families forum. he gave us an update on the condition of the hostages and told us about some of the challenges they now face. we have been preparing for the worst when hoping for the best. it seemed like at least the hostages that were released yesterday are relatively in better shape than our worst expectations. obviously, especially the kids have an amazing ability to recover. and some of them have been with their family members, with their mothers, so that also can ease the situation. but, you know, it's a very long recovery process and we don't know yet exactly what are their medical and mental problems. and despite the excitement and thejoy, as you said, we will have to follow up and see what exactly they need. for some of the people, they don't have a home to return to. their home, their community were burned to the ground in the october 7th massacre, genocide. and they now will have to hear many bad news about their beloved, theirfamily members, theirfriends, that were murdered. from the hostages and missing families forum, he has been involved in the medical care of those hostages who have already been released. of course, we have been talking about the situation for those families who have been without their loved ones now since the 7th of october. michael levyjoins me now. michael, your brother, he is on your t—shirt and poster, what happened to him on the 7th of october? he happened to him on the 7th of october? ., , ., october? he

knowledge that this deal thatis well is the knowledge that this deal that is happening at the moment which appears to be delayed just now, but this deal only involves women and children. so you know that or will not be released in these next few days. which is, i can't imagine how difficult that is. so the imagine how difficult that is. sr the feeling here is mixed. on the one hand, yes, you're right. i mean, or is not going to be released. all other men are not going to be released, at least, not on this deal. but on the other hand, i know a lot of the families personally. i just came back from a delegation to the vatican, a delegation to new york. i have met families that became my family. and i want to see their loved ones released. i'm very happy to see any hostage being released,

from across the country are coming this evening to think about him and the other hostages —— this rally. so thank you, really appreciate it. here in central tel aviv this evening. let's get the latest on the situation in gaza tonight. we are live in tel aviv. as we are saying, that raleigh is starting to begin in support of the hostages here. but let's get the latest from gaza. bbc arabic correspondent reda el mawy is injerusalem and gave us this update. what more can you tell us about the news we heard from the military wing of hamas, the al-qassam brigade, that the second release of hostages may be delayed, what do we know? these are nerve—racking moments not just for the families of the hostages, but also in the palestinian side. because as we know, the terms of the deal stipulates that once the israelis have custody of the hostages, they will give the green light for the palestinian prisoners to be released. the al-qassam brigade saying israel is breaching the terms of the truce. i mentioned two main sticking point is that we mentioned this morning, by one of the hamas spokespersons. he said one of the sticking points is the transport of goods and humanitarian aid to northern gaza, to the northern part of gaza. in the second sticking point, which it seems hasn't been resolved or is still in discussion, is the age of the prisoners, the palestinian prisoners who should be released. the agreement was for those who spent the longest time israeli prisons, they are those who will be given priority, and this is what al-qassam is trying to mention, trying to discuss know, according to their spokespeople. so these are the main point is that hamas is talking about is the main hurdle for the release of the hostages. and about is the main hurdle for the release of the hostages.- about is the main hurdle for the release of the hostages. and as we are talkin: release of the hostages. and as we are talking here, _ release of the hostages. and as we are talking here, we _ release of the hostages. and as we are talking here, we are _ release of the hostages. and as we are talking here, we are looking . release of the hostages. and as we are talking here, we are looking at| are talking here, we are looking at live pictures from outside of ofeh prison, where the preparations appear to still be in place. it is hard to know how long this delay might last. what do you think? it is enormously hard to predict, i want to ask you what you might —— what you think might happen next, but one thing we have lead in the last few weeks as it is impossible to say with any certainty what might happen at any stage. == with any certainty what might happen at any stage-— at any stage. -- we have learnt. it is very difficult _ at any stage. -- we have learnt. it is very difficult to _ at any stage. -- we have learnt. it is very difficult to say _ at any stage. -- we have learnt. it is very difficult to say what - at any stage. -- we have learnt. it is very difficult to say what will. is very difficult to say what will happen next. but from what we see is that they reached the final stage of the release of the prisoners. so many are putting very high hopes that these details are going to be ironed out in the near future. that these details are going to be ironed out in the nearfuture. in hours. knowing can tell, really. but it seems that they have reached a point where they are on the border from what they have heard because the international committee of the red cross is across the issue —— no—one can tell. so they are at the last point before the release. there is a political will from different parties outside israel. the united states is pushing for this truce to continue. they are even talking about an extension of it. arab countries are pushing for it as well. and obviously, the people of gaza that once this truce to continue because of the very difficult humanitarian situation they are in right now. just difficult humanitarian situation they are in right now.- difficult humanitarian situation they are in right now. just if we look at this _ they are in right now. just if we look at this conflict _ they are in right now. just if we look at this conflict more - they are in right now. just if we i look at this conflict more widely, i am just seeing here israeli sources have told the bbc that israel denies that it has violated the ceasefire agreement. the un relief and works agency unrwa said yesterday age reached the north of gaza yesterday for the first time in a month. but it is enormously difficult to know what is happening there, what is going on. and at any point in this conflict we do tend to get these varying reports from the different sides that don't always match up. it is difficult to really know exactly where the situation is in reality. because in different negotiations, you hear lots of conflicting reports from different parties and these are designed in general, in these kind of situations, to have an impact on the opposite side. so for example, after the hamas spokesperson said they want those 50 trucks to reach northern gaza, an israeli spokesperson a few hours later said that there are 50 trucks en route to northern gaza. and it seems now that this is still a sticking point according to hamas. so it is very hard to tell, how is the situation on the ground at the moment? thank ou for on the ground at the moment? thank you forjoining — on the ground at the moment? thank you forjoining us- _ on the ground at the moment? thank you forjoining us. our— on the ground at the moment? thank you forjoining us. our bbc— on the ground at the moment? thank you forjoining us. our bbc arabic correspondent. injerusalem. just bringing us up—to—date with the latest. we are once again, as we have been on so many occasions over the last few weeks, really hearing different sides, different sides of this debate different sides of that deal. the al-qassam brigades, the military wing of hamas, releasing in the last hour a statement on their telegram channel statement saying they have decided to release the delay —— delay the release of the next hostages being held by hamas in gaza. we were told there were 13, potentially m hostages who were supposed to be released today. in return, there were at least 39 palestinian detainees from israeli jails who were supposed to be released as part of that exchange. what it is very difficult to say at the moment is how long that delay might last. certainly, the icrc, the international committee of the red cross, the neutral middle ground here who transport the other hostages, said they have not received them just yet. there was a lot of hope and expectation in this four day deal and we were talking earlier today about a potential extension to that. i want to leave you with live pictures now of hostages square in tel aviv, this is the place i am standing in talking to you from right now. people from around israel are gathering this evening to basically hold a rally, a vigil in support of those hostages. you can see some of them holding posters and pictures with their names and faces who have been missing for more than 50 days. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it's a chilly and crisp day out there. the skies are generally clear, too, and that means that this evening, it's going to turn cold. and once again, we've got quite a widespread frost on the way. let's have a look at the satellite picture. and from the motion of the clouds, you can guess where the air has been coming from — from the north. but temporarily, we will see something a little bit milder coming out of the west, ahead of this weather front here. and that's also going to bring a fair amount of cloud and some rain for some of us on sunday. so here are the temperatures — saturday, mid—to—late afternoon, around about 3 to 6 degrees celsius. tonight, the skies are clear. so once again, a sharp frost will form across scotland, england as well, but starting to turn a little less cold through the night out towards the west. so belfast, 3 degrees. i think the western fringes of wales milder too, and plymouth, around seven celsius. but elsewhere, temperatures around freezing, or even below. now, this area of low pressure will be moving across the country during the course of sunday and that means very different weather tomorrow for many of us. so we've got the crisp sunshine through today we'll all have had. tomorrow, it's a case of thicker cloud out towards the west. some outbreaks of rain moving through northern ireland, perhaps around the irish sea, wales, the south—west, the south, slightly higher temperatures — ten in belfast, 13 in plymouth, whereas in aberdeen and newcastle, it's more like four or five. and then through sunday night into monday, that low moves right across the centre of the british isles, and that also leaves a legacy of cloud for monday and some outbreaks of rain. so, not a pretty picture. back to work early in the morning on monday with outbreaks of rain. and notice, the winds are coming from the north once again. so on the backside of this low, as it pulls away, that colder air returns, so back to single figures across most of the uk. now, is this colder weather going to hang around? so we're looking for these blues to stick around and, yes, they do through most of the week. weather fronts try to come in and bring some slightly milder air, but i think it's going to stay on the chilly side. so temperatures into single figures in the outlook for the week ahead, but it's not necessarily going to be sunny. in fact, farfrom it. at times, some rain, a bit of sleet, maybe mountain snow. live from tel aviv, this is bbc news. the armed wing of the palestinian militant group armas has said that it has decided to delay the release of the second group of israeli hostages. it is not yet clear how long this delay made last but israeli officials have appeared to confirm the development, saying that the handover of the hostages to the red cross and gaza has not yet begun. well, these are live pictures of the military detention centre in the occupied west bank. it is one of the occupied west bank. it is one of the locations where palestinian prisoners are held and it is the place they were due to be released as part of that exchange. meanwhile, some of the 2a hostages released by hamas yesterday i starting to be reunited with their families. in london i have the other main stories. a major attack by russian drones in kyiv.
