all of this is so that the sides are verifying that their enemies, their adversaries in this, i doing what the deal says, so there is a lot of mechanics to get through but there is also of course a lot of scope for things still to go wrong and that is, i think, because we are in unprecedented territory here due to the number of captives being held by hamas, ferocity and scale of the war itself and, of course, the war itself and, of course, the way in which all of this began, with the brutality of those attacks by hamas and that is why i think there is very, very little trust between these two sides. there is none at all and what it has been replaced with is a kind of confidence and respect in the media, qatar, to hold all this together. —— with the mediator. around 240 people were taken hostage from southern israel during the deadly attacks on october 7. among them, civilians, soldiers, people with disabilities, children and grandparents. 0rla guerin has this report — and a warning, you may find it distressing. all sing. in tel aviv tonight, friends and campaigners coming together. there is hope here and there is caution. the first israeli hostages should be coming home tomorrow. 13 families should be reunited. but it's bittersweet. many hostages will remain in gaza. only 50 are due to be released during the ceasefire. sisters daphna and ella are not on the list for tomorrow, according to their mother, maayan. she tweeted tonight, "it's incredibly difficult. "i long for their return "but i am relieved for the other families". gil dikman says all the families will share the joy when hostages come home. his cousin carmel is being held. she's 39 and loves to travel. her sister—in—law, yarden, is also trapped in gaza. even if our hostages won't be released in the next few days, the fact that there will be hostages released, pictures of children and mothers coming back, that's very, very strong and i think people are going to feel as if it's their own children. in gaza, one more day of death and wrenching loss. this is rafah, in the far south, where israeli air strikes flattened a neighbourhood. this boy says, "they brought the building down on top "of us". he's asked if he was at home. "yes," he says. "i put my hands over my head and fell to the floor." if hamas was the target here, civilians seem to have paid. israel says it has been striking hamas wherever it's hiding. hamas says the truce will be temporary and its fingers will remain on the trigger. many palestinians are hoping that, at least for the coming four days, israel's crushing assault on gaza will be on pause. 0rla guerin, bbc news, tel aviv. joining me to discuss the truce is hussein ibish, senior resident scholar at the arab gulf states institute in washington. very good evening to you. how likely do you think it is that this temporary truce could be extended and more hostages released? �* ., extended and more hostages released?— released? i'm not sure about that. ithink— released? i'm not sure about that. l think it _ released? i'm not sure about that. i think it depends - released? i'm not sure about that. i think it depends on i released? i'm not sure about i that. i think it depends on how this goes because it is going to be done in stages and there are still many pitfalls. the sides are very wary of each other. there is almost no trust at all. it is in the interest of hamas to get rid of the women and children, so they are doing this, they are getting palestinian women and children released in return. the israelis did not really want to deliver fuel and supplies to the gaza hospitals but hamas insisted, so there is going to be at least some of that, and there i think there is a tricky point. and another thing is israel has agreed not to do any overflights over gaza during the four days of truce or non— fire, ceasefire, whatever you want to call it, and one of the reasons for that is notjust want to call it, and one of the reasons for that is not just so bombing doesn't go ahead, it's also because hamas doesn't want close surveillance of the movement of its forces as they arrange for the release of these israeli hostages. in other words, they think if israel gets a very close, good look at where they are going and coming from and how they are moving around, this would be very valuable military intelligence regarding tunnels, regarding safe places and movement, and they don't want that. . �* , movement, and they don't want that. . v . movement, and they don't want that. . �*, . , that. that's an interesting oint. i that. that's an interesting point. i mean, _ that. that's

release all the hostages? fish! hamas to agree to release all the hostages?— hamas to agree to release all the hostages? ah! ok, so there are levels _ the hostages? ah! ok, so there are levels of _

0ctoberseven. itjust all, despite the brutality of october seven. itjust doesn't 0ctober seven. itjust doesn't look good and i think they are happy to get rid of them in exchange for women and children being held by israel. but when it comes to some of the other prisoners, especially the really high value hostages, which are the israeli uniformed personnel, soldiers, uniformed soldiers but hamas and other groups captured, and there are quite a few of them, those hostages, i think, quite a few of them, those hostages, ithink, are quite a few of them, those hostages, i think, are expected to be worth trading for very senior and large numbers of hamas cadres being held in israel. now, israel would be loath to release those people, since the whole thought of raison d'etre of the war is hamas must be destroyed so one thing to be releasing women and children who are being held without charge and are basically hostages themselves in israeli jails, it's another thing to release senior hamas cadres and so, i think there's a bit more complicated as we go down... so, hussein... into the high value hostages. iii down... so, hussein... into the high value hostages. ii i down... so,

popularity of different groups and opinions about the, you know, the sort of peace, the future of peace, and what they found was from us was really extremely unpopular. in gaza, didn't even crack the lower 20s in terms of high level trust. its support was basically about 23%. and satthak was also, the secular nationals, also not very popular, measurably more popular, measurably more popular —— fatah. there was still support for peace with israel and still support, majority support, for a two state solution with a palestinian state living alongside israel. now, another group, run by a alongside israel. now, another group, run bya man in ramallah, a much smaller sample, admittedly, and still it is very hard to poll people, survey people in the gaza strip under the current circumstances but they did do a survey that ended on november seven, a month later, and they found surging support for hamas. decreasing support for fatah and the plo. you know, i kind of collapsed of

they going to have to keep going through this again and again and again if they don't make a reasonable accommodation and right now, the israeli government is dead set against it, committed to annexation and implicitly committed to expulsion in the west but at some future date and i think at the end of the war, new israeli government is found —— west bank. one that can do a better job of

trying not to get too much, although we wish they would be here to unintelligible but we learn from experience and hamas has this reputation of playing with the feelings of their families, of playing

many people trying to understand even a small amount of what you've been through for these past few weeks, not knowing what they saw the day or where they are or how they are, how do you put into

and inaudible as we would say and it keeps us busy, keeps up also the energy that we are working for their release, 0k, and notjust sitting back home getting crazy. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the world health organization has asked china for more details after an increase in respiratory illnesses and an outbreak of pneumonia, which appears to be affecting mostly children. chinese authorities have admitted the country is experiencing an increase in cases of influenza—like illnesses, but china's national health commission blames the lifting of covid—i9 measures. finland has put up barriers at four of its border crossings with russia in an attempt to stop the flow of migrants. the crossings have seen a big increase in the number of undocumented asylum seekers, and finland accuses russia of deliberately channelling migrants to their shared border. the kremlin has dismissed finland's claims as �*groundless'. and new york city mayor eric adams, has been accused of sexual assault in court papers filed on wednesday night. the summons alleges that the plaintiff was assaulted in 1993 while they both worked for the city. a spokesperson for mr adams said he does not recall meeting the accuser and vigorously denies the claims. you're live with bbc news. returning to the conflict in the middle east and on the israeli—lebanon border, there's been intense shelling. tens of thousands of people on either side have left their homes. israel has been accused of wilfully targeting fleeing lebanese civilians, including a family who were hit in an air strike earlier this month. israel says it's investigating the incident. wyre davies has more from southern lebanon. doing the job along one of the most dangerous frontiers in the world, almost every day since hezbollah and israel have been fighting, volunteers have sped towards the aftermath of air strikes and missile attacks. this is a strike on a family home. it happened about a0 minutes ago. what we know is there was a mother, father and several children, and members of the family have been injured and taken to hospital. and this is a lebanese family in a house just across the borderfrom israel, israeli houses there in the distance. we later learned that an elderly woman was killed in the attack, a young girl with serious abdominal wounds among the injured. the local civil defence chief says civilians have increasingly become victims of this war. for us, the biggest concern is about the civilians. we have to save them every time. it's dangerous. yes, it's dangerous. yes, we know. but living in lebanon is dangerous. as we film, an israeli drone cruised the skies above over lebanese territory, where the powerful islamist hezbollah organisation is dominant and from where it fires rockets into israel. the drones are used by israel to strike what it says are hezbollah positions. the united nations, which patrols the fragile blue line between israel and lebanon, says that over seven weeks, the conflict he has escalated almost daily. difficult to say because the shelling has been intense. there's thousands of rockets and exchanges of fire on a regular basis. so, when you have such an intensity of the conflict in a very localised area where people are living, of course, there are is the high risk of hitting and killing civilians. the chourfamily, buying supplies for their journey to beirut earlier this month, knew it was too dangerous to remain near the border. minutes later, their car was hit by a strike from an israeli drone. three little girls were killed in the back. their grandmother, in the front, was also killed. somehow, the mother sitting in the driver's seat was able to be dragged to safety by her uncle. the organisation human rights watch said what happened here could amount to a war crime. the family's uncle rejects israel's explanation that it struck a suspicious vehicle containing several terrorists. israel also says it is investigating claims there may have been armed civilians in the car. translation: | will always - remember her screams and cries. she was telling me, "get my kids out of the car." she repeated this over and over, until i dragged her out. 14—year—old rimas, taline, who was 12, and ten—year—old lianne only came back to the border to pick up their schoolbooks, says samir ayyoub. school years they will never complete. wyre davis, southern lebanon. the irish prime minister or taoiseach, leo varadkar, has appealed for calm after violence in dublin. anti—immigrant protestors and riot police clashed in the streets of the irish capital. it's not clear exactly what sparked the riots, though some reports suggest they might have been triggered by a knife attack outside a school on thursday. a woman and three children were badly injured in that incident. sara girvin is in dublin with more. tonight, dublin has been witness to violent clashes between rioters and police. vehicles have been set alight, smoke seen rising from the city. this afternoon, three young children were attacked outside their school. two of them and a woman remain in hospital. eyewitnesses said bystanders wrestled a man with a knife to the ground. i looked across the road and i seen a man in a stabbing motion with a load of children, so i flew across the road and the man was after stabbing two children as far as i could make out. we got the children up to the left with the women that were there and the teachers, i presume. the man, in his 40s, is being described as a person of interest. irish police say they are not looking for anyone else. what happened here has led to hours of intense violence. cars on fire, shops broken into and fireworks thrown at police. the garda commissioner said people involved should go home and let police do theirjob. i think it's disgraceful scenes in terms of major investigation, the maintenance of a scene, the gathering of evidence. and we have a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far right ideology, and also then this disruptive tendency here and engaged then in serious violence. riot police have been at this scene for hours now and we've watched as at least one officer was injured. he was led away by his colleagues just behind me here. there were then several loud bangs. we watched as this smoke billowed up over dublin city centre. the irish prime minister says extra policing resources have been made. extra policing resources are being made available. with the clashes still ongoing, work to contain these violent scenes will continue into the night. sara girvin, bbc news. in the netherlands, far—right leader geert wilders won a surprise victory in elections and now must make compromises to form a coalition government. anna holligan sent this report. a radicalfar right populist propelled into the spotlight. geert wilder's win was unexpected and unprecedented. cheering after last night's cheers, it was champagne and cake for breakfast. inside the freedom party parliamentary headquarters, geert wilders made a toast to the 2.3 million people who voted for him. mr wilders has promised to close the borders and stop what he's called a tsunami of migration. this is a politician who has spent more than two decades on the fringes of dutch politics. now the voters have decided he can no longer be kept out in the cold. i think it's good. yeah, the netherlands need a change. many people are very focused on one particular problem, which is immigration, and this party has had that as a theme for many, many years. he is one of europe's most recognisable far right leaders. he was convicted of insulting a racial group after calling for fewer moroccans in the netherlands. before the vote, the three other big parties ruled out playing any part in a wilders—led government because of his far right rhetoric. brussels wants to inundate us with third—world immigrants. but there are already indications that could change. nationalist leaders around the continent have praised his achievement. translation: i welcome this victory _ because geert wilders demonstrates that more and more countries within the european union are contesting its functioning, and rightly so, and hope that we can once again control immigration. the question is to what extent all sides will be prepared to compromise. the complicated process of forming a coalition is likely to go on for months. anna holligan, bbc news, in the hague. in india — rescue efforts to retrieve 41 workers trapped in a collapsed road tunnel have stopped for the evening. the workers have spent 12 days underground. engineers have managed to reach them, delivering food, water, air and electricity. the men appear to be in good health. ambulances are on standby for their release. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain is at the scene with the latest. in the last 2a hours, rescue workers here have made very little progress. now, just behind me, you can see the mouth of the tunnel. that is where all of the rescue operations are taking place, and what they're trying to do is to drill a hole through the rubble and debris where the men are trapped behind. but each time they get closer, they hit other rocks, debris. and now, they're hitting metal, which damages the drilling machine, so it forces rescue operators to bring new machinery up into this area. and the longer that this rescue operation takes, the longer that those 41 construction workers remain. now, we did see some video of them earlier this week. it was the first video released of the construction workers that have been trapped since last sunday. and they appeared in the video wearing hard hats, some with high—vis vests, and they were saying that they are in good health. thank you for watching bbc news. hello. a change is taking place in our weather. thursday brought temperatures as high as 15 degrees in parts of the uk. i don't think we'll see 15 on friday. colder air has been pushing down from the north. a cold wind, some sunny spells, yes, but scattered showers, some of which will be wintry over high ground in the north. we've got high pressure to the west of us, low pressure to the east driving these strong northerly winds, bringing that cold air southwards — although, as you can see, we start the day with something a little bit milder across parts of wales, southern and south—western england and the channel islands. colder further north, wintry showers for a time, even to quite low levels in northern scotland. i think the wintriness increasingly becoming confined to the hills. quite a few showers down the east coast of england, too. northern ireland, wales, the south—west starting cloudy, but brightening up as the day wears on. breezy for all, but windy for the east coast of england and most especially for north—east scotland. there'll be a significant wind chill through friday afternoon. so, these are the temperatures on the thermometer, but factor in the strength of the wind, it will feel like freezing across parts of north east scotland, particularly the northern isles. a little bit milder down towards the south—west corner. now, during friday night, winds will slowly ease. it does stay quite breezy for these eastern coasts with a few showers, but with high pressure building from the west, we'll see clearing skies, lighter winds and a really cold night. some places likely to get to —5 celsius as we start saturday morning. quite a widespread frost, but lots of sunshine to start the weekend. still some showers down this east coast. i think it'll still feel quite chilly here. still a fairly brisk wind, but not as windy. top temperatures, it degrees for glasgow, 8 degrees in plymouth. so, yes, a chilly—feeling day, but it will not be as windy. now, as we move into the second half of the weekend, high pressure tries to hold on — a frosty start for some on sunday. but low pressure attempting to push in from the west, so it does look like we'll see some outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards. but eastern parts of england, certainly north east scotland staying largely dry. could see a bit of rain getting into shetland. something milder trying to push in from the south—west. but broadly speaking, actually, next week looks like remaining cold, with spells of rain at times and perhaps a little bit of snow in places. that's all from me. bye for now. the week that shook the tech world: we have a look at how the turbulence at two trailblazing companies is rippling through an entire industry. plus, the black friday shopping festival is here again. but amid high inflation and high interest rates, can it be a success? hey there. welcome to asia business report with me, mariko 0i. hgppy happy friday. let's begin with the two separate stories that rocked the technology industry this week because on tuesday, the boss of the world's biggest crypto exchange binance, cz, surprisingly quit after pleading guilty to money laundering charges in the united states and then, the next day, only a week after being sacked, sam altman returned as the boss of 0penai. earlier, i spoke to im capital'sjennifer zhu scott, who told me the drama at 0penai resulted from a bigger underlying conflict between public and corporate interest. so much to unpack in terms of what happened at 0penai. i think this drama in the past few days ultimately really showed the tension between how society has been really impacted and influenced and controlled by technology.
