What is the latest on those talks . I would not necessarily use the word progress, they have ground to a halt. Both hammers and the israeli delegations of left cairo in the gap between them appears to be unbridgeable at the moment. That doesnt in the talks are dead and there is enormous pressure to make this work is also the domestic pressure here in israel. And there are protesters trying to put pressure on the Israeli Government to do a deal and they have an expression in hebrew meaning deal now and they think that this government, this relatively far right government of Benjamin Netanyahu is really more interested in Crushing Hamas and getting their hostages out because there was a time back in november when negotiations, mediation and arch of five hostages out alive in almost every week, theres more bad news of hostages who have died either in captivity or found to have not survived the atrocious raids on october seven and the Cease Fire Talks of the moment appeared to have hit a b
Been accepted by hamas. From jerusalem, our middle east correspondent Yolande Knell reports you may find some of her report distressing. The panic and confusion as rescuers pull the wounded from the rubble after an overnight israeli airstrike in rafah. And today, another all too familiar scene in gaza, a mother struggling with unbearable loss. After israel seized control of the key crossing with egypt, it says its continuing a limited offensive in gazas southernmost city, battling hamas gunmen in the east of their last stronghold. But for hundreds of thousands of palestinians who fled to rafah to escape the fighting elsewhere, theres renewed fear. Translation last time i they told us to go to rafah, saying theres aid and its a safe place, and look, they came into rafah. For now, i wont go anywhere. Ill stay here. Its enough. Were tired of being displaced, and i dont know where i want to go. World powers have warned israel against a full assault here, saying it would be a humanitarian c
Ceasefire talks in cairo. The good news is that they are happening and that five nations, orfive parties, are at least all there in cairo. So thats hamas, israel, the us, qatar and egypt. The not so good news is that israel has only sent a fairly low level team theyre not there to negotiate, theyre there to study what hope there is of trying to bridge the gap between what is acceptable to israel and what is acceptable to hamas, and that gap is still pretty wide. The main Sticking Point, as my colleague yolande referred to there, is over how this ends. So the fundamentals of the deal are largely intact, theyre largely agreed. They can agree this that it will start with a 42 day period of calm, a truce essentially, during which hamas will give up 33 hostages. Theres a bit of dispute about whether they would be alive or dead, but 33 hostages. In return, a much larger number of Palestinians Prisoners would be released from israeli jails and palestinians who had been moved south into rafah
Now, all the latest sport. Hello from the bbc sport centre. Borussia dortmund await either a german rival or a team on a Historical Mission in the Champions League final. Itll be bayern munich, who dortmund lost to the last time they reached the final, or real madrid. With the score 2 2 heading into their second leg later at the bernabeu, whoever wins will no doubt be the favourite at wembley in june, with real attempting to win a record extending 15th european cup, having not been at their best in the first game in munich, according to their manager, carlo ancelotti. They got the draw thanks to two goals from viniciusjunior, who is very much on the bayern bosss mind. You can still hurt any team in the world and i think a big part of it is accepting it. That not everything, it is possible that not everything, it is possible that not everything will be perfect for us tomorrow but its still possible to overcome, its still possible to overcome, its still possible to overcome difficulties,
