tel aviv and is a place where people have come, gathered in the hours after the news that a deal to reveal some of the hostages being held in gaza has been agreed. it's something that has been talked about for many weeks now and has been a difficult and delicate negotiation but we have finally heard that after a vote here in israel that by the government and warn security cabinets that that deal had been approved and we expect to see the first significant release of hostages in the next few days. all of them women and children and this would be the first major development in terms of hostage release and in a statement, benjamin netanyahu talked about this last night and said that at least 50 hostages, women and children, would be released over a period of four days. and during which a pause in

the fighting will be held. he went on to say that the release of every additional ten hostages by hamas would result in one additional day in that pause. earlier, israel published a list of 300 palestinian prisoners that could be released under this deal, including things like names and ages of those prisoners. and also offences that have been committed by those eligible, but what we know is at 150 detainees are expected to be released first, one palestinian detainee, three palestinian detainees for each single is really hostage. in his own statement, hamas, designated a terrorist group by various western governments around the world talked about this humanitarian pause and they talked about the agreement that had been made and they said the 50 hostages would be released over the next few daysin would be released over the next few days in exchange for those

palestinian women and children who have been held in israeli jails. it also said a deal will allow additional humanitarian aid into gaza in the form of hundreds of trucks carrying medical supplies and fuel, something that has been talked about in terms of fuel, something that has been talked about in terms of a fuel, something that has been talked about in terms of a growing humanitarian crisis but israel insists this is not the end of the war and netanyahu says it would continue to seek the elimination of hamas in gaza and qatar has also said the start of the policy will be announced within 2a hours. less here first of all what detail from that. here are some of the israeli children, who could soon be returning home. 0ria is four years old and loves football. kafir is the youngest of all those held. he's nowjust ten months old. israel's prime minister got a warm reception from these troops yesterday. speaking ahead of the deal, benjamin netanyahu said that releasing hostages was a sacred

duty, but the war wouldn't stop after they were freed. israel's government met late into the night to discuss the agreement, only signing it off in the early hours. they announced that at least 50 hostages will be released, all women and children. that will be over four days while fighting in gaza will be paused. the release of every additional ten hostages will result in one additional day's pause. in tel aviv last night, campaigners stood together as ministers debated the terms. many here would pay any price to have their loved ones back. they fear that some hostages are already dead. i want everybody back. but i think... it's a very tough decision. ..but i think the children and women must be... they're most fragile. you know, they need to get out. for palestinians in war—torn gaza, the pause in fighting is the chance of a brief respite

from israel's assault. more fuel should now be allowed in and hundreds more lorry loads of food, water and medical supplies. for doctors still holding out at al—shifa hospital with some 250 patients, that aid can't come soon enough. again, the hospital has no oxygen. we have no access to the main pharmacy, so we've run out of all the medications. we can't provide anything to the patients. we hardly do anything for the deep wounds we have. again, just reminding you, we are not more than 15 of medical staff. palestinian families are also waiting for more news on women and child prisoners from israeli jails, who are set to be released under the deal. on all sides, there's cautious optimism with an announcement on the pause in fighting and the first hostage releases expected within the next day. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem.

tax and spending plans for the year ahead in the autumn statement. the question they are being thrown to him is the question that many of us will have at this point. in september he told us that now was not the time to cut taxes until the economy improved but there has been a change of heart and we expect there will be some tax cuts announced in the autumn statement a little later. they could indeed be sweeteners before an election designed to win over voters before a general election next year. what else should we expect? perhaps and it's a big if there will be a cut in income tax but that could be expensive and could push up inflation, sending the government has been working hard to reduce. there could be a cut in inheritance tax and it has been much discussed but already condemned as tone deaf amid a cost of living crisis. we are expecting some changes to pension rules and there might be more support forfirst—time rules and there might be more support for first—time buyers and speculation as well about possible

changes to benefit rules, but as we said, it was in september the chancellor said it was virtually impossible to deliver tax cuts so what exactly has changed? there might be a bit more room for manoeuvre because tax receipts have been a bit higher than initially thought and forecast and the cost of servicing government debt has fallen as well but it inflation, prices are rising, and that above the bank of england's target and will fuel the cost of living crisis on the chancellor really will be wary of making any big announcements i could spark even more inflation. it's all rather big balancing act to perform in the country's finances. with the details of what exactly we could expect is our economics correspondent andy verity. ina in a cold damp day in the south london market, ask what they want the government to do about and you will hear two big concerns that have not gone away — energy and food.
