to get a packet of flour. and after we finish - the line for flour, we go to stand in line for gas. the bbc has new analysis that shows that hamas and other groups had been openly training in gaza for almost three years before its deadly attack on israel. qatar says israel and hamas have agreed to a two—day extension to their current truce. the white house says hamas has, "committed to releasing another 20 women and children over the next two days." we will speak tonight to the qataris who brokered that extension. the idf says 11 hostages are free. we will get reaction from the israeli government and the extension agreed in the last few hours.

good evening. had there not been an extension to this four—day truce, then the fighting would have resumed in just under two hours�* time. as it is, both sides will stand down for a further two days. so far, 11 israeli hostages have been released with more palestinians expected to be freed. we can show your life prison images where authorities are standing by. the us national security council spokesman, john kirby, said the us welcomed the extension. the humanitarian pause in gaza now in its fourth day, will be extended for another two days through thursday morning. israel time. this humanitarian pause has already brought a halt to the fighting, together with a surge of humanitarian assistance. now, in order to extend the pause, hamas has committed to releasing another 20 women and children

over the next two days. we would, of course, hope to see the pause extended further. and that will depend upon hamas continuing to release hostages. that is the picture you are looking at on the right hand box. this is the west bank where tyres are burning waiting for the release of we think around 33 prisoners this evening. we have seen such joyful scenes of the last few days over the israeli families receiving people but better speed for the other families with loved ones remain in gaza. this is the scene in the west bank. they are awaiting the release of loved ones. hamas official have told the reuters news agency this temporary truce will have "the same conditions as the previous one". so far, there has been three palestinian prisoners released

for everyi hostage freed under the current deal. there have been reports that hamas has a further a0 hostages it could release in return for a further four days of the ceasefire. that would presumably mean that another 120 palestinian prisoners could be released. it also gives the un and its partners more time to get aid into southern gaza, with hundreds of trucks on the egyptian side still lining the approach to the rafah crossing. the un said today it was hopeful that a second crossing could be opened in time. there had been a hold up in today's release of hostages due to disagreement over the list of names. israel says that the finalised list has now been agreed, and family members have been notified. our special correspondent orla guerin has this report on the hostages. lining the streets tonight to welcome home a mother and daughter, freed from gaza yesterday.

and there is hope that others will come home. qatar and the white house saying that the ceasefire deal and release of captives will continue for two more days. already savouring her freedom, margalit moses, who is 78. she tells hospital staff in tel aviv they are amazing. so is she, freed from gaza on friday, after almost 50 days in captivity. already a survivor of cancer, and now of hamas. some homecomings are overshadowed by sorrow.

this woman has been reunited with her uncle, but her mother was not freed by hamas. though israel says mothers and children were supposed to be released together. he says his niece couldn't speak aloud for weeks. she says the terrorists that held them told them to keep it low, all the time, especially at night, they didn't allow them to talk a lot at night in the day they were making them quiet, told them to quiet it quiet so she got used to whispering. now her voice is very low. she is 13 today, her family are having a small party at the hospital. they say she is doing well, on the surface at least. she is not afraid to go sleep, she's eating, she doesn't afraid to turn off the light, i think she doing pretty well here, again, i still don't know how deep the scar in her heart is, i think we will find out later.

israel's prime minister was grim faced today, visiting bullet—riddled homes where hamas killed and took hostages on october 7th. he has said that when the ceasefire ends, israel will go back to war in gaza, with full force. these hostages have been through so much. i can give you information on those released, 11 hostages. the qatari foreign minister spokesman saysis qatari foreign minister spokesman says is really hostages released include three french citizens, to match germans and six argentinians. we can speak live to dr majed al—ansari, the official spokesperson for qatar's ministry

of foreign affairs. thank you for coming on the programme this evening. what additional information has hamas offered today on the hostages it holds? figs offered today on the hostages it holds? �* , , ., offered today on the hostages it holds? a ~ ., . ., holds? as you know, the a ridge of agreement — holds? as you know, the a ridge of agreement for _ holds? as you know, the a ridge of agreement for the _ holds? as you know, the a ridge of agreement for the four-day - holds? as you know, the a ridge of agreement for the four-day pause | agreement for the four—day pause included division adding these to the odds in the case that hamas was able to provide ten additional names of hostages that can be released, as a result we are confident now that we have the extra names who hamas took on that day although they are still coming in, they can commit to 20 hostages being released and that will take place in next of days so this would mean basically we are

optimistic that we are going to find 20 of them release within the next two days. 20 of them release within the next two da s. ~ ., 20 of them release within the next twoda s. ~ ., , , 20 of them release within the next twodas. , , ., two days. would you presume those to be women and — two days. would you presume those to be women and children? _ two days. would you presume those to be women and children? according - two days. would you presume those to be women and children? according to l be women and children? according to the language — be women and children? according to the language of— be women and children? according to the language of the _ be women and children? according to the language of the agreement, - be women and children? according to the language of the agreement, that| the language of the agreement, that this humanitarian pause is based upon, the first agreement is based upon, the first agreement is based upon women and children being released for civil and then that should be followed by civilian men. right now, the indication are getting is that we are still within the women and children being released and the privatisation mainly humanitarian reasons going out. do mainly humanitarian reasons going out. , ., ~' mainly humanitarian reasons going out. i. ~ . mainly humanitarian reasons going out. ~ . , out. do you think the deal could be extended beyond _ out. do you think the deal could be extended beyond these _ out. do you think the deal could be extended beyond these two - out. do you think the deal could be extended beyond these two days? | out. do you think the deal could be i extended beyond these two days? we extended beyond these two days? - are quite hopeful. it was not an easy feat. we spent a lot of hard time negotiating for the agreement to this humanitarian pause. now we

have the extension in place for two days we are optimistic it can work towards a more sustainable pause between both sides. you have to remember that there is a lot of lack of information and the situation in relation to the hostages, numbers, status and the possibility of getting them out and who might have all the hostages but these four days were instrumental in collecting that information and allowing hamas to collect that information on the ground and therefore allow for the extension to happen within the parameters i talked about. that fills us with hope we can work now towards a more sustainable negotiation. fin towards a more sustainable negotiation.— towards a more sustainable neuotiation. . , , ., ., negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes _ negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes of— negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes of the _ negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes of the truce - negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes of the truce was - negotiation. on that issue, one of the purposes of the truce was for| the purposes of the truce was for hamas to search for the rest of the missing people because of course they do not hold all of them. there are other groups that hold some of

he said even more dangerous for the supply of aid, unless there is a comprehensive agreement there will be no hostilities around the area where aid is distributed." 0ur correspondent lucy williamson has been looking closer at the condition in gaza, as the weather begins to turn. sometimes the impact of war hits hardest when the fighting stops. when the drones overhead are filming, not firing. in this district of khan younis residents,eturn to reclaim their home, clinging to the smallest remnants of their earlier life. islands of normality in a vast distorted world. in gaza city, the dead have been cut off from the living by weeks of fighting. among them, this man's father and nephew, he returned to find them lying dead in front of their house. translation: my father and nephew were martyred 14 days ago, _

when the truce came, i was able to bury my father. the truce his first chance to return and bury them. translation: what did we do? we are neither hamas nor fattah and we have never held a weapon in our lives. food and fuel are being trucked into gaza during the pause in fighting, but everyone in the southern city of khan younis many are struggling to find enough to eat. translation: the situation in khan younis is _ catastrophic as you can see. people are waiting in lines for three days to get flour and after we finished the line for flour we go to stand in line for gas. in this town, few buildings have been spared. this brief window on to gaza's new landscape may be closing soon. the present hard to look at, the future hard to see. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. we can speak live to lucy, she joins us from jerusalem.

some detail to give viewers, we are being told by the foreign ministry in qatar that those released from israeli prisons include 30 miners and three women. i told you earlier, 11 israelis have been released ii israelis have been released including three french citizens, two german citizens and six argentine citizens. in response to the extension today what the public mood around the extension? i extension today what the public mood around the extension?— around the extension? i think there has been a — around the extension? i think there has been a lot _ around the extension? i think there has been a lot of— around the extension? i think there has been a lot of support _ around the extension? i think there has been a lot of support for - around the extension? i think there has been a lot of support for the i has been a lot of support for the extension on both sides. here in israel the government is doing something of a juggling act with its main priorities, destroying hamas and getting hostages back. it's under a lot of pressure from the army, military, not to pause for too long, not give hamas too much time to regroup and it's under pressure from the families of hostages in israel that have been running a big public campaign to deliver thing it can to do what it can to get every

last hostages out. i think this pauses popular but the government is caught somewhere in between the two pressures. you caught somewhere in between the two ressures. ., . , , ., pressures. you have been focusing on the aid operation _ pressures. you have been focusing on the aid operation in _ pressures. you have been focusing on the aid operation in gaza. _ pressures. you have been focusing on the aid operation in gaza. how - pressures. you have been focusing on the aid operation in gaza. how much l the aid operation in gaza. how much of it is reaching northern gaza? where there still people staying put in defiance of the israeli order. how much aid are the. yesterday the un said 61 tracks, _ how much aid are the. yesterday the un said 61 tracks, the _ how much aid are the. yesterday the un said 61 tracks, the largest - un said 61 tracks, the largest amount that i got through since the attacks a couple of hundred i think also entered and distributed in the south where a lot of people have been displaced. as you heard from that report what we are seeing in the truce is giving more of a chance to see the situation on the ground, it is not enough, it is not alleviating people's struggle quite

enough, they are spending hours queueing forfood and enough, they are spending hours queueing for food and feel. as you mention, the resumption of israeli hostilities as and when that happens on the encouragement of people to move into an ever smaller area in the south is raising concern that it's going to make that situation even more drier and difficult. thank ou ve even more drier and difficult. thank you very much _ even more drier and difficult. thank you very much for — even more drier and difficult. thank you very much for that. _ even more drier and difficult. thank you very much for that. after- even more drier and difficult. thank you very much for that. after the i you very much for that. after the break we will speak to the israeli government spokesman. stay with us. let's look at some other stories making news. health officials say someone in the uk has been infected by a strain of flu, similar to the viruses spreading in pigs. it is the first time this strain has been detected in the uk and close contacts are now being traced. the person affected had respiratory symptoms, but has now fully recovered. investigations are under way into the source of the infection. the tobacco company, bat,

is calling for "more stringent," regulations on vaping, including a ban on flavours based on desserts or sweets that could appeal to children. it says the products should be licensed in the same way as alcohol or cigarettes. the uk government is already considering regulations over concerns that many young people are vaping. a new independent adviser has been announced to provide better support for victims of major disasters in england and wales. the ministry ofjustice says the independent public advocate will offer faster help to survivors of major incidents, like the grenfell tower fire and the manchester arena bombing. you're live with bbc news. the israel defence forces said tonight over 150 hostages still remain in gaza. and while they have agreed to an extension of the truce, they remain committed to their military objective of dismantling hamas. "we continue to train and prepare for the next phase," they said.

let's talk then to government spokesman mark regev who has joined us this evening. is that anything you can shower on the 11 is that anything you can shower on the ii hostages who have been released? it the 11 hostages who have been released? , , , . released? it is my understanding we have been transferred _ released? it is my understanding we have been transferred out _ released? it is my understanding we have been transferred out of- released? it is my understanding we have been transferred out of the i released? it is my understanding we | have been transferred out of the red cross and we are waiting for them to be back on israeli soil, only windier back at home can we see this has truly been done and that the a ridge of deal negotiated with help of the americans and egyptians and qataris, only then can we say this has really been done but we think it's only a matter of time now. for how lona it's only a matter of time now. for how long is _ it's only a matter of time now. for how long is the — it's only a matter of time now. for how long is the israeli government prepared to prolong this truce? brute prepared to prolong this truce? we have prepared to prolong this truce? - have said clearly since the very beginning, the framework that was negotiated was four days, a50 women and children and we have said publicly repeatedly that we are —— 50 women and children, we are willing to give in extra day to every ten hostages released so the ball is in hamas court. what

said, hamas understands one thing thatis said, hamas understands one thing that is pressure. i think the pressure of the idf and the idf acting very energetically to this, disrupt hamas military machine and take out its senior commanders, they were desperate for a ceasefire. the only way they could get such a pause was by agreeing to finally release hostages and they know if there is not a continued release of hostages the military operation resumes and i think that influences their decision—making process. all of the people who said israel should agree to a unilateral ceasefire, none of the 50 hostages would have got out. can i go back to what you said, to three—year—old twins, are the part of the group this evening or over the weekend?— of the group this evening or over the weekend? ., . . , the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children — the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children of— the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children of which _ the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children of which there - the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children of which there is - the weekend? tonight. that includes nine children of which there is a i

nine children of which there is a group of two twins, three—year—olds. that is good news for the family concerned. i want to talk about some of the concerns expressed externally today. jake sullivan, the white house national security advisor appears to have indicated that the united states does not want israel to start its offensive in the south until they have a full plan worked out to protect civilians and we had similar things from the british government. andrew mitchell said he doesn't want palestinians to be kettle, his words, into safe zones without assurances from the idf that those same stones are off—limits. do you have a plan for people in gaza if and when hostilities continue? yes i was in a meeting today with officers. there are specific zones in south—west gaza designated for humanitarian purposes. no conflict zones. we are suggesting to the people of gaza now there is a truce may be people do not feel the

urgency but we are people to move to these areas and as the international community, these are the areas where the idf has designated that these are safer areas for people to congregate. i5 are safer areas for people to congregate-— are safer areas for people to congregate. are safer areas for people to conarreate. , ., , congregate. is there space for these eo - le? congregate. is there space for these --eole? it congregate. is there space for these people? it is — congregate. is there space for these people? it is one — congregate. is there space for these people? it is one kilometre - congregate. is there space for these people? it is one kilometre across, l people? it is one kilometre across, four kilometres _ people? it is one kilometre across, four kilometres down _ people? it is one kilometre across, four kilometres down for _ people? it is one kilometre across, four kilometres down for how i people? it is one kilometre across, j four kilometres down for how many tens of thousands of people? quickly. tens of thousands of people? quickl . , ., . ., quickly. there is more than one sace. quickly. there is more than one space- as _ quickly. there is more than one space. as places _ quickly. there is more than one space. as places full _ quickly. there is more than one space. as places full up - quickly. there is more than one space. as places full up we i quickly. there is more than one space. as places full up we can | quickly. there is more than one i space. as places full up we can go to other places — space. as places full up we can go to other places but _ space. as places full up we can go to other places but it's _ space. as places full up we can go to other places but it's importantl to other places but it's important to other places but it's important to start the effort. if you wait for the perfect solution you will not find one. there is a war going on, we have to make the best of what there is. . ~ we have to make the best of what there is. . ,, , ., ., we have to make the best of what there is. . ,, i. ., _, ., there is. thank you for coming on there is. thank you for coming on the programme- _ there is. thank you for coming on the programme. 11 _ there is. thank you for coming on the programme. 11 hostages- there is. thank you for coming on i the programme. 11 hostages released in the last half—an—hour that we know. mark said they had been handed over to the red cross, we understand there being transferred now to israel. three french, to german, six

argentinians and mark saying among them are two 30 twins. we will continue to keep across that and palestinians which we are watching at the prison. stay with us. hello there. it may have been a little less cold today, but earlier on there was quite a bit of rain around. over the next few days, things are changing again because we're back into something drier. barring the odd wintry shower, we're back into colder air again and that means more frost overnight. now this area of low pressure, the weather front and cloud wrapped around it, brought the earlier rain. that's been moving south eastwards, now heading out into the continent, where we'll see more snow falling, particularly for the alps. and then following that low pressure, we're going to tap into colder air that will move back down from the north in the next few days. there's a north—easterly breeze, though, picking up for a while overnight. that's going to blow in more showers off the north sea, push them into england, perhaps towards wales,

a few wintry ones coming into northern scotland. but the rest of scotland, northern ireland and later on the north of england will have clearer sky. so a frost more likely here, whereas further south there's going to be a bit more cloud around. that cloud will break up during tomorrow morning. there still could be one or two light showers in the south—west. and we've got a couple of bands of showers with some snow over the hills moving down across scotland. but for many parts of the uk, may well be a dry day on tuesday. more sunshine than today, but it's just a little bit colder. temperatures of 5—7 degrees. and with those clearer skies and light winds, temperatures will fall away very quickly after dark. and we're looking at widespread frost, as we head through tuesday night, wednesday morning, minus four or minus five, perhaps across some parts of scotland. now, we should have clearer skies and light winds because that area of low pressure is moving south through the north sea. it will bring a few more wintry showers into wednesday across northern parts of scotland and near these north sea coasts. there could be even a bit of snow over the north york moors and into the cheviots, too. but otherwise, again, generally dry.

a lot of sunshine around light winds, but after that frosty start, it's going to be a bit colder temperatures perhaps no higher than two degrees in glasgow, for example. now the forecast for later in the week was causing us a few headaches, but it looks more likely now that this area of low pressure is going to steer to the south of the uk. so the threat of significant snow is reduced, but of course if the low is further north into the colder air, we could be back into a snowy story. but with a low to the south, we're going to tap into much colder air that's going to move down all the way from scandinavia. goodbye.
