1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: And time now for our foreign correspondent. We have UK

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: and europe correspondent Gail Downey with us. Now.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Good morning, Gail, Morning Francesca.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Tell me the British Israeli hostage is expected to be

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: among the first hostages free today. Where is this it?

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: Okay? So we have an update on that. She has

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: actually now been released, along with two other young women,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: doren Steinbecker, who was also snatched from the kibbutz where

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: Emily was working, and the other hostage and again another

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: young woman called romy Gone. She was ambushed when she

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: tried to escape the Supernova festival along with hundreds of

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: others when her mass attacked. The three young women were

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: handed over to the Red Cross. They're now currently at

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: an Israeli military base. The Israeli military took them from

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: the Red Cross to escort them back to Israel, which

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: is where they now are, and I can tell you

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: that the mothers are due to meet them shortly.

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Our wonderful news is the concern in the UK about

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: the stability of the ceasefire.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's concern everywhere about the stability of

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: the sea spire, because of course the second stages is

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: the rebuild, you know, the infrastructure, if you see the

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: images in Gaza and other cities, who is now going

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: to be in charge of that, who is going to

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: pay for it, and who ultimately is going to run

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: the strip because of course there are our fears about

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Israel's intent just as much as our fears about the

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: intent of Hannas and also rival groups within the region.

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: Oh, look, it's going to be a really special reunion,

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: isn't it. Incredible realities Absolutely yeah, Oh, Gail, thank you
