00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,280

Speaker 1: Brian Curtis in Hong Kong. Hamas has released thirteen more

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Israeli hostages, including four year old Israeli American Avigail Edon.

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: She has taken hostage back on October seventh, with both

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: of her parents said to have been killed that day.

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Dan is among those now back in Israel and receiving

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: medical care in this latest wave of hostage releases. The

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: releases are on day three of a planned four day truce.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: President Biden says the truce is structured so that it

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: can be extended.

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: That's my goal, that's our goal to keep this pause

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: going beyond tomorrow, so that we can continue to see

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: more hostages come out and serge more humanitarian relief into

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: those and indeed in Gaza.

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Meantime, the issue of aid for Israel may be getting

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: more complicated. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story.

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: Senator Chris Murphy is saying lawmakers should consider conditioning future

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: aid to Israel based on compliance with inner national humanitarian law.

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: I think there's both a moral cost to this, many civilians,

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: innocent civilians, children often losing their life. But I think

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: there's a strategic cost. Ultimately, Hamas will get stronger, not weaker,

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: in the long run if all of this civilian death

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: allows them to recruit more effectively, enabling inside Gaza.

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: Murphy on CNN says a civilian death toll must stop.

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: plans are about to deliver a new bout of UK austerity.

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: That's even as the official fiscal watchdog warned that the

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: strategy assumes a significant squeeze on public services soon. I

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: spoke in an exclusive interview with.

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: Bloomberg, government spending in the UK right now is very

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 5: high levels Historically over this parliament, it's grown at very

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 5: high levels, even in real times after the impact of inflation.

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 5: So I think any commentary or accusation that's what's happening

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: is just simply unfound.

36

00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,560

Speaker 6: pollution by investing in projects aimed at cutting emissions elsewhere.

45

Speaker 6: The goal is to provide more investor certainty. There is

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,920
