00:00 Israel and Hamas have agreed to release 50 hostages held in Gaza during a four-day pausing

00:06 fighting.

00:10 As the civilian death toll in Ukraine surpasses 10,000, President Zelensky looks ahead to

00:14 EU accession negotiations 10 years after the deadly Maidan Square protests.

00:20 The Dutch election is underway.

00:22 Polls show four parties are neck and neck.

00:25 Whoever they vote in will be the first new prime minister in 13 years.

00:30 The families of victims killed during the troubles in Northern Ireland challenge the

00:34 law granting amnesty to those allegedly responsible for deaths under investigation.

00:42 More than a month into Israel`s war in Gaza and the cabinet has approved a ceasefire deal

00:47 that will see 50 hostages held by Hamas released, all women and children, during a four-day

00:52 pause in fighting.

00:54 In return, around 150 Palestinian women and children held in Israeli jails will also be

00:59 freed.

01:00 Ahead of the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Reservist his government

01:05 was committed to getting all of the hostages home.

01:08 Later, his government said any pause in fighting did not mean the war was over.

01:13 "There are rumors outside, as if after the return of our hostages, we will stop the war.

01:25 So I would like to clarify.

01:28 We are at war and we will continue at war.

01:32 We will continue at war until we get all of our hostages, get rid of Hamas, get all of

01:41 our kidnapped and our victims and ensure that in Gaza there will be no perpetrator that

01:47 threatens Israel."

01:49 The pause allows for 308 trucks a day to enter Gaza, bringing vital food, medicine and fuel.

01:55 Israel says the first hostages will be released Thursday and the law will be extended by an

02:00 additional day for every 10 hostages released.

02:05 Netanyahu has been under increasing pressure from the families of the 240 hostages held

02:12 captive by Hamas since October 7 to do more to get them home.

02:17 Protesters have been on the streets each night calling on the Israeli government to negotiate

02:21 a deal.

02:25 Addressing the faithful gathered here in St. Peter`s Square for his Wednesday general audience,

02:29 Pope Francis turned his thoughts to those who were suffering in wars around the world

02:34 and he`s appealed, he prayed for those who are suffering in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine.

02:39 And he recalled meetings he had earlier today with relatives of Israeli hostages who were

02:45 still kept by Hamas in Gaza and Palestinian families who were suffering the consequences

02:53 of the Israel-Hamas war.

02:56 We know that as described by the Holy See press office, those meetings were of an exclusively

03:04 humanitarian nature.

03:06 Pope Francis` aim was to express his spiritual closeness to those who are suffering.

03:13 On a previous occasion, the pontiff said that anyone, any individual, whether Christian,

03:19 Muslim or Jewish, is sacred and precious in the eyes of God.

03:23 These are the words that Pope Francis used.

03:26 And on another occasion, he also said that releasing all hostages is a crucial step to

03:32 end conflict.

03:33 He called for a ceasefire and said that a two-state solution was needed in order to

03:39 achieve that.

03:40 Georgia Orlandi for Euronews and the Vatican City.

03:47 A hospital on the front line in Ukraine`s eastern Donetsk region crumbling to pieces

03:51 after a Russian missile strike on Tuesday.

03:55 According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one person was killed and eight people were

03:58 injured.

03:59 The United Nations says more than 10,000 civilians have been killed since Russia`s full-scale

04:04 invasion in February 2022.

04:07 This after President Volodymyr Zelensky held bilateral meetings with the head of the European

04:11 Council, Charles Michel, and Moldova`s leader, Maya Sandu, in Kiev.

04:17 Zelensky reiterated Ukraine`s request to join the EU and is eyeing the EU`s December summit

04:23 for positive indications.

04:25 The leaders also discussed security issues and the challenges both Kiev and Kishinev

04:30 face as winter approaches.

04:33 Sandu, Zelensky and the first lady, Zelenska, also marked the 10th anniversary of the revolution

04:38 of divinity, commemorating the 100 lives lost in deadly clashes between security forces

04:44 and protesters in Maidan Square in 2013.

04:48 The mass protest ultimately led to the ousting of Kremlin-backed President Viktor Yanukovych

04:54 and gave rise to a new generation of anti-corruption pro-European movement leaders.

05:01 Polls are open in the Dutch election.

05:04 And even though people are still voting for their 150 members of parliament, one thing

05:09 is for sure, they will have a new prime minister for the first time in 13 years.

05:15 Foreign Prime Minister Mark Rutte is on the way out.

05:18 Polls show four parties are neck and neck going into today`s election, including Gert

05:23 Wilder`s far right party for freedom.

05:26 Wilder`s party for freedom is slightly ahead of the People`s Party for Freedom and Democracy.

05:31 If Wilder`s party succeeds, it could mean a woman.

05:34 The current justice and security minister takes the top office for the first time.

05:39 She`s the first liberal politician to admit that she could form a coalition with the far

05:44 right.

05:45 There`s also a heavyweight candidate on the left side of the political scene.

05:49 That`s Franz Timmermans, the former EU climate commissioner.

05:53 He gave up his international career to return to politics.

05:56 The election results are expected later tonight.

06:02 The families of victims who lost their lives to sectarian violence in Northern Ireland

06:06 during the troubles between the late `60s and 1998.

06:11 They are taking legal action after a controversial law granting immunity to ex-British combatants

06:16 involved in the conflict was approved in September.

06:19 The new law has been fiercely criticized by all political parties in Northern Ireland

06:23 and the Irish government.

06:25 The Council of Europe has also expressed serious concerns.

06:28 My family is destroyed.

06:31 You never get over losing - I never get over losing my husband.

06:37 His family never get over losing him.

06:40 It doesn`t go away.

06:41 You live with it morning, noon and night.

06:42 It`s with you all the time.

06:43 UK government passed a law that denies us the rights of all the victims of the fair

06:52 deal.

06:53 The new law calls for the creation of a truth and recovery commission and offers amnesty

06:59 to British security personnel and paramilitaries for their part if they cooperate with its

07:04 inquiries.

07:05 It will also limit ongoing criminal investigations from this time period.

07:10 Human rights organizations say the move is a denial of justice.

07:14 When 3,500 people were killed during the conflict over British rule in Northern Ireland, around

07:20 1,200 deaths remain under investigation.

07:27 After Poland`s liberal opposition coalition won a parliamentary majority, some hope controversial

07:33 judicial changes introduced by the previous PIS party will now be overturned.

07:38 Warsaw needs to have an independent judiciary in order to unfreeze European funds.

07:44 We didn`t really feel the support of the European Union institutions, especially European commission.

07:50 But since 2019, 2020, they realized that the problem is big.

07:55 Now we feel their support, their milestones negotiated actually by the peace government.

08:01 Most of those milestones concerns the repairment of the judiciary.

08:05 We have worked on five bills that should repair what`s been damaged within the judiciary in

08:10 the last eight years.

08:12 And we hope that the new government will help us to help the society to make some repairs

08:18 and changes for the better.

08:20 The first step to the depoliticization of the National Council of the Judiciary Parliament

08:25 has already appointed new representatives to sit in the council.

08:29 We will take part as the people elected by the parliament in the works of the council.

08:36 We will look at the hands of those who are already in the council from this judicial part.

08:42 And I think that this is the beginning of changes, because first of all, the KRS`s bill should be

08:48 changed so that the judges would again elect the judicial part of this body, not the politicians.

08:55 But we have a lot of opinions that this process should be democratized.

09:01 Poland is set to receive more than 5 billion euros in financing to reduce their dependence

09:06 on Russia, previously frozen due to prior actions from the outgoing nationalist government.

09:11 The funds should be launched immediately, because it is a result of the European law.

09:16 We have been talking about it for a long time, that the reasons for which these funds are

09:20 being held are not really legal, they are purely political.

09:23 We are happy with every decision that returns the state to the law.

09:28 The state to the law is that Poland receives money.

09:31 We have the first decisions, although from a legal point of view nothing has changed.

09:34 And very well, because this money simply belongs to the Poles.

09:38 Yesterday, the European Commission recommended the release of 5 billion euros for Poland.

09:42 However, these are not funds that depend on changes in the Polish justice system.

09:46 For this money, Poland will still have to wait and work.

09:50 Magdalena Chodownik, Euronews, Warsaw.

09:53 Chad GPT creator Sam Altman is back at the OpenAI as CEO.

10:00 Days after he shocked dismissal plunged the pioneering artificial intelligence firm into crisis.

10:06 Altman`s exit on Friday triggered intense lobbying from OpenAI`s biggest investors,

10:11 including tech giant Microsoft for his return.

10:14 Earlier this week, Microsoft had announced they would hire Altman to lead an AI research team.

10:19 It`s invested billions of dollars into OpenAI, incorporating its tech into various products, including its search engine Bing.

10:27 It`s been 60 years since one of the United States` most recognizable presidents was assassinated.

10:38 President John F. Kennedy was shot as his motorcade drove through Dallas, Texas in 1963.

10:47 There`s numerous people running up the hill.

10:50 Once in the back and once in the head. Kennedy died 30 minutes later of his injuries.

10:55 The assassination led to a national outpouring of grief.

10:58 Police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a U.S. Marine veteran. Oswald was then later shot.

11:04 Before his death, he denied killing the former president.
