04:31FREED HOSTAGES WERE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES, BUT NEARLY HUNDRED HOSTAGES REMAIN CAPTIVE.
04:56THE DEAL INCLUDES THE RELEASE OF 33 HOSTAGES OVER SIX WEEKS.
04:59NEARLY 2,000 PALESTINIAN PRISONERS AND INCREASED AID FOR GAZA.
05:05FUTURE PHASES AIM TO SECURE FURTHER RELEASES AND A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE, THOUGH UNCERTAINTY
05:09LOOMS.
05:12PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SECURED U.S. ASSURANCES TO RESUME FIGHTING IF NECESSARY,
05:17DESPITE EFFORTS TO ADVANCE PEACE.
05:21THE NEXT HOSTAGE RELEASE IS SET FOR SATURDAY, WITH TALKS ON A CHALLENGING SECOND PHASE EXPECTED
05:26IN TWO WEEKS.
05:36Israel has released 90 Palestinians from prison on the second day of the Gaza ceasefire.
05:41A bus carrying dozens of detainees exited the gates of Israel's Ofer prison in the early
05:46hours of Monday morning.
05:48According to a list provided by the Palestinian Authority's Commission for Prisoner's Affairs,
05:53all of those released are women or minors.
05:56Israel detained them for what it said were offenses related to national security, from
06:00throwing stones to more serious accusations like attempted murder.
06:05Their release comes more than seven hours after three Israeli hostages were released
06:09by Hamas and returned to Israel.
06:12The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect after a short delay on Sunday morning.
06:17Phase one will see Hamas release 33 hostages over six weeks in return for hundreds of Palestinians,
06:24being held in Israeli prisons.
06:26Phase two of the deal covers steps towards a permanent end to the fighting.
06:30It would see Hamas release the remaining hostages and the Israeli military fully withdraw from
06:35Gaza.
06:37The third and final phase covers Gaza's reconstruction, with Hamas expected to hand over the bodies
06:42of hostages in return for a plan for rebuilding the Strip.
06:52Some Palestinians in Gaza expressed relief on Monday after sleeping for the first time
06:56in over a year without bombing or fear.
07:00Many were seen returning from Khan Younis to Rafah, only to find massive destruction.
07:22The return of the families comes amid looming uncertainty about whether the ceasefire deal
07:40will bring more than a temporary halt to the fighting, who will govern the enclave and
07:44how it will be rebuilt.
07:47The United Nations has said that reconstruction could take more than 350 years if Gaza remains
07:53under an Israeli blockade.
08:01This railway station in Damascus used to be the pride of Syria, connecting Europe to the
08:07Arabian Peninsula during the Ottoman Empire.
08:12Now, some hope it could be a symbol of the country's revival after the fall of Assad's
08:17regime last December.
08:21Generations of Mazen Mala's family, including himself, used to work at the Qadam station
08:26before it was destroyed in the war.
08:48Syria's railway never returned to its former prosperity under Assad, and Mala stayed away
08:54as the military maintained control of much of Qadam.
09:00He and others hope the railway can be cleared of its rubble and its dark past and become
09:04a central part of Syria's economic revival after the war.
09:10Mala hopes it will bring job opportunities and that his son can keep the family tradition
09:15alive by working at the station.
09:24This is the main thing in the Tunisian kitchen, it's the centerpiece of Tunisia, the Tunisian
09:44state.
09:45The Tunisian state is known all over the world, especially after the renaissance of Brunus,
09:52which was the most successful period in the world.
09:59Tunisia is an art, if you are fascinated by something, you can create with it, we don't
10:16need money, we work with passion, we work with love, that's why I always work with passion,
10:23not with love.
10:24There is a story of love, a story of love, a story of affection, that's why I work with
10:33it.
10:34We have to work with love, we have to work with passion, we have to work with love, we
10:41have to work with passion, we have to work with love, we have to work with passion, we
10:50have to work with love, we have to work with passion, we have to work with love, we have
10:59to work with love.
