Israel says the deal to implement a four day position fighting in gaza has been delayed until friday at the earliest, so that means israel continues to strike gaza. In an attempt to destroy her mos and families on both sides have have to wait to bring their loved ones home. Or join now by M P R S. Lawn fye in rama in the israeli occupied west bank. I learn what's holding up this agreement well.

israel national security adviser says talks with hamster still progressed, saying, and that the release of hostages held in gaza and palestinian detainees held in israel will not take place. As you mentioned before tomorrow, he didn't give an explanation for the delay.

The deal, as we understand IT, is this a four day pain fighting fifty hostages released by homos in stages like one batch per day and one hundred and fifty palestinian prisoners and detainees released from jail in israel. Now just to know, this isn't a published document. So we're relying on both sides to describe what they have agreed on.

And there could be discrepancies. For example, last night in a speech, israeli prime minister Benjamin net n. Yahoo said the international committee for the red cross will visit all of the hostages inside gaza and deliver medicine, but today a red cross spokesperson told me the group is an aware of any such agreement. To do that is ready to do so. We've called upon that so .

that that means is going to be pretty stressful for a lot of people. What kind of things are? Are people saying.

yeah I mean, for families of hostages kidnapped in israel on october seven, they are like on tent or hooks waiting for this release. Here's a man named name, shock AR. My colleague, brian man, met him in a television square where protesters have gathered, and he is angry at the netty yahoo government for not getting a deal to free all of the roughly two hundred forty hostages.

The majority of these areas will demand this from our government, and we don't care what are the means to get this deal.

Meanwhile, here in the west bank, i've been meeting families of some of those hundred and fifty palestinian prisoners in detainees were slated for released. Most of them are from the west bank and jerusalem. They're mostly teenage boys, a few teenage girls and several dozen adult women.

Some of them have been in israeli jails for years. But any homecoming preparations here are really muted because of the toll that this war has taken. Just south of here in gaza. Spoke this morning with a woman in saha hunt tui. She's a french and english teacher here in mula, and he said she's been an agony .

because our people in gaza, they are suffering from now forty seven days. The are matters there physically, and the are matters here psychologically.

Meanwhile, in israeli military spokesperson says forces continued to bomb gaza some three hundred targets there in the past twenty four hours, he says they are using ground forces, drone and precision guided missiles. Israel says this is all aimed at destroying hamas laun.

This deal isn't in trouble as IT.

I mean, it's hard to tell like it's not unusual for temporary ceasefires to be delayed or to falter once they do start. There are a lot of details to work out, as I mentioned, the discrepancy over what net yahoo said last night and what the red cross is saying today. I mean, remember that the hamas leadership is still believed to be underground in tunnels under gaza.

And negotiators that i've spoken with have told me this requires passing notes, like down through the tunnels, then up to gaza, above ground, out to egypt and to negotiators in katar and the us. And in israel. And so not only did IT take time to get this deal weeks of negotiations, but IT takes time to negotiate the implementation of all of the details to work IT out that mp s learn.

Player, learn. thanks.

You're welcome.

Maybe you roll your eyes .

when you hear about black friday, and lots of people think it's over height, but I still is the busiest shopping day of the year as IT kicks off the holiday shopping season. So what are we buying and how can we afford IT mp s lying to sell you? Because here should we be expecting massive crowds? But should I stay home?

I do. Um that is your personal choice. But I do think you should expect a fair bit of crowd is definitely a lot of folks shopping online.

The vast majority of americans say they plan to shop on black friday over the long weekend. If you think through monday, we're actually expecting one hundred and eighty two million shoppers. And that's according to Katherine collin at the national oration.

Just for context, that's actually the highest we've seen since we started tracking IT this way in two thousand seventeen.

In other words, that's more people shopping than ever between now in cyber monday, which means I get to sound like a broken record because I seem to say this every year. But this holiday, we are on track to set a shopping record. Retailers are forecasting that spending will grow IT will grow a bit slower than we saw during the pandemic boom, but in line with the decade prior. And an average shopping budget, according to the national national federation, is around eight hundred and seventy five dollars for gifts, decorations, other holiday stuff. And that's slightly more than last year.

So typically around this time aliena, my eyes and desire are bigger than my budget. Any great deals out there.

you know, these are the best Prices of the year. That is why people roll their eyes and still shop. The last couple of years, we did see inflation, higher Prices, put a temper and holiday discounts.

But i've got good news for you this year. Adobe analytics, which tracks online Prices, is predicting that we will hit a high mark on deals. They're saying discounts will be as highest thirty five percent off between now in cyber on monday and as highest sixteen percent often in the weeks to follow.

right? So what am I getting in debt for?

Um I think probably lot of classics, if you are like other folks in this country, you might be buying lots of clothes and toys. Those are the time .

that's me on toys.

Most popular ones are legos, hot wheels, cars, Barbies, other those lots and nostalgia for adults out there. And there is a theme this year, maybe this once for you um a record number folks are saying they're planning to splurge on personal care items like make a beauty, other personal care stuff. And I do want to give a shout out to gift cards.

They're popular gift if you ever feel feel bad about buying one. I know I always do well, so is every year fine? That gift cards are the most common thing people say they actually want to receive .

and slightly more personal than they just cash.

I think just a little bit just one step .

up from that thing. It's are our wallets ts ready for all this?

You know shoppers all year have been saying that they are tightening their belts. We're talking about inflation, prioritizing food and necessities. But we've also seen people, you know, they're still traveling, they're eating out a lot.

And there is, I think, a high chance folks will feel like you is the season to splurge and celebrate. I talked to Kitty Thomas SHE runs the carney consumer institute as a thinkin inside the consulting from carney. Here's what he said.

I do think ultimately, people still bad people are in reported wages are good. If they're working, they feel like they can buy gifts.

She's mentioning their unemployment remains near record lows. Wages have been growing also. Inflation has cooled off in. Some Prices are actually in.

But there is another side of the story, which is that we are shopping a lot on credit. More people are starting to fall behind on credit card bills, especially focus on their thorium. And so Thomas suspects lots of people will spend through the holidays and face the consequences into any.

to any four. Yeah, that's next year. That's mp R, U. kino.

thanks. Thank you.

In atlanta, a new police training facilities being built on eighty five backers of what would land protesters have long railed against the plan. More than sixty people have been arrested this year during protest. Some have been violent, and some protesters are now charged with recovery ring.

Some are also facing domestic terrorism and money launder ing charges at land's mayor and Georgeous governor still support training facility. Petition to put the training centers funding on the ballot installed in court were joined now by remain cruse of W A B E in atlantic has been following this story. What exactly do the protesters want? And why.

while aid for more than two years now, protesters, and that includes environmentalists and anti police groups, they've been saying that we've fear the state of the art facility will further military police from around the country who come to train here, and they say that construction is going to access rebate environmental damage in the slow income majority black area.

So while you have some groups who say that the facility should just be built somewhere else where IT isn't in people's backyards and destroying valuable Green space in the community, you also have some people who don't want this facility to be built at all. And protests have only intensified, and they gained national attention after state trooper shot and killed a protester at the site in january. And then recently, a special prosecutor announced that he would not be bringing charges against those officers involved. He said that he found their use of deadly force was objectively reasonable. And this comes as he said earlier, while dozens of protesters are facing regret ing and domestic terrorism church, so protesters have also been calling on those to be dropped.

yeah. And despite all this, the mayor of lana, the governor George theyve, still stood behind the project. Why is that?

City officials say the training centers needed to improve things like the escalation training, to boost morale and to recruit and retain more officers. The atlanta police department is still about five hundred officers short and so quite Frankly, they say that they are simply spending too much money right now having to rent other facilities or that they're training and parking lots of old shopping centers or abandoned schools with mold and other problems. Ah the city also already owns this land where the center is being built and once it's completed it's supposed to have like walking trails for the community and a place for them to keep their horses in k lines as well as a mocks city where officers can train on how to conduct raids which is why protesters call this project cop city um just last week, protesters said several cement truck on fire owned by a company working on the project but atlanta police chief dan share bomb said that despite this type of action, the project is still on track to be completed in december of next year.

I saw that organizers delivered hundred sixteen thousand signatures city, how to get rare ballot measures started that would ask a land of voters to wait in on whether they want the facility. Where does that stand?

Well, guess they submitted the senators to city hall in late september, but they've just been sitting there ever sense because almost immediately, city officials refused to begin verifying them until the judge rules on whether they're even valid. So there is a court hearing scheduled for next month where .

we should find out more that should creigh with W A B. E. thanks. Thank you.
