00:00Cries of joy, smiles, tears of happiness, the 20 Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip were reunited with their loved ones on Monday.
00:13They were released by Hamas as agreed under the ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian Islamist movement and the Jewish state.
00:21I'm so excited. We see Elkanah in a video of FaceTime. My sister talked with him and he's very excited.
00:36And she says on the feet and he smiles and she says, tell her, Mom, I'm okay, I'm okay.
00:50The hostages, divided in two groups, were first handed over to the Red Cross and then to the Israeli army before being reunited with their families.
00:59This reunion marks the end of 738 days of captivity for the hostages and just over two years of anguish for their families since the attack of October 2023.
01:12For Israel, these releases are a fundamental step, but they do not mark the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
01:19The Jewish state is still waiting for the return of the remains of 28 deceased hostages.
01:26Israel began releasing hundreds of Palestinians on Monday as part of the ceasefire deal signed between Israel and Hamas.
01:37The freed Palestinians were met by cheering crowds in Beitunia in the West Bank.
01:42The prisoner's office confirmed at least one bus also crossed into the Gaza Strip.
01:47The Palestinians left earlier on Monday from Ofer prison when an armored vehicle flying an Israeli flag had fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a crowd awaiting the release of the prisoners.
01:59Shortly before the release, flyers were circulating stating that anyone supporting, quote, terrorist organizations risked arrest.
02:08Israel's military has not commented on the flyers.
02:12As part of the ceasefire agreement, Israel will release more than 1,900 prisoners in return for the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
02:24250 of those held by Israel were serving life sentences for convictions in attacks on Israelis,
02:31and 1,700 were seized from Gaza in the past two years and held without charge.
02:44For the U.S. administration, the ceasefire agreement in Gaza is the first step towards lasting peace in the Middle East.
02:51According to Massad Boulos, a senior U.S. advisor responsible for Arab affairs,
02:56there is no doubt that the text approved by Israel and Hamas is historic.
03:01This is an absolute final peace agreement.
03:06And as the president said, it's not only about Gaza, but it's the future of the Middle East.
03:12And he's looking forward for a lasting and comprehensive peace.
03:17However, there are still some gray areas in the U.S. peace plan.
03:21Details are lacking regarding the disarmament of Hamas and its future role in the Gaza Strip.
03:27There is also no clarity regarding the possibility of a two-state solution.
03:32So this is something that will be discussed with time. As you know, there are different phases.
03:37The first one had to do with the ceasefire, the release of hostages and exchange of prisoners,
03:43and withdrawal of troops to a certain agreed line. There will be other phases that will come along.
03:51For now, Massad Boulos insists that this peace agreement has the support of the international community.
03:57Polish prosecutors have charged two Russian citizens for spying for Russian intelligence, prosecutors said on Monday.
04:09One of them, who is referred to as Igor R., was additionally charged with acting jointly with three other suspects in sending a parcel containing explosives.
04:18In July last year, a series of parcel fires targeting courier companies took place in Poland, Germany, and the U.K.
04:26Western officials blamed the incidents on the Kremlin.
04:29Moscow has repeatedly denied such allegations, despite a slew of evidence in court cases proving otherwise.
04:37The Dutch government has taken control of Chinese-owned semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia, based in the Netherlands,
04:47deploying a rarely used emergency statute to head off what is called risk to Dutch and European economic security.
04:56According to a statement, the decision aims to prevent a situation in which finished and semi-finished products produced by Nexperia would become unavailable in an emergency.
05:10The Goods Availability Act enables the state to block or reverse corporate decisions at the firm, while allowing day-to-day production to continue.
05:21The move underscores a broader European shift toward using national security tools to control ownership and decision-making in sensitive tech supply chains.
05:33The action is also the latest flashpoint in Western efforts to shield semiconductor ecosystems amid intensifying U.S.-EU export controls and investment screening targeting China.
05:46US President Donald Trump said he could send long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
05:56He talked about this on Air Force One on his way to the Middle East.
06:00But he emphasized that first he planned to discuss the matter with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
06:05I might say, look, if this war is not going to get settled, I'm going to send them Tomahawks. I may say that. The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that. They don't need that.
06:21Zelensky expressed his hopes that the American President will exert a pressure on Russia as strong or even stronger than the one he exerted to achieve peace in the Middle East.
06:31For his part, Putin has proven to be the Middle East.
06:59For his part, Putin has previously suggested that the United States supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine would seriously damage relations between Moscow and Washington.
07:08Trump has taken a tougher stance with Putin in recent weeks after the Russian leader has declined to engage in direct talks with Zelensky on a ceasefire.
07:17I lived in Poland for three years. It was about 1119 days.
07:361119 days.
07:37It was the moment of the revolution.
07:38I didn't hear nothing.
07:39It was the moment of the revolution.
07:41And after that, I didn't hear anything.
07:43Because in that time of the time of thenisky end, it was forced to block all the emotions that were made out.
07:45It was impossible for us to block all the emotions that were made that they were made.
07:50They forced us to block all the emotions that we have.
08:20The war, which destroyed their brain, destroyed their neurons, destroyed their neurons.
08:41And today we have to find the most optimal, the best and the simplest instruments,
08:48which would restore this neuroplasticity.
09:11It's really fantastic for young people that there's a lot of job opportunities to build quantum.
09:21I mean, this was kind of unheard of when I was being a student.
09:26And this is really nice.
09:28All I can say is if you're interested, join a good group and generally people get their PhD.
09:35But we have non-PhDs that contribute greatly to our company.
09:39So, you know, one particular person has a background in computer science,
09:46does all our networking and contributes fantastically to it with his own skills,
09:51skills that we don't have.
09:55Nous déclarons l'HUMER 2025, le Festival des Cinémas de Léon ouvert!
10:03Well, I can tell you what made me fall in love with French cinema.
10:12Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samurai.
10:15And...
10:16That was mine.
10:17Was it?
10:18Yeah.
10:19The work of William Friedkin for me.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Michael Mann.
10:22Yeah.
10:23Terrence Malick.
10:24I have this soft spot for gangster movies.
10:27I think Goodfellas, Godfather 2.
10:31I think it's appropriate to mention Heat.
10:33I've seen that a lot.
10:34I think to smuggle human character studies like these films I'm mentioning into American genre movies fascinates me.
10:41And I will also say, I think Paul Thomas Anderson's most recent film, One Battle After Another,
10:46that's one I'm going to watch a lot, again and again, I think.
10:49To be quite frank, I'm here because of Sean.
10:51Because he just introduced my film and has spread his love for sentimental value.
10:56So we spent all last night together and I'm a huge fan of Sean Penn.
11:01Yeah, I think he's a wonderful actor.
11:03Oh, just, well, I didn't know, he didn't explain to me how big this situation was.
11:14I heard my name a lot tonight, but I've been very comfortable with it in the sense that knowing Cuckoo's Nest was going to play,
11:23there was no question I was going to be able to find great humility under the circumstances.
11:29One of the great magic moments in my life in cinema was the first time I saw Jack Nicholson in Miloš Formans
