colombians, but also anger because colombians, but also anger because colombians are tired of dealing with this situation, especially with a gorilla group that has no political means, according to colombians, and they are only looking for money and trying to increase their capital. i know this story has onlyjust broken but is anything emerging about how this release was actually secured because it has been a while since the original kidnap, his mother was released pretty quickly, but not the case with his father and it was a huge hunt. case with his father and it was a huge hunt-— case with

but once we knew that it was the eln who had him in their hands, it changed because currently there is a negotiation of peace between the current government of gustavo pedro and this guerilla group, so there is and this guerilla group, so there is a little bit of credibility and that the guerilla group said they didn't know it was lewis diaz's father, and once they knew they wanted to release him. so in their words this was a humanitarian move —— louise diaz. there was no fire, no hunt, most of the army that were in place left to days ago in order to get this process done. it was a unilateral move and what we know is that that negotiation which many colombians hate all criticise at least is still in place. the government is still going to try and get peace with the guerilla movement.— get peace with the guerilla movement. ., ~ , ., , movement. thank you. good news emerging- — time for a look at the business news now with ben thompson. we start in hollywood, where the longest strike ever to hit the us entertainment industy could soon be over. the main screen actors�* union sag—aftra says it's reached a �*tentative' deal with studio bosses to end the walkout shortly, after 118 days on strike. the dispute over pay, conditions and the threat of artificial intelligence to performers�* livelihoods has paralysed production at film studios and streaming services. michelle fleury is in new york for us. 118 days, not been good news for the actors but they say there was a point to make. what have they secured in this deal? we point to make. what have they secured in this deal?— point to make. what have they secured in this deal? we still don't have all of the _ secured in this deal? we still don't have all of the details, _ secured in this deal? we still don't have all of the details, we - secured in this deal? we still don't have all of the details, we are - have all of the details, we are waiting for those to be released but it is fair to say the issues were pretty complex and we do know a little bit from the studios about what they have secured. the largest increase in minimum wages in the last a0 years, performers will also receive higher residuals, repeat fees they get for work on shows that are for streaming services. that had been one of their primary complaints initially, was that the shift away from linear television to streaming companies like netflix and others, it meant they were not reaping the same salaries they had in the past so they were pushing hard to redress that. the other issue, perhaps the one most difficult to resolve, related to these of artificial intelligence. this is increasingly being used in storytelling where the studios turn to digital technology to clone the likeness of an actor so it can be used in future productions. the unions say they have achieved unprecedented provisions for compensation that will protect its members from the threat of ai. those details still waiting to find out more about, all said and done though, the longest strike, finally over, now they can get back to the business of entertainment.— get back to the business of entertainment. . , ., entertainment.

able to create content and do what they are supposed to do, but in the short—term, some firms have done pretty well out of it, it has invented the good news, explain how. this strike is going on notjust with the actors but also writers, so that has meant many productions shutdown. if you are not in production, you are not spending any money. that has been helpful in some cases to studios, in part because with what is going on in the industry, there is a shift from linear tv, away from that to streaming, and none of the players involved have been immune to the changes, including the streamers. as they face more competition from traditional players. this had been a chance for these companies to retrench and save a little bit of money, but it is a short—term gain. in the long run this is difficult, warner brothers says it will cost them around $300 million, so the key for everyone involved is to get back to work. ., ~ , ., now, the british department store retailerjohn lewis

office has insisted that rishi sunak has "full confidence" in his home secretary, after she sparked a major row by questioning the integrity of the police. writing in the times, suella braverman said officers "played favourites" when policing protests by cracking down on right—wing demonstrators and leaving what she called pro—palestinian mobs "largely ignored". number ten also said it had not approved ms braverman's article and was looking into what had happened. our political correspondent peter saull reports. another pro—palestinian march like this in london is planned this weekend, on armistice day — but not at the same time as the commemorations, and away from the cenotaph. the police believe the risk of major unrest isn't high enough to warrant calling it off. there is an almighty row about in westminster, though, with the home secretary at its heart. take a look at the language suella braverman uses here in an article for the times. she writes... she goes on... and then adds... she was called to explain herself in the commons, but the policing minister went on her behalf, explaining that ms braverman was with a close family member who's been having an operation. this weekend should first and foremost be about remembering those who gave their lives in defence of this country. any disruption to remembrance services would be completely unacceptable and an insult to their memory. and i have confidence the metropolitan police and other police forces will ensure this weekend passes off peacefully and without disruption. the home secretary's political opponents weren't holding back, though. she is deliberately inflaming community tensions in the most dangerous of ways. she is encouraging extremists on all sides, attacking the police when she should be backing them. it is highly irresponsible and dangerous and no other home secretary would ever have done this. a key question here is whether or not the prime minister sanctioned the home secretary's words. and this morning, downing street confirmed that rishi sunak did not clear the article, with number 10 adding that it was looking into what had happened. for now, though, we're told she does still have the prime minister's full confidence, but beyond westminster, there are wider concerns about the impact her words will have on the ability of the police to do theirjob. it is fraught with difficulties and there is a heavy political element to many of the things the police in london have to tackle. but the police are not political. they must police without fear or favour. their operational independence is of enormous importance. this is a politician who certainly knows how to get tongues wagging, and maybe, just maybe, she has one eye on being conservative leader one day. but is her current position on increasingly shaky ground? pete saull, bbc news. a line of breaking news, islamic jihad has released a video postage is it claims to hold in you may remember that hamas holding a lot of hostages, but it was thought right from the beginning that a number of groups were actually holding the hostages, so the palestinian group islamichhad has released a video of hostages it claims to hold in gaza. we will bring you more on that has beget it. a significant line to chase for us here. we will keep an eye on it and bring you more and soon we have it. number ten continue to look that article as they look to see, asking similar questions about what the home secretary has said, including this. suella braverman has also been accused of deliberately stoking tensions by using northern ireland as a point of comparison while characterising pro—palestinian protests as "hate marches". live now to belfast and our northern ireland political correspondent jayne mccormack. in terms of northern ireland, remind us what the home secretary said specifically about that in this article. , ., ., ., article. these are not the common staff made — article. these are not the common staff made the _ article. these are not the common staff made the biggest _ article. these are not the common staff made the biggest headlines | article. these are not the common i staff made the biggest headlines but particularly in northern ireland they really have raised eyebrows. it was while suella braverman was talking about pro—palestinian protest which she has called hate marches that she then went on to say they are an assertion of primacy by certain groups, particularly its limits, of the kind we're more used to seeing in northern ireland. she didn't finish there, she then continued and said, disturbingly reminiscent of ulster are reports that some of saturday's group and having links to terrorist groups including hamas. the question being raised after the article came out was, who was he referring to? typically in northern ireland, every summer, we have orange order parades that take place with hundreds of demonstrators from the president and unionist and loyalist community. they would be the most well—known marches in northern ireland. a source close to the home secretary clarified that she was actually referring to the activities of dissident republicans who would not have as big marches, so i think the conclusion to be drawn in northern ireland about what suella braverman said is that she doesn't appear to have great knowledge of the situation in northern ireland and whatever view is taken on her remarks, there is a feeling that it would not have done anything to help the government with where talks are currently at two get stormont, devolution back up and running, talks with the largest unionist party here at the minute, not going anywhere particularly quickly. suella braverman's interventionwnd i would think were not have helped relations, so they haven't gone down well. the sdlp underlines party have both called for rishi sunak to sack suella braverman —— and the alliance party. live pictures from number ten, i give you a line coming to us from the number ten spokesman, saying they are continuing to look into what is happening regarding suella braverman's piece. the spokesperson saying she had no further updates on what has been said this morning but the prime minister had confidence in the prime minister had confidence in the home secretary and her team, repeating that. asked if suella braverman had broken the ministerial code, she said it wasn't energy she could comment on, wouldn't comment on any private conversations that may have taken place between the prime minister and his ethics adviser. the latest coming in from downing street stop let me return to that news i brought you in terms of islamicjihad, the video they say they have released, i am just leading the latest copy from paul adams injerusalem. he says this is the first glimpse of israeli hostages for around ten days in the video released by the second largest armed faction in gaza, that is islamicjihad. two hostages are seen addressing camera, one is a woman in her 70s, addressing camera, one is a woman in her70s, it addressing camera, one is a woman in her 70s, it seemed fitting in a wheelchair, she was abducted from one of the kibbutz is on october seven, the second is a teenage boy from the same community in the video, both hostages sharply criticising israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, not clear if they are reading from a script. that is some of the latest information coming to us from jerusalem from our diplomatic correspondence. more here on that in a moment. the chief executive of mcdonald's in
