The decision to declare both a State Of Emergency and a night time curfew in the Haitian Capital comes after fierce fighting by armed gangs who are now in control of most of the city. During the fighting, gunmen entered the main prison in Port Au Prince and quickly overwhelmed the guards, allowing some 4,000 inmates to escape. Eyewitnesses report seeing several bodies inside and around the prison compound. The gangs in haiti which oppose mr henrys rule sense a possible power vacuum and an opportunity to force him from office. A notorious gang leader, a former elite Police Officer called jimmy cherizier, also known as barbecue, has claimed responsibility for the latest outbreak of violence. He has warned mr henry to stay away from haiti, saying the armed groups in the provincial towns and the armed groups in the capital are united. Given the strength of those gangs, enforcing a curfew may prove extremely difficult. That was our carribean correspondent will grant reporting. Harold isaac is a Freelance Journalist in Port Au Prince. He gave us this update on the situation there. We have entered a State Of Emergency along with a curfew. And this is the answer of the government to the latest developments in the last few hours where the Security Situation has seriously degraded here in the capital of Port Au Prince. For the most part, everybody here are expecting to have a disrupted week as over 4,000 inmates have fled the two Detention Centers the two Detention Centres here in Port Au Prince. And creating a Real Security crisis, aggravating what was already a challenging time to be in the city. So its really a lot of questions with very little answers at this point. Many of the high profiles, especially the colombians or people that were involved in the assassination of the president , some of them decided to stay in order not to get killed in crossfires between the police and gangs, or to have their sentence aggravated as a result of fleeing the prison. So there are many implications for those who have actually fled. 0ur correspondent Barbara Plett usher is in kenya and joins us now. Thank you for your time.

What we know from here is do we know about the situation . Wiat we know from here is that do we know about the situation . Writ we know from here is that Kenyan Police are saying that the Prime Minister left the country via an Emirates Air Flight to dubai minister left the country via an Emirates Airflight To Dubai and he landed safely in haiti on sunday. He was in nairobi in order to sign a Security Deal with the kenyan government which would have removed the last obstacle holding up the deployment of Kenyan Police, a force of about 1000 Kenyan Police, which was aimed to go to haiti to try to bring law and order. But while he was here signing that deal, the gangs took advantage of his absence and launched this coordinated move, as you were hearing. So we were wondering whether the Prime Minister might end up having to be in exile in kenya. But according to Kenyan Police he has returned to the country. We have not had confirmation of that as far as i am aware from haiti itself. Confirmation of that as far as i am aware from haiti itself. What more do we know aware from haiti itself.

There had been legal challenges to the had been legal challenges to the deployment of this kenyan force which is supposed to lead a Multinational Mission to haiti in order to deal with the gangs. So the courts had said it couldnt happen because there wasnt a reciprocal arrangement between haiti and kenya, kenya didnt have the authority to Deploy Police unless there was a reciprocal arrangements. So the two leaders assigned that deal. There were still lots of questions about the next step, whether it would need to be ratified in parliament, whether they would need to go back to the court. Whether the force can now be deployed at all given what has happened in porto Port Au Prince. Given they said the Prime Minister ariel henry is not a legitimate leader, so thats coming from this side as well. From this side as well. Barbara plett usher. From this side as well. Barbara plett usher, thank from this side as well. Barbara plett usher, thank you from this side as well. Barbara plett usher, thank you for from this side as well. Barbarai plett usher, thank you for that update. Lets look at the middle east now. Negotiations for a six week ceasefire in gaza, that is backed by the United States, have hit a major road block. Members of hamas are in cairo, alongside international mediators, but israel says it wont attend the meeting until hamas provides it with a list of hostages still alive. Hamas took 253 hostages when gunmen launched an attack on october 7th. It says it cant provide the information because of israels continuing bombardment and blockade of gaza, saying it was impossible to collect a list of names because the hostages are dispersed among different palestinian groups and in different areas of the gaza strip. The us Vice PresidentKamala Harris has said that people in the gaza strip are starving, and has called on israel to do more to increase the flow of aid into the territory. She said that desperate people seeking food had been met with gunfire and chaos. Heres what the Vice President said. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid. They must ensure humanitarian personnel sites and convoys are not targeted, and they must work to Restore Basic services and promote order in gaza so more food, water and fuel can reach those in need. In another development, benny gantz, an influential centrist member of israels war cabinet, will call on senior american officials in washington on monday. Israeli Right Wingers have criticised his visit. Joining me from london is Yossi Mekelberg hes an associate fellow at the middle east and north Africa Programme at chatham house.

He doesnt like the idea that somebody who might turn against him, or will turn against him in the next election, and according to Public Opinion is actually going to win and win comfortably, is basically now discussing the security issues, how to conduct the role in gaza, the humanitarian aid, the release of hostages, with the american administration, the Biden Administration. This is a clear sign by the Biden Administration they are completely fed up with netanyahu and his right wing government and the approach that in their view harms american interests and the interests of stability in the region.

So he along with some others, in order to bring some rational thinking into the government. There was no love lost, actually, before the last election benny gantz and his party said they want, because of netanyahu corruption, dont want to share power. But the october seven attacks changed everything. But now the frictions are obvious in how they conduct the future of the nation with the palestinian side, how to deal with releasing hostages, humanitarian aid. And i think benny gantz and his colleagues will probably lead to the Israeli Government one day. Probably lead to the israeli covernment one da. ,. ,. , government one day.

The american interests are the interests of peace. And also Public Opinion polls, they will see in washington that if there were elections today, benny gantz is the most likely candidate to become Prime Minister. So this is in preparation, but also sending a signal to the israeli people, you should move on to a new leadership because the current leadership doesnt serve your interests. Yossi mekelberg.

Certainly that is extremely intense at the moment on israel, and also on hamas, in particular to try to reach some kind of agreement on a six week truce, the so called Paris Framework Deal that was laid out more than a week ago. There are talks currently going on in cairo involving egyptian and qatari mediators with a hamas delegation said to be present. It had been hoped israel should have its delegation there as well but israel has not sent a delegation. We understand thats because it has been demanding an advance official hamas response to the paris framework proposals. It also wants in particular a full list of surviving israeli hostages being held by hamas in gaza so that would be part of an Exchange Deal swapped for palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. But a Senior Hamas Official has told the bbc that at the moment, because of the ongoing israeli bombardment in gaza it is not possible for practical reasons to come up with that full list that has been demanded.

The concern is that during ramadan israeli restrictions are expected to be imposed on palestinians access to the most important it muslim site in the old city ofjerusalem, al aqsa mosque. Israel expected to impose restrictions for its own security reasons, particularly driven by the ongoing war in gaza and that will actually ratchet up tensions even higher and could make it even more complicated to get some kind of truce deal.
