profiters filled the streets in the largest demonstration of its kind in the u.s. since israel began its strikes on gaza in response to the hamas terrorist attack on october 7th. >> gio: and secretary of state blinken meeting with mahmoud abbas discussing the efforts to restore calm and stability to the area. and this morning, we are getting a close-up look at the israeli defense forces in the war zone. the idf taking our ian pannell into gaza. ian is now back in tel aviv and that's where we begin right now. ian, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, gio. this was a rare short, and quite intense opportunity. to see what the situation was like in gaza on the ground, we have been reporting from outside gaza although we're getting images from the inside. neither the egyptian government nor israelis would allow foreign journalists in, but this was a chance to travel with the israeli defense forces inside to see it for ourselves. obviously our view was limited. there were places we couldn't

go and the israeli defense forces checked our footage for operational security. this morning, for the first time since this war began, we go into gaza. embedded with troops, with the 401st armored brigade for a few hours. the first time they've taken journalists into the war zone since it began. >> we're just on the israeli side of the border with gaza we're together with a tank regiment, they've got tanked, they've got armored personnel carry 80, and they're going to take us basically down this track straight into gaza. i asked a commander, what is the situation on the ground? his answer was very simply, nowhere is safe there. >> reporter: the convoy starts to move. the door of our heavily armored vehicled locked tight and an intense journey begins. the lieutenant colonel is the deputy commander of the 401. >> how tough has the fighting been? >> it's tough. it's tough. they're trying to surprise us. they're trying to see where we're strong, where we're weak, and how they can take it as an

advantage. >> reporter: we were driven about three miles into the gaza strip towards the northern side of gaza city. it's a scene of utter devastation. building after building, scarred and blackened by the bombardment. the crackle of gunfire and crumple of tank fire ever present. the landscape is apocalyptic. >> we're here in gaza at the moment. we're here together with the israeli defense forces. we're not allowed to say exactly where we are. you can see the tanks next to me. you can hear the sound of tank fire and we're hearing gunfire. it still remains an incredibly active zone. >> reporter: this is what we weren't allowed to see. israel's relentless attack on gaza. the night the sky turned orange from shelling. buildings in flames at this refugee camp hit by another air strike. all hands on deck to rescue the survivors. it's been nearly a month into this war. more than 9,000 people have been

killed in gaza according to the hamas-run health ministry, and israeli officials reporting over 1,400 deaths. inside gaza, the health system beyond capacity. >> this is full of patients. no vacant place to admit people to the inpatient department as you can see. still it is always the same scene. >> reporter: medical staff are overwhelmed and facilities overrun. doctors at al sheeba hospital worked by flash light without electricity or fuel to keep the lights on. the u.n. saying nearly half of hospitals in gaza are no longer functioning. an emergent group, hamas, releasing this video shows fighting with israeli forces in the northwest of gaza. abc news can't confirm when exactly this was filmed, but the administration is calling for humanitarian pause in the fighting to get aid into gaza, to prevent more mass casualties and to try and help get the roughly 240 hostages out. >> mr. president, any progress of a humanitarian pause? >> yes.

>> reporter: well, incredibly despite the presence of israeli troops on the ground, despite all the bombing and all the movements of land troops, hamas is still able to try and launch rockets here in israel, late last night. as we're going into bed, we could hear the sound of multiple rockets being intercepted by the israeli iron dome system. they've started a war they're not going to start until they achieve victory. gio? >> gio: just unbelievable images and reporting there. i wonder looking at those images, what struck you the most about your journey into gaza? >> reporter: i mean, so they took two reporter groups in. one went about a mile or so, and we went a bit furn three miles or so. but you realize the level of destruction, and how difficult it's been just to travel that short distance, and i've seen this before in previous conflicts, especially mosul in iraq against the islamic state. it makes you realize how tough

the battle is, how tough the terrain is, and even though every single building is smashed, you realize that hamas still has the capability to move through tunnels underground and pop up behind israeli forces. we could see gaza city from the outside. you could see the heavy destruction there. it makes you realize, and i spoke to the deputy commander there. i said, how long do you think this is going to go on for? he said, well, put it this way. my daughter's birthday is in january, and hopefully i'll be back in time to share it with her. whit? >> whit: an important perspective. ian pannell, our thanks to you and your team. we truly appreciate it. we move on now to more on that surprise meeting between secretary of state blinken and palestinian authority president abbas with so much at stake and fears of a wider conflict growing. abc's senior white house correspondent selina wang joins us from the north lawn with what we're learning this morning. good morning, selina. >> reporter: good morning, whit. in a high-security surprise visit, secretary of state antony blinken met with the president of the palestinian authority in the occupied west bank. the u.s. reaffirmed its commitment to deliver more aid

to gaza and said the extremist violence against the palestinians in the west bank must stop. violence has gotten much worse since october 7th. since then, the united nations says that the israeli military and armed settlers have killed more than 130 civilians in the west bank. this comes amid discussions about the future of gaza. blinken has said than effective and revitalized palestinian authority would govern gaza. this would be extremely difficult. the palestinian authority has long been seen as both weak and out of touch by many palestinians. and the secretary of state's visit comes right after he met with arab leaders in jordan, the egyptian foreign minister calling for an immediate cease-fire, while jordan's foreign minister told mr. blinken, quote, stop this madness, but the u.s. arguing an immediate cease-fire would benefit hamas. janai? >> janai: thank you so much, selina, and here at home, not far from where selina was standing, tens of thousands showing their support for the palestinian people taking to the streets in washington, d.c.

the protesters demanding a cease-fire in gaza and calling to cut u.s. aid to israel. abc's em nguyen is in washington with more. em, good morning. the images were just startling. >> reporter: startling indeed, janai. good morning. yes, signs and banners have been left here outside the white house. some reading "free palestine," and others reading "genocide". this after thousands descended here on washington in this latest pro palestinian protest. massive crowds gathered calling for a cease-fire condemning the biden administration's support of israel. demonstrators were seen on social media trying to scale the white house fence. some spraying graffiti on d.c. buildings and statues. some brought out palestinian flags, others, fake coffins to the area, as israel's bombardment of gaza has killed 194 people according to the health ministry in gaza. israel says their goal is to eradicate hamas after the group

attacked the country on october 7th killing some 1400 people according to israeli officials. d.c. police tell us one person has been arrested for destruction of property and they're investigating several other incidents of vandalism in the area. gio? >> gio: thank you so much. now to the unfolding crisis in nepal as rescuers are trying to save victims of a strong earthquake. the death toll is more than 150 and it's likely to rise. abc's lama hasan joins with us that. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, gio. that's right. dozens of aftershocks have also been reported in the area with thousands of residents spending with night in the open in freezing temperatures too scared to sleep indoors, but amid the devastation, there are some glimmers of hope. this is the dramatic moment a woman was pulled out alive in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in nepal. it's a race against time,

rescuers launching a massive operation, rushing to reach anyone still trapped beneath the rubble. thousands sleeping in the freezing cold. the earthquake devastating with a magnitude of 5.6 hitting the himalayan nation just before midnight on friday night. many were still sleeping. at least 157 people are dead and more than 150 others injured so far, and with landslides, homes collapsing and communication lost in many villages, the fear is the death to will rise. the quake so powerful, premiers were felt as far away as india's capital new delhi, some 500 miles away. so the focus for the nepalese government right now is to reach those still trapped under the rubble. trapped under the rubble and get to those in the district and those who desperately need it, whit. >> whit: time is critical. lama, thank you. we turn now to politics and the race for 2024. this morning, we are marking one year from election day with extensive political coverage across the network. the republican field now

descending on the state of florida, also the home of ron desantis and former president donald trump. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks is there as well. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. this week marks one year out from election day. the republican candidates here in florida making their case that they will be the best ones to take on president joe biden, but of course, with former president trump still enjoying that commanding lead in the primary polls, these other republican candidates know they are running out of time to shake things up. with one year to go until election day and just over 70 days until primary voting begins, the pressure is on. >> prime time starts right now. >> reporter: republican presidential candidates descending on florida this week. those hoping to catch trump looking for a showdown in the sunshine state. >> florida has shown the way forward for the republican party.

>> reporter: but at a summit hosted by the state republican party, florida felt like trump turf. [ chanting "trump" ] >> reporter: this compared to chris christie, one of the sharpest trump critics in the race, took to the stage. [ boos ] >> reporter: governor asa hutchinson met with jeers at the summit too. >> while some will ignore the destructive behavior of the former president, i assure you we ignore it at our own peril. >> reporter: two men in the race call florida home, florida governor ron desantis is extremely popular among rank and file republicans here. still if the primary were today, if gop voters we talked to divided on whether he would win. >> yeah, i'm a big fan of the governor. >> if the primary were today, would he win florida? >> he would absolutely win in florida. >> obviously trump supporters think trump would still win here in florida. what's your take? >> i think trump would win. >> reporter: trump saying it is time for others to drop out.

trump this week is set to testify in a civil fraud trial. there a judge finding he was dishonest about his business assets. trump denies all wrongdoing. he is again, skipping the next republican debate next wednesday in miami making it hard for other candidates to square off eye to eye with the front-runner. >> what's your debate strategy? >> speak the truth. be unhinged. >> unhinged? >> yeah. untethered. i'm at my best when i'm brutally candid, when i'm unscripted, and so i want to keep it that way. >> reporter: israel, the border, energy policy, all topics we expect to come up at that debate. now i was struck last night by how many of the voters here in florida said that they didn't love how trump went after their governor. they were excited to see the former president, but they told me they thought his name-calling went too far, janai. >> janai: interesting to hear a candidate say the strategy is to be unhinged. maryalice, thank you so much.

now let's bring in our own jonathan karl, abc news chief washington correspondent. jon's new book "tired of winning: donald trump and the end of the grand old party out november 14th, early congratulations, jon. >> jonathan: thank you. >> janai: we were shown updated support for president biden. break down those down for us. >> jonathan: voters are not excited about either candidate. let's first look at president biden. only 33% have a favorable view of president biden. 50% unfavorable. it was actually a little better than the last poll, but not the kind of numbers you want as an incumbent going into a campaign. but look at this. president -- former president trump, his unfavorables at 60%. 60% in our poll saying they have an unfavorable view of president trump. >> janai: wow, and just a year out from the election. so focusing on president biden, he has to walk a really fine line within his own party, especially over the war between israel and hamas.

how does this stand to impact him in the next year? >> jonathan: well, look. there still is very strong support for israel in congress among both parties, but you're starting to see among democrats, some real concerns. we had 14 democratic senators sign a letter urging israel to have a pause in the fighting to allow humanitarian support to come through, and i think that this is going to be growing. when you look at the polling, younger voters and many of those democratic voters, almost all of them, saying that they have an unfavorable view of how israel is doing this, actually very negatively looking towards israel on this, and that's going to affect biden because he has put himself firmly in, you know -- he's a firm supporter of israel. >> janai: yeah, and on the other side as republican candidates prep for this week's debate, former president trump is preparing to take the stand in his civil fraud trial here in new york. you've reported on donald trump for years. what is your take on this moment? >> jonathan: i mean, this is just incredible. we have the debate that he is not going to be going to on

wednesday. president trump is going to be there taking the stand, getting sworn in, and answering questions in a trial. we've seen all kinds of legal proceedings. this is the first time that that has happened, and this case gets to the heart of his -- what he has tried to make the appeal of his politics. he is the most successful business guy ever. i'm the biggest. i'm the best. this really gets to the heart of that, and could in the end, make it very impossible for him to do business in new york, the place that made donald trump. >> janai: but we saw the impact for him. in florida, all those years, really incredible, jon, thank you so much. make sure too tune into "this week" later this morning. george stephanopoulos speaks with deputy national security adviser john feiner and republican steve scalise about the war between israel and hamas. george has an exclusive interview with virginia governor glenn youngkin ahead of his support's legislative elections on tuesday. gio, over to you. >> gio: fascinating conversation there.

time now for the weather and somara theodore. samarra, you're following some flooding there in seattle, huh? >> somara: yeah, the atmosphere kicked into high gear at the end of this week and beginning of this weekend. thus the i-5 highway here, we're seeing tons of rain inundating cars and they're experiencing tons of flooding. this will whip the coastline from washington, oregon, northern california through monday and tuesday, even bringing with it very strong winds. wind gusts could reach anywhere from 40 to 50 miles per hour. as far as rain totals go, they could see 2 to 3 inches. remember, this is additional rainfall on top of what we've just seen from areas like eureka and medford. now the bigger picture across the country is more of a temperature story as we leave the northwest. you can kind of see this zonal flow, and if you look at the colors, that's the temperature contour there. you can see where the arctic cold is locked up to the north and where we're experiencing unusually warm weather, farther down south in dallas and temperatures will be in the 80s. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's going on a

>> somara: and that's your local forecast. i'm just happy to see temperatures jump up a little bit. i'll take anything i can get. i'm not ready for winter. >> janai: amen. yep. it's not warm enough though for whit and his tank tops. thank you so much. >> whit: you never know. you never know. >> janai: now to the world's largest marathon happening today right here in new york city. more than 50,000 runners including some of our very own abc news colleagues. reena roy joins us now with

more. good morning, reena. you're near the finish line, but there is so much excitement out there. >> reporter: hey, janai. good morning to you. yeah, that's right. there really is no sunday like marathon sunday in new york city. in fact, i just spoke to a man who's volunteering here and he says it is the best day of the year every year, and i think that is pretty much what sums it up. as you said, we are right by the finish line here, and crossing that line is what thousands of runners have been working so hard for, and let me tell you. there are a lot of them. as you said, more than 50,000 from around the world. it is the biggest marathon in the world, and there are more than 2 million spectators also expected to come out and take over the city. the runners will be taking over the city as well, crossing through all five boroughs are starting in stalten island, making their ways through brooklyn, queens, the bronx and

manhattan, before finishing here in central park, and this is such an exciting moment for them. they have been training and of course, carb loading, getting as prepared as can be to run 26.2 miles and few look closely, you might see some very familiar faces. our very own robin roberts, david muir, and many more from our abc news family will be taking part in an abc news relay for charity. a big shoutout to them, and guys, it won't be long before we start seeing those first elite runners crossing that finish line, and this is a stat that blew my mind as someone who can barely run a couple of miles. take a listen to this. the men's winner last year finished in just 2 hours and 8 minutes. that is a 4:55 pace, guys. >> janai: wow. >> whit: that is incredible. >> janai: that is. >> gio: robin tells me she's running three miles. >> janai: good for her. i'll be carb loading. >> whit: i will too. just to watch. extra carbs? i'll take it. coming up here on "good morning america," stepping down. what we're learning about the resignation of a university of

in a statement to the athletic, stalions saying, i do not want to be a distraction from the hope to be a championship run for the team. his attorney adding to stalions knowledge, neither coach harbaugh nor any coach or staff member told anyone to break any rules or were aware of improper conduct. >> the big ten have to come to a decision, and i would expect one in the next 72 hours or so, on will there be a punishment for michigan in realtime that impacts this year? >> reporter: now, the big ten has said, due to the ongoing nature of this investigation, it will not comment but keep in mind, ohio state is um's biggest rival. these two schools scheduled to play at the end of the month. a chance at a possible national championship on the line here, so you better believe, janai, that the buckeyes are paying attention to how this plays out. >> janai: that rivalry is intense, alex. thank you so much. well, if you are feeling more chipper than usual this morning, i think we are around

'tis the season at sunrise for 6:30 a.m. how nice, and sunset at 4:45 p.m., womp womp, but could our days switching to standard time be numbered? the answer might surprise you. it's notoriously popular bone on the small screen -- >> daylight saving, not plural, time, has never saved us from anything. >> reporter: and in real life, a recent poll finding 62% of americans want to eliminate changing our clocks entirely. tiktokers shining a light on how annoyingly dark our afternoons become when daylight saving time goes away. >> how much daylight could we possibly need to save?

it's 5:16 p.m. it's pitch black outside. >> what the? are you serious right now in. >> reporter: daylight saving time was implemented 105 years ago as a way to save on energy consumption during world war i, but decades of clock clashing followed. congress repealing it and president wilson vetoing the repeal because he likes to golf. and at one point in may of 1965, the twin cities were keeping two totally different times. then in 1966, president johnson signed the uniform time act. the american medical association says all of that changing of the clocks comes with potential risk. >> any chang that affects your sleep cumulative over time can with it bring all the detrimental effects of sleep loss. that can include mood disorders, loss of focus, loss of judgment and even long-term issues such as changes in your blood pressure and blood sugar. >> reporter: last year, the senate unanimously passed the sunshine protection act which

would make daylight saving time permanent, meaning more daylight in the evening hours all year long. but the act didn't pass in the house and never made it to president biden's desk. now, that bill is still in congressional limbo. in the 1970s, the united states attempted a full year on daylight saving time. it was repealed in part because early morning darkness in the winter made driving difficult and dangerous. but these days, only folks in arizona and hawaii leave their clocks as is all year round. sounds nice to me. >> gio: what do you like better? >> janai: i like the summer -- i don't know. >> gio: you like the summer? >> whit: that was a well thought out answer. >> reporter: the evening sunlight. >> janai: yeah, but we were saying there's always that time where you take a nap and wake up like at 6:15 and you're like, is it morning or evening? >> whit: you don't know. real panic. >> janai: it is. time now for a check of the weather and somara theodore. >> somara: i think time is a construct, you know? >> whit: let's get real deep on

some folks haven't even taken down their halloween decorations yet, and retailers are already advertising their big holiday deals. >> find the season's hottest toys at macy's. >> reporter: from pumpkin spice to peppermint mocha, the festive flavors are back at starbucks and so are the holiday cups, but is all this holiday cheer too much too soon? one tiktoker thinks so. >> hey. what are you doing? i just set that up, man. trick or treat's done. you shouldn't be dressing up in costumes anyway. >> christmas decorations don't go up before thanksgiving. >> reporter: but perhaps we should leave the final word to -- >> it's time. >> reporter: the queen of christmas herself. ♪ >> retailers are starting extra early because they want shoppers to do multiple rounds of shopping. >> reporter: according to the national retail federation, holiday shopping is expected to

reach record levels during november and december, a survey by retailmenot says consumers are spending 29% more than last year on holiday shopping. that's an average of $932, great for retailers and likely great for consumers too who may want to spread out their budget or avoid that stressful holiday rush. >> it's really smart to start looking for things that there's no rush to buy, but that you know you might need for the hold holidays. maybe some new clothing. maybe some new bedding or things that you need to host holiday guests. >> reporter: and look. there can even be some social benefits to getting a jump on the yuletide season. some research has shown that decorating the exterior of your home can make you appear friendlier to your neighbors. so remember retailers are competing with each other. the best advice, if you see an unbelievable deal that you can't live without, go for it, but black friday is when you are likely to see the best prices. i'm down for the christmas creep.

>> whit: all right. we are back >> whit: all right. we are back now with a look at "monday night football" the match up of the new york jets hosting the los angeles chargers. joining us with this take, as always, we welcome back espn veteran coach herm edwards.

herm, good morning. i'm not even -- we're not even going to talk about the 49ers. >> they're on a bye. you're good. >> whit: i'm living in the past, but, you know, it's been painful. we'll move on from that. we'll start in new york and the jets. they started the season 1-3. they've won three straight games. how have they been able to turn this thing around? >> well, i think coach has done a real nice job of telling these guys, there's a certain way we're going to have to play football going forward. offensively it's with their running game, and then defensively it's really their ability to take the ball away and not allow points, and i think they're playing complementary football. zach wilson's doing a nice job of not turning the ball over. hall is their guy on against offense, the runner. they're running the ball well. we know they have an outstanding defense, you know, one thing about football that traveling well is a good run game and, obviously, defense. and now, they play a team this week that has a pretty good offense. so this will be a nice test for them. >> whit: so let's talk more about zach wilson because coming into the season, it was all about aaron rodgers and this was going to be a new team under him, and then he gets hurt. zach wilson had some struggles, but how would you evaluate his recent play?

>> well, i think he's been steady and that's a good thing. you know, with him, he cannot be aaron rodgers. there's only one aaron rodgers. but just think about this poor guy. they brought in aaron rodgers and four plays into the first game, aaron rodgers goes out and he has to go play. well, the expectations of this team were sky-high due to the fact they bring in aaron rodgers now, all of a sudden, he's the quarterback, he's got to play consistent, don't turn the ball over, and this is the form we put in to win. >> whit: the chargers have a great offense, too. it should be a great game. herm edwards, thank you so much. you can catch the jets hosting the chargers tomorrow night on espn. we'll be right back.
