people around the world and the bay area are celebrating the festival of lights that happens every year. this is what festivities look like every day. lit candles will symbolize the inner light that will protect from the spiritual darkness. it's one of the major holidays, which will last five days, with the main celebration happening the third day. that'll do it for us here at 5:00. we'll see you back here for an hour ♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs week news" from new york with jericka duncan. good evening, and thanks for joining us on this sunday. we begin tonight with some breaking news. the u.s. carried out two air

strikes on what u.s. military officials say is a training facility and a safe house in eastern syria. defense secretary lloyd austin said the strikes were in response to iran-linked attacks on american personnel. the strikes come four days after two u.s. warplanes hit a munitions warehouse in the same region. turning now to the israel hamas war, tonight gaza's largest hospital is caught in the crossfire. the world health organization today called for urgent action to end the ongoing attacks on hospitals, saying, quote, the world cannot stand silent while hospitals which should be safe havens are transformed into scenes of death. meanwhile, cbs news has learned negotiations to free the hostages taken by hamas are ongoing as qatar continues to mediate deal-making. about 240 hostages remain in gaza following the terrorist organization's october 7th raids which triggered the war. cbs's debora patta leads us off

tonight in east jerusalem. and a warning, some of the images we're about to show you are very hard to watch. >> reporter: good evening. today marks 37 days since those hostages were kidnapped by hamas, and now president biden's senior middle east adviser, brett mcgurk, will be traveling to the region this week to focus on efforts to release them. they came in their thousands, chanting "now, now." israelis demanding the immediate release of the nearly 240 loved ones abducted by hamas on october 7th. a reminder when it comes to pain, there are no winners. after more than five weeks of war. in gaza city, fierce street-to-street battles around several hospitals, including the largest, al shifa, now a front line.

hollow-eyed doctors and nurses work in torchlight in a health system that is on its knees. no medicine, no beds. this little boy struggling to breathe, treated on the floor where he lay. our colleague, cbs producer marwan al ghoul spoke to a doctor inside al shifa hospital. >> who told me that smell of death everywhere in the hospitals. they don't know where to bury those bodies. the administrations of the hospital attempted to dig mass grave. >> reporter: the doctors here pledged to save lives but fear nobody will make it out alive. already at least three babies relying on incubators have died after the power ran out.

the medical staff want guarantees that the nearly 600 patients still inside can be safely evacuated. the israeli military has kept up its drumbeat of accusations. ha hamas, it says, is using the hospital as an operating base, a charge the group denies. and palestinians continue to flee southwards, but it is a perilous journey. "my son was shot dead in the chest," this man sobs. "i had to leave his body behind." sometimes only a number identifies the dead. this is the true cost of war, counted in the lives of thousands of civilians killed -- men, women, and children now being buried in nameless mass graves. the israeli military has said it

would help evacuate over 40 babies still inside al shifa hospital, but the hamas-run health ministry insists they have not yet been told, jericka, how this will happen. >> debora patta, thank you. well, today foreigners and injured palestinians began arriving in egypt again two days after the rafah border crossing over gaza was closed. as cbs's ramy inocencio reports, those left behind in gaza, conditions are becoming more dire by the day. >> reporter: scared, tired, and hungry, hundreds of thousands of gazaens fleeing israel's strikes in the north are desperate for aid. "there is no food or drink. people are fighting in bakeries," said this man. while at hospitals, some doctors have no choice but to operate through the pain. >> we're really running out of things now, dressings particularly for the burns. we're running out of anesthetic

and analgesic drugs. >> reporter: the food and supplies they need must pass through here on the border of israel and egypt. israel's military told cbs about 100 trucks now get inspected here each day in convoys of 20 to 30 vehicles. they then drive about 25 miles west to rafah, constantly monitored to make sure there's no contraband added in. these are aid trucks now on their way to gaza. they are carrying everything from water to biscuits to detergent to toothpaste. the goal here is to make sure that these get into the hands of palestinian civilians and not weapons or fuel into the hands of hamas. fuel, too, is in short supply. some apparently attempting to use cooking oil for their cars, as is potable water. some children drinking from the mediterranean. "i add sugar to make it sweet," says this boy. in the first month of the war, the united nations says just

over 500 trucks with supplies have been allowed into gaza from egypt's rafah crossing. before the war, about 500 trucks went in each day. some people are so desperate, they've gone back home in the rubble of their shattered lives. "it's the lesser of two evils," this man said. "better for the children than being around sick people, hunger, and fear." but most choose to move, distancing themselves as fast as they can from the clouds of war. ramy inocencio, cbs news, at the nitze na border crossing. today the pentagon announced that five u.s. service members were killed in a helicopter crash in the mediterranean sea. we learned the crash happened friday during a refueling exercise in the eastern part of the mediterranean. the pentagon has not specified which branch the downed aircraft belonged to. well, house speaker mike johnson is pitching a new plan to avoid a government shutdown.

his proposal would fund the government into next year, but it's already drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle. cbs's natalie brand has details tonight from the white house. natalie, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. the white house in a statement calls this proposal a recipe for more chaos and shutdowns, and it comes just five legislative days before the next deadline to avert a shutdown. house speaker mike johnson faces his first big test this week, revealing over the weekend a proposal for a two-step stopgap funding measure. the first bill would extend money for veterans programs, transportation, housing, agriculture, and energy until january 19th. the second would fund the rest of the government, including defense, until february 2nd. house foreign affairs chair michael mccaul of texas was asked today on cbs's face the nation whether republicans have the votes. >> there's no choice here. i mean the world is on fire from where i sit. >> reporter: but already some gop hard-liners are pushing

back, upset the continuing resolution does not include cuts to funding levels. it also doesn't include emergency aid for israel, ukraine, or the southern border, setting the stage for a separate fight. and any plan will require compromise with the democratic-led senate. >> i don't like what the house is talking about, but i'm willing to listen. >> reporter: while the politics play out, the american federation of government employees says its members are once again on notice and on edge. >> they've got families to support. they've got kids to support. the holidays are coming up. cold weather is coming up. they've got car payments. they've got rent. they've got mortgage payments. >> reporter: now, the house proposal could get a vote as early as tuesday. the speaker can only afford to lose a handful of gop votes, meaning he could need democratic support in order to pass it. switching gears, natalie, president biden has a critical meeting this week in san francisco with the chinese president. a number of topics on the

agenda? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. president biden will be trying to stabilize rising tensions between the u.s. and china. a major focus will be trying to reopen military communications channels, which have been cut off for more than a year. taiwan, of course, another big focus. and china's military aggression in the indo-pacific. experts on the region, though, say don't expect major breakthroughs. jericka. >> all right. natalie brand for us tonight, thank you. well, new details are emerging tonight about the federal investigation into new york city mayor eric adams. "the new york times" reports the fbi is looking into weather the democrat improperly weighed in on permits for the turkish consulate building. cbs's astrid martinez has the very latest tonight from new york. >> reporter: in a growing federal investigation into new york city mayor eric adams, fbi agents are sifting through his text messages according to "the

new york times." they reportedly wants to see if adams pressured fire department officials to fast-track permit approval for a proposed high rise to be used for the turkish government's consulate in manhattan despite safety concerns with the building. "the times" says the 2021 text messages were discovered in adams' phones and ipads after the devices were seized by authorities last week as part of a larger corruption probe into foreign funds. "the times" saying adams was asked by turkish officials for help keeping the opening of the turkish headquarters on schedule. adams has denied any wrongdoing and spoke briefly to reporters today following an unrelated event in queens. >> what i'm really hoping is that these periodic leaks stop. we're cooperating. we need to do this together so all 9 facts can come out. >> reporter: cbs legal analyst jessica levinson. >> just because his iphone and ipad were seized by the fbi, it doesn't mean that he's the target.

it means they think that there is information on those devices. >> reporter: and after the raid of the mayor's chief fund-raiser, neither adams nor his campaign have been accused of any wrongdoing. and at this time there have been no charges filed in connection with the investigation. >> astrid martinez, thank you. a state of emergency is in place in los angeles after a massive fire forced the closure of a busy downtown roadway. it's unclear when the interstate 10 freeway will reopen. cbs's elise preston reports from los angeles. >> reporter: crews in downtown los angeles are assessing the damage after a massive fire indefinitely shut down one of the city's busiest freeways. >> this is a serious situation for our infrastructure. >> reporter: the flames broke out saturday at a pallet yard and melted guardrails and damaged overpass support columns. los angeles mayor karen bass. >> as much as traffic is a challenge for all of us in our city, there will be no time like

this when we will need to come together and all cooperate until the freeway is rebuilt. >> reporter: governor gavin newsom declared a state of emergency after more than 160 firefighters from 26 engine companies spent three hours putting the fire out. repairs will start once it's safe for crews. >> it's of significant consequence to the economy, to the health and safety of angelenos, 300-plus thousand vehicles go through this corridor every single day. >> reporter: now, the governor and mayor said there's no timeline yet for reopening as officials wait for the fire investigation and hazmat assessment to be finished first. jericka. >> elise preston in l.a. tonight, thank you. straight ahead on the cbs weekend news, a soccer superstar bids a painful farewell to her sport. plus the new helmet technology behind this gridiron
