bufied buried in the ancient find buried in the ancient italian city. the israeli cabinet has voted to approve a six—week ceasefire in gaza. it's the first phase of a deal which if implemented in full will end the is—month war in gaza. the meeting lasted over six hours with some ministers having threatened to resign. they were arguing the agreement rewards hamas. the first hostages are now due to be released as early as sunday. in return, israel says it will release dozens of palestinian prisoners who include some detainees as young as 16. hamas will return 33 israeli hostages over this initial six—week period. these pictures are from egypt where trucks are waiting to bring aid into gaza. under the

deal, israel willallow bring aid into gaza. under the deal, israel will allow 600 trucks into gaza every day — that's 12 times more than at the moment. in another development, the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas says it's prepared to assume full responsibility of gaza. at the moment, the palestinian authority partly controls the israeli occupied west bank. well, protests both for and as shown here against the gaza ceasefire deal have been taking place across israel. since the draft deal was first announced on wednesday, officials in gaza say more than 100 palestinians have been killed by israeli air strikes. half of them women and children. 0ur international editor has this report from jerusalem. this is the boy who lived. asad halifa, three years old. he is being looked after by neighbours in gaza city. crying. and that is his cry for help from the rubble the night before last. he was strong enough to wave. the men had been about to

abandon their search. and he was strong enough to try to clear concrete dust from his mouth. the israelis killed asad's parents, his baby sister, aunt and uncle when they destroyed the building a few hours after the ceasefire was announced. the background buzz is from an israeli drone. miraculously, asad only had cuts and bruises. he has been taken in by his mother's best friend. translation: this little boy lost his mother and father. because a pilot flying a plane in the sky took a decision, and took away all the care he had. their neighbourhood, rimal, used to be the richest part of gaza city. 50 miles away injerusalem, the israeli cabinet ratified the ceasefire agreement. ultranationalists voted against. they want prime minister netanyahu to resume the war.

the faces of the 1,200 killed in the october attacks are everywhere in israel. this was outside the prime minister's office, also a reminder that israelis are deeply divided over the best way to get the hostages back. netanyahu's critics say he's broken his promise to rescue the hostages by destroying hamas completely. instead, he's made a deal with hamas. translation: our message l is very clear, that a ceasefire deal is a surrender to hamas. we will only support a deal if all hostages are released. that would send the message to the enemy that we are the rulers. benjamin netanyahu's coalition crisis is going to be of little importance to donald trump, who is always going to put the interests of his own presidency first, and he wants to re—enter the white house being able to claim, with some justification, that he was able to deliver a ceasefire that

joe biden could not. now, longer term, the structure of the ceasefire could be a problem because it's over a period of weeks and months and it's in phases, and that gives plenty of time for events to happen that could be exploited by those who want the ceasefire to fail. outside the prime minister's official residence, supporters of the hostages suspect netanyahu could be one of them. they say he prolonged the agony of hostages and all israelis by delaying a ceasefire for months. we lost too many people fighting. we lost too many hostages from israeli bombs. we lost too many people from killing by hamas. the situation in israel, the society, has become very, very bad. explain to me why the delay happened.

shall i tell you the truth, what i think? i think that somebody in the government didn't want it, the situation, to finish, because of his personal position in his life. and who is that person? bibi. netanyahu, the prime minister? yes. 0n the posters, their lives before and after the october 7. happy moments in the past, and the gaps left by the missing and the dead. for the families, the wait is an agony. for israelis and palestinians, the clock is ticking towards the ceasefire far too slowly. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. israeli prime minister benyamin

netanyahu has repeatedly neta nyahu has repeatedly promised netanyahu has repeatedly promised to destroy hamas. so after 125 months of conflict, what state is the group in. our diplomatic correspondent has this assessment. when hamas launched its brutal attack on israel in october 7, it was a powerful force. it sent about 3,000 fighters it sent about 3,000 fighters across the border and launched across the border and launched about 5,000 rockets. about 5,000 rockets. in all, the armed group in all, the armed group and political movement and political movement was estimated to have was estimated to have about 30,000 fighters, about 30,000 fighters, hidden in hundreds of hidden in hundreds of tunnels across gaza. tunnels across gaza. but after 15 months of war, but after 15 months of war, israel says it is a shadow israel says it is a shadow of its former self. of its former self. hamas has been decimated. hamas has been decimated. their leadership has been eliminated. their leadership has been eliminated. their rocket arsenal their rocket arsenal has been destroyed. their tunnel network has been destroyed. their tunnel network has been compromised. has been compromised. their operational capabilities their operational capabilities have been shattered. have been shattered. they are no longer they are no longer the force they once were. the force they once were. certainly, many senior certainly, many senior figures have been killed. figures have been killed. hamas' political leader, hamas' political leader, ismail haniyeh, was ismail haniyeh, was assassinated in tehran injuly. assassinated in tehran injuly.

its main commander in gaza, yahya sinwar, was killed in october. the numbers are hard to verify but israel claimed in september to have killed 17,000 hamas fighters. for all that, the americans believe the group could still come back. each time israel completes its military operations and pulls back, hamas militants regroup and re—emerge, because there's nothing else to fill the void. indeed, we assess that hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost. those new recruits may have fewer tunnels to hide in, they may get fewer weapons from a weakened iran, and they may be younger and more inexperienced than the trained fighters they are replacing, but they can still fight. they still have small groups in some different areas who could fight israel for a very long time, because they work like

a militia now, not like before the 7th of october, as a semi—army in gaza. so hamas is weakened. its ability to mount a sustained military operation is much reduced. but it hasn't been destroyed, something israel's prime

election. but here in yuma county where we are right now, overwhelmingly, voters chose donald trump in this election the when you speak to people here about how they're feeling about inauguration, usually, the word is —ment or people saying that they hope —— excitement, or people saying for example that they hope that it is better than the last four years. just a few people being a little bit more apprehensive. this is a really interesting area because it is a latino majority, a county here in yuma county. but nevertheless, donald trump did make significant inroads with that voting populationment and when you talk about immigration here, you'll find that people are perhaps a little bit more concerned when they heard about things like a mass deportation from day one, because they say that yes at certain points during the biden presidency, they did feel that the number of people coming over the border, they say, was too high. but they say nevertheless, many people coming over here legally - 30,000 people coming over here legally — 30,000 people coming over from mexico here every day to be part of that skilled labour

force — particularly in agricultural communities like this, they say, is invaluable for the local economy. and those economic concerns that we heard voiced in the election really coming to the forefront when we spoke to voters once again. here's what they told me. �* , ., , me. i'm feeling very hopeful. i'm hepeful— me. i'm feeling very hopeful. i'm hopeful that _ me. i'm feeling very hopeful. i'm hopeful that things - me. i'm feeling very hopeful. i'm hopeful that things will i i'm hopeful that things will pick up, and that the economy will get better. and that the country will come together as one instead of this too divided. i don't like it as divided. i don't like it as divided as it s— divided. i don't like it as divided as it s really, the economy- _ divided as it s really, the economy. it's _ divided as it s really, the economy. it'sjust - divided as it s really, the economy. it'sjust down l divided as it s really, the| economy. it'sjust down in divided as it s really, the - economy. it'sjust down in the dumps — economy. it'sjust down in the dumps right now. you know, and it's going — dumps right now. you know, and it's going to _ dumps right now. you know, and it's going to take a lot to get us out — it's going to take a lot to get us out of— it's going to take a lot to get us out of it. but, you know, like — us out of it. but, you know, like i— us out of it. but, you know, like i said. _ us out of it. but, you know, like i said, if we canjust come _ like i said, if we canjust come together as a people, then we can— come together as a people, then we can do— come together as a people, then we can do anything. so _ we can do anything. so those economic concerns coming through very strongly here. and when it came to immigration, and we spoke to officials here, they were telling us that in 2023, they were processing some 11,000 migrants coming through yuma

per month. now they say after executive actions by president biden, it's 500 per month, and they've also expressed concerns that when they hear things such as mass deportations, theyjust don't know whether they have, they say, enough of the border force officials working here to actually be able to enact those plans. and a quick reminder, we'll have full coverage of donald trump's inauguration here on bbc news with a special programme from washington starting on monday at 12 gmt. that's 7:00am us eastern. a big story here in the us. tiktok says the american service it runs will stop on sunday if the government doesn't intervene. this comes after the us supreme court backed a law banning tiktok, and this could impact a lot of people. there are over 170 million tiktok users in us. now, this legislation was passed in response to fears about chinese control of the 3pp about chinese control of the app through its parent company, bytedance, and bytedance was

given an ultimatum — sell tiktok�*s us business, orface a ban. but in response to this, tiktok appealed under the first amendment right to free speech. but the supreme court has now knocked this back unanimously. so the ban is set to come into force on sunday, and that, of course, is the day before donald trump becomes president. our correspondent has more on the trump administration to do this. what can donald trump do. what it can't do is repeal the laws set by congress. this law is about as bipartisan as you can get in contemporary washington. there are trump loyalists in the republican party who want tiktok to be banned, and then there are members of the democratic party who agree with donald trump in saving tiktok. so it's not straightforward. it doesn't fall on party lines. an option that donald trump also has is to not enforce the law. he could say to his incoming

attorney general — don't penalise the companies like apple and oracle and google who might still have tiktok on their platform. the problem with that is that it is fairly questionable whether or not you can make a law effective redundant that way. and given that donald trump is pretty mercurial, will the ceos of these platforms want to take these platforms want to take the risk and just take donald trump's word for it? the real option that mr trump has is to get tiktok to sell the app to a us company. i mean there, are plenty of us companies that have expressed interest. tiktok has said that it won't do that. but, if trump can make that happen, then that is one option. and if he sees that there is a progress of a deal happening, he also has the ability to extend the deadline of the ban for 90 days. well, sarah baus is a content creator and a tiktok strategist with over 800,000 followers. she's hoping that the ban will not go ahead. i’m

she's hoping that the ban will not go ahead.— not go ahead. i'm absolutely hoinu not go ahead. i'm absolutely heping that _ not go ahead. i'm absolutely hoping that we _ not go ahead. i'm absolutely hoping that we will- not go ahead. i'm absolutely hoping that we will pull- hoping that we will pull anything out. again, i keep thinking of the small businesses, seven million american small businesses and so many of them, including people that are close to me. 98% to 99% of their sales come from tiktok. seven million businesses alone that would be just washed out. so i'm hoping that we can get any positive news. �* ., , ., that we can get any positive news. �* ., i. _, , news. but would you consider movin: news. but would you consider moving to _ news. but would you consider moving to another _ news. but would you consider moving to another app - news. but would you consider moving to another app that i moving to another app that might offer somewhere else that you can base your business? i have on other apps. i think many tiktok creators are on other apps and haven't been able to replicate what we have been able to do on tiktok. but i know for me and my audience, i know for me and my audience, i will find them wherever they are. i hope that they'll come to find me. so i will show are. i hope that t
