tiktok says it will "go dark" in america on sunday unless the government acts to stop a legal ban coming into effect. tributes have been paid to the scotland, manchester united and manchester city football legend, denis law, who has died at the age of 8a. south korea's impeached president, yoon suk yeol, is in court, we'll be live in seoul. good morning and a very warm welcome to bbc news. we are broadcasting live from hostages and square in tel aviv, where they are holding their breath before the ceasefire in gaza is due to come into force tomorrow
10:01 am
morning, sunday morning, 8:30am local time, announced by the qatar ease and the israeli defense forces. it is a ceasefire that is due to end 15 months of war that has killed at least 16,000 people in gaza, according to local officials, and of course was prompted by the 7th of october attacks here in israel that killed 1200 people and took some 250 people hostage it. the announcement of the start of the ceasefire deal was made by the qatari foreign ministry in a statement on social media. they said that the parties had agreed that the ceasefire would begin on sunday morning. and also, they weren't inhabitants to take precaution, exercise the utmost caution and wait for directions from official sources.
10:02 am
after hours of discussion, the israeli cabinet gave final approval to the ceasefire and hostage release deal with hamas. the cabinet meeting lasted more than six hours, with some ministers who had threatened to resign arguing the agreement rewards hamas. the first hostages are due to be released as early as sunday, under the first phase of the it isa it is a three stage ceasefire deal, the first stage coming into place tomorrow, that would see the release of three hostages at more than 700 palestinian prisoners released from israeli jails. the releases tomorrow would include three hostages of the 33 and on the list of 33, the youngest hostage has turned two years old today. the oldest one is 86 years old. the oldest one is 86 years old. meanwhile, sirens have been heard across central israel this morning, with reports of explosions overjerusalem. the israeli military says it intercepted a missile launched from yemen.
10:03 am
here in tel aviv we were forced to take shelter in our hotel bunker as the sirens went off, a reminder of how the war in gaza has further inflamed the middle east. and let mejust to show you the life pictures from inside gaza, because since the ceasefire it was struck on wednesday, health officials there say that almost 120 people have been killed in the continuing attacks that have taken place with the israeli saying they are targeting terror targets, saying they are targeting terrortargets, but saying they are targeting terror targets, but locals in gaza saying that women and children are among the dead. and in this, the scene here on hostages square in tel aviv, which has very much been a focal point for the trauma of israelis since the 7th of october attacks, there are still almost 100 israeli hostages held in captivity in gaza. as i say, the first phase of the deal will see about one third of those released over six week period. our
10:04 am
correspondent injerusalem explain how the israeli cabinet came to the deal. the struggle to get this deal done went late into the night, the israeli government actually broke with protocol and worked into the jewish sabbath to get this deal finally approved. it wasn't without controversy. two ministers, one has said he's going to resign in protest against the deal because he says it lets hamas off the hook. and another has said he will resign in six weeks' time if the war doesn't resume. but the deal is going to go ahead. now there is some confusion about when it's going to start. the qataris, as you say, saying it will start at 8:30 local time, the cease fire tomorrow morning. we've not had that confirmed from either the israelis or the palestinian side, but it will happen on sunday, and we will see the first three israeli hostages freed in exchange for palestinian prisoners.
10:05 am
we understand the israeli hostages, those initial three will first be handed over to the red cross and then brought out of gaza and taken to hospital for medical check—ups. we've had the list of palestinian names of the prisoners who are going to be freed in exchange, and some of them are pretty high profile. there's a chap called zakaria zubaydah. he is a former leader of the al—aqsa martyrs brigade militant group injenin in the west bank. he wasjailed for murder, attempted murder, planting explosives, including one attack that killed six israelis back in 2002. so there is probably going to be some wrangling of how this all proceeds, but we are just waiting now until it goes ahead. under the terms of the ceasefire deal, humanitarian aid would surge into gaza with some 600 trucks day of supplies being allowed to be brought in
10:06 am

10:12 am
correspondent has just found out and is reporting to us, that israel will permit hamas police to operate in their official blue uniforms in designated areas of gaza while maintaining distance from israeli officials. and they will be able to manage the return of the displaced gazans to what remains of their homes under the terms of the ceasefire deal, but they will have to refrain from carrying weapons. so that it appears to be quite a significant concession from israel, which of course sees hamas as a terrorist group, allowing hamas policeman to be able to operate as long as they are identifiable, do not carry weapons and maintain their distance from israeli officials on the ground. has distance from israeli officials on the ground.— on the ground. as you are there, on the ground. as you are there. and _ on the ground. as you are there, and those - on the ground. as you are there, and those up - on the ground. as you are there, and those up to - on the ground. as you are | there, and those up to 100 families wait for news of their loved ones, it is still unclear who is going to be released and when. there are still details to be ironed out and we heard
10:13 am
earlier by the reuters news agency with, saying the mechanism of the release of hostages is also going to depend on the number of palestinian prisoners that israel is going to free. yes, we do have _ israel is going to free. yes, we do have a _ israel is going to free. yes, we do have a list _ israel is going to free. yes, we do have a list of- israel is going to free. yes, we do have a list of 33 - israel is going to free. yes, l we do have a list of 33 names that we think will be on the list tomorrow in terms of the israeli hostages to be released. the youngest is just two years old, turning to today, and the oldest is 86. and we understand 735 palestinian prisoners will be released from israeli jails and as our correspondent was saying earlier, some of them are convicted of some of the most serious crimes, including violent attacks against israelis. but clearly, this is a mechanism that will have to be ironed out at the last minute, probably. there is form on this that there was, if you remember, back in november 2023, an initial release of 105 hostages in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. there has been a
10:14 am
kind of mutual release before in this war. and i expect that they will probably follow the same kind of protocol involving the red cross and how they managed to get the hostages out of gaza. i have to say, that is really at media is reporting that possibly, not all of those 33 who are to be released in this first phase are alive, possibly only 25 of the 33 hostages to be released in the first six week phase are alive. so there are still plenty of details to be ironed out through that first phase and into the second phase, if we get there, of the ceasefire deal. and at the moment, both sides are holding their breath with some hope that tomorrow will see the beginning of the end of gaza's war.— will see the beginning of the end of gaza's war. authorities in kyiv say a night time russian strike has killed four people.
10:15 am
the first blast came before the air raid siren sounded, and more explosions then shook the ukrainian capital. a warning has now been issued for possible ballistic missile strikes. kyiv�*s mayor, vitaly klichko, reported a fire in an unspecified nonresidential building, and there are also reports of sudden water cuts in parts of the city. our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in kyiv for us. she was at the scene where the air strike struck. we were woken by those very loud explosions early this morning. and as you say, it wasn't until after those explosions that the air raid sirens sounded. and we've just come down to the scene now to see what exactly happened. and we've seen the evidence for ourselves. there's a huge craterjust in the main road behind me. that's the middle of the road, just in front of a big business centre. the business centre itself very, very badly damaged. it had been damaged in previous missile attacks
10:16 am
on this area of kyiv. but it is pretty devastated this morning. and the crater is large in the road. there were some reports that perhaps this was debris from missiles that had fallen and caused this damage. but i spoke to a forensics expert here at the scene who was picking up mangled bits of grey metal from the crater and from around it, and he said, no, this was a direct impact by an iskander ballistic missile. and i asked him, you know, why did the sirens only go off after the missile had hit? and he said, it moves so fast, ballistic missiles move so quickly, it is extremely difficult to intercept them and you can see what they do. i mean, it's not just the crater. that grey minivan just behind me here completely burned out. there were many vehicles on fire, and the expert we were speaking to said that he believes that it was in that vehicle that two of the four people who were killed lost their lives. i mean, this is an area full of shops and businesses.
10:17 am
there are people here who are trying to recover things from the wreckage of dental clinics and homes as well. we spoke to one man in a residential building just over that way, and he said he was woken. he leapt out of bed, he said with the sound of the explosions. he said it was very scary. and obviously, as you can see, you know, the damage here is pretty extensive. sarah, just two days before donald trump resumes his presidency of the united states, what are the. expectations there around what impact his role his presidency could have on this war? i think everyone is really aware of that big change possibly coming. you know, people have been talking about this for months now. the fact that donald trump is heading back to the white house and that he is doing that after campaigning, talking about cutting aid for ukraine, talking about ending this war in 2a hours, he once said, of course. and, you know, so people are worried that the arrival of donald trump might
10:18 am
mean big changes in terms of how much a key ally of ukraine is prepared to help it in the future. and what we've heard in recent days from president zelensky and from other officials here, is that ukraine is dependent on that support. it needs that support to continue because the war, russia's invasion of ukraine hasn't stopped. and, you know, it's notjust these missile attacks. of course, the fighting on the front line right through eastern ukraine is still going on every single day. so there are worries about whether things might change after donald trump's inauguration. and i suppose this is the message that ukraine is sending. just look at what those russian missile attacks are doing here to this country on a very regular basis. tiktok has said it will to "go dark" in the united states on sunday unless the biden administration gives assurances that a ban will not be enforced. the statement came after the supreme court upheld legislation that bans the video—sharing app. donald trump has indicated he wants to find a way
10:19 am
to keep it available. our north america technology correspondent, lily jamali, reports. tiktok didn't exist a decade ago. now it is one of the most popular shortform video apps on the planet, with 170 million users here in the us. and with that, the tiktok era comes to an end. friday, the supreme court upheld a law passed by congress banning tiktok in the us over national security concerns. that's unless its china—based parent company sells the platform, and the deadline is sunday. if you are trusting tiktok to preserve your privacy, or the security of our country, you are delusional. congress cited the possibility that china could access american user data and use it for intelligence purposes, or manipulate the content that americans see on the platform. tiktok has denied both of those allegations. despite the legal setback, the
10:20 am
company struck an optimistic tone on friday. hi, everyone. it's sho here. today, its ceo tried to reassure users. rest assured, we will do everything in our power to ensure our platform thrives as your online home for limitless creativity and discovery. i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok because i won it- for use by 34 points. ——i won youth by 34 points. and tiktok has an ally in president—elect donald trump, who takes office on monday, one day after the "ban or sell" law is due to come into effect. he could order the usjustice department to ignore it. on friday he announced on his social media platform... media platform truth social that he has spoken to china's president, saying, "the call was a very good one for both china and the usa. we discussed tiktok and many other subjects. president xi and i will do
10:21 am
everything possible to make the world more peaceful and safe." tiktok influencer and small business advocate tiffany cianci hopes that donald trump will save the platform in the us. he knows he has 170 million americans right now that are expecting him to deliver on his promise to save tiktok for the american people so that is where i'm keeping my focus. sarah of cornell university says the law is open ended enough that that just might happen. there is ambiguity in it and i think that will give the incoming president quite a bit of discretion. in the words of donald trump, stay tuned. lilyjamali, bbc news, san francisco. donald trump's inauguration on monday will be moved indoors because of the dangerously cold temperatures we are expecting here in washington. the forecasters say it wll be one the coldest inauguration days since 1985 when ronald regan took the oath for the second time. temperatures could fall as low as minus six degrees centigrade — with the wind chill making it feel even colder. the swearing in ceremony will now take place in the us capitol rotunda. on truth social the president elect said.
10:22 am
he said. ahead of his inauguration, our correspondent, helena humphrey, has been looking at donald trump's stance on border regulations — and what it could mean for people in the south of the country. donald trump's path to the presidency was secured with promises of cracking down on immigration. we're here in arizona, a swing state which voted for donald trump. here you can see that now very well known expanse of border wall which was built under the first trump presidency. president biden had filled in some of the gaps, but if you just take a look in this direction what you can see is that in places like this one, it simply stops. and beyond this, this is mexico. under the biden presidency, we did, at times, see some of the highest level of illegal migrant crossings in places like this one here in yuma county. donald trump has promised to carry out what he calls "mass deportations" from day one. we don't know what they will look like. but speaking to people here in this agricultural area,
10:23 am
they point out that up to 30,000 people cross over from mexico every day as skilled labour for their farms and they're worried that they could get caught up in stricter border regulations and, ultimately, it could end up impacting the economy here. and a reminder, we will have full live coverage of donald trump's inauguration here on bbc news, with a special programme from washington, starting at 12 gmt on monday. let's get some of the day's other news now. ajudge in bolivia has issued a new arrest warrant against the former president, evo morales, who's under investigation for statutory rape. mr morales was found in contempt of court for failing for the second time to appear at a hearing. evo morales says the charge is politically motivated. thousands of anti—government protesters led by students have rallied in the serbian capital, belgrade. their focus was on the state broadcaster accusing it of failing to report objectively.
10:24 am
serbia has seen a wave of anti—government protests since the collapse of a railway station roof in november that killed 15 people. us regulators have grounded spacex's starship rockets after one exploded minutes into its latest test flight on thursday. the blast forced dozens of aircraft to divert — to avoid falling debris over the caribbean. starship is the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built. just before we go, let's leave you with these pictures. this is kilauea volcano, which has started erupting for the fourth time, sending lava fountains 200 feet into the air. rocks and debris can be seen falling. geologists are collecting them in a closed area of hawaii volcanoes national park. the lava doesn't pose a hazard to homes or infrastructure.the eruption that began december the 23rd in a crater at
10:25 am
the summit of kilauea volcano has paused periodically. that is it from me for the moment, you can stay in touch with all the latest developments, including what is happening in israel and gaza as that deadline moves closer for the ceasefire hostage deal, which comes into effect at 8:30am local time tomorrow. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it's been a bit of a misty, murky start to your saturday for many areas, particularly towards central and eastern england, but generally through the weekend, a quiet picture. dry for most of us. feeling colder than it did through the week and still some mist and some fog patches. more particularly, i think, by tomorrow morning. we've got high pressure that's dominating our weather, that's sitting across continental europe here. weather front trying to move in from the west. and ahead of that, we're just drawing in this milderflow of air that's pushing in across northern ireland, parts of north west scotland too.
10:26 am
many of us are still sitting with that colder air mass, particularly across parts of england and wales, where you're going to keep quite a lot of low cloud through the day. some mist and murk, a few holes in that cloud, some brighter spells developing, especially so for northern england, parts of north wales, southwest england and also northern ireland and scotland will brighten up too, especially anywhere to the north of the central belt. that's where it will have the lion's share of the sunshine. ten or 11 in the north west, four or five in the southeast. overnight tonight, then, we've got more extensive low cloud and fog developing across central and southern parts of england and wales too, scotland and northern ireland keeping the clearer spells. but mostly frost—free in the northwest. a cold, frosty start for some of us across england and wales, though. into sunday, and this weather front just pushes a little bit further in. later in the day, that could bring some patchy light rain to northern ireland. but to start things off, we've got some mist, we've got some fog around, that should slowly lift into low cloud across many central and eastern areas. further north and west, generally more sunshine again, but for northern ireland it will cloud over with a few spots of light rain later on. still looking at ten degrees for the likes of belfast,
10:27 am
but only three or four under those cloudier skies for central and eastern areas. into monday, and as that weather front sinks south, it will tend to dissipate. but it could bring some light rain to parts of north wales, northern england too. sunny spells either side of that band and temperatures perhaps up a degree or so, particularly where you've had the chilly few days for central and eastern areas. six or seven degrees possible, nine or ten further north. it's relatively quiet as we head through the first part of next week, because we'll be between weather systems for a time, but lurking to the south and the west areas of low pressure, and towards the end of the week, they are likely to move in, bringing us some more unsettled weather. so the next few days, still fairly chilly, some clouds and mist and some fog around. more unsettled towards the end of the week, but temperatures should just about be on the rise too. bye— bye.
