the ceasefire deal, which is due to come into force in less than 12 hours. in washington to protest against donald trump's thousands of people inauguration on monday. are expected to join a march dozens of people have been in washington to protest injured in a ski lift against donald trump's inauguration on monday. accident at the astun dozens of people have been injured in a ski lift accident at the astun ski resort in spain. ski resort in spain. hello, i'm lauren taylor. in the last hour, israel's prime minister benjamin has hello, i'm lauren taylor. said he reserves the right in the last hour, israel's to resume war with prime minister benjamin has ham ' as " if necessary" said he reserves the right in a statement hours to resume war with before the gaza ceasefire ham ' is due to come into effect, as " if necessary" in a statement hours he vowed to bring back before the gaza ceasefire all the hostages held by hamas. is due to come into effect, he vowed to bring back but he said both outgoing all the hostages held by hamas. us presidentjoe biden and his successor donald trump but he said both outgoing have given full backing to israel's right to return us presidentjoe biden to combat, should the second and his successor donald trump stage of the ceasefire have given full backing to israel's right to return to combat, should the second prove pointless. stage of the ceasefire mr netanyahu had earlier prove pointless. suggested that israel mr netanyahu had earlier was still awaiting the names suggested that israel from hamas of israeli hostages to be freed. 00:01:01,487 --> 2147483051:37:15,458 in a statement, he said, 2147483051:37:15,458 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 "we will not move was still awaiting the names from hamas of israeli hostages to be freed.

in a statement, he said, "we will not move forward with the agreement until we receive the list of hostages who will be released, as agreed. israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement. the sole responsibility lies with hamas". but in his televised address, mr netanyahu gave no indication that the first phase of the deal would not come into effect, as scheduled, tomorrow morning at 8.30 local time. translation: we promise you that we will keep - to all the objectives of the war and we will bring them all home. up to today, 157 of those hostages have come home, and now in that agreement we are going to bring 33 of those brothers and sisters, most of them are still alive. and this is a result of the heroism of our soldiers in the war and because of our steadfast stand, and it was very difficult against all the pressures from within and without.

it is also a result of the collaboration and cooperation of the outgoing presidentjoe biden�*s administration, and the incoming president trump's administration. on wednesday night they spoke to me and congratulated me, and stressed that the first phase of that agreement is a temporary ceasefire. and before the next phases we are keeping very significant assets in our hands in order to bring them all home, in order to keep to all the goals and objectives of the war. both president biden and president trump have fully backed those objectives of the war. if they feel that they

do not think that we

one thing stood out for me, which is this clear statement that, in his words, this was this is a temporary ceasefire and that israel reserves the right to go back, to send its forces back into gaza and resume the war in the weeks ahead if the two sides do not agree to continue and progress to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. in other words, he is not committing at this stage to it being a long—term permanent ceasefire. now, i have to say, lauren, that benjamin netanyahu is a man who often says certain things to certain audiences. this is what he is saying to the israeli public. it is no doubt what he has said to his rebellious ministers.

there were two ministers in his cabinet from the far right who fiercely objected to the ceasefire deal, and six others who voted against it in the cabinet meeting. our correspondent also had this reaction from jerusalem. overwhelming message from mr netanyahu in his address was that this was going ahead, but it certainly didn't feel like peace in our time, did it? i mean, part of the reason that he, mr

netanyahu, is not talking about this being a permanent ceasefire is because by by getting to that point of permanent ceasefire, it throws up all sorts of difficult questions, both for him politically and for questions about what happens in gaza at the moment with it as a temporary arrangement. it's easy to, if you like, keep the option of war open and indeed not try and tackle some of the significant issues and problems around discussions about gaza's future. there is, it seems, a very difficult discussion to be had here in israel about who might end up governing gaza in the future. the government here doesn't want hamas, of course, to be involved. it doesn't also want the palestinian authority, which has authority over parts of the west bank, to to be involved either. but it has not put forward any sort of vision for

what the longer term future of gaza might be. it's telling that today we had some indications from sources that there would in fact be some police officers, hamas police officers, being allowed to be involved in the return of displaced people back to their homes, as this peace, this the cease fire agreement is implemented because the problem is, is that you suddenly take out, israel. you've obviously the israelis have bombarded hamas and gone for all of their networks. but on day one, who is in control, who is going to be managing things? and more than likely it's going to be, hamas coming out, or at least hamas officials coming out and trying to resume some of the roles that they've performed before the war took place. so talking about permanence, talking about this being a long term, a longer term thing is very problematic for mr. netanyahu in relation to gaza discussions. it's also problematic for him when we're thinking about his own political strength. here in israel, he relies on,

two far right, basically extremist parties to keep his coalition, in a majority. and those, those parties have made it clear that they are not happy that the war is ending. and indeed, they are arguing explicitly that they would like a commitment from mr netanyahu to go back to war in six weeks�* time when this first phase of the ceasefire agreement expires. so some idea there of the political tightrope that's been walked here and why, in mr netanyahu's address, the emphasis was so much on going back to war, the possibility of fighting again rather than anything really about the possibilities of peace. let's take a moment to take a look at how the situation reflects on hamas. khaled elindgy, adjunct professor at georgetown university described the state of its forces. operational terms, hamas has been greatly weakened. its various, you know,

battalions and brigades have been, destroyed in part or in whole, you know, many hundreds, probably thousands of fighters have been killed. but the reality is that hamas continues to exist as, certainly as a political force, but even as a military force. and, we've now reached a point where even secretary blinken has conceded that hamas has been able to recruit at a rate that has basically been able to recruit, new fighters at, to compensate for the ones that it has lost. and, and so i think this really speaks to the, to the, to this notion that the whole idea of total victory and complete destruction of hamas was never achievable. it's something that most analysts pointed out 15 months ago, and it remains true today. and it is, frankly, a pretext to continue what has become sort of an endless war.

i mean, what do you make of the fact that in this statement, netanyahu talked about the fact that president trump and president elect trump and mr biden have backed israel's right to resume fighting if the second stage doesn't work? tell us about the future. i mean, one of the things that isn't really addressed is what the political future of gaza will be once these first stages of the cease fire are achieved. yeah. i mean, i think that's also not surprising. of course, we don't know exactly what president biden or president elect trump, committed to benjamin netanyahu. but i think it's a safe bet. and the only thing that really matters is, is donald trump, is going to be president in a couple of days anyway. and, i think it's pretty clear that the trump administration will, will give netanyahu very wide latitude.

i don't think they're going to be sticklers for details. if israel violates the agreement, you know, in the same way that the biden administration, even though netanyahu was the obstacle, they still insisted on blaming any hold—up in reaching a cease fire on hamas. i would expect very much the same, treatment from donald trump. and there's no question netanyahu will try to drag this war out once trump is in office. in less than forty—eight hours donald trump will take the oath of office and become president of the united states once more. on sunday — he will be holding a victory rally in washington — ahead of monday's inauguration. but ahead of that — opponents of mr trump have been taking part in what they called the people's march. critics of the incoming

president carried anti—trump banners as they moved through the nation's capital. arizona was one of the so—called swing states that flipped to donald trump in last november's presidential election. my colleague — helena humphrey is there. we are following what is a victory parade, caravan. we're not in that caravan but we want to show you how people here are celebrating i could turn the camera around and you can see these number of vehicles who are nowjoining. they are coming out to drive through the city of yuma for that just to tell you a little bit about yuma county, it's arizona which is a swing state which went for donald trump. here overwhelmingly they voted for donald trump. so groups of people have been congregating today and the car park. this will be there for victory parade in this election cycle. they say they want to come out, they want to proudly show the community that they are excited

about another donald trump presidency. i should say, not everybody here feels like that. some people have been expressing anxiety about what is ahead. particularly in a latino majority community. donald trump as we know has said he will be carrying out mass deportations from day one. some people a little bit worried about people who are here illegally getting caught up here illegally getting caught up in that. what people hear up and telling me is that when they started these caravans, these victory caravans and campaign caravans they didn't always get a positive reception. they say that has changed in the past years and months. i spoke to one of the organizers about it. take a listen to what kind of atmosphere are you hoping for today? atmosphere are you hoping for toda ? , , , ., atmosphere are you hoping for toda ? ,, ., today? this is your last one? we are celebrating _ today? this is your last one? we are celebrating a - today? this is your last one? we are celebrating a victory. today? this is your last one? | we are celebrating a victory of winning — we are celebrating a victory of winning a _ we are celebrating a victory of winning a trump collection. i'm hoping — winning a trump collection. i'm hoping for— winning a trump collection. i'm hoping for a good atmosphere, -et hoping for a good atmosphere, get people to come show up and

we start with a day of drama in the english premier league — in the past hour arsenal have dropped points in the title race after a 2—2 draw at home to aston villa. they were 2—0 up arsenal — with goals from gabriel martinelli and kai havertz — before villa then staged a stunning comeback. youri tielemans got them back in the game before ollie watkins found the equaliser. the drama didn't end there. kai havertz thought he'd scored a winner with a minute left of normal time, only for the goal to be disallowed for handball. that means liverpool are six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand after a 2—0 win at brentford. the league leaders were heading for another draw — until, not one, but two stoppage goals from darwin nunez saw them beat brentford. arne slot — yet again — seeing one of his substitutes save the day — nunez has struggled for goals this season, liverpool had missed chance after chance as brentford defended doggedly, but the breakthrough finally came from the uruguayan forward in the 91st minute, and then the 93rd.

i was very pleased with their performance again, although brentford made it a fight, made it difficult for us. they have some very good players, good game plan. it was an intense game plan. it was an intense game again, in a scheme to watch, and that is what it has been every single game liverpool is on the pitch. newcastle's six—game winning run in the premier newcastle's six game winning run in the premier league came to a crashing end earlier afterjustin kluivert scored a hatrick in a 4—1 win for bournmouth at st james' park the dutchman scored his third in stoppage time as the visitors stretched their unbeaten league run to 10 matches. after losing at west ham midweek, marco silva's fulham were 2—0 winners at ruud van nistelroory�*s leicester city. it was emile smith—rowe and adama traore who got the goals at the king power stadium. elsewhere, two goals from jean—philippe mateta gave crystal palace a 2—0 win at west ham as you'll see, all the away sides winning

so far on saturday. there's been a minute's applause at football matches across scotland in tribute to the former ballon d'or winner denis law, who has died at the age of 8a. manchester united have called him the "ultimate goalscorer" with more people paying their respects at old trafford on saturday. united play brighton on sunday. the man dubbed the king and the lawman spent 11 years with the club. his 237 goals in 404 appearances placing him third in united's history behind wayne rooney and sir bobby charlton. in melbourne, world number one jannik sinner is through to the fourth round of the australian open. the defending men's champion beat the american marcus giron in straight sets. he'll now face holger rune of denmark who beat miomir kecmanovic in five sets. in the women's draw, briton emma raducanu has been knocked out, beaten 6—1, 6—0 by the polish second seed iga swiatek. it turned out to be one of the heaviest defeats of the former us open champions career as she lost in straight

sets, winning only one game in what was a fourth straight defeat to swiatek. shaun murphy is through to the masters final, and in some style too. he knocked in a 147 break as he beat mark allen 6—3. it came just days after he came agonisingly close to a maximum. it's only the sixth perfect clearance in the history of the tournament. and that's all the sport for now. 17 people have been injured, three of them seriously, after a ski—lift accident at a resort in the pyrenees in northern spain. it happened at the astun resort near the french border. eyewitnesses say a cable appeared to fail, throwing people from their chairs. at one point it was thought 80

people were trapped. here's our madrid correspondent guy hedgecoe. high in the mountains. what for many was supposed to be an idyllic weekend in the snow halted abruptly. rescuers rushed to skiers, with the exact cause of the accident on the chairlift on the canal roya ski run yet be confirmed. but eyewitnesses told of the panic as it happened. translation: well, it's like a cable came out. and suddenly the whole chair started bouncing, and people came out. people were flying and pirouetting. people started to fall off too because the chairs were bouncing. we all ran as fast as we could and left our skis. there were boards falling down. for others, relief to escape relatively unscathed. suddenly we were in the chair and it started to fall.

it was very quick. everything happened in seconds. we were lucky because, in my case, the chair was just at the beginning. some skiers were stranded on the chairlift, waiting to be rescued. the emergency services have been treating the injured and airlifting them to nearby hospitals in northern spain. but there have been reports that part of the structure of the ski lift broke, causing a loss of tension in the cable. this resort, a few miles from the french border, is popular with spanish and french skiers. the authorities will be keen to discover what happened here. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, spain. the white house has dismissed a threat by tiktok to shut down its operations in the us on sunday as no more than a stunt. tiktok�*s chinese parent company, bytedance, is facing a deadline to sell the us version of the video—sharing app to a neutral party or be banned.

it has said it will "go dark" across the us unless there's government intervention to prevent any action being taken. but the white house press secretary, karinejean—pierre, said the statement was "a stunt" and there was no reason for tiktok to take actions before the trump administration takes office on monday. she added that actions to implement the law will fall to the incoming president and his staff. donald trump has indicated he wants to find a way to keep it available. our north america technology correspondent, lily jamali, reports. tiktok didn't exist a decade ago. now it's one of the most popular short form video apps on the planet, with 170 million users here in the us. and with that, the tiktok era comes to an end. today, the supreme court upheld a law passed by congress 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're 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 company struck an optimistic tone on friday. hi, everyone, it's shou here. its ceo tried to reassure users. we will do everything in our power to ensure our platform thrives as your online home for limitless creativity and discovery. you know, i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok- because 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, mr trump announced on his own social media platform truth social that he's spoken to china's president, saying... tiktok influencer and small business advocate tiffany cianci hopes that donald trump will save the platform in the us. he knows that he has 170 million americans right now that are expecting him to deliver on his promise to save tiktok for the american people, and so that is where i'm keeping my focus. sarah kreps of cornell university says the law is open ended enough that thatjust might happen. there is ambiguity in it, and i think that will give the incoming president quite a bit of discussion. in the words of donald trump, stay tuned. lilyjamali, bbc

news, san francisco. more now on developments in the middle east, israel's prime minister benjamin has said he reserves the right to resume war with hamas "if necessary". in a statement hours before the gaza ceasefire is due to come into effect, he vowed to bring back all the hostages held by hamas. but he said both outgoing us presidentjoe biden and his successor donald trump have given full backing to israel's right to return to combat, should the second stage of the ceasefire prove pointless. bringing you some pictures from jealous forum where people are waiting on tenterhooks for the start of the ceasefire, starting at 6:30 gmt on sunday. the initial stage would save 33 hostages, including women, children, elderly people exchange for palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. israeli forces would also withdraw to the east away from

the densely populated areas of gaza. let me show you the situation, the skyline in gaza. for one is looking relatively quiet, but within the last few days, the authorities there say at least 100 people, including 30 children have been killed in strikes. stay with us here on bbc news. for much of england, eastern areas of wales saturday was a grey, drab and cold day. temperatures hovered about one through the afternoon across parts of east anglia. but in contrast to that, it was another mild day for northern ireland, with temperatures here reaching double figures, particularly in western counties. most of the country found themselves underneath this area of cloud, but there were some breaks in the cloud, particularly for north and east scotland and north—east england.

so the amount of sunshine that we had varied a lot from place to place. most of us grey and drab, but we did have these brighter weather conditions across the north—east of the uk. now, overnight tonight, we're going to keep that sheet of cloud in place. now, there will be some mist around and if we see a few breaks in the cloud, particularly for northern england, you might find one or two areas of dense fog. for most, temperatures will drift down close to, but probablyjust above, freezing. but in any cloud breaks again, we could just dip below in one or two areas. that takes us into sunday. for most, it's another grey, drab and cold kind of day. a bit of morning drizzle slowly easing away. probably stay quite misty for many through the day across the north and east of the uk. again, that's where the best chance there is of some breaks in the cloud,a bit of sunshine. you may see a few breaks also for parts of wales in the west and also into parts of south west england. otherwise grey, cloudy, cold for most, relatively mild again in northern ireland. into monday, we've got weak weather fronts moving into the uk,

bringing some slightly thicker cloud, a few patches of rain here and there but nothing heavy in the forecast. occasional brighter spells are possible. for most, though, it's another cloudy day and still quite cold for england and wales. milderfor scotland and northern ireland. heading into the middle part of the week, well, i'm going to take a look at the incredible strength of the jet stream, powered by the cold air that's moving in across north america at the moment, the jet stream accelerates to 250 miles an hour, one of the strongest atlantic jet streams i've ever seen. this will power some very quick flights across the atlantic, going between the us and london next week, for sure. it's also going to power this incredibly deep area of low pressure. the winds out to sea to the west of the uk in this system are expected to gust in excess of 100mph. now, the winds won't get that quite that strong here, but nevertheless, there is a tendency for the weather to turn increasingly wet and windy, particularly from friday, and the last week of january could be quite stormy at times.

this is bbc news, the headlines. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country will not rest until all of its war goals are completed, , which includes the return of every single hostage being held in gaza. a 30 year old man has been seriously wounded in a stabbing attack in tel aviv. the attacker — who's reported to have been from the occupied west bank — was shot dead. dozens of people have been injured in a ski lift accident at the astun ski
