deal return home. and in gaza, more than 500 aid trucks have now entered the territory with some beginning to make their way home. tiktok is back up and running in the united states after a short—lived ban. the app's chinese owners thanked mr trump. hello, i'm sally bundock. let's take you to washington dc, where, in the coming hours, donald trump will be sworn into office as the 47th president of the united states, withjd vance taking the oath of office as his vice president. mr trump has already reaffirmed his commitment to carry out the largest deportation programme in american history.

and that he's going to enact a series of executive orders within hours of taking office. ahead of his inauguration, during a wide ranging speech at a rally in washington, he told supporters the united states was about to begin a new era of prosperity, whilst restoring patriotism and law and order. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. donald trump is back where he wants to be. reclaim in power. after years of american decline, and we begin a brand—new day of american

prosperity, dignity and pride. his bombastic style remains a crowd pleaser. i think someone like trump comes around once in a lifetime. i mean, when you look at the man who, everything was thrown at him, not only about the impeachment, wanting to, and all the lawfare, and still standing. so that says a lot about a man. i think with the 2016 election, when he got elected through 2020, he did a good job, was faced with a very hard challenge with covid. how does anyone deal with that, having never experienced it before? but i think he did the best that he could. time to get some real leadership back in this country. stop bending over backwards for everybody else and bend over backwards for americans. thousands of donald trump supporters are here to celebrate his return to power. this is a happy crowd. unlike four years ago. a mob loyal to trump broke into the us capitol in support of his false claims the 2020 election was stolen. he's promised to pardon those convicted.

other big promises include carrying out mass deportations and ending global wars. the weather has forced donald trump's inauguration inside the capitol, the first time in 25 years. he won't get the crowds he loves to see, so he plans to hold another rally. and we are going to make america great again. this year marks ten years since donald trump first announced his run for the white house, and his return underlines what once seemed impossible. trump has dominated american politics and will continue to for the next four years. now we have more detail.

this was donald trump reclaiming his territory essentially. essentially. there's been, you know, there's been, you know, a lot of events today. a lot of events today. there'll be more there'll be more events tomorrow. he will be holding another events tomorrow. he will be holding another rally after his inauguration rally after his inauguration at the same arena. at the same arena. because, remember, because, remember, the inauguration is being held indoors now, and donald trump the inauguration is being held indoors now, and donald trump loves a crowd, and he loves a crowd, and he wants to be able to wants to be able to entertain his supporters. entertain his supporters. so there will be another event so there will be another event tomorrow, and we understand tomorrow, and we understand that he'll actually be signing, that he'll actually be signing, potentially, a lot of executive potentially, a lot of executive orders in front of his orders in front of his supporters tomorrow. supporters tomorrow. but, you know, donald trump but, you know, donald trump from all over different parts was back where he wants to be — was back where he wants to be — in power, on the cusp in power, on the cusp of being in power. of being in power. and, you know, we heard and, you know, we heard the same things that we always the same things that we always hearfrom him during hearfrom him during the campaign trail — the campaign trail — that he plans to make america that he plans to make america great again, restore america. great again, restore america. he's making all these promises. he's making all these promises. and i spent some time outside and i spent some time outside the arena, and his supporters the arena, and his supporters are incredibly excited — are incredibly excited — they believe that he can deliver. they believe that he can deliver. and so many of them have come and so many of them have come

from all over different parts of america, some people have come from abroad to witness this. and his inauguration, which is due to take place on monday — he'll be sworn in at midday, my time here, in dc — will be a historic moment, it will mark the moment that donald trump returns to office. and it's different, isn't it? because it's going to be inside, i understand — minus six is the temperature expected at midday where you are, nomia. it's really, really cold. i mean, it was snowing today and it's predicted to snow overnight, and the temperatures are dangerously low — which is why that decision was taken. not an easy decision to move it indoors — the last time that happened was 25 years ago, for ronald reagan's second inauguration. so that means, you know, people won't get to see that big spectacle outdoors — he'll be sworn inside the capitol rotunda. but this is why all these

various events are happening

we have global leaders watching tech —— tentatively. we will have full coverage on bbc news. a special programme from washington starting at 12 gmt. and in 20 minutes, iwill talk to experts and economists about what his term in office means for the world's biggest economy and the global economy. all of that to come. let's focus on events in the middle east, and in the past few hours, 90 palestinians have been released from ofer prison in the occupied west bank under the gaza ceasefire deal with hamas. two buses with tinted windows left the facility, which were later surrounded byjubilant crowds. most of those freed were women. in tel aviv, crowds celebrated as three israeli hostages were released by hamas — handed over in dramatic scenes. among them 28—year—old emily damari — a british—israeli — who was reunited with her mother,

and 24—year—old romi gonen and 31—year—old doron steinbrecher who were met by their mothers. jonah fisher reports from jerusalem. free at last. after 15 months being held in gaza, the first hostages released in this ceasefire deal were reunited with family and friends. footage released by the israeli authorities, showing the moment romi, doron and the british israeli emily arrived at a hospital near tel aviv. i'm happy to report that they are in stable condition. that allows us and them to focus on what is the most important thing for now — is reuniting with theirfamilies. they're likely to spend several days in hospital to allow more assessment of their physical and mental condition.

earlier in the day, the women's journey to freedom had started in chaotic fashion. hamas fighters were out in force to hand them over to the red cross. israel fought this war with the aim of eliminating hamas from gaza. they've been greatly weakened and their leaders killed. but the pr message was clear — we're still here. the hostages were driven by the red cross to the israeli military, and they were soon reunited with their mothers. in return for the three women being set free, israel agreed to release 90 palestinian prisoners. outside ofer prison, crowds waited late into the night as checks were carried out inside. then, in the early hours, came confirmation that the release had taken place.

in gaza itself, the guns did, after a small delay on sunday morning, fall silent. for the nearly two million displaced, the focus is now on returning to find out what's left of home. translation: the halting of the bloodshed is - an indescribable feeling. i thank god that i survived this war safely. however, when we returned however, when we returned to our homes, we found nothing to our homes, we found nothing but ruin and destruction. but ruin and destruction. i cannot describe i cannot describe the scene in words. the scene in words. i don't know what to say. i don't know what to say. it's likely to be an experience it's likely to be an experience repeated again and again. repeated again and again. 15 months of war and israeli 15 months of war and israeli strikes has reduced strikes has reduced much of gaza to rubble. much of gaza to rubble. correspondent yolande knell. the fighting has now stopped the fighting has now stopped and more aid should flow in. and more aid should flow in. after so much misery, there is after so much misery, there is at least some grounds to hope. at least some grounds to hope. jonah fisher, bbc jonah fisher, bbc news, injerusalem. news, injerusalem. let's speak to our middle east let's speak to our middle east

correspondent yolande knell. good morning. it has been a

they should be able to around. they should be able to move more freely after a week as israeli forces withdraw from key areas in the gaza strip. we are seeing a promised surge in humanitarian aid going into gaza which is supposed to go up to something like 600 lorry loads of aid a day and already the un's humanitarian agency saying yesterday 630 lorries of aid were able to enter into gaza, about half going into the north of the gaza strip where they are of course desperately needed. but still questions about this deal, which has been brokered by the us, along with regional mediators. it has raised hopes of an end to what has been a devastating war in gaza. and also hopes of the

return of those hostages. but really, what happens, there is still so much uncertainty about whether the fighting will resume after this initial six weeks. also, what is the future of gaza, particularly when it comes to its governance. we saw hamas was very present in gaza during the release of hostages. thank you. benjamin radd, political scientist at the ucla centre for middle east development — i spoke to him and asked him how hopeful he was for the ceasefire to last. it isa it is a fragile situation. some signs it is moving forward. we have seen release of hostages and some prisoners exchanged. but there are reports that benjamin netanyahu is waiting

for the next round of hostages to be released before he proceeds. we have comments by the nominee for the us ambassador to israel, who when asked in the united states,. you have situations and comments like that that underscore how the agreement does not provide a pathway beyond the release of hostages in what will happen to hamas and their position in gaza and netanyahu's statement that the hamas leadership will not be tolerated going forward. this ceasefire, they have to start discussing, because 16 days into phase one, they start to discuss and negotiate phase two. and yet those families who still have loved ones who are held hostage in gaza must be desperate to know

that this will carry on, it will continue. when we saw those three women return yesterday, you could just feel the emotion with regards to all of that. indeed, and it underscores, really, you know, the human face of all of this — that, despite the the ongoing conflict between these two parties that's been going for decades now, that you do have these families, you do have these young people — especially these women in particular — and also the young men and those who are infirm, those who are injured, as well. i mean, we know there are some very young children there. and so, absolutely, this is a motivating factor and one that i think will keep the pressure on both sides to try to keep this ongoing. but, again, there's a lot that could happen to derail this — we just hope that it doesn't end up being the case. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news.

more on our top story, and donald trump has reaffirmed his commitment to carry out the largest deportation programme in american history. our correspondent will grant has travelled to the mexican—us border city of tijuana to meet some of those in a migrant camp. these days, the road to the white house begins at the us southern border. like no other issue, immigration raises tempers and brings out votes. for donald trump, it proved a winning strategy, and he arrives to the white house with both a promise and a threat — to carry out what he calls the largest deportation in american history. the border security measures i will outline in my inaugural address tomorrow will be the most aggressive, sweeping effort to restore our borders. for migrants stuck in the mexican border city of tijuana, that's intended as a warning. some have travelled

thousands of dangerous miles to reach this point. others, like oralia, are fleeing cartel violence in mexico itself. with her children, she's waited seven months in this shelter to lodge an asylum request. but trump's return, she says, has left her defeated. "now we've lost hope of being able to cross, i'll have to find somewhere to live in mexico, and trust in god to keep us safe," she adds. people running migrant shelters are worried that things are about to turn very ugly. translation: we're | being hit on two fronts. firstly, the arrival of mexicans and many other migrants who are fleeing violence. but also we'll have the mass deportations. we don't know how many people will come across the border needing our help, but together that could create a huge problem.

in the shadow of the border fence, a handful of migrants and activists gathered to voice their opposition to trump's policies. but in truth, they'll struggle to be heard over the clamour of those in the us calling for a crackdown. it's important to distinguish between rhetoric and reality when it comes to donald trump and immigration. for all the talk of building a border wall, only 80 miles of new fencing were erected during his last time in office. now, of course, he's threatened to deport millions of undocumented people from the united states, and people here — for now — are taking him on his word. of all those most immediately impacted by mr trump's return to the white house, undocumented immigrants — inside the us and waiting at the border — are perhaps at the top of the list. as he delivers his inaugural speech, they're bracing themselves for the executive orders which will follow — and which could radically change the way the country's immigration system is run. will grant, bbc news,

on the us—mexico border. let's get some of the day's other news. officials in colombia say at least 80 people have been killed in clashes between rival rebel groups near the venezuelan border. violence has intensified in the area because of a dispute about drug trafficking routes. more than 5,000 people have already fled their homes fearing for their lives. greenland's prime minister has used a televised debate to outline his vision for independence from denmark. mute egede said the island's economy would be bolstered by increasing demands for tourism and raw materials. donald trump has expressed interest in taking control of the autonomous territory. the charity oxfam says the collective wealth of the world's billionaires rose three times faster last year than in 2023. a new oxfam report by the organisation, released ahead of the annual world economic forum in davos, warns of the growing political

power of the super—rich. it argues that most billionaires' wealth is earned through inheritance, monopolies or crony connections. tiktok is back up and running in the united states after a short—lived ban. the app's chinese owners thanked mr trump, saying he'd clarified that there would be no penalties for companies hosting the platform. codeyjames is a content creator who has built a following showcasing the top thrifting spots in new york city. i spoke to him a little earlier. i think, over the last few years, we've heard a lot about this impending tiktok ban, so it almost didn't seem real. and then over the last maybe 2a hours, it kind of came into fruition and everyone's only talking about the tiktok ban — even on other apps, all you hear about is tiktok. on instagram, on youtube, on everything — that's the only thing, really, anyone maybe 30 and under is really discussing right now, and so it's definitely been a high stress point, but i'm glad that it's hopefully seemingly over for right now. and for you — is this your living? is this all you do? your tiktok work with regards

to what's going on in thrifty stores in new york city? yeah, it's a bit of a side gig, but it's still important to me financially, and so many of my friends really rely on the app itself to support them for their entire — it's their entire career, it's really how they make their money. and so without tiktok existing, a lot of them are out of their own work. so it's definitely been a frustrating time. so it's a side hustle — that's what you're saying. and the issue has still not gone away. i mean, as we saw on friday, the us supreme court upheld the ban. president—elect trump is saying he's going to sign an executive order today — monday — to try and extend the amount of time to negotiate. there could still be issues going forward. are you concerned? you know, i think it's something that's always in the back of our minds now, no matter what, just because of this issue that's been ongoing. but a lot of us have been diversifying into other apps like the instagram reels, like the youtubes and all of that, so hopefully that's going

to help us in the future but it's interesting. i mean, even when the app itself was down, it actually thanked president donald trump on the app itself, so it's been kind of confusing time for for everyone really looking at what to do next. and just explain, for those who don't know — how you're making money on tiktok. how does it work? are you just posting lots of videos of where you are and what you're up to, and then it's all about advertising revenue. how does it work? yeah, there's a few ways of income. so the first way is to actually get paid by the tiktok app itself. it's 10,000 followers in order to get the monetisation. so, really, how many views that you get is how you're going to get paid off of that. but then there's also brand deals — so brands will contact you and then make a deal to create, like, an ad for them. so that's really where the real money comes in again. and the more followers that you do have, the more revenue that you're going to obtain from both of those two streams of income. and how long did it take you to establish yourself on tiktok? you know, i've been on the app for about two years, which is pretty...a short period. a lot of people who are big and large on the tiktok app,

if they got on around 2020 during the pandemic, i think is when the tiktok app really boomed because people were kind of in their houses with nothing to do. and so that's where tiktok — tiktokers themselves kind of gained their following. so i'm a little late to the game. cody james who is late to the game. at least he is playing the game, i am not even in the game. later in business today we will go to their global headquarters in singapore to see the latest on what deal might be done with trump when he takes office. he is talking about signing an executive order straightaway. we can go to washington, dc. it is 1.25 in the morning. it will be quite the day for the inauguration ceremony with a lot of ritual and ritual and p°mp lot of ritual and ritual and pomp and ceremony. and then, of course, he will get down to business. president trump in

the oval office. he promises he will sign executive orders on day one. we will talk about that in more detail. what does it mean for the world's biggest economy and impact on the global economy? all that to come here on bbc news. do stay with us. most eyes may be on the us for the presidential inauguration on monday but a macro whether folk, the atmosphere has attention. clashing with warm atlantic and gulf air to clashing with warm atlantic and gulfairto fire clashing with warm atlantic and gulf air to fire up an exceptionally strong jet stream. really quick transatlantic flights expected this week, but what a strong jetstream also means is that we're breaking down the weather

patterns and we're going to be firing deep and stormy areas of low pressure towards the environs around the uk. so there is that potential we could start to enter a stormier period later this week. more rain around, some snow in the hills and the potential for some impactful winds, too. so that's really from thursday onwards. to begin with, over the next few days, we've got barely a breeze. not a huge amount changing. weatherfronts, though, early on monday across scotland, northern ireland bringing patchy rain and that quickly spreads in across northern england, north wales, and later to the north midlands and lincolnshire. spots of rain and drizzle here, maybe a bit damp towards the southwest, too. scotland and northern ireland brighten up. if you get any brightness, though, across the south, you'll be lucky, after a cold, frosty and, in places, foggy start. still plenty of cloud around and one or two spots struggling to get above freezing, although western scotland, northern ireland, up to around ten degrees. a few showers here as you go through monday night. still a weather front stranded through parts of northern england, north and west wales, with some damp and drizzly weather at times. to the south of it, a few cloud breaks could give some frost, but also some patches of fog, and a frost still possible to the northeast of scotland. now, for tuesday, sunny spells for scotland, northern ireland, a few showers, although southern

scotland linked into this weather system that's still across northern england, north and west wales with occasional rain. south and east of that, we'll see some sunny spells just about break through. there could be some lingering fog patches, but overall, still a fairly cool day. weather patterns do look fairly static, though, tuesday into wednesday, but notice this deep area of low pressure across iberia. some pretty unpleasant conditions in portugal over the next few days — and a finger of that could just extend towards the southeast in the channel islands into wednesday, bringing some longer spells of rain. other than that, still a weather front across northern england, another damp day here, and more cloud with a greater risk of fog across scotland and northern ireland. but it's after that things start to turn increasingly stormy. wet and windy for many on thursday but the worst of the winds, certainly,

on friday.

tiktok�*s us blackout is over after president—elect trump vowed to postpone the ban. we'll have the latest live from tiktok�*s global headquarters. the trump bump — just hours before he takes office, donald trump whips up the crowds in washington dc promising record breaking executive orders on day one. also in the programme — donald and melania trump are coining it! they've launched rival "memecoins" that soared in value as enthusiasm for all things crypto rockets.

and feel like you're in a rut? well, you are not alone. today is blue monday — the most depressing day of the year. but don't despair — we'll get top tips on how to cope. live from london, this is business today, i'm sally bundock. let's start in the us, where tiktok is back online after a brief shutdown left millions of users unable to access the chinese—owned app. in a message to users, the social media platform praised president—elect donald trump after he pledged to restore access for american users on his first day in office and vowed companies that distribute and host the platform would not be held liable for violating a us ban that came into effect on sunday. trump says he is now a fan of the short—video platform despite calling for it to be shut down during his first term in office. it's quite complicated,

isn't it? so tiktok is owned by a chinese company called bytedance,
