saved? plus, in the hot seat. trump's homeland security pick kristi noem, facing some tough questions from senators about mass deportations as we learn new details about the president elect's aggressive plan to overhaul immigration starting day one. and a spectacle in the skies. a space x test flight exploding in midair just minutes after launch. new details on what went wrong. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. hello, i'm brianna keilar. boris is off today. is it time? is the time up for tiktok? despite today's supreme court ruling upholding the ban on the wildly popular app. the outgoing biden administration is signaling it does not plan to enforce the ban, which by law takes effect on sunday unless it's sold to a new owner who is not based in

china. sunday, of course, is also the last full day of the biden presidency. but moments ago, president biden said that the decision on tiktok will be made by the next president. and donald trump has said in the past that he wants to save tiktok, which is used by about 170 million people in the u.s. trump posted on truth social today that he talked to chinese president xi jinping about the app, among other topics, and tiktok is already showing how much they appreciate the president elect's efforts, with its ceo releasing this tiktok video in the last hour. >> i want to thank president trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps tiktok available in the united states. we are grateful and pleased to have the support of a president who truly understands our platform. one who has used tiktok to express his own thoughts and perspectives, connecting with the world and generating more than 60 billion views of his content in the process.

>> cnn's alayna treene is near the president elect's estate in florida. and, you know, it's hard to read the tea leaves on exactly what is going to happen. elena. he did tell our pam brown. you're going to see what i'm going to do. so a little bit of a tease there. but what might he do? >> well, look, we do know, brianna, that as you mentioned, donald trump does want to try to find some sort of solution to save the app in the united states. now, we have reported that donald trump is considering a potential executive order soon after taking office that would extend and really put a pause on this ban and extend the time that he would have, and his incoming administration would have to try to find some sort of resolution, some sort of negotiation that they could reach with tiktok. now, of course, all of this comes down to, you know, tiktok's decision not to divest from its chinese owner, bytedance. this is why the ban is in place. this is what congress approved last year and president biden signed into law. it is unclear whether

donald trump would try to find some sort of company to maybe take over tiktok and and have it be sold from its chinese owner. but that is something we know that the app has said it has no plans to do. but look, one thing that is very interesting we have to note is that this is a stunning reversal from donald trump, because i'd remind you that back in 2020, before he left the white house after his first term, he had said that he wanted to ban tiktok for the same reasons that president joe biden is concerned about it. the national security concerns of having it be owned by a chinese company. of course, now he is saying that he is warm to tiktok, in part because so many young people in this country voted for him because of seeing his campaign's messaging on tiktok. i want you to just take a listen. our great producers put together a little mash up of what donald trump has said over the years on this issue. >> we're looking at tiktok. we may be banning tiktok, we may be doing some other things. it will either be closed up or

they'll sell it. so we'll either close up tiktok in this country for security reasons. we have to have the total security from china or just, no, we're not going to do anything to jeopardize security. i'm going to save tiktok. biden wants to get rid of tiktok. you know why? why? because he has no idea. i'm now a big star on tiktok. we even have tiktok. jack. i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok because i won youth by 34 points. >> so as you can hear there, brianna, not always on the same page with himself, he is making a reversal from what he used to believe. but one thing as well, i want to point out, is that this ban that is supposed to take effect on sunday is one that received bipartisan approval in congress, and many republicans are china hawks have a hard line position on china. they want this ban to go into effect. so that's something to keep in mind as well. kind of complicating some of this. but as you mentioned, we do know that donald trump

spoke with chinese president xi this morning. tiktok came up during that call, donald trump said. ceo to attend donald trump's inauguration on monday. we know that donald trump has been in communication with tiktok ceo shou chew, and that he even came to mar-a-lago to meet with donald trump last month on all of the issues surrounding this. this ban. brianna. >> all right, elena, thank you for that report from west palm beach, florida. our next guest is a tiktok content creator. harry chasen has 1.4 million followers on the app, and he's with us now from new york. harry, i just wonder, are you i'm assuming you're watching all of this play out the court upholding this ban and president biden indicating that he's not going to, or the white house indicating they're not going to enforce it. it's going to be up to trump here. are you banking on trump not

enforcing this and buying time for tiktok? >> i think it's kind of up in the air right now. i think tiktok's future is somewhat uncertain, even though this supreme court decision is very certain. as you mentioned, we're hearing from president biden that he doesn't want to enforce it. donald trump has kind of flip flopped on this issue, saying that now he might want to extend it, but am i banking on donald trump's word? no, i think that would be silly to bank on on trump following through with a promise that he made. >> so, i mean, what do you think is going to happen on sunday? the industry site the information is reporting that tiktok is going to go fully dark, that it will shut down on on sunday. do you have an indication of what happens if you click on the app? >> yeah, i think that that's probably accurate, that it's just going to kind of go dark. i've heard different reports that it will be either that you just can't click on the app at all, or that when you click on the app, a notification will pop up saying that this app has been banned in your country. you won't be able to use it, but we don't really know the next steps. i would project that it's going to go dark on

the 19th, and then possibly donald trump is able to keep it alive on the 20th. but i think a lot of this is still very much up in the air. >> what does this mean for you personally? >> i mean, it means a lot. you know, i've been on tiktok for five years. i started during the covid pandemic because i wanted to be involved in national politics, and there was no real way to do that during the pandemic. and, you know, being on it for five years, connecting with so many amazing people, having the opportunity to interview president biden because of my, my, my content on tiktok, kind of seeing that all go away in an instant is, is, i think, depressing for a lot of people. i've, you know, been speaking to a lot of friends in this industry, kind of people that post on tiktok. and it all feels that, you know, our voice is kind of being taken away just like that. and so it's kind of hard to to grapple with, but we're trying to stay optimistic here. >> what do you think about the government's argument that this is a national security risk? because the parent company is chinese owned, and we've

certainly seen many instances of china trying to infiltrate the u.s. government. and american telecom companies illegally. >> yeah. so i think my position and the position of some of my peers is that we would just like more evidence from the united states government. but if the government provides that evidence and there's concrete proof that this app has been manipulated in a way to, you know, further, china hurt the united states, we would be in favor in favor of, you know, divesting and possible ban. we care about national security just like other americans. we just want to see that evidence first. >> but if you've seen reporting on chinese hackers getting into telecom companies to try to monitor communications or certainly information about communications, getting into the treasury department, and honestly, who knows, because it feels like we learn more and more as days and weeks go by. does that does that

isn't that the case that's being made? >> yeah. i mean, i think that's what you're mentioning here is incredibly concerning. and when someone like president biden or secretary blinken or members of the biden administration kind of raise the alarm here, i'm inclined to believe them and, you know, trust their word that they've seen something compelling behind the scenes. but i also think that the american people have to be brought into the fold. we kind of have to see that evidence as well, as long as it's possible to do so without jeopardizing national security. and i think that's just the position i have. i would like to see it for myself. but, you know, if there's some national concern, if there's national security concerns there, then i have no problem with a divestiture or a ban. >> harry, it is great to speak with you. there are so many people this is going to affect. i mean, tens and tens of millions of people using it. thanks for speaking with us. >> thank you for having me on, i appreciate it. >> today, president-elect trump's pick to lead the department of homeland security. south dakota governor kristi noem, facing questions from senators at her confirmation hearing, noem

vowed to aggressively implement trump's border policies. and despite migrant crossings at the u.s. southern border plummeting last year, she described the situation there as a war zone. here's her exchange with republican senator josh hawley is the southern border secure as we find it today? >> senator, no, the southern border is not secure today. but in just three days, we will have a new president in this country, president donald j. trump. and he will secure our border. my hope is that if given the opportunity to serve as secretary, that the federal government would no longer. and i believe, as president trump has promised, the american people facilitate an illegal alien invasion in the meantime, senate republican leaders are hopeful that they will vote to confirm secretary of state pick marco rubio and possibly other top national security cabinet picks on monday after trump is sworn in as president. >> with us now is cnn's priscilla alvarez. and priscilla, you have some really good new reporting about what

trump is planning to start with from day one on immigration. >> yeah, and all of these executive actions, they fall in three buckets. so the first is interior enforcement. of course, we've heard the president elect talk about this on the campaign trail multiple times with his mass deportation pledge. well, what this looks like is ice sweeps in some of these major metropolitan areas, areas that have experienced an influx of migrants over recent years, for example, chicago and denver, and ones that the incoming border czar, tom homan, has verbally sparred with publicly, especially calling out those sanctuary cities, those cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement authorities. so essentially making a show of that and being quite pointed by directing sweeps in these areas. now, the other part of this is the border. you mentioned it there. the border is relatively quiet right now. the numbers are very low, but all the same, the trump team is planning executive actions to get at clamping down on the u.s. southern border. the national emergency emergency declaration is one of those essentially shoring up resources from the pentagon to assist in

enforcement there, and then also restarting negotiations for that remain in mexico. policy that pushes migrants back into mexico as they await their court hearings. of course, mexico has to buy into that, but it kicks off that process. and lastly is legal immigration. this one is key for visas. so the travel ban that they did the first time around. well, they're going to bring back an iteration of that. and sources i've spoken to said they're still sorting out who exactly is going to be part of that. but certainly that is expected to come back in addition to some of the other pledges they've made, like ending birthright citizenship, et cetera.. now, at the helm of all of that is going to be, if confirmed, kristi noem, who is the south dakota governor who had her confirmation hearing today. she was asked about the immigration agenda, but she was also asked to go a little further about what if the president elect wants to send troops or law enforcement to other states? what does it mean for her at her position, and especially as someone who is a governor? here's what she had to say

about all that. >> if the president asks you to send in federal law enforcement to a state without coordination of that, governor, would you support that action? >> you know, senator, the my job if nominated and sworn in as secretary of homeland security, is to uphold the constitution and to. so you will push back. of this country? yes. that will be the oath and the pledge that i will be making. >> so you can get a sense there of some of the concerns from democrats going into the next few days. another one that came up was federal funding. of course, the department of homeland security also houses fema. so if there are natural disasters, will the president and the dhs secretary hold back federal funding if, for example, they're not in compliance with one part of the president's agenda? so those were some of the questions that came up that gave us an idea of where they're going to get position. the democrats, i mean, and also republicans, when it comes to immigration, she seems to be on track to get confirmed. but certainly

important questions to give a bit of a view into her thinking. >> yeah. really interesting. i to california there in the middle of a wildfire crisis will be still during this transition. priscilla, thank you so much. really appreciate it. we have cnn senior national security analyst juliette kayyem with us now. how do you think noem's hearing went? juliette i mean, it was relatively mild. >> this is a i don't i think she'll get confirmed. she's a governor. she knows how to run something unlike some of the other nominees. she seems. i mean, she doesn't seem very interested in the in the major issues. it's an odd pick in the sense, like, you know, south dakota is not a border state. it doesn't have the kind of threats that national, you know, national security threats, cyber terrorism, climate and climate disasters that other states have. i think she'll get in. but i think her sort of lack of interest in the subject matter at hand and the department she's going to run is, is is actually proof of

where, uh, homeland security is going to be run, which is not out of the department of homeland security, but out of the white house, as our reporting shows, that the immigration agenda has nothing to do with enforcement anymore. the numbers are down. the southern border numbers are down. trump will do two things. he will do these sort of shock and awe actions and then take credit for the fact that the border is, by all accounts, are reporting the numbers, uh, is is relatively quiet right now. and so that's basically what we should anticipate in the first couple of months. is, is these big pronouncements shock. and i go after blue cities and blue states. um, and then the numbers will probably remain relatively low. and he gets credit for it. that's, i think, a sort of safe way to, to, to analyze the next couple of weeks and months. >> to your point about where is this issue going to be run out of perhaps the white house?

this is an interesting exchange between new jersey senator andy kim and noem on how she's going to work with border czar tom homan, who, by the way, does not need senate confirmation and will certainly have close access to the president. here's the moment. >> will he be giving orders directly to cbp, ice, uscis tom homan has a direct line to the president. >> he is an advisor to the president. the border czar. i obviously will be if nominated and confirmed and put into the position of being the department of homeland security secretary and responsible for the authorities that we have and the actions that we take. >> how did you read that? what she was saying there? >> yeah i honestly dream on. >> i mean, i don't mean to be sarcastic here. we know that homan is in charge, and stephen miller, the deputy chief of staff, are in charge. i've worked at agencies before. when a white house wants to own an agenda, it owns an agenda. if

she gets confirmed, secretary noem will be told how and whether to enforce. we now know she won't push back on it. but if you the trump presidency is about immigration and he's and he's made that clear, this is you know, this is just descriptive at this stage. and that is going to be run by homan and miller. and that will include some of the things that we're reporting on. um, so she'll, she'll, she'll be she'll use the department as the white house wants the department to be used. and, and her representations otherwise, um, may have been told to her, but there's no way that stephen miller or homan everyone who's seen what's going on knows will defer to her on this issue simply because she's not a subject matter expert. i mean, they didn't they purposely chose someone who knows nothing about immigration or very little about immigration because they want it run out of

the white house. most of what the department does, besides emergency management and cyber, it's it's muscle is in border enforcement from the coast guard to ice to cbp to tsa. most of its component enforcement agencies are related to the border, and the president chose a non border expert. so we know that's going to come out of the white house. >> all right. really interesting. juliette kayyem thank you. thank you, thank you. here in a matter of days. just two days. some of the israeli hostages who were taken by hamas 15 months ago could be reunited with their loved ones, but not all of them. next, we're going to speak with the brother in law of a hostage who is not likely to be included in this first phase of the ceasefire. hostage deal and rallying for the community. l.a .'s major sports teams and celebrities are joining forces to help those who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires there. we have a

exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners held by israel. the agreement also calls for a cease fire for 42 days in a war that has raged now for more than 15 months. i'm joined now by moshe lavi, his brother in law. omri miran was taken hostage by hamas on october 7th. moshe, tell me how you're feeling. >> hi. good evening. um, it's a hard question to answer because we're trying to. to focus on the mission. the mission is not over. and the mission to bring home all the hostages. and so i try to detach myself from from emotions. um, we keep the advocacy work, we rejoicing for those families who will hopefully see their loved ones return soon. and until we see the first hostage return, we will not believe it's going to happen. but we have to keep working hard to ensure our elected officials in israel,

leaders, worldwide leaders, and of course, the terrorist organization hamas understand that they need to progress for the second phase to ensure all the hostages return home to their loved ones and obviously, the expectation here, because of the emphasis of of women and children and the elderly in this first tranche of hostages to be released, is that you're really banking on phase two for getting omri home. >> so what is your message to your government, to people who are watching as they are going to move 16 days from the first release into that that negotiation for phase two? >> my message is, is is very simple. and i gave that message earlier this week in israel, uh, yesterday in london to, um, relevant uk representatives.

and today here in paris, with relevant representatives from the french government that they need to push all stakeholders to begin negotiating for the second phase. now, we should not wait for the 16th day. we should do everything we can to ensure that the discussions begin now. the hostages have no time for waiting. additional 16th day. every hostage is a humanitarian case at this point. they've all been tortured, abused, experienced violence, deprivation of food, water and sunlight for so many days and so we can't expect them to keep waiting for decision makers to decide whether x, y, z is appropriate for a deal they need to seal a complete deal, a comprehensive deal, which is why families of hostages are working relentlessly this weekend all across europe, all across relevant european capitals and also, um, over the next couple of days in washington, d.c., both with the outgoing administration and the incoming

trump administration. >> can you tell us a little bit of what it has been like for your family? it has just been so long since omri has been taken. how is your family doing, how you're holding on to hope and finding that connection in in your community yeah. >> we have no privilege to give up on hope. uh, hope strengthens us. it gives us the fuel to keep going, to keep advocating with policymakers, keep advocating with the wider public. um, our family is a strong family, has been supporting my sister and my two nieces, roni and alma, survivors of october 7th. um, serving as a shield for liz cheney, who has been advocating for the release of of her husband omri, since october 8th, um, when she decided that she needs to focus on that rather than process

everything she has endured on october 7th. and so we try and support her as much as possible as a family. um, my family is still displaced. um, in a different part of israel, and they were adopted, in a way, by a new community that helps my sister and helps my parents, um, and other members of the family to to find a place of strength and support that help us when we enter those rooms with politician, enter those rallies, stages and give speeches for our loved ones. and also, when i speak with the media, um, it's been difficult, but we are. we're strong and we'll keep being strong. we're going to rejoice with the families who are going to see an end for their suffering over the next couple of weeks. but, um, so many other families are going to keep fighting as well. >> and, moshe, what is your message for omri? what is your message for

your brother in law? >> my message to omri is to stay strong. um, we are coming for you. we're coming to rescue you. um, so many people around the world know your name. know your daughter's name? ron rowe. najma. um. and are praying for you. wishing you to return. um, and and believe me, we are returning every stone all across the world and putting our trust in elected officials like donald trump. uh, president-elect trump to do what they, um, want and want to achieve, which is the release of the hostages. and we do all that work in our country as well, holding our elected officials accountable. >> moshe, i am going to say a prayer for you. you have endured so much. your family continues to endure so much. thank you for talking to us about omri, and we wish you so much luck. >> thank you so much, moshe lavi. >> we appreciate you being with us and we'll

united behind the sports, this is going to be an event where there will be activities for children who have been out of school, whose schools have perhaps burned out in these fires, and they will get a little bit of a reprieve. this, of course, as residents are just starting to to want some kind of normalcy and to see their homes and understand just the magnitude of what happened. look, we're so many days after this fire has started and we're hearing people getting impatient, brianna, with where the the solutions are heading. you know, we heard from people saying, i just want to go and see if my house made it or not. at this point, the authorities are saying that they're not yet it's not yet safe for them to come home and to see what has been left of their of their properties. they're saying there's hazardous materials that is still smoke in the air, that it's not safe for people

to go in. it might be several weeks. and this is what folks here are coming to grasp, that it might be a long time. we spoke with a mother with her two kids here who are both in the altadena school system. they play in the little league. not only was their arts center burned down, their little league field was burned down. they have to work now from a hotel room. she's a therapist and her husband works for the lausd. these are the kinds of families that are here today trying to come together with their community as well, hoping to reconnect with other families and share these experiences in a small moment of reprieve. brianna. >> yeah, that is tough. they're just getting through their days. julia vargas jones thank you for that report. the panama canal is definitely on the radar of president-elect trump, and it has been for a while. ahead, new cnn reporting on what is behind trump's threats to reclaim that critical waterway.

canal has transit actually stopped. it's that invaluable to world trade, to the world economy, to geopolitics in general. it also underscores why any president, president-elect trump being one of them, cares so deeply about its operations. reporter now, trump's interest in the panama canal, it makes a lot of sense. it's 4% of global shipping. that's what comes through here on an annual basis. 40% of u.s. containers come through this waterway. but what people here unequivocally do not understand is why, after 25 years of smooth operations under panama's control, all of a sudden trump is threatening to take it back and refusing to rule out using military force to do so. >> the panama canal is a disgrace. >> he's railed against how the canal is being run and china's growing influence around the waterway. >> they charge more for our ships than they charge for ships of other countries. they

charge more for our navy than they charge for navies of other countries. they laugh at us because they think we're stupid, but we're not stupid anymore. china's at both ends of the panama canal. china is running the panama canal. >> i asked the man who was in charge of the canal for seven years, jorge luis quijano, about those claims. does the canal charge u.s. ships more than others? no. does the canal charge the u.s. navy more than others? no. are there chinese troops operating in the canal? >> no. >> does beijing or the chinese communist party operate the canal? >> definitely no. >> trump's current panama fixation has left officials here perplexed and frustrated, but also cognizant of the former real estate magnate's roots in the country. long before his turn to politics. >> well, my interest in panama really began when we had the miss universe contest in panama, which i own. i own the miss universe, and it was one of the most successful contests we've ever had.

>> not all of his business dealings in panama have been a success. there's a complicating factor for panamanian officials trying to figure out what the president elect actually wants here. and that starts right here, because this building, this building is the tallest building in central america, and it is a building that used to be known as the trump international tower and hotel, also home of the trump ocean club. now it is neither. the gleaming 70 floor resort marked trump's first international hotel venture, a massive project mired by mountains of litigation and confrontation that led to the removal of trump's name from the property halfway through his first term in the white house. as for trump's attack on the terrible deal that set in motion the u.s. handover of the canal and its surrounding zone to panama, that's rooted in an even longer standing preoccupation. >> jimmy carter gave the panama canal away for nothing. zero. in other words, they said, we want the canal. he said, oh, okay. even though we spent the

equivalent of many billions of dollars to build it. >> now trump is calling for panama to reduce the tolls and rates u.s. ships pay to transit the canal, or else. >> that was one of our dredges working on it. >> i put that to ilya espino de marotta, deputy administrator of the canal. you know, one of the things that you hear from people in the united states is just all trump wants is you just cut the rates a little bit for u.s. ships or make some adjustments there just for u.s. ships. is that a plausible option? it's not a possible option. >> why not? because of the treaties. >> the same treaties trump rails against mandate equal treatment of all vessels. no u.s. carveouts. trump has also ignored that the canal today is far bigger than the one handed over by the united states. there was an expansion. yes, the u.s. government played what role in the expanded version? >> okay. as far as financially, none more than half of the revenue that comes in from the panama canal doesn't come in through the one that the united

states was integral in building. >> it comes in through the expansion. >> that's right. this is the atlantic side. >> marotta led the massive $5.2 billion project, which dramatically expanded the size of cargo ships that can traverse the canal. so when president-elect trump says he's taking, he wants to take the canal back. do you guys get to keep the one you did? no, no. but this is what i don't know. >> no, no, no. we get we get to keep everything. >> phil mattingly at the panama canal. cnn. >> and when we come back, a huge explosion of a spacex rocket sending debris streaking across the sky, impacting airports in florida and the caribbean. we'll have more. >> newsnight with abby phillip tonight at 10:00 eastern on cnn. >> kfir and ariel to support your brain health. >> mary. janet. hey, eddie.

this. the burning fragments that fell from the sky after spacex's starship exploded over the atlantic ocean. >> this is. this is not right. something happened. >> this exploded. >> this thing is exploded. >> video shows the breakup of the spacecraft just minutes after launch. now the associated press is reporting a fire may have caused that explosion. cnn's pete muntean has more on what went wrong during the test flight. >> this is significant because it could be the first time that falling space debris has ever had a major impact on air travel like this, though not the first time that falling space junk has been seen by pilots. remember, it is the federal aviation administration that controls the airspace in the united states. these same federal agency that grants the launch license to space x. so there could be an interesting rub developing here. pilots reported seeing the view of starship breaking up about ten minutes into its

test flight, 90 miles above the earth. that's when the link to starship was lost, and there was apparently real concern that some of this could fall on a commercial flight below, because the airspace in the caribbean can be very busy, especially in the wintertime. so the faa put into place a rare sweeping delay for flights leaving miami international airport. also, fort lauderdale-hollywood international airport. and this was the peculiar line. flights were delayed an average of 45 to 60 minutes because of a rocket launch anomaly. a separate alert said this was due to debris. want you to listen now to this recording from liveatc.net of pilots telling air traffic controllers of the colorful display that was unfolding in front of them. >> listen, we just got a major streak going from at least 60 miles with all these different colors. >> and just curious if it looked like it was coming towards us. but obviously because of the distance, just just letting you know, the good

news is this did not last for all that long. >> and here's the statement from the faa. the faa briefly slowed and diverted aircraft around the area where space vehicle debris was falling. normal operations have resumed. the faa says it was able to divert some flights away, but also keep incoming flights out of the area of concern. this is exactly why the faa restricts airspace and will slow flights for a launch. private space flight really makes the skies even more crowded than they already are. so this is the first time that this has happened, but maybe not the last. the faa says it establishes what it calls a debris response area. when something like this happens. >> all right, pete muntean, thank you for that. the ball is now in president-elect trump's court as he's preparing to take office one day after a u.s. ban on tiktok is set to go into effect. his options for saving the app that he also once suggested banning.
