on cnn. >> hello and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. israel prepares for the return of some hostages held in gaza while the enclave awaits a break in the fighting. we'll explain what comes next. according to the cease fire deal with hamas. weather warnings forced a change in plans for donald trump's inauguration. how the last minute location change is affecting preparations for monday. plus, the tick tock countdown. what some 170 million users in the united states can expect this weekend, barring some serious high level intervention. >> live from atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber we're getting more clarity when the truce between israel and hamas in gaza will begin.

>> israel says the truce with hamas in gaza will begin at 8:30 a.m. local time on sunday. that's 630 gmt and 1:30 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. now, at some point on sunday, hamas is to release three female hostages, followed by 30 more hostages over the next few weeks. in exchange, israel will release 95 palestinians on sunday, including ten minors who have been held in israeli prisons. in total, israel will release more than 700 palestinians as part of the first phase of the deal and as part of the agreement, israeli troops will withdraw from populated areas of gaza to a buffer zone. meanwhile, gaza's civil defense says that since the news of the cease fire agreement on wednesday, israeli strikes have killed 122 people. cnn's paula hancocks is live in abu dhabi. and paula, underscoring just how fragile this is. we've heard that missiles have been launched

from yemen at tel aviv. what more are we learning? >> well, kim, yes, it does remind you that this is about more than just hamas and israel. securing this cease fire. this happened just about two hours ago, and there were sirens across jerusalem and tel aviv areas in between. the israeli defense forces saying that they intercepted a missile from yemen's houthi rebels, saying that they didn't have any reports at this point of damage from debris from the the interception. it does remind you, though, that there are more players involved in this. now. we have heard from the houthis. they have said in the past that as soon as there is a ceasefire in gaza, then they will stop firing. they have been firing not just against israel, but also against shipping in the red sea. so as of tomorrow, sunday, we will be able to see if that is in fact the case. but if everything

does go to plan, then this time tomorrow there will be no bombs falling in gaza. the cease fire will be in place and the first phase of those hopefully three phases will have begun. now, within that first phase, there will be 33 israeli and foreign hostages being released. and in return for that, some 735 palestinian prisoners, including 25 minors under the age of 18, will be released from israeli prisons. there will be a ceasefire, which means that hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks a day will be able to move into the gaza strip. and for the military itself, even though it will stay along that border between egypt and gaza, which was a key sticking point during these negotiations, they will be pulling back to buffer zones. it is a moment that people in gaza, people in israel, have been desperately

hoping for for months now, although it is worth pointing out that in israel there is some resistance to the deal itself. kim. >> all right. appreciate that. paula hancocks in abu dhabi, thank you so much. now, the ceasefire agreement is remarkably similar to one israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, shot down nearly a year ago. it included a multi-stage cease fire, a phased withdrawal of israeli troops and the release of hundreds of palestinian prisoners. now, at that time, netanyahu said israel had not, quote, committed to any of the delusional demands of hamas, his extremist allies in the israeli government supported him then, but now many of them seem unhappy about this deal that was just approved. and those allies are key to netanyahu staying in power. meirav zonstein is a senior analyst for israel at the international crisis group, and she joins us live from tel aviv. before i get to the to the politics, i just want to

start. you will presumably have heard those air raid sirens after those missiles were launched from yemen. i imagine the idea of the cease fire going into into effect and and not having to fear that anymore. i mean, there must be a lot of a sense of relief in israel. >> yes. hi, kim. it's important. it's hard to overstate just how much of a relief it is that the cease fire is going to go through, no matter how fragile or how, you know, precarious it may be. it is absolutely necessary for both israelis and palestinians, and is the only way to start from somewhere where you can get to a better place. of course, there's lots of holes. but for israelis, the notion that hostages can finally be released is is huge, and that despite the fact that the israeli public at large has had a consensus around the need to fight hamas and hasn't really been critical about the way israel has fought with the military force. there is a

consensus today, and there has been in polls for a while now, that most israelis are willing to end the war, even if it means that they understand hamas will remain in some level in power to in order to get the hostages and get a break. so despite the fact that netanyahu and his far right are very much being dragged into this and against it, the israeli public wants this very much for the most part. >> yeah, so so on that unwillingness, then we have no idea whether this first phase of the ceasefire will even hold. but looking ahead, i mean, netanyahu faced so much opposition from israel's far right just to get to this stage. things will certainly come to a head if and when discussions begin about that second phase to implement that. so what do you think happens next from an israeli perspective? do you think, i mean, netanyahu has a problem. >> he is in this this ceasefire has now put him in a coalition crisis. he might have thought, and he might still be able to survive it. but he has one minister who is threatened that he's going to quit when it

goes into effect tomorrow. he has another minister, bezalel smotrich, who said that he will quit if they do not resume the war and destroy hamas. so we're in a very precarious situation where netanyahu might lose power. he he has, um, support from the opposition, from people like yair lapid to to keep his government going for as long as the hostage deal can be implemented. but ultimately, even before the ceasefire, he was having coalition issues. now it seems like it's a real crisis, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. um, and it's it's very unclear how long this is going to hold. netanyahu will do everything in his power to try and break the ceasefire and make it appear as if hamas is the one that violated it. that is going to be his m.o. going going through now. >> yeah, we've certainly seen that before in terms of how he does survive it. i mean, would netanyahu have given any promises or assurances to those in his coalition to to stop them from leaving the kind of

narrative acrobatics that have been going on in terms of how his office has been releasing statements? >> by the way, netanyahu has not addressed the israeli public since the ceasefire has been announced. there's been radio silence. um, he's not really publishing the full draft of of the deal. he's only, you know, emphasizing the hostage release part of it. um, and he's going he's going to have serious issues going forward. it's not clear how he's going to make it happen. he keeps saying that once the first 42, first 42 day, first phase gets through, if hamas doesn't do a, b and c, then he has he's claiming or i've seen a reports that he has guarantees by trump and by biden that if hamas violates he can go back in. and this is very similar to the situation in lebanon, where israel kind of has the military upper hand and reserves the right to fire when it sees it justified. so it's going to be very interesting to see how israel and how netanyahu specifically maneuvers through this and tries to figure out ways to undermine it. >> yeah, and it's not just the

far right, of course. i mean, netanyahu has stated those aims as well, and it's a line that you you had mentioned before, this condition of removing hamas from gaza as a as a condition to end the war. um, i mean, hamas isn't going to agree to their own destruction. so so that's another barrier, right? >> yes. people, i think a lot of israelis now understand officials have been talking about it for months, that the objectives of the war themselves were in conflict. you cannot both return all the hostages and destroy the people holding the hostages at the same time. um, and most israelis actually, i think, want a comprehensive, full, full deal right now. they don't want a phase deal. the families of those being held who are men and soldiers who are going to be at the end of this deal, are very, very skeptical that they're going to see those people come out. um, so there's a real problem there. and in terms of hamas remaining the governing power, even if its military has largely been destroyed and it's more of a guerrilla group

now. um, nobody is answering for that. in israel. there's no understanding of what is going to be in gaza, no security arrangements, neither for gazans or for israelis. all the political horizon issues are completely up in the air. and this is despite the fact that international actors, the uae, the u.s. have tried to push for a for a path that would include the palestinian authority on some level, no matter how problematic and complex that would be. netanyahu has completely rejected any of that. and so without any alternative, you're left with hamas de facto in power. um, and mostly just no strategic difference. since october 6th, 2023. >> yeah. let me ask you about that directly then, in terms of that so-called day after, if we get that far, the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas, has said the pa is ready to assume full responsibility in gaza. so you're saying that's a nonstarter, that that just won't happen.

>> as far as the israeli government and netanyahu is concerned, that's a nonstarter. but there, you know, and there is a lot of problems with mahmoud abbas. he's also not willing to reconcile his issues with hamas and other factions because he himself has centralized power over so long. um, but, you know, there there's no way that there will be a day after that makes sense for palestinians. and that is sensible also for long term israeli security. if hamas doesn't have some kind of acquiescence or buy in into what happens there, and if the palestinians themselves are not able to rule themselves. so, you know, the bigger picture here, i mean, you know, we hope to have a ceasefire in gaza, but what about a ceasefire in the west bank? the west bank is still occupied. the pa is still very much corrupt there. and so there needs to be a lot of processes for renewal, for accountability, for both sides, for there to be, um, you know, some kind of real horizon there. so for now, we don't have that. >> yeah. long, long way to go. we'll have to leave it there.

thank you so much, mary sunshine. live in tel aviv. really appreciate it. president elect donald trump's pick to lead the homeland security department is moving closer to confirmation. south dakota governor kristi noem took questions from senators for two hours on friday, offering insights into how she'll handle certain policies. she committed to scaling back the use of humanitarian parole and reducing temporary immigration relief for migrants from countries experiencing unrest. and she used language that sounded familiar. listen to this. >> as we focus on the southern border and what we're seeing as far as the invasion there, this is an invasion of our country. it is a war zone down there. >> this is now a war zone. >> our nation is a nation with borders, or we're no nation at all. >> without a border, you cannot have a nation. >> i know i'm also pledged to reinstate the trump era policy of requiring asylum seekers to stay in mexico while they wait

for hearings in the u.s. immigration court. seats will be limited at donald trump's second inauguration, with the ceremony moving indoors on monday. temperatures are expected to drop well below freezing. cnn's lauren fox is following the latest developments from capitol hill. >> well, the inauguration planning committees always have a contingency plan in the event of weather or some other obstacle that would bar the incoming president from being sworn in outside of the u.s. capitol. >> on the west front. but obviously, this is still causing a lot of confusion as congressional offices are scrambling to communicate who exactly will be allowed inside the capitol on inauguration day. we did get a new statement from the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies where they say, quote, as a result of the changes, the vast majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person at this time. we know that those with tickets for the

presidential platform and members of congress will be able to attend in person. while we know this is difficult for many attendees, we strongly suggest people who are in washington for the event attend other indoor events at indoor venues of their choice to watch the inauguration, and clearly they are conveying there that they don't want people gathering outside on the mall. this is going to be a dangerous weather situation and that is why it was moved indoors. i will tell you that on friday, just hours after this announcement, those who are planning this event began erecting the stage to which donald trump will be sworn in on monday. so the work is already underway as congressional offices are scrambling to make clear to constituents who have traveled to washington what they will and won't be able to do for inauguration. >> joe biden says it's been the honor of his life to serve as u.s. president, adding that his work will continue after his term ends. in a conference on

friday, he also made a surprising and controversial declaration that the equal rights amendment to the u.s. constitution should be considered ratified decades after it was introduced. here is the equal rights amendment is the law of the land now. >> it's the 28th amendment to the constitution. now. >> i consulted dozens of constitutional scholars to make sure that it was all within the power to do this. >> but legal experts argue it isn't that simple. since ratification, deadlines have lapsed and several states have revoked their approval. the amendment passed by congress back in 1972, enshrines equal rights for women. biden's announcement is expected to kick off a legal battle. while the ban on tiktok in the u.s. is fast approaching. why the popular video app says it will go dark on sunday without government action. we'll also look into how the shutdown could affect the already

by the supreme court. that is, unless the biden administration assures the company it won't be punished for violating that ban. white house officials didn't rule out action before the deadline, but president biden has left it to his successor to decide whether to enforce the ban. cnn's paula reid brings us the latest from washington. >> a unanimous supreme court allowing tiktok to be banned in the u.s. as soon as sunday amid bipartisan national security concerns over the popular apps linked to china. >> no tiktok had argued the ban violated the first amendment, but the justices disagreed, writing tiktok scale and susceptibility to foreign adversary control, together with the vast swaths of sensitive data the platform collects, justify differential treatment to address the government's national security concerns. last year, congress passed the law banning the app unless it was sold to a u.s. approved buyer. amid concerns

that its parent company, china based bytedance, shares data with the chinese government that could be manipulated against the u.s., congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding tiktok's data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary. the decision today drew rare bipartisan praise. >> if you've got it on your phone, the chinese government can track your whereabouts. they can read your text messages, they have access to your contact list, they can read your email. that's the problem. it's a national security concern. we want it to exist, but not under chinese control and ownership, so that the chinese are able to exploit the collection of information surveillance and increase their threat to our national security. >> the next move will fall to president-elect trump. this is going to be made by the next president anyway. trump responded by posting, my

decision on tiktok will be made in the not too distant future, but i must have time to review the situation. stay tuned. trump also told cnn over the phone, quote, it ultimately goes up to me. a tiktok ban was actually contemplated during trump's first administration when he was for it but has since appeared to have changed his tune. >> we love tiktok. i'm going to save tiktok. >> and he has some unexpected allies. >> the interesting thing is that president trump and i, a liberal democrat from massachusetts, agree on this issue. >> we have to find a way to keep tiktok alive. >> one clear path to stave off the ban is to show there are serious negotiations to sell the app. the law allows for a pause on the ban if that can be established, but the tiktok ceo has made no indication he intends to sell. instead, he made an appeal to the president elect on behalf of everyone at tiktok and all our users across

the country, 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, and there is still so much ambiguity around this ruling and when it will go into effect on friday. lawyers for tiktok creators appealed to the white house and the justice department for some clarification. but at this point, the biden administration appears poised to just leave this whole issue on the desk of the incoming president. paula reid, cnn, washington. >> all right. i want to go live now to cnn's mark stewart in beijing. mark, this has been such a contentious and nationalistic battle. so where do these two nations go in this complicated relationship? >> well, as you heard kim from paula, the plan is for tiktok to go dark. that does not mean that perhaps some last minute deal making or diplomacy could take place, but that will be very tricky because, as we have

heard in the past, at least, bytedance, the chinese owner of tiktok, has said that the platform is not for sale. but again, we have expected the unexpected. so perhaps anything is possible with all of that said, this is a matter that is of prime concern to the chinese government. in fact, at one point it referred to the united states as acting like a bully for the stance that it has taken. and china does have a lot at stake here because it wants to be strong. it wants to be very resolute on the world stage. it doesn't want american lawmakers or the u.s. government calling the shots. it's something that the chinese government wants to be in charge very much on the future of this app, of the future of tiktok. that is not stopping, though. the ceo, as we have heard throughout the last 24 hours for making an appeal of his own as the head of a business. let's take a

listen to more of his remarks that he made, in particular, those directed toward president trump. let's listen. >> 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. >> and i should point out that chinese citizens are very curious about this. a lot of the. conversation dominates social media. it's almost become a drama, and it's also been a rallying cry in many regards for chinese citizens who support tiktok. and the ceo, kim, for refusing to back down to this ultimatum from the united states. kim. >> yeah. fascinating to see how this will all play out. marc stewart in beijing. appreciate it. well, i'm kim brunhuber, for those of you watching in the united states and canada.

newsroom. more now on the cease fire and hostage agreement that's set to take effect tomorrow. israel says its truce with hamas in gaza will begin 8:30 a.m. local time on sunday. at some point on sunday, hamas is to release three female hostages and another 30 over the next few weeks. in exchange, israel will release 95 palestinians on sunday who have been held in israeli prisons. in total, israel will release more than 700 palestinians as part of the first phase of the deal. and as part of the agreement, israeli troops will withdraw from populated areas of gaza to a buffer zone. now, right now in egypt, hundreds of aid trucks are lined up ready to enter gaza when the fighting stops on sunday. the lead u.s. negotiator to the talks spoke with cnn's wolf blitzer about getting the agreement done. here he is. >> i was in israel around december 12th with jake sullivan. we spent two hours with bibi netanyahu and said, now, after the lebanon deal, this is the this is the catalyst to move back to the ceasefire deal in gaza and the

hostage releases. >> and it wasn't until the end of december, wolf, that hamas, for the first time agreed to the list of hostages to be released in the hostage deal and without hamas agreeing to that, you can't have a deal. and that actually opened up the space to get this done. >> hospitals in israel are preparing for the cease fire to take effect in the next step, providing care and treatment for the released hostages and their loved ones. cnn's bianna golodryga reports from tel aviv. >> as israelis anxiously await the release of hostages. six hospitals have spent the past several months preparing for this moment. >> we had some large exercise where we were simulating the arrival of of hostages in the tel aviv sourasky medical center says. >> they treated 17 of the 105 hostages released during the last ceasefire hostage deal in november 2023.

>> there is a lot of data suggesting that they may all be suffering from severe malnutrition, and this requires a very specific program on hand will be emergency doctors, nurses and psychological support staff. >> hospital officials are also prioritizing privacy for returning hostages and their families. >> we learned to give them their whole privacy, and if there was not enough privacy. >> yeah. >> when the last hostages were released. yeah. >> and what was the consequence of that? >> well, a huge pain. >> what was a dermatology unit has been transformed to a private attorney for the first among the hostages to be released are female civilians who will be treated in rooms like this one. also expected to be released in the first phase is 20 year old adam berger, along with four other female idf soldiers taken captive from

flammable gases like hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and then they also release their own oxygen. and so smothering the fire doesn't really work in these situations. putting a bunch of water on them doesn't really work in these situations. >> he says a normal gas powered car fire can be managed in 5 to 15 minutes, but putting out an ev fire could take 2 to 12 hours. >> so the battery just kind of has to run its course and its chemistry needs to be consumed before it'll it'll stop being on fire. >> if there is a vehicle that's burned out right now in one of these wildfire zones in la, that was an ev. is it possible that if the battery is intact, it could still reignite? yes, because of re ignitions, he says it could take a swimming pools worth of water to fully extinguish an ev battery fire. tesla ceo elon musk has been hyper critical of the state's response to the wildfires, claiming that the immense loss of homes in l.a. is a result of overregulation

and bad governance in the state. musk even wrote that it's over for gavin when reposting a truth social message from president elect donald trump calling for newsom to resign. but with tesla selling more electric cars in the california market than anywhere else in the nation, musk has also been providing resources to assist in recovery efforts, positioning starlink equipped cybertrucks and free wi-fi in areas of need and providing helpful resources to first responders. >> tesla has also developed some video training for first responders, so we've shared those with our fire department. >> he says he's already been in conversation with the epa about their initial plans to come through and clean up hazardous waste throughout the burned properties in these fires in los angeles, including all the batteries from home products and electric vehicles. a process that could take a very long time. natasha chen, cnn, altadena. california. >> well, for more on the

challenges of modern firefighting, we go live now to joe ten eyck in sacramento. he's the wildfire urban interface fire programs coordinator at the international association of firefighters. thanks so much for making the time for us here this morning. so just to start, what's your assessment of where things stand right now? do you get the sense that firefighters are getting a better handle on things now before the winds pick up again? is the worst over? do you think? >> well, thank you for having me, kim. and and yes, i think that's an accurate assessment. if you look at the acreage you haven't seen increases in acreage for the last several days. and once the santa ana wind event subsided, the firefighters led with the leadership of the incident management teams, did a fantastic job on air and ground resources of perimeter control and also overhauling interior fire and and unburned islands within the incident perimeters out there. there's still a lot more to do, and i

know that there's an additional wind event that's scheduled to come up, but right now they've been holding things well in hand. in a tragic situation. >> yeah, it certainly has been tragic for so many people. and there have been plenty of questions about what could have been done to prevent these fires from getting so bad. and one of the things that is mentioned often is that there's too much brush around houses, which helps spread the fire. was that a factor here? do you think? >> well, first, this was a generational fire. you had santa ana winds with category one and two hurricane force winds. um, in that urban populated area with a lot of wildland in between and also in steep terrain features that were in alignment with the winds. so it made for this catastrophic event. but to deepen into your question right there. absolutely. fuel removal, um, will decrease risk for small and large scale. the more you do, the more that

you're able to make structures more defensible. safeguard people that are trying to evacuate emergency resources going into the incident. and so you're correct on that part. so it always plays a role. and it's a huge investment. >> now intuitively that makes sense. and anecdotally we've heard success stories of homes that that did clear the brush. or places like the getty museum that did the so-called hardening from from bitter experience from previous fires. and it seems to have worked. but some experts say once buildings start catching fire, they provide their own fuel for that fire. and so, you know, what you do about brush clearing is basically irrelevant. for instance, we saw buildings go up that were just, you know, surrounded in a in a sea of concrete. >> yeah. you're, up that that structure, the structure thread or spread via whether it's residential or commercial is a is a real threat. and when you refer to the getty home

hardening, that is an essential component to go with fuels treatment. and also because each individual occupancy structure, whether it's residential or commercial, has to take a look at the construction, but also the vegetation that's surrounding it, so that when there's embers being thrown one two miles out in front and a wind driven event like this, they don't have a receptive fuel bed to land into because once it ignites a structure, then the ones that are close by, which we call exposures, there's that real threat that occurred here on structure, the structure threat. so it's a it's a multi-dimensional approach to fuel reduction, to home hardening for community resilience. >> do we need to strengthen brush clearing rules? i know many cities already have them. is it maybe more important to enforce them then? >> i think it's essential. i think that, um, in this. um,

regulations, for example, dictate how how fuels, how growth is cleared, how it's removed. and i think it's a good opportunity right now in light of this, to examine those and to remove obstacles so that we can get more work done. yeah. >> listen, we only have a minute left, but i did want to ask you this to look forward, because, of course, i mean, they're still fighting the fires. the danger is far from over, but thoughts are already turning to rebuilding. so how can we rebuild differently? better to become more resilient for the next big fire there you're in the tragedy. >> they'll rise again. that community there, and you're 100% correct. so there's an opportunity right now to take a hard look at this. and also provide sufficient urgency, response, staffing. let the fire service professionals be the lead in developing these community programs for home hardening and resilience. and and also fuel removal, shaded, unshaded fuel breaks, which

will lessen risk. it never 100% gets rid of it, but the more you invest, the more return you get. yeah. >> all right. listen, we know there will unfortunately be more big fires. so the more we can do to prevent that. uh, it's an important message. we appreciate you delivering it. joe ten eyck. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> well, fans are mourning the death of a soccer legend. after the break, we'll look at the passing of denis law, the last surviving member of manchester united's holy trinity. that's next in sports. >> nice to meet you. >> my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years, and i'm from flowery branch, georgia. >> when i have customers come in, i recommend prevention number one because it's safe and effective, does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself. and i know it works. and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, david, that really worked so good for me.
