following two major breaking news stories this morning. i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm amara walker. tiktok is now dark for 170 million users in the u.s., and the israel-hamas ceasefire is now in effect after an hours long delay. cnn anchor and chief national security analyst jim sciutto is following that for us from tel aviv. jim. >> after 470 days of suffering for the hostage families suffering, of course, for the people of gaza, so many thousands killed there, a moment of relief today after, as you say, a brief delay, that hostage release and ceasefire deal the very first day of the first phase of it is now underway, and we have the names of the first three israeli

hostages to be released. we'll bring you all that and more this hour. >> all right, jim, we'll get back to you in just a moment. tiktok officially gone dark. the app and others owned by bytedance went offline late saturday night, two hours before the ban was slated to take effect. >> so if you try to open tiktok this morning, you will see this message if you haven't already. sorry, tiktok isn't available right now. a law banning tiktok has been enacted in the u.s. unfortunately, that means you can't use tiktok for now. cnn's clare duffy is joining us now. and clare, also in that message, tiktok is suggesting that they will soon be back, really putting the pressure on the incoming president, president-elect trump. what can you tell us? >> yeah, victor amara, lots of unhappy tiktok users who are going to be waking up this morning after that notification popped up. as you said, there just about two hours before this ban was officially slated to go into effect. this is a huge deal. this is an app that has 170 million american users.

and as you said, they're tiktok owned lemon8 and video editing app capcut. also offline. all those apps are no longer on the app store. and what many experts had expected prior to about a week ago was that these apps would only be removed from the app store. but if you already had the app on your phone, you would still be able to use it. but what sources close to the company told us is that tiktok's technology partners like google, apple, oracle didn't receive enough assurance from the biden administration that they would not be fined under this law. so tiktok itself had to go dark. now, you see in that notification there, nodding to the fact that they may receive an assist from incoming president donald trump, who has promised his pledge to save this platform for americans. he said just yesterday, he told nbc that he is looking at a 90 day delay on the ban going into effect after he is sworn into office on monday. he said the 90 day extension is something that will be most likely done because it's appropriate, you know it's appropriate. we have to look at it carefully. if i

decide to do that, i'll probably announce it on monday. so the company may be looking at coming back online in just a few hours here, but does rely on donald trump deciding to take that action. and what's interesting is we're expecting to see tiktok ceo shou chew seated prominently at the inauguration alongside other tech ceos, which signals that donald trump is looking to make a deal here. he wants to bring this platform back for american users, but this is probably going to rely on bytedance, tiktok's parent company, being open to selling the platform to an american owner. and that has really been the sticking point for so long. bytedance has been unwilling to get, you know, offload the u.s. operations of tiktok. and so i think that's going to be the thing that trump is going to have to work out here is how likely is bytedance really to be willing to hand over tiktok to an american owner? >> a lot of questions up in the air. claire duffy, thank you so much. now, tiktok's ban in the u.s. has not only captured the attention of americans, but also the chinese public.

>> cnn's mark stewart is in beijing with more on china's reaction to tiktok's ban in the u.s. >> here in china, tiktok's shutdown in the united states is getting some coverage from chinese state media, which is the government's messenger service. the shutdown itself is being reported, even though this involves a private company. the chinese government has taken a stance at one point accusing the u.s. of acting like a bully. but this is political. china wants to stand strong, being the one who calls the shots, not the u.s. president elect, trump told cnn. the tiktok issue came up in a recent phone conversation with chinese leader xi jinping. yet here in china, the point was not acknowledged in a government readout of that phone call. chinese citizens are curious about this. this drama is often a dominating topic on social media. some of the posts support tiktok and its ceo for refusing to back

down to the u.s. meantime, in a bit of a phenomenon, some americans have been creating accounts with the chinese social media platform xiaohongshu, otherwise known as rednote. yet some have expressed frustration over government censorship. mark stewart, cnn, beijing. >> all right, mark, thanks. >> we are following breaking news in the middle east after a three hour delay. the gaza ceasefire is officially now in effect. and this is a live look at gaza city as people are beginning to return to what is left of the city. israel refused to begin until hamas delivered the names of the hostages that they promised to release today, and continued strikes during that window. hospital officials say at least ten palestinians were killed. >> and we've just received the names of the hostages who are set to be released today. a special unit has been set up at a medical center in israel to

help them recover. after more than a year in captivity. this is only the first phase of the ceasefire deal. 33 israeli hostages are set to be freed in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. during this phase, just phase one and 4000 aid trucks are ready to enter gaza, according to the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees. reuters reports that phase two negotiations will start within 16 days. >> let's get right to cnn chief security analyst live in tel aviv right now. jim sciutto. jim, what can you tell us about the timeline, how soon we might start seeing these three female hostages arriving in israel? >> well, that's going to happen in just a few hours. the plan is for 9 a.m. eastern time, though of course, it could slip a bit. we're not clear exactly how many minutes or hours after 9 a.m. eastern that we see the faces of those hostages. we now know who the first three

israeli hostages who will be released, who they are. they are romi gonin. she's 24 years old. doron steinbrecher, she's 31 years old. and emily damari, 28 years old, all taken on october 7th. and think about the moment that this is for those hostages themselves. of course, for the hostage families who've been waiting for them, but also for the people of israel, 470 days of waiting, not knowing the fate, frankly, of the hostages and many of them, sadly, close to 100 remain held in gaza, many of them, sadly, we know, have lost their lives during that long wait. and then, of course, inside gaza itself, 470 days of virtually relentless israeli bombing, the death toll mounting now into the tens of thousands, the vast majority of them, according to the best assessments, are civilians. and of course, there's been other

forms of suffering there as well. severe shortages of food and medical supplies. most of the hospitals not operational now anymore because of that relentless bombing campaign. so that long line of many hundreds of aid trucks, their desperate need for the aid that they are carrying in the scenes this morning in gaza, we saw some celebrations as the cease fire took effect. but we also saw hamas fighters still roaming the streets there, a sign that that initial goal, that main goal, in fact, as described by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, of eliminating hamas over the course of this war has not been achieved. hamas certainly debilitated, lost many lives. fighters, including their leader, the architect of october 7th, yahya sinwar but there is still at least a presence there. and that is one of those open questions. as we go forward, who will hold the power there for the palestinian

people there? discussions of plans for the palestinian authority to take a role, perhaps. international forces as well. but again, those like so many things in this ongoing conflict, remain open questions. what is happening today is a breath of relief in a long and bloody war. cnn's jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond has been covering this since the very beginning. jeremy, tell us what we know about how today will play out going forward. >> well, jim, we don't have exact timing, but we do now have the names of three of those israeli hostages who are set to be released today by hamas. they are ramy gonin, who is 24 years old, was taken from the nova music festival alongside emily damari, a 28 year old who was taken from kibbutz kfar aza, and doron steinbrecher, 31 years old, who was also taken from kibbutz kfar aza and for their families. this has been an agonizing 15 months that is

finally set to come to an end today, 15 months during which their families have advocated for them, fought for them, given countless interviews, spoken at rallies, doing everything in their power to to try and get to this moment of a ceasefire agreement with a hostage release provision. you know, i spoke actually with the mother of of doron steinbrecher in october, right around that one year mark of her daughter being taken captive from that kibbutz. this is my conversation with her, where she recounts the moment when her daughter was taken captive she was really afraid. she was on the phone with you when she was being taken. >> yes. and we don't know nothing about her. what happened with her? we don't know if she she is alive. we don't know nothing. >> and that she is finally set to get a little bit of of

closure today of more information and hopefully to be able to actually hug her daughter later today. we understand that the hostages, once they are received by israeli troops following hamas, giving them initially to the red cross, they will then be either flown or driven to a hospital in central israel. it will be the sheba medical center in the suburbs of tel aviv, and that is where we expect those family reunions to finally take place. jim. >> yeah, and of course, as you know, jeremy, the the scars, the emotional, psychological, physical scars of that long captivity, they will last, sadly. and israeli medical authorities are ready to do their best to help treat those wounds as well. thank you. jeremy diamond. as part of the gaza ceasefire hostage deal, nearly 2000 palestinian prisoners will be freed in exchange, many of them detained in ofer prison in the west bank. we're going to go there

palestinian prisoners in exchange for those three civilian women hostages who are being released today as well. cnn correspondent nada bashir is outside the ofer prison in the west bank, where we believe some of the prisoners will be released from now. can you tell us activity around the prison and prison now? and are the identities of those palestinian palestinian prisoners to be released known at this point? >> well, look, jim, we're not expecting to see any prisoners or detainees released until a couple more hours, at least not before 4 p.m. and of course, there was a delay to that ceasefire coming into place. so we may indeed see a delay in the exchange and release taking place later this evening. but as you mentioned, we are outside the ofer prison in the occupied west bank. this is expected to be one of the key release points, much as we saw back in november of 2023, during that four day truce between israel and hamas, where we saw the exchange of hostages

for palestinian prisoners and detainees. today, we are expecting to see 95 palestinians, potentially, according to israeli authorities. we've obviously seen varying figures. according to palestinian authorities, suggesting perhaps only 90 to be released today. the idea is that per civilian hostage release, we would see around 30 palestinian prisoners or detainees released in exchange. and then, per israeli soldier, later on in the phases of this agreement, we would see that increasing to 50 palestinian prisoners or detainees. but what we know so far about those set to be released, according to a list issued by israeli authorities, is that this list contains at least 70 women and 25 men, among them are ten teenagers and at least 30 have been held under administrative detention. that is a deeply controversial practice. it means, essentially, that there are no charges laid against them, no ongoing legal processes or trials, and important to put this in the

framework of the wider situation here, there are more than 10,000 palestinians currently held in israeli jails, more than 3000 of them are held under administrative detention. now, in terms of the process and the logistics, things are still up in the air and somewhat unclear. what we do understand at this stage, jim, is that the red cross is set to play a role in. this is said to be coordinating with the israeli authorities in terms of the logistics of the release, and we're expecting to see palestinians taken to one of the key prisons, which is the ofer prison here behind me, and then bused onwards into the occupied west bank, where they will be bused to where they will be met with their families, et cetera. it is unclear at this stage. again, back in november 2023, we saw them being bused to local municipality buildings where they were reunited with family members. however, we also saw huge large scale celebrations, families gathering, local residents gathering. israeli authorities have said at this stage they do not want to see any of those celebrations. they will be cracking down on clear

how or if we see that crackdown later this evening. what i can tell you is that we are beginning to see people gathering up on this hill, much as we saw back in november 2023, wanting to see this moment as those prisoners and detainees are released. but of course, this is a long process. it's unclear. it's a fragile agreement. so it remains to be seen when exactly we see that release take place. >> and it's a good point that nauta makes there, that administrative detention does not mean that these prisoners, at least not all of them, were convicted of crimes that they've been held an important distinction. thanks so much to nada bashir there. we should also note that this is a hostage release and ceasefire deal that came through the work cooperation, in fact, of the biden administration, the outgoing biden administration, the incoming trump administration. and yesterday, several of the hostage families met with incoming trump administration officials, including the incoming national security advisor, mike waltz. and they tell me they were told

by those trump administration officials that the president elect and his administration will not rest until all the hostages taken on october 7th are returned. coming up next on cnn this morning, i'm going to speak to the father of one of those who still remains in gaza tai chen, killed on october 7th. his remains still held in gaza, one of seven americans held there. i'll ask him what this deal means for him. for those families of loved ones who will not be coming home today. >> superman the christopher reeve story. february 2nd on cnn. >> i brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. here, i'll take that in. >> sure. max protein, 30g protein, one gram of sugar and a protein blend to feed muscles up to seven hours. >> whoa. how'd you get your teeth so white? >> well, you got to use the right

three families who will get their loved ones home today. i wonder what the difficulty is to not be among those three families and still waiting, still waiting for the relief you've been hoping for all these months. >> yeah, jim, i think you know how many times i've been to washington and in and out of the white house. i give myself five seconds to say, you know what? all of it was worth it. all those calls with the negotiators and in the middle of the night, all the meetings with the different senators and congressmen and officials that we met in order to get to this point. but then i remember that the job is not done. and we need to ensure that the 16 days that we are waiting for to begin the next phase of the negotiation needs to start today. and that is what i'm

advocating to the incoming administration. because if there's something predictable in the middle east, it is that it is unpredictable. and as such, we need to utilize this window of opportunity as much as we can to get as many hostages out. >> you said to me last night that when you and other families met with mike waltz, the incoming national security advisor, and others, that they assured you they will see this deal through, including to the point where your son, ty, is able to come home. do you take them at their word? >> i looked him in the eyes, jim, and they know that in this first phase, the majority of the u.s. hostages are not included, so they have an obligation to us, the u.s. families, first and foremost, to continue advocating and getting this deal done until

all of the hostages, including the u.s. citizens, are released from captivity. so i've seen him up close. mr. mike waltz, he has a army background. he knows what it is to go into battle and to lose comrades and what it means. and when you look into the eye of such an individual, he gets it. so i have some belief that he, as well as the other members of the administration, will do everything in their power to see this through. to. >> you have told me many times through these painful months that you do not believe the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, sufficiently prioritized the hostages in his decision making. and there are many hostage families who have done the same and have said that had this deal

come through more quickly earlier, more of the hostages might be alive. and i wonder, do you believe that there should be political consequences in this country? for how long that wait took? >> yes. you know, we had many inflection points over the last 15 months where we were told that, you know, if this happens, this will open the pathway for a deal. if it was more military pressure, if it was the killing of yahya sinwar, there was an obstacle. and each time there was a new obstacle that came about. and sometimes you feel that those obstacles were artificial. and i think that what we need to focus on now is that with this current government, we need to make sure that they have the best, which they do of 75% constantly. of the people of israel that have been polled that said that they are

willing for a deal that releases all of the hostages for a long standing ceasefire. and that is the energy that this government needs to move forward with. and then there needs to be an election. after what happened to the state of israel on october 7th to get a confirmation that this is indeed the elected officials that the state of israel wishes to have going forward for its new chapter and we should note that one member, right wing member of netanyahu's government left the government earlier today in protest of this agreement coming through. >> well, ruby, again, i want you to know that we at cnn, our hearts go out to you on this day, and we wish you and your family the very best in these coming days and weeks. >> thank you, jim, for having me. and

god bless. >> well, hostage families waiting anxiously for their loved ones to return. coming up, i'm going to speak to a mental health expert on what the healing process might be like for the hostages who are finally being freed. it's a long road. >> today, a ceasefire in the middle east, incoming national security advisor mike waltz joins dana. >> plus, the day before donald trump's inauguration, congressman jim jordan and ambassador rahm emanuel, state of the union live this morning at nine. >> to avoid digital threats. just turn on nordvpn improve your protection against trackers, malicious websites and malware ridden downloads. get the deal now. >> i love that my daughter still needs me, but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands. so i use nervive nervive clinical dose of ala reduces nerve

>> coming home is far from painless for those who've lived through captivity as hostages of hamas from the ongoing israel-hamas conflict, some of them today, three of them are returning to freedom. they will carry with them an incredible amount of psychological and physical trauma. joining me now is merav roth, an expert in traumatic bereavement, as well as psychoanalyst at the university of haifa. merav, thank you so much for taking time today thank you. so we know that israeli hospital officials, doctors, psychiatrists are ready to receive the three women who we expect to be released today with the best care possible to offer them. after 470 days in, in life threatening captivity. i wonder if you could help detail for us what that process is

like. for instance, what's the first step when they come home? beyond, of course, the physical medical checks they'll undergo. >> yes. um, well, we do have experience and it helped us to, to make it even more, more punctuate, more correct. this time, i think the first the first thing is to let these people know that these women know that they are free and not only by knowing that they are in israel, but also knowing that they have a voice, that they have a choice. and, you know, the soldier on the border, when he reaches for one of his young women, they know that they should ask them, can i hold your hand? he cannot just grasp to their hand because they need to, to know that no one is forcing them anymore because they were forced for one year and four months, every moment.

>> yeah. >> so this is the first, the very first. >> you have a sense i hate. i'm sure that's such a such a powerful one. right. because it's about a loss of control. being a hostage. and i can only imagine the, the worst trauma that they must, must have been through there based on history. when you look at other hostages who've been released, for instance, the first few who are released after the first few weeks of the conflict, what is the path to recovery like? and i'm certain, as i asked that question, that it's different for everyone. >> it is true, but there are also common traits. you know, i'm i'm chairing f.l.m. f.l.m is an organization that gives pro bono therapy to the victims of october 7th, including the released hostages and the families of the hostages. and we had a group of supervision, and it took us a few weeks to understand that we see a similar thing between our

patients who came back from gaza. and it was an extreme passivity. and a kind of, um, a passivity. that one gains after being held in this paradoxical tension between being the most afraid ever. every moment is a fear of death, a concrete fear of death, and being completely passive. and you cannot deny any request from the. so this this tension is held in their body and in their mind so heavily, and it takes a long, long time to melt it until they begin to to believe that there are human persons and not only hostages, and that they are free to to feel that they are free to think and to connect and to communicate.

>> yes, goodness, that passivity must be such an alarming thing for their families to see. i wonder, is there something that hostages on their released that they ask for initially? is it time with their families? is it, uh, is it help from caregivers? what do they tend to ask for first? >> this is individual from one to the other. the point is that they don't know what they are coming out to. it's very sad. i was sitting with two girls in the hospital waiting for for their mother to come back from gaza a year and two months ago, and she called them from, uh, from the border. they allowed the families to, to connect after they crossed the border. and they were extremely excited to hear their mother's voice. but then she asked, where is daddy? they didn't know. they don't know their who was murdered in their families.

they don't know if they have a home. they don't know that their their homes were burned. so this is a very, very dramatic moment to to move them into reality, which is so complex. so they need a lot of quiet. i think what we made a change here with the media is to realize that you cannot make them so flooded by the media, because this is another extreme exposure, which is also overwhelming. so this i hope this time we will be smarter to let them be in their small surroundings, more secure. and slowly, slowly they can come out sorry. yeah it takes time until they come out from their houses. >> understood? yeah, that's a very good point that they will they might find out news they didn't want to hear right,

about other lost loved ones from that day, october 7th, and the months since. we appreciate the work you do. thanks so much for joining. >> thank you victor and amara, some joyful reunions to come, but also a painful process of reentering, right reentering the world they used to know. >> we'll bring you all we know as it happens. >> yeah, it's definitely going to be such a delicate situation. welcoming home those hostages. jim, thank you very much. we'll see you in a bit. still to come. it is joe biden's final full day as president. we're going to take a look at what he has planned for today and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. >> super man, the christopher reeve story, february 2nd on cnn. >> dry, tired. itchy. burning my dry eye. symptoms got worse over time, my eye doctor explained the root was

inflammation. sidra was made for that. so relief is lasting. >> sidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to sidra and seek medical help if needed. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort, blurred vision, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface before using sidra. remove contact lenses and wait 15 minutes before reinserting dry eye over and over. >> it's time for sidra type two diabetes. >> discover the ozempic. >> tri zone. ow ow ow ow ozempic i got the power of three. >> i lowered my a1 c cv risk and lost some weight. >> in studies, the majority of people reached an a1 c under seven and maintained it. >> i'm under seven. >> ozempic lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults. also with known heart disease. >> i'm lowering my risk and adults lost up to 14 pounds. >> i lost some weight. >> ozempic isn't for type one diabetes or children don't share needles or pens or reuse needles. don't take. if you or your family had mtc me in two or if allergic to it, stop

and round up illegal immigrants in this country and deport them. and that's exactly what some of this early action is going to look like. we're told that you should expect ice raids through major metropolitan cities, sweeps through cities like washington, d.c., chicago and denver. and donald trump actually addressed some of this in an interview with nbc. on saturday, he said essentially, that he wants to begin very early, very quickly with some of these actions and some of these cities, but wouldn't say exactly where. now, some of the other actions, we're told, related to immigration, as well as donald trump and his team are considering a national emergency declaration to try and free up some of the resources from the pentagon to be sent to the southern border, as well as looking at different asylum restrictions and really rolling back some of what joe biden has done, some of which, of course, was him undoing what donald trump had done during his first time in office. now, we did hear from one of donald trump's advisers on saturday, speaking with cnn's jessica dean. really walking through

some of this action that is expected to be taken. take a listen. >> when you go back to the campaign trail, what president trump would talk about is that local law enforcement really knows where the criminal illegals are. and so partnering up with local law enforcement to make sure that we go and target the folks who are the really bad actors, we're talking the transnational gang members. we're talking the people that we know that are criminal illegals that are here in this country, that, quite frankly, are a danger to society. >> now, you heard miller tell jessica there that really one of the big focuses is going to be on targeting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in this country. that is definitely a big focus, i'm told, for donald trump on day one, but not all of those early executive orders are going to be focused on immigration. i'm told there's also going to be some orders focused on trade and the economy, as well as energy. so a lot that donald trump is planning to do on day one, just shortly after being sworn in. alayna treene cnn washington. >> elena. thank you. and today

is president joe biden's final full day in office. there's new cnn reporting that he's leaving feeling nostalgic for his decades long political career, but also frustrated over the way it all ended. >> the president is scheduled to spend his final full day in south carolina, the state that helped catapult him into office in 2020. cnn senior white house producer betsy klein joins us now live from the white house. betsy, it was, of course, the endorsement from congressman clyburn and that south carolina primary that boosted him to the nomination and then went on to win. so he's going back. what's the plan? >> that's exactly right, victor. i mean, south carolina is a place of such special significance for president biden and his entire family. frankly, the president really widely credits that state with catapulting him to that 2020 victory. it was a place that really revitalized and rebooted his flagging campaign. and at the time, it's also a state where the family gathered really shortly together for the

first time after the death of beau biden, the president's son from brain cancer. but now he is returning there, he said, i was with the president about a year ago at mother emanuel ame church in charleston, as he was really starting to kick off his 2024 campaign, he said at the time. it's because of this congregation and the black community of south carolina. it's not an exaggeration. and jim clyburn, as you mentioned, victor, that i stand here today as your president. now, of course, there were some early signs during that trip that biden's message on democracy wasn't quite breaking through to voters. he also was interrupted multiple times by protesters demanding a ceasefire in gaza. of course, taking on new significance today in light of the news there. but really, he is returning today under very different circumstances after that, quite bruising 2024 campaign and is really ending his decades long career in public service. as one source tells us, he's feeling very frustrated and frankly, a little bit uh, that he that his

team quote didn't tell a good enough story. he's also frustrated and feels some resentment that he's turning over the keys of the federal government to trump tomorrow. but today he is there for a sunday service where he will invoke martin luther king jr. and talk about doctor king's legacy and the continued fight. one source says to make doctor king's dream a reality. now, all of this comes as the president, in the last few weeks of his presidency, has been racing the clock to issue some of those last minute executive actions and take make efforts to shore up his legacy and protect it from moves that trump could make. now, of course, we saw biden on his first days in office, take executive actions to undo some of trump's actions, and we should expect president elect trump to do the same thing on monday and into next week. but really, a lot of a lot of executive actions in these final days. and we'll be watching whether he takes any last minute clemency or preemptive pardon actions as he left the door open to that victor and amara walker betsy
