people of china. >> i'm sure it's happened before, i don't know about yours at the white house, location is not even revealed. it clearly the chinese have put a lot of demands on biden and his team in order to have this meeting, and clearly we have given to the demands. i think he should have to face americans, that means people protest. we should show xi jinping what a free society looks like, ability to speak truth to power, we'll see what happens. i think giving in to all of their demands in order to get a meeting just shows that you are already giving concessions walking into the meeting. >> and you know this from a communications standpoint, the white house has been lowering expectations. we just want communication so he can take a victory lap at the 7:15 p.m. solo press conference. thanks to everyone. keep watching. "america reports".

>> john: kayleigh, thank you. president biden expected to meet xi later this hour as they meet face-to-face the first time in a year for a summit in california. and we are learning some major developments before those high level talks even begin. i'm john roberts in washington. sandra, the top of the mountain, a long slide into the weekend from here. >> sandra: we are indeed. good to be with you, john. this is "america reports". making headlines, expected agreement between the two global superpowers to stem the flow of fentanyl into the u.s.. and according to one report, the two leaders will sign off on a deal to rein in the use of artificial intelligence in drones and nuclear weapons. >> john: but critics warn it's the united states surrendering to one of the biggest adversaries with wars raging in other parts of the world. jacqui heinrich is live in san francisco ahead of this critical

summit. jacqui. >> john, president biden heads into this summit having already clinched two of his biggest priorities, restoring military to military communications and also a deal where china will crack down on fentanyl companies in exchange for sanctions relief if china follows through with its end of the bargain. >> if they, in fact, make these arrests and shut down these companies, then we will be lifting a few sanctions, yes. the chinese have been able to provide information on literally dozens and dozens of companies that are involved and they are beginning to take steps against some of those companies. >> but there are some pit falls. critics say biden is seeding the u.s. strategic advantage in a deal to limit artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons and senate democrats derailed some expected trade announcements, a counter to china, after lawmakers were

leery of unenforceable labor standards and a similar obama deal. that hands -- with that biden handed xi an opening which white house officials denied saying they are still ironing out the details. overall, we don't expect too much tough talk from president biden. administration believes u.s. interests are better protected if china wants to cooperate, seeing its economic vulnerability as a pressure point with youth unemployment, depreciate. so they are cleaning up the city as a show of respect to xi to get this relationship stabilized. biden's top diplomats acknowledge president xi is here to broadcast to the world that china is open for business, but they still believe this reset is a good thing and they point to china treating basic data on its economy as if it were national security information as evidence of its weakness, and they believe that the u.s. economy and all of our partnerships and tech investments have china on

its heels. plenty of tests ahead to see if it proves itself out, john. >> john: and if china would live up to the terms of a deal on fentanyl or not. jacqui heinrich for us in san francisco. thanks, a lot more on all of this, sandra, still ahead. >> sandra: mark warner top of the next hour, senator steve daines and byron york as well. chris christie our big guest coming up as well. [gunfire] >> sandra: the new video in to us through the idf, the war in gaza reaching a crucial moment,

israeli forces making a daring raid on gaza's largest hospital, suspected of protecting hamas central command center. entering the hospital hours after the pentagon said u.s. intelligence supports israel's claims hamas has been operating out of the hospital complex for years. complete coverage, former deputy national security adviser victoria coates is standing by. but first, let's get to alex hogan, live on the ground in northern israel for us at this hour. hezbollah has been firing more rockets towards your location, alex? >> that's right, sandra. so, we saw a range of missiles and rockets fired just towards this direction. our crew was able to run to the bomb shelter but we had a camera capturing some images. as many as 15 rockets and missiles landing there on the border near us between israel and lebanon. the idf says it is responding to

that today. idf has reportedly left the al-shifa hospital and is stationed on the exterior of that healthcare facility. but so far soldiers there say they have uncovered ammunition and military infrastructure inside. it had been days of a anff to prevent civilian casualties. the idf says it has taken control of the north where it also says it found tunnels that hamas uses as well as these intricate training centers where there is classrooms, really expansive situations that we are seeing there, but the main concern for the idf on the ground is with this intricate system of tunnels that they could be ambushed from behind. now, as far as the danger for civilians who are there, israel has green lighted fuel shipments to gaza for humanitarian reasons. this was the first fuel truck to drive through the rafah crossing earlier today. israel had previously not allowed fuel shipments saying that hamas would only take this fuel as a weapon to then fight back. prime minister benjamin

netanyahu tonight says as many as 10,000 rockets from hamas has been fired across israel, and a threat of hezbollah on the other side of the border in the continued strikes we continue to report on. sandra. >> sandra: alex hogan with the latest, a lot of action. we'll check in with you again shortly. thank you. john. >> john: let's bring in victoria coates, former deputy national security adviser to president trump and vice president of foreign policy at the heritage foundation. so, it was interesting yesterday both john kirby and sabrina singh at the pentagon confirmed through the u.s. intelligence said yes, we know hamas is using this al-shifa hospital for military operations and for hiding hostages. though today john kirby stopped short of saying that joe biden had green lighted the hospital operation. listen here. >> we did not give an ok to their military operations around the hospital in similar fashion

to the effect that we didn't, you know, we don't give oks to their other tactical operations. these are israeli military operations that they plan, and they execute on, you know, in accordance with their own established procedures. the united states is not -- is not involved in that -- in these procedures. >> john: so the white house is saying we did not green light this operation but the same time, both the white house and the pentagon giving cover to that operation by saying yeah, israel is right. >> i would prefer them to be standing a little more strongly with israel and saying it was a necessary operation that had to happen. we have had this problem with al-shifa going back at least ten years, it was a problem in the gaza war in 2014 and israel was restrained from going in and taking care of it. clearly it remained a key asset for hamas and where they planned the most recent attack. >> john: we were talking about the building itself before you came on. what do you know about it?

>> it's always good to have an art historian around. but no, the building originally was a british barracks during the protectorate, it was in the 1990s and up to their standards, and one of the most well maintained building, and not just shifa, but the schools where hamas parks the missiles, fighters embedded in them, and that's how they try to protect their operations and i guess that's what israel has decided enough is enough and even though it's a hospital, they are going to take out what they can. >> john: when it was built as a barracks and upgraded by the israelis, how extensive was the underground portion of it. >> i think it was normal, a normal basement, yeah, obviously for a hospital of that scale it's going to be large. but what appears to have happened is that hamas has dug different levels of tunnel, not just one level.

so you have almost like floors underground going down, and so it's going to be very difficult to dismantle entirely, but they are trying. >> john: so far evidence that weapons were being housed there. no sign of hamas leadership at this point, though. the country is coming in for withering criticism for operations at the hospital but what the wall street journal said about it. contrary media claims of israeli siege, israel days ago opened a humanitarian corridor, many have since fled. israel is in contact with the hospital and offered to evacuate patients for treatment elsewhere. hamas prefers patient, including babies, to remain in the war zone. we saw that in recent hours israel has delivered some humanitarian supplies, incubators, hospital beds and other things, at least gurneys to the hospital. so it is fighting against the

p.r. campaign that hamas is waging that israel is attacking what should be an out of bounds target. >> no, absolutely. and israel knows perfectly well that this public relations war will be waged against them, this is what hamas has done historically, and so they have developed extraordinary procedures going back to 2014 again, the after action reports that we sent our generals over to critique them for their behavior, and our generals came back and basically said we could learn from the israelis. so they know, they don't want any harm to come to these people. they tried to deliver fuel to the hospital, hamas refused it. they are the ones who are holding the people of gaza at risk. >> john: i want to ask you quick about this new report that came out of reuters that said iran's supreme leader delivered a clear message to the head of hamas when they met in tehran in early november, you gave us no warning of your october 7th attack on israel and we will not enter the war on your behalf.

iran won't directly intervene in the conflict unless it itself is attacked by israel or the united states, according to officials with direct knowledge. instead, the clerical rulers use their axis network of armed allies, including hezbollah to launch rocket and drone attacks on israeli and american interests across the middle east. it suggests unless iran is attacked directly it will stay out of the war. do you think it will be cover to say iran had nothing to do with it? >> like the scene from "casablanca," shocked to learn gambling is going on, here is your winnings. there's no way hamas planned this without intelligence support from a nation state actor and that actor is iran and interesting in the context of the xi-biden meeting, if iran bank rolled hamas, xi bank

rolled iran. >> john: the money trail is long and tortuous. no question about that. >> sandra: very interesting discussion. thank you, john. a new development in hunter biden's legal saga, where the president's son is now pushing to somebody several high profile individuals, including former president donald trump and his attorney general. >> john: plus, house lawmakers pressing dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas and those coming over the border. we are going to be joined to discuss whether the biden administration is doing anything to address the growing threat. car payments are getting out of control. not long ago, you could pay off a car in a few years. now, car loan rates have climbed to 15% and can take five years to pay off. so get this, the newday 100 va cash out loan. our lower rates

>> john: stunning new development in the hunter biden criminal case. his defense team is motioning to subpoena former president donald trump and former attorney general bill barr among others. david spunt here in washington with more on all of this. i don't imagine a judge is likely to go along with this request. >> seems unlikely, its just hit the docket a couple hours ago, request to subpoena the former president and bill barr, but extraordinary if it happened. the request is on this case, united states versus biden. the criminal case where the first son is fighting federal gun charges. according to this document, the current president's son wants to somebody the former president, donald trump, former attorney general bill barr, former doj official and acting attorney general richard donahue, and jeffrey rosen, clearly the most notable is donald trump.

abbe lowell, who filed the motion, used part of former bill barr's book to explain where he believes trump should be subpoenaed. the book recalls an instance in mid october 2020, mr. trump called mr. barr and ended with mr. barr yelling damn it, mr. president, i am not going t talk to you about hunter biden period, end wrote. lowell says it's more of a mere appearance that president trump improperly pressured doj to pursue an investigation and prosecution of mr. biden to advance president trump's partisan ambitions. the department of justice under bill barr created a back channel through a u.s. attorney in pittsburgh scott brady to take in information relating to allegations about hunter biden and overseas business dealings. when reached by fox news today, bill barr said he had no comment on the subpoena request but abbe

lowell is saying this violates hunter biden's fifth amendment rights. and hunter biden is moving forward with a federal trial on gun charges. could also be charged on tax crimes. >> john: make sure i have this straight. so abbe lowell is pushing trump was pushing investigation, even though the doj took five years what could have been investigated in five days. >> that's right, the hunter biden laptop in possession of authorities 2018, 5 years ago, and they are using this as a political, saying the prosecution from the beginning was politics, john. >> john: well, might be a difficult case to make, we'll see. >> we will. >> john: thank you, david. >> sandra: thank you, john. vivek ramaswamy calling out rnc chair woman mcdaniel as criticism grows over recent election losses and now another

candidate may be on board. ronna mcdaniel's response next live. >> john: murder charges on eight teenagers suspected of beating another teen to death. emotional message from the victim's father. >> lunacy. jonathan's mother and i held his hand for days and nights praying he would recover. and you can do the exploring. you can do the splashing... ...the sightseeing... ...and the playing. calquence is an oral targeted therapy for cll. more patients begin with calquence than any treatment of its kind, and calquence is proven to work better than chemoimmunotherapy in patients with previously untreated cll. calquence may cause serious side effects, which may lead to death. these include serious infections with fever,

>> what number do you represents a bad day. an we do not minimize the significant of the challenge at the southwest border. >> you are refusing to answer the question. what is the number? >> i have answered your question. >> no, you haven't. >> i would argue you have been aiding and abetting the deaths and the criminal enterprise that has occurred in this nation.

>> incredibly dangerous to accuse secretary mayorkas of aiding and abetting crimes. >> look, i live in a border state, you don't. >> facing off with homeland secretary mayorkas and christopher wray in a hearing today. republicans warning the u.s. is at a heightened risk of a terrorist attack due to the biden administration open border policies. which has seen a record number of suspected terrorists crossing our southern border. texas republican congressman tony gonzalez joining us now, a member of the homeland security committee and held that hearing. first off, what are your top take aways from what you heard in that room? >> yes, sandra, thank you for having me. first off i'm disapointed that house republicans failed to impeach mayorkas this week but i am hopeful that we will continue to push and we will hold him accountable and there will be other -- there will be other in impeachment votes hopefully marjorie taylor greene leads. i was able to ask the secretary

three questions that got him to acknowledge. first thing was that increased -- right now the penalties for smugglers do not match the crime and asked if it was important to increase that. he agreed to that. and increase the number of people deported, helpful to securing the border. he acknowledged deporting people that do not qualify for asylum is important. and the incredible standard, making it more difficult to qualify for asylum, if that would be helpful in securing the border, he acknowledged as well. it's important house republicans continue to push the issue on securing this border. >> sandra: christopher wray, the fbi director, did not answer directly when asked about how many got aways could be suspected terrorists. listen to this. >> can the fbi guarantee the american people that known or

suspected terrorists, including any from hamas or other terror groups are not amongst those got-aways? i think greater fidelity about who is coming in this country and how they are getting in is essential to making sure we protect americans. >> sandra: i mean, i don't know if anybody feels any better after hearing this. law enforcement has multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with hamas, the fbi director also told congress. i mean, what should the american people people think from what they are hearing in the room. >> the american people should be scared as hell. of course we don't know who is coming into the country. fshg we don't know who is on the terrorist watch list, that part is evident. part i'm trying to highlight and many of us, this is not a partisan issue when a terrorist action occurs, they want to kill americans and it's imperative we

all come together and figure out who these people are, where they are going and ultimately, make it stop. house republicans -- republicans in general, we cannot be the party of rhetoric. we have to be of the party of solutions, and we have to keep fighting until we find meaningful solutions that get signed by the president. >> sandra: if i put the numbers on the screen, southwest border numbers, total encounters, congressman, nearly 241,000 of that, on the terror list, terror watch list arrests made, 12. while the number is small, this is christopher wray, fbi director and congressman mccaul acknowledging a small number of terrorists can have a large impact. >> numbers alone don't tell the problem. we have seen how much damage just a small number of foreign terrorists could cause. it was 19 people who killed 3,000 people. >> that was the next point i was going to make. only took 19 to create 9/11. >> sandra: that needs to be

highlighted and as the push for impeaching mayorkas continues, that won't fix overnight our problems at the border and won't seek out the terrorists that could already be here today. final thought. >> my thought is we need to kin to hold this administration accountable and house republicans have to deliver. may not be everything but deliver at least something in 23 and 24 on border security and then we come back for the rest. a down payment, if you will, and then come back for the rest in 2025 when we win back the white house. >> sandra: got it. congressman tony gonzalez, thank you for joining us, sir. john. >> john: republicans taking a hit following last week's election results and now focused on finding a winning message for next november with abortion being a key issue. rnc chair woman ronna mcdaniel says republicans need to push for restrictions nationwide but many say it has not worked in the past.

she joins us now. >> good to see you. >> happy, birthday. >> thank you for the cupcake. >> best in d.c., but they are good. what happened november 8th? >> i would disagree with the intro. i don't think i'm saying they need to pass restrictions nationwide. what i'm saying, you have to put money behind your message. democrats are only running on abortion. in virginia, they ran nine times more on ads on abortion, and if somebody is lying about you and you let it go unanswered, the lie becomes the truth. so the candidates need to take this head on. i've been saying this for two years as a suburban woman. the rnc does not do the ads. in virginia, danny took abortion head on, put his daughter in the ad, i highly recommend you put the ad out he won a flip seat, flipped a dem seat because he took it head on and we have to do it if we will win in 2024.

>> john: a republican who did not flip a seat, daniel cameron in kentucky and one of the reasons why he did not flip the seat was this ad here. watch. >> i was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse. i was 12. anyone who believes there should be no exceptions for rape and incest could never understand what it's like to stand in my shoes. this is to you, daniel cameron. >> john: so he did not have any answer for that, and when democrats say the republicans are the party that's going to restrict your right to abortion, the majority thinks abortion should be accessible, even with some restrictions. how do you change the messaging for next year? obviously this is going to remain a big issue, because democrats win on this. how do you adjust the messaging so republicans can win? >> it's going to be the candidates. candidates have to be comfortable and say listen, i'm proud to be pro life, the party

of pro life, but post roe we need to come to consensus, have the concessions for rape, life and incest and also humane common sense, when a baby feels pain, when the baby can feel life taken from them, democrats won't meet me there. they are on the extreme, we are willing to come to consensus. >> john: so that was the 15 week law that glenn youngkin was trying to get the senate flipped on and hold on to the house and lost both. >> i applaud glenn youngkin for doing that. but outspent 9-1, people are not getting the message. you can't say this is where we have, you need t get on tv. don't let the democrats lie about you, or lifesaving care for miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies, the democrats are

spreading lies about republicans, and republicans consultants, not the rnc, have to tell their candidates to go on tv and then we can talk about the border, inflation, independence, all the things democrats can't win on. >> the part i forget you gave me a cupcake. some republicans are pointing the finger at you, one of them vivek ramaswamy. >> speak the truth. since ronna mcdaniel took over in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2019, no red wave came, and trounsed last night. i think we have to have accountability in the matter. if you want to come on stage, look the gop voters in the eye and tell them you resign -- >> john: so that's expected i think to some degree from ramaswamy. maybe donald trump is going south. >> i would say to vivek, i understand you want to take me

on, i'm focused on taking on joe biden. he's ruining the country, destroying lives of millions of americans, living paycheck to paycheck, we are going into thanksgiving. and by the way, republicans are really sick of this in-fighting. we just saw it with the speakers race. it's a losing strategy if we are hitting each other. >> john: should be more fighting like mark wayne mullen and o'brien from the teamsters. >> i don't know if i could have taken that guy. >> john: i watched the entire exchange and wow. o'brien better not get in the ring with mullen. five time mma champion. that would not end well. >> happy birthday. >> appreciate it. >> sandra: and a happy birthday, john. ronna, thank you. eight teenagers have now been charged with murder, a story we have been following closely two weeks after a good samaritan

high school student was beaten to death in las vegas while defending another student. william is following the story. what happens next, william? >> six of the eight defendants are in court today because they are under 16 and trying to stay out of adult court and police are still looking for two more teens involved in this fight which police say started after someone stole a pair of wireless headphones and a vaping pen from jonathan lewis, or a younger friend that he was defending. but after one punch from the alleged thief, others joined the mob. >> the minute the punch is thrown with that person, ten subjects immediately swarm him, put him to the ground and kick, punching and stomping on him. autopsy was performed by the clark county coroner's office on the victim, where he was, his cause of death was blunt force trauma homicide. >> lewis died six days later in the hospital. his parents at his side.

>> justice is a deep, deep thing for me and there's a lot more to it than just these kids going to prison. to me it's what is the community going to do about this? what -- when are people going to wake up and start having some compassion for one another? >> a gofundme page has so far raised about $100,000. the eight suspects were all booked into juvenile detention on a murder charge. two of those are over 16. they'll be tried as adults, according to the county attorney. as for those under 16, a juvenile court judge will decide if they will be tried in juvenile or adult court. a local d.a. told me the d.a. is likely going to file this open murder charge and then amend it later on, depending on how much criminal responsibility each teen has for jonathan's death. convicted in juvenile court, a teen likely set free in 21. but adult court, 16 or

17-year-old could get 25 to life in prison. back to you. >> sandra: william, thank you. john. >> sandra, crime also out of control in the nation's capital. back-to-back car jacksonvilling during a police chase in d.c. and comes just days after secret service agents protecting the president's granddaughter opened fire on another group of carjackers. is it time for lawmakers to step in. >> sandra: unbelievable the crime happening there, and we are moments away from a highly anticipated meeting between president biden and china's president xi. the two leaders making progress on big topics beforehand. but some are asking at what cost? what we can expect out of the face-to-face meeting. >> i worry a little about what concessions he might grant. if we don't have a relationship with china, it's not like they are two teenagers dating. china is our number one adversary in the world. at a bank lately?

>> sandra: any moment new president biden is expected to greet chinese president xi jinping for a highly anticipated summit. ahead of the talks, the two leaders have agreed to limit the use of artificial intelligence in military technology. can beijing be trusted to hold up the end of the deal and can president biden press his counterpart on other issues. marie hart, and byron york, both are fox news contributors. byron, start with you first. are you optimistic for what will come out of these talks? >> no, i'm not optimistic at all. we have not seen progress

between biden and xi up 'til now. i don't expect there will be much now. there is talk about some sort of agreement regarding fentanyl. well, xi and president trump made an agreement about it in 2019 and it got a lot of play, big deal, china is going to stop the shipment of fentanyl to the united states and nothing really happened. and it is kind of xi's m.o. to seem agreeable about something and then an agreement and then they never do it. so, i'll have to see it actually happen to change my mind about that. >> sandra: marie to you on that as well, and do you believe that the chinese threats to the united states will come up in these talks? i mean, there are so many we put them into a scrolling list. will they get anywhere with the top concerns out of the united states? >> well, i definitely expect president biden to raise these and many other issues. but just the fact that they are meeting and that it is going to

be what we have been told a lengthy meeting, addresses a number of issues, that's a good sign. there is enough chaos in the world, whether it's russia and ukraine, happening in the middle east, that we need this relationship to be on a calmer, much more normal footing. if they resume military to military communications links, for example, that's a good thing. we don't need miscommunications happening with the chinese over issues like taiwan. i do hope we get something on fentanyl, i think we will, byron is right, we need to make sure the chinese implement that, that's the goal here. but i also think the biden team will press china on the relationship with iran, to maybe use the relationship to pressure iran not to have their proxies, you know, start a wider conflict in the middle east and also press china on their relationship with russia. so a lot of business to get done. these are highly scripted meetings. i don't expect any big announcements but it's important they are sitting down for a

period of time, sandra. >> sandra: i ask that, we do have a series of times that biden and his officials have downplayed chinese threats. i want to get to breaking news right now, out of nbc after joe manchin announced last week he would not run for re-election, he is telling nbc he absolutely would consider a presidential run. i want to get your reaction to that, byron. adding that he first has to explore whether there's an appetite among voters for a moderate candidate like himself. thoughts? >> well, not surprised, waited kind of a decent interval of his announcement of not running. but listen, the times of ripe for a third party candidate. third party candidacies do not really succeed with you right now you have to many voters who do not want a joe biden-donald trump rematch. so many voters absolutely determined they do not want to vote for joe biden and they do not want to vote for donald

trump. that is the atmosphere in which a third party candidacy can flourish. robert f. kennedy, jr. doing well in three-way polls, even cornell west is pulling a bit of support. this drives the white house crazy because they think all of these things tend to make it harder for president biden to get re-elected. the simple situation, the number of voters double haters, they don't like biden, don't like trump, makes a third party really appealing. >> sandra: marie, said anything i will do to help the country, in response to a challenge whether he was considering this, he said every american should consider if they are in position to save the country, i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure to mobilize the moderate sensible common sense middle. so, is he the guy to do that, marie? >> well, i would argue that joe biden is actually a pretty moderate guy. he's giving more funding to

li, stanng by israel, inflation down again another indicator today. so, i think every senator thinks they should be president. joe manchin is no exception to that and i think we have seen if joe manchin or r.f.k., jr. or cornell west get on ballots they will take votes from joe biden. as a democrat, i think that is very disturbing. i think if manchin wants to help elect donald trump he should campaign for trump and not run himself. not surprised by this, but this, i want to be very clear, this is an effort that will hurt biden, period. full stop. >> sandra: manchin said i'm totally absolutely scared to death donald trump would become president again. byron, marie, great to see both of you. thank you for the conversation. >> thank you. >> john: we have been talking about the idf operation very targeted operation, idf says, inside the grounds of al-shifa hospital, the largest hospital in gaza. the idf releasing some new video

that we have for you here. while they have not -- that's the hospital. while they have not yet come across any hamas fighters inside the complex, they did engage them outside. they did come up with a small cache of weapons here, flack jackets, other materials with which the terrorists could wage a campaign. there it is all lined up by the idf. again, sandra, it's believed that hamas has its headquarters in this complex well underground. victoria coates was saying earlier in the hour that this was an old british barracks that has a fairly extensive basement to it, that she believes, and israel believes, hamas has greatly expanded into multiple level headquarters well below ground. very difficult to get to. >> sandra: operational command center, weapons, technological asset found in the mri building, the troops are continuing

precise and targeted operations against the hamas terrorist organization in that hospital. this is brand-new video, just in, the idf has released this showing clearly the weapons inside of that hospital. we are also told that the troops, the idf troops are continuing the targeted operations against hamas in the hospital complex, the troops are conducting searches for hamas terrorist infrastructure and assets, john. >> john: one of the caches of weapons was found in the mri room with the scanner right there, they were behind the scanner. i mean, clearly that's not -- that's a scanner that has not been used in a while, you would not want to keep something like ak-47s in a room while you were using the scanner. we have some weapons here there a couple of departments, including the mri department, getting underground is really going to be the tough part of the operation here. we are told that the idf is still inside the hospital grounds but all of this took

place on the surface, sandra, they have not yet gone below ground. we don't know how they are going to do that, it would be heavily fortified. >> sandra: reporting from the idf, soldiers entered the hospital complex, engaged with a number of terrorists and killed them, and they found a room with assets along with military and combat equipment used by the hamas terrorist group. another department in the hospital, john, soldiers located an operational command center and assets belonging to hamas, indicating the terrorist organization uses that hospital for terrorist purposes. this is brand-new video just in, john. >> john: an assessment backed up by the white house and pentagon as well and israel has made the point that hospitals are protected facilities unless they are being used by the hamas fighters. we'll see how it goes. it will continue to unfold in the days ahead.

thousands of earthquakes rattling iceland. scientists say the volcano could blow any day now. some people are now returning to the danger zone to grab belongings. the chance of eruption remains very high. bryan -- how did you pull that assignment, bryan? live in iceland. >> no idea, john. trying to figure that out. we are in the capital of iceland, about an hour north of the town that could unfortunately be the epicenter of this volcanic eruption. and what we are talking about here is what could be the largest volcanic eruption in iceland in some 50 years. and they say it is significantly likely, the scientists here say it could happen at any moment. we are talking about 1,000 earthquakes over the last 24 hours, usually there are just 60 earthquakes, you can see video of cracks in the road just seen around grenodik and we spoke

with a meteorologist, who said it's not just a volcano. it's a ten mile long area magna can try to find its way up in a fissure eruption. they don't know where it's going to happen along a ten mile stretch. listen. >> last summer, 23, we saw tremor about two hours prior to eruption, so we managed to forecast that one. but we won't have much more than 2 to 3 hours prior to the eruption. >> so the warning here is 2 to 3 hours prior to the eruption. >> yeah. >> wow. >> it could also happen without us noticing but we are hoping it will show the same signs as the last three eruptions. >> so there have been a full evacuation of grendovik, world famous for the blue hot springs

in the area. because of sulfur di oxide readings -- >> reading of so2 gas, indicate thad magna might be close to the surface, so everybody was evacuated an hour earlier than originally intended. yesterday, people were given five minutes to gather what they needed from their homes. >> so john, basically two worst case scenarios. one, eruption happens in the ocean, there could be a cloud of ash and smoke, we saw that in 2010, which caused flight delays as far as europe and the other worst case scenario, this happens right smack in the middle of grendovik and scientists tell us it could be the new normal in iceland, seismic activity happening moreover the years and decades. >> john: the world remembers 13

years ago when it blew its top, created problems for everybody. can't wait to see the pronunciation of this one. >> sandra: we are told president biden has arrived on-site, there to officially greet xi jinping in san francisco. we should have pictures of that shortly. so what can we realistically expect out of that meeting? we will ask chris christie, mark warner and steve daines. to find some relief. cosentyx works for me. cosentyx helps real people get real relief from the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis. serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions that look like eczema, and an increased risk of infections, some fatal, have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen.

what's happening? >> teachers want bigger paychecks, 23% raise over three years and smaller class sizes. they are also asking for more time for planning and more special education teachers. this first-ever strike in portland public schools has kept about 45,000 students out of the classroom for the entire month of november so far, and with the thanksgiving holiday coming up, depending on how the negotiations go, it's possible kids won't set foot in school for the rest of the month either. >> the potential impacts of this strike on student learning is really great and we will -- we don't want to see that increase those impacts increase anymore. >> in andover, massachusetts, students are back in the classroom after a five-day teacher strike. the union there was charged $50,000 fine because it's illegal in massachusetts for
