with that said, with the deadline hours away, some users are savoring their final scrolls while others flock to another chinese app in protest. this morning, tiktok warning it will shut down for its more than 170 million users in less than 24 hours putting pressure on the white house to intervene. in a statement overnight, the company saying, unless the biden administration immediately provides a definitive statement that it won't enforce the ban that takes effect by law on sunday, tiktok will be forced to go dark on january 19th. >> what am i supposed to do? >> thank you for saving my life and changing my life, tiktok. >> reporter: tiktok's threat to shut down comes after the supreme court sided with the federal government's national security concerns and not the company's free speech claims, citing tiktok's data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary. if tiktok doesn't cut ties with its china-based parent company, bytedance, it could be blocked with fines for app stores and internet service providers of up to $5,000 per user with tiktok

trump for his commitment. this is a strong stand for the first amendment and against arbitrary censorship. >> reporter: and a white house official telling abc news that the administration has already made things clear, gone to extraordinary lengths to communicate its position stating that this will all be up to the trump administration to implement and enforce the law. >> gio: okay, so we saw tiktok's ceo thanking trump. we know trump has invited the ceo to the inauguration, but realistically what can trump do in this situation? >> certainly, gio, the president president does have some influence. he may try to get tiktok to broker some sort of deal to change hands. remember, they want to try to force the sale. that's been the government's issue here, but even if that does happen, if china approves all of that, that is also a major sticking point and a tension point here. the way we experience tiktok will certainly change. i mean, the national security concerns lies within that data-driven algorithm. that's going to have to be overhauled, so you're going to have a new algorithm and certainly a new app.

>> gio: less than 24 hours to go, we'll see what happens. morgan, thank you. >> janai: widespread impacts. >> whit: thank you. just days before president-elect donald trump's inauguration, brutal cold is forcing the ceremony indoors for the first time since 1985. workers now scrambling to prepare the capitol rotunda. our white house correspondent maryalice parks joins us with the big changes. and, maryalice, what can we expect? >> reporter: yeah, whit, it's hard to believe that inauguration weekend is here. it's been months of planning and security preparations. they actually start building the platforms around town before the election, but now a major scramble after that decision to move the events inside to a space that can only fit a fraction of the vip guests. this morning, just 48 hours until donald trump's second inauguration, last-minute changes and a major scramble in washington, d.c. the president-elect now choosing to move his ceremonies inside citing the arctic blast set to hit the nation's capital monday. a forecasted high of 23 degrees in washington with the windchill

for much of the day, it will feel like 7 degrees. "i don't want to see people hurt or injured in any way," trump writing on truth social, "therefore, i ordered the inauguration address in order to prayers and other speeches to be delivered in the united states capitol rotunda." the last indoor inauguration, 40 years ago. in 1985 ronald reagan was sworn into his second term in the rotunda. >> so help me god. >> reporter: the temperature then just 7 degrees. the coldest inauguration since, back in 2009, barack obama taking the oath in 28-degree weather. >> congratulations, mr. president. >> reporter: the joint congressional inaugural committee acknowledging the vast majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person in the new location. no traditional parade down pennsylvania avenue. instead, many festivities moved inside te capital one arena. and overnight, scenes of the transition from the state department to the justice department to the pentagon, biden cabinet officials saying

their farewells with staffs cheering their good-byes. as trump's nominees wrapped a busy week of senate confirmation hearings, south dakota governor kristi noem nominated to be the next secretary of homeland security facing tough questions about his promises over mass deportations and separating families promising to make good on trump's hard-line immigration proposals. >> if confirmed as secretary, i'll ensure that our exceptional extraordinary border patrol agents have all the tools and resources and support that they need to carry out their mission. >> reporter: on immigration and mass deportation, other members of trump's incoming team have promised the last few days that people should expect big raids across the country to begin as soon as tuesday. whit? >> whit: all right, maryalice parks, thank you. and some of the world's richest people will be at trump's inauguration including facebook founder, mark zuckerberg. former trump adviser steve bannon sees that as a major victory for trump as he told our chief washington correspondent

jonathan karl in an interview for "this week" airing tomorrow. take a look. >> but, but, as soon as zuckerberg said i've been invited, i'm going, the floodgates opened up, and they were all trying to be supplicant. so i look at this and i think most people in our movement look at this as president trump broke the oligarchs. he broke them, and they surrendered. oh, we'll take off any constraints. there will be no more checking, anything. trump said, i view this september of 1945, "the missouri," and you have the imperial high command. >> imperial japanese. >> and he's like douglas mcarthur. that is an official surrender, okay, and i think it's powerful. >> whit: and you'll be able to see more from jonathan karl's with steve bannon tomorrow on "this week." janai? >> janai: a lot to look forward to there. turning overseas now to the cease-fire deal between israel and hamas. the israeli cabinet approving

the agreement overnight, now set to begin tomorrow morning at 1:30 a.m. eastern time. abc news foreign correspondent tom soufi burridge is in jerusalem with the very latest. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, janai. we're now just hours away from that cease-fire kicking in in gaza. shortly after that, the first israeli hostage will be released in the first phase of this historic deal with israel set to free nearly 2,000 palestinians from its prisons in return for 33 israelis including all remaining female and child hostages, nonmilitary men over 50 and the wounded and sick. amongst that group, two americans. this morning amid continuing desperation for food in gaza, israel now saying the initial six-week cease-fire will take effect in the early hours of sunday morning local time. overnight, a dramatic seven-hour meeting in which some israeli ministers opposed the deal, but israel's government finally signing it off. in a document released this morning, israel now confirming it will release more than 700 palestinians held in israeli prisons including some convicted

of serious crimes. as part of the deal, israel will also free an additional 1,100 gazans who didn't participate in the october 7th terror attack but were being held by israel without charge. tomorrow just hours after the cease-fire kicks in, the first three living female israeli hostages are set to be freed by hamas. in exchange for an initial group of palestinians, 95 mainly female detainees. a further 33 israeli hostages including 2 americans, keith siegel and sagui dekel-chen, are set to be released in phases throughout the next six weeks, but the remaining 65 hostages in gaza, a number of which are thought to be dead, will only be returned to israel if the pause in fighting can be turned into a permanent truce. israel now preparing three reception centers for the hostages along the gaza border, and nearby in egypt, eight

aid trucks lined up ready to head into the strip once the cease-fire begins. for now israel still striking gaza. more than 120 people killed since the deal was announced on wednesday night according to gazan officials linked to hamas. guys, if we needed a reminder of how fragile the situation remains, we could hear aid raid sirens in the distance at interceptions this morning. the idf saying it shot down a missile launched from yemen, afternoon and even though we're counting down the hours of the cease-fire, families of some of the hostages telling us they'll only know it's real when they get to see their loved ones in the flesh, janai. >> janai: and that's exactly what i want to ask you about tom, because you mentioned that the first israeli hostages will be released in the first phase but you have more details about the timing of the release. >> reporter: yeah, sure. the cease-fire in gaza is set to begin at 1:30 a.m. eastern time tomorrow. the first three israeli hostages are then due to be released at

9:00 a.m. eastern, and then dozens of palestinians should be freed in the hours beyond that, but, of course, this is just phase 1 of the deal, and it will be phased over six weeks, and there's really no guarantee the next stages and a permanent cease-fire will really happen. janai? >> janai: so many families holding their breath, tom, thank you. whit? >> whit: janai, now to the race against the clock in southern california. thousands of firefighters hoping to make more progress against those fires before the winds return next week as some residents are finally getting to see what's left of their homes. melissa adan joins us from altadena now. melissa, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. in these destroyed communities, crews are still searching through the fire damage as more than a dozen people are still reported missing, this ahead of another round of santa ana winds in our forecast. this morning, the long road to recovery as more and more californians return to what is left of their communities amid lifting evacuation orders. >> doing a lot of ash cleanup.

there's ash on the roof. there's ash in the driveway, all in the yard. >> reporter: more than a week after the eaton and palisades fires broke out, firefighters making progress on the blazes that left 27 dead and more than a dozen still missing. the eaton fire now 65% contained while the palisades fire only 39% contained ahead of another round of high winds next week. >> the interior of the fire that's still left has a tremendous amount of damage. it's going to be a tough task, but we've got all the people we need here on site. >> reporter: the focus now shifting to rebuilding efforts. destruction stretching out as far as the eye can see. the fires damaging or destroying at least 12,000 structures. in hard-hit altadena thousands of families have lost their homes. one family telling me while their home of 30 years is gone they're clinging to signs of hope. you see this lemon tree here, it's still standing.

it was planted by their late father. >> i feel like it's a sign. >> right. >> from him, from god. we're rebuilding, we're not selling. >> reporter: angelica de la torre is part of the 58,000 people applying for federal aid. fema approving more than $16 million showing how dire the need is. >> financially how hard is this for you and so many? >> it's extremely hard. i just -- i was working part time before this, and i was -- i just got my license for aesthetics, and everything that i bought for the last year for my new career went down in that house. >> reporter: in altadena this mural and these crosses put up to honor the victims of the fire. each cross representing a life that was lost. it's been touching to see the communities of altadena and the pacific palisades coming together. this as the de la torre family wants to ensure they'll rebuild no matter how long or how hard the journey is but want to make sure whether it be one month, three month, even a year from today that they are not forgotten. guys.

>> janai: and, melissa, that is one of the most remarkable things that so many are vowing to rebuild those same communities. melissa, thank you for telling those stories. now, we are going to talk about spacex, the starship explosion. the faa and officials in turks and caicos are investigating reports of property damage after debris from that starship explosion fell over the island. gio, as our transportation correspondent, of course, you know a lot about this. what is going on here? >> gio: so, janai, the faa has now grounded starship launches until they investigate what actually caused this explosion. so take a look at this. this was the seventh launch for starship. about 8 1/2 minutes after liftoff, the vehicle just exploded. look at that. >> janai: whoa. >> gio: these images were captured by someone watching from the bahamas. the stunning aftermath could be seen by passengers on a plane. one of them recording this right here, unbelievable. the captain telling them all to look out the window. the same flight to miami was rerouted to avoid the debris. other flights were also diverted. now, there are no reports of

injuries, thank goodness, but the faa is working with spacex and local authorities in the turks and caicos to confirm reports of property damage. so we're watching that. spacex says that initial data shows that a fire developed in the aft section leading to that explosion but that it will conduct a full investigation in coordination with the faa. now, spacex also says, quote, success comes from what we learn, and this flight test will help us improve starship's reliability as spacex seeks to make life multi-planetary. now, the faa will wait until the investigation is over before it allows spacex to launch starship again. it's important to remember, guys, elon musk does not see this as a failure. he can afford to test and test and test, even if that means explosions, because from these explosions, that's how you catch these mistakes to hopefully avoid any tragedy once you put humans on board. >> janai: but there are passengers who saw this from an airplane. how dangerous could that have been? >> gio: well, they say that they chose a specific path to avoid anyone and sort of avoid any

land mass. that's what spacex says, and that's what they try to do with these launches, but no doubt about it, the video is pretty clear, you could see it. >> whit: if you didn't know what you were looking at, you might be quite alarmed. thank you for that. we turn to efforts to lower the price of popular prescription drugs. just days before leaving office president biden expanded the list of medications to be negotiated by medicare including ozempic and wegovy. alexis christoforous is here now with the details. alexis, good morning to you. >> good morning, whit. two drugs at the heart of the weight loss boom, ozempic and wegovy, are among the 15 medications whose prices will now be negotiated directly between medicare and the drugmakers. it's the second round of drug price negotiations under president biden's inflation reduction act, which is meant to make expensive drugs more affordable for seniors. more than 5 million people with medicare part d coverage use these drugs to treat conditions such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and asthma.

in one of his final appearances as president, biden on friday touted last year's price negotiations, which lowered prices for ten popular drugs. an industry group representing the drugmakers calls the negotiations price setting, warning they'll kill innovation. some employers and insurers don't cover certain drugs because they're so expensive. without insurance, for example, a single ozempic injection costs just under a thousand dollars while wegovy has a list price of over 1,300 for a 28-day supply. medicare only covers ozempic and wegovy for diabetes and heart disease, but they still cost the program about $7.5 billion. now, the possible lower negotiated prices will take effect in 2027. the incoming trump administration will now oversee these talks, and while president-elect trump has said he wants to lower drug prices for americans, he hasn't said how he'll handle these price negotiations. guys? >> gio: yeah, and that is the medication that everyone is talking about right now. alexis, thank you for that. time now for the weather,

somara theodore is here. dangerous cold you've got there. >> somara: oh, this is bitter cold, my friends. in fact, we haven't seen the likes of this for a lot of the country in at least two years, so get those winter coats out and ready. we have extreme cold warnings in bismarck, duluth and for pittsburgh extreme warnings for cold. there are some areas in the plains that could feel like 50 degrees below zero, and houston headed to work on wednesday morning, it's going to feel like 13 degrees for you. that's how far south the cold is reaching. i'm happy that they're moving the inauguration indoors on monday, because it's going to feel like single digits in washington, d.c., on monday. accompanying this cold will be snow for the northeast. take a look at this. sunday afternoon into monday morning, we have the system bringing snow to the i-95 corridor. this could be the biggest snowstorm new york city has seen in three years, several inches of snow there, and you know just in case you were planning on heading to the game in philadelphia, the rams are taking on the eagles. kickoff at 3:00 p.m. temperatures will feel like 19 degrees out there, and you all will be in the thick of that snow. that's a look at the forecast.

>> somara: and that's a look at your local forecast. this cold is no joke. >> janai: it is not. i feel -- i am not wearing sleeves, but i agree the cold is no joke. >> whit: you're tough. >> janai: thank you so much, somara. still coming up here on "gma," socal strong, the abc helicopter pilot and reporter who was the first to spot the sunset fire tells us his story. >> gio: just incredible.

morning. robin and michael were there in los angeles hearing so many stories from survivors, first responders, telling us about the devastation out there. the heroism and the incredible resilience of the people there touched aloe blacc. his children, they lost their school to the fire. so many families impacted. >> gio: so many families impacted, and on friday we announced several major donations to local charities, but since then, so many of you at home have been amount adds up. look at that number. right now we have raised $6,821,400, getting closer and closer to that 7 million mark, and you can still help. so, to learn more about how to contribute, just point your phone camera right there. you see the qr code. point your camera there, and you'll get the information. >> whit: yes, you at home can help us raise that number, you know, and raise people up there, of course, we also want to tip our hats to our colleagues and our l.a. station kabc for their tireless coverage.

so many of them impacted by this too, friends of ours who had to evacuate, and helicopter pilot and reporter chris cristi was the first to spot the fire that breck out in the hollywood hills and to sound the alarm. take a look. >> mark, very concerning site here in the hollywood hills. >> i saw a speck off into the distance in hollywood. it was suspicious, but we hadn't read of reports of any fires in that area. >> we saw the glow coming from over the hill, and just in the last couple of minutes that it took us to get here to hollywood this thing has exploded in size. >> and when we got there, the winds were really ripping through runyon canyon. it was really scary. >> we saw this fire i think before l.a. city fire got the call. they have been dispatched out here. they're putting their eyes on this fire for the first time right now as we are doing so at the same time. >> once i saw the fire in the canyon and the rate of spread, i knew that there were a lot of people that were in danger. right away, it was a race against the clock.

>> look at this. it's already spotting. open up now to the left. >> i remember i went from reporting exactly what i was seeing to feeling an urgent need to warn everybody in that neighborhood immediately there really was not much time. >> if you live on curson avenue, curson place, curson terrace it's time to evacuate now. stanley avenue, bonita avenue, vista street, it is time to evacuate now. this fire is just about 100 feet from the end of curson avenue. >> i really genuinely thought hollywood might be gone. every second counts in a situation like that, so i'm glad we were there to let everybody know what was going on. it's been an interesting week as we fly over and start surveying the damage. we've been the first eyes over some of this area that's been affected. you don't really grasp it until you see it from the air. miles and miles of ash and

(vo) ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. >> gio: we are back with 2025 >> gio: all right, we are back now with 2025 travel. is it the year that you're going on that big trip? yes, janai, you are. >> janai: yes, yes. >> gio: travel expert katy nastro, a travel expert, is looking into her crystal ball with her travel predictions for 2025. good morning, katie. >> good morning. >> janai: how are you? >> gio: these canceled flights are not in realtime. >> no. we're projecting.

>> gio: everyone was saying these flights are getting more and more expensive, right? >> yes. >> gio: what do we see for 2025? >> unfortunately, i am bearing bad news when it comes to the average price of airfare. average price of airfare has been in an upward trend, and unfortunately we expect that to continue. we're not anticipating june 2022 when it went sky high due to all that revenge travel. we've sort of come back from that, but it is on a plane of going forward in the terms of upwards. >> whit: okay. >> so, unfortunately, that is the bad news. but on the flip side, while you can't control whether airfare rises or falls, as a traveler, you can control when you're booking. taking advantage of goldilocks windows, not too early, not too late, somewhere right in that middle. setting up price alerts on google flights or elsewhere and taking advantage of price drops, as well as if you can, try to travel in a low or shoulder season to take advantage of affordability as well as less crowds. >> whit: with all that in mind, what's the best deals on flights right now?

>> get in there. drum erielle -- roll, please. so our flight team found some spicy deals for y'all to take advantage of low season. so, january and february, right now you can go from seattle out to vegas for only $97 round trip on a full service airline, that's right. you can escape this gray weather we're having in new york, and you can head to grand cayman for 246 and go from san francisco out to barcelona for 438. >> gio: that's a long flight. >> it's a long flight, but -- >> janai: for that, that's great. >> as well as the residents of barcelona will definitely be happy. yes. as well as drum roll, this is actually my favorite. you can go from detroit to brisbane, australia, for $684. that's 55% off. >> gio: that's crazy. >> janai: wait. that's worth flying to detroit to get the deal for. >> right, right, and you know the dollar goes further due to the exchange rate, so this is the time to take that big ticket trip down under. >> janai: okay, and real quick, those flight cancellations may

not be real, but there is a lot of treacherous weather coming up. we're talking about it tomorrow. i had to change my mom's flight. you have a flight in danger. what do we know about how the transportation department is fining airlines for chronically late flights? >> yes, i mean, that is good. they're definitely peeking behind the curtain on that. but, you know, we're going into this year with cautious optimism. the last sort of ten months of 2024, the last ten months in general have really seen a below average cancellation rate by the airlines. they're taking what they can within their control and managing them enough, these flight disruptions, to be just cancellations. and delays, you know, while they're annoying, they're far easier to deal with as a traveler. so below cancellation rate, we're cautiously optimistic this will continue into 2025 for travelers. >> janai: and you're headed to? >> cape town. >> janai: cape town. have the best time. oh, my goodness. love that you take advantage of good deals. still coming up on "good morning america," our guy, coach herm edwards, he is in the building to break down today's nfl matchups. stick around.

>> whit: we've been waiting for this morning for months. we are back now with our buddy, our friend, espn nfl analyst coach herm edwards is here with us in studio for the first time. [ applause ] >> janai: you guys clap. yeah, yeah. >> whit: starting in just a few hours. love it. looking fresh as always. >> and we have some awards to give out here. >> whit: we're going to get to dha in just a bit, but we're looking forward to where that is going. but, coach, let's talk about the big games. we have two today. one of the big matchups, the chiefs and the texans. chiefs looking for the three-peat here. weather is going to be in the 20s, but patrick mahomes hasn't played for awhile. how do you see this one playing

out? >> well, i see a third down being an issue for both teams. you think about kansas city, they're the number one team on third down. now, houston is number one defensively on third down. they're going to have to get off the field, because when you think about the texans, they don't have enough explosive players on offense right now. a bunch of receivers got hurt. we know one thing in the playoffs, kelce shows up. think about kelce. 165 catches in playoff play. 19 touchdowns. he's a problem. he always seems like he's hibernating during the season, where's kelce. and all of a sudden the playoffs show up and he shows out. >> whit: as a niners fan i'm aware of that, unfortunately. >> and, as you mentioned, the kansas city chiefs are trying to do something very unique, win three super bowls. you can't count them out, they're at home. >> whit: yep, yep. >> janai: all right. another cold one today will be the commanders versus the lions. so, the lions, they have been dominant this season, but the commanders, they've got your guy, jayden daniels, who you schooled us is no longer considered a rookie because of how many games he started.

and, i know. he's been really impressive. what are the keys to success here? >> well, i think if you're washington you're concerned with the run game of the lions, because they can pound the football and really take the ball away from jayden daniels because of the possession time they have in the game. if you're washington, on the other side of it, you're looking at this team and going, you're hoping they bring pressure. because the one thing jayden daniels can do, he can run and that's a problem. he almost has a thousand yards rushing. that kind of geese under the radar. he's an excellent passer. the game is not going to be too big for him. we saw that last week in the playoff game. he has the ball in the last possession and had the ball and goes right down the field and wins the game. i think if you're a lion fan, you realize you're playing an opponent that is dangerous, but the lions are playing at home, and they got a big offensive line that can control the game. >> gio: all right, so on saturdays here on "gma," our viewers know we've had this whole who's with herm series us. and the last one all of us got a point except whit.

you remember all that smack talk when he chose the vikings? >> i thought i -- i took the rams. >> janai: wow. >> i took the rams. >> whit: you took the rams. i took the vikings, and i lost. >> janai: naturally. >> whit: but i knew i had this running room. >> you did. you did. >> gio: you have the final tally. >> i'm a poor sport, so you name off the tally who won what. >> janai: you play for what? >> you play to win the game. >> gio: here we go. whit had 14. janai had 13. i had a good even -- look at that pretty number 8 right there. you had 12. >> janai: oh, my gosh. >> i had 12. >> gio: oh, my gosh. he's got the crown. >> we should have took it to the playoffs. i could have caught up if we were in the playoffs. but now i got to give you this trophy and humbly -- no, you sit. i'll walk over. >> janai: it actually says "gma" champion. >> whit: it does. >> the trophy. >> janai: wait. who got second place? >> you get second place because -- you get reese's cups.
