6:32 pm
sunday into monday. the vote was postponed when netanyahu accused hamas of reneging on part of the agreement. israeli officials now say the dispute has been worked out. the first phase of the deal includes a six-week cease-fire and a series of swaps of israeli hostages and palestinian prisoners. for now, the fighting continues, with israeli air strikes killing more than 80 people in the last 24 hours. that's according to hamas officials in gaza. once again, cbs's elizabeth palmer leads us off tonight from tel aviv. good evening, liz. >> reporter: good evening, norah. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been a really tight spot. he is under huge pressure to sign off on this deal, but if he does, he risks losing crucial support from right-wingers in his cabinet and then perhaps early elections. one thing is for sure, though, this delay has got a lot of people very rattled. pulled alive from the ruins of a house destroyed last night...
6:33 pm
[baby crying] this baby could be one of the last casualties of the war. but as morning dawned in gaza, even if there was still hope for a cease-fire on sunday, there was no certainty. ♪ ♪ in israel, too, there is anxiety that the deal may collapse before all or even any of the hostages can be freed. udi goren's cousin tal chaim was killed on october 7th. and hamas terrorists took his body into gaza. >> he deserves the respect of not having the body just rot away somewhere in gaza. >> reporter: goren became an activist, pressing israel's government to do whatever it took to get back all the hostages, living and dead. he fears this drawn-out deal with all its complexities could collapse at any stage. >> one of our biggest concerns is that once they start
6:34 pm
negotiating part 2, they will not reach an agreement. >> reporter: and it will all fall apart. >> fall apart, and that's it, and the deal ends in phase 1. >> reporter: and back to war. >> and back to war. >> reporter: that war is as much a threat to the hostages as it is to the people of gaza. they're all trapped in it, though now with a cease-fire just within reach. so i'm wondering whether tonight you're allowing yourself to feel hopeful. >> no. >> reporter: still not? >> no, absolutely not. we don't have a deal yet. we don't have a deal. it hasn't been signed. >> reporter: now, the government may sign off on that deal in the next couple of days, but that's when the hard part starts. as we've said, it's very complicated, and it is going to be fragile because israel and hamas have to implement it in lockstep, and norah, they have zero trust in one another. >> norah: liz palmer from tel aviv. thank you, liz. the stage is being set for trump's inauguration on monday, and the list of tech titans
6:35 pm

campaign appeared to change his mind. >> you know, i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok. >> reporter: now thetrump team is looking for ways to buy tiktok some time, with a u.s. ban on the app set to take effect this sunday. chew will be seated monday alongside other tech titans include tesla's elon musk, meta's mark zuckerberg,% and amazon's jeff bezos. those three alone have a combined net worth close to a trillion dollars. >> an oligarchy is taking shape in america... >> reporter: in his farewell address last night, president biden issued a warning about what he described as the tech industrial complex and the rich men who run it. >> and that's a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people. >> reporter: trump's pick for treasury secretary, scott bessent, who is a billionaire himself, was asked about that at his confirmation hearing today. >> when so few people have so much wealth and power, do you
6:37 pm
think that that is an oligarchic form of society? >> i think it depends on the ability to move up and down the income -- >> no, that's not really an answer. >> reporter: tiktok's fate is still up in the air tonight. some lawmakers are pushing to delay sunday's ban to give the company more time to find a u.s. buyer, and we are still watching to see whether the supreme court weighs in at trump's request. tomorrow would be their last day of work to do it, norah, before the ban goes into effect on sunday. >> norah: so many watching very closely. nancy cordes, thank you. we wanted to see firsthand where all those tech ceos, lawmakers, and former presidents will sit on monday, so we went to capitol hill for rare access to the inauguration platform and sat down with democratic senator amy klobuchar and republican senator deb fischer. they are members of the inauguration committee. >> it's kind of an unbelievable thing how many people come to this. there's people that have not missed one for, you know, ever.
6:38 pm
they keep coming back. >> norah: and this is where the president's platform -- >> as the president will stand here and make his inaugural address, this is what he'll see, except filled and filled with people. >> norah: so with less than a week out, what are you excited about? what are you fearful about? >> this has been long time in the making. this started before we knew who was going to win the presidency. we are going to see another peaceful transfer of power, which is what is so important to our country. you see former presidents of both political parties here, who may disagree with each other, obviously. this is a great democracy, and no matter if your party wins or loses, we respect that democracy. that's what this ceremony is about. >> it's just been fun to see this come together. this platform is constructed brand-new every four years. and that shows a new beginning. >> norah: how will security be different? >> that's a big issue,
6:39 pm
obviously, because we have seen not just threats but action taken against a president-elect. security adapts to these changes when they take place, when threats are out there. we have to put our faith in the capitol police and the secret service to be able to handle any situation that comes up. >> there have been major security reviews, obviously, since the assassination attempt, but also actually since four years ago, with the electoral college day, january 6th, and i think all of the security reviews that have been done, when mistakes have been made in the past -- not at this event, but at others -- will only contribute to better security. >> norah: senator, i mean, inauguration, celebration of a new president in a bipartisan fashion. what challenges, though, do you see are ahead for donald trump? >> well, there is major challenges for our country. the american people would like to see people work together. to me, our job is under the constitution.
6:40 pm
we have to protect and defend the constitution, and to me, that means sometimes we are going to stand our ground, and when we can, we find common ground. >> norah: cbs news will have extensive coverage of the presidential inauguration, starting monday at 9:00 a.m. eastern, right here on cbs and our streaming channel cbs news 24/7. we hope to see you. in los angeles today, some residents were allowed to return to areas that were evacuated by wildfires, but for others, it may be at least a week before they can see what's left of their homes. the two largest fires continue to burn, but fire crews are making progress. cbs's rob marciano went along with a team of fire officials assessing the damage. >> reporter: thousands of structures have been damaged or completely destroyed by the firestorm. now comes the arduous task of making sure these fire-ravaged communities are safe, as residents and business owners start to return to survey what's left, if anything is left.
6:41 pm
>> the properties have been damaged beyond belief. they are full of sediment, debris, silt, and hazardous materials. >> reporter: pesticide, fuel, and lithium batteries need to be removed. utility companies are also working on power and gas lines. these workers are digging down to get to the gas line. they need to shut it down, seal it off, so it's safe for residents to come back. and this has to happen in neighborhoods throughout the fire zone. altadena homeowner aaron lubeley has already seen his home. >> you know, you stand there staring, like, how am i going to tell my kids that everything is gone? and why didn't god answer my prayers and do this to me? >> reporter: but many are enduring an agonizing wait, relying on information passed down from damage inspection specialists. >> i'll take a photo... >> reporter: natasha fouts is among 145 specialists working in teams of two, assessing up to 40 homes a day. >> if it's destroyed and if it is damaged, then we'll mark it. >> reporter: the data fouts gathers is verified and sent to
6:42 pm
local officials, and that info is then used by aid organizations like the red cross and fema to determine who needs money and housing right away. it also allows residents to start insurance claims remotely. what you do is very important to a lot of people -- >> it is. >> reporter: does that weigh on you when you're walking around somebody's property? >> it does. sometimes the hardest part is just not knowing if you have a home to come down to, so getting that information out to people i think is really important so that they just know either way. >> reporter: so many people working so hard to get these residents what they need for next steps. those inspection teams have now assessed 44% of the properties already. on the weather front, the winds have shifted to more onshore -- that's more favorable -- and it should remain that way through the weekend. norah? >> norah: ron marciano, thank you so much. cancer rates are up among women and young adults. we'll discuss why with dr. jon lapook when we return. h dr. jon lapook when we return. ♪ ♪

6:46 pm
so what are some of the things, though, that people can do now to further lower the odds of getting cancer? >> reporter: well, you know, the details of your family history are a really good place to start. if your mom had "stomach cancer," was it really from the stomach? or could it have been colon or even ovarian, which would totally change the approach to screening? so try to get medical records whenever possible. cervical cancer is preventable with the hpv vaccine, but less than 40% of eligible children got it in 2022. but by far the number one modifiable risk factor is smoking, which accounts for about 30% of all cancer deaths. >> norah: well, it's interesting that you mention that, because the report today says that lung cancer is still the number one cause of cancer deaths, so if you are a current or a former smoker, is there a way to screen for cancer of the lung? >> reporter: you know, there is. a government task force recommends annual low-dose ct scan for people 50 to 80 who smoked at least the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years and either currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years,
6:47 pm
but less than 20% of those eligible are actually screened, and a study found less than half of primary care providers -- less than half -- were aware of the recommendation. so this is an example, a perfect example of how important it is for patients to educate and empower themselves so they can bring up these kinds of questions with their care provider. >> norah: such good information. get screened if you can. dr. lapook, thank you so much.
