company, and there are serious national security concerns. the ban is set to go into effect on january 19th. that is the day before trump's inauguration, which the app's ceo is expected to attend. just today, the president-elect says he spoke with china's president and said tiktok was one of the things the two discussed. if tiktok goes dark, it will have a profound impact not just on pop culture, but also on creators and small businesses that rely on the app. cbs's chief legal correspondent jan crawford reports now on the ruling and what, if anything can save tiktok from going off-line. >> the end of tiktok, and what a run it has been. >> i'm kind of freaked out and i'm kind of sad. ♪ after everything i've done ♪ >> reporter: the justices recognize that for more than 170 million americans, tiktok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression but said that wasn't enough to overcome congress'

maintain what we have built so far. >> reporter: with users flocking to other platforms, a pair of chinese-owned or supported apps, rednote and lemon8, have taken over the top two spot on apple's app store though both could be subject to scrutiny, norah. >> norah: kelly o'grady thank you. the nation's capital right here is preparing for donald trump's inauguration on monday, but a polar vortex is forcing a major change to the plans, moving the ceremony indoors for the first time since ronald reagan's second inauguration 40 years ago. we get more now from cbs's ed o'keefe. >> reporter: after months of preparation... ♪ ♪ and weeks of rehearsals president-elect trump is now set to take the oath of office and address the nation in the capitol rotunda, rather than the traditional west front of the capitol. trump cited the arctic blast sweeping the country and said he doesn't want to see people hurt or injured in any way. just hours after the decision to move the inauguration indoors here in the rotunda, they are

already setting up the new platform where donald trump will be sworn in. instead of thousands of people watching outside, it'll just be a few hundred in here. the most important of those vips, members of congress former presidents, cabinet officials, and those visiting dignitaries from around the world. but trump supporters we met today, who traveled to washington for the event said outdoors would've been better. >> should dress warmly to come out because it is a historical event, and it should be outside i would think. >> i would stand in the 5-degree weather in order to support what he is going to do -- what he did in the past and what he is going to do in the future. >> reporter: moving it all indoors has happened before. exactly 40 years ago when temperatures for ronald reagan's second inaugural plunged to 7 degrees. >> president of the united states... >> reporter: as for security about 25,000 law-enforcement officers are already on hand. helicopters and drones will help

track crowds, but with 250,000 tickets for people on the national mall, there are new challenges. >> you have a lot of people that were hoping to watch this inauguration, physically present, who are no longer going to be able to do so, so there is a risk of mass gatherings in and around the inauguration site that was likely not going to be a factor when the inauguration was planned to be outdoors. >> reporter: moving the inauguration indoors means organizers are now planning to stage the inaugural parade's musical acts at a downtown washington arena. trump is already set to host a campaign-style rally sunday night. no matter the weather, come noon on monday, donald trump is set to be sworn in. norah? >> norah: a lot is changing ed o'keefe, thank you so much. just how cold is it going to be in the nation's capital on monday? cbs's lonnie quinn has the latest. good evening, lonnie? >> good evening to you, norah. it is going to be really cold. if we can close the window, you will see that it's pushing from our way and to canada, those are the temperatures below 0. so tomorrow morning you are

waking up in international falls and it is a cold one. it is 20 below 0 and international falls. that's going to be pushing to the northeast. now it will moderate so it will be 20 below and washington, d.c., but by the time it's inauguration day it starts off at 18 degrees in washington, d.c., with the windchill that's going to feel like 5-10, that's why everything got moved indoors. there is precipitation moving in the area. could be snow in washington, d.c. but watch what happens as we look ahead. i'm talking monday night going into tuesday is another system develops and for a place as far south as new orleans, we are looking at the chance for some accumulating snow. would not be much, but new orleans is not known for their snowfall, that's a very latest, norah. >> norah: lonnie quinn, thank you. president-elect trump revealed today that he spoke with china's president xi jinping on the phone today discussing not just tiktok but also trade and

fentanyl and other topics. cbs news chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "face the nation" margaret brennan is here. and, margaret, donald trump invited the communist leader to come to inauguration, but is he coming? >> margaret: he is not, but xi jinping is sending a special representative in his place his vice president, also a high-ranking chinese communist party official. it's highly unusual, not just because of protocol, but also because of the moment of time we are in. just today, the biden administration revealed that they have identified the hackers who not just breached the u.s. treasury but burrowed into nine different u.s. telecom companies to siphon up american phone call data, and we know that trump's own national security advisor mike waltz has said they planted cyber time bombs in u.s. infrastructure. >> norah: this is the chinese. >> margaret: the chinese. so this could be used in future conflict, and the u.s. can't get them out. >> norah: there also some other foreign leaders invited attending that are raising eyebrows, right? >> margaret: european diplomat said to me just yesterday it is

pretty disconcerting that two leaders of a german far-right anti-immigrant group known as the afd are attending. their leader has espoused nazi propaganda slogans. they have been condemned by their own government, but they will be attending the inauguration. >> norah: margaret brennan thank you so much. and we will be watching you sunday on "face the nation." and we will be here together monday for live coverage of donald trump's inauguration. that's beginning at 9:00 a.m. eastern on cbs. we hope you'll join us. want to turn now to the middle east. israel's government just approved the cease-fire and hostage release agreement with hamas. it is set to take effect this weekend, with the first hostage is going free on sunday. cbs's elizabeth palmer reports tonight from tel aviv. >> reporter: every day for 15 months, israeli military drones have been watching gaza. peering into every nook and cranny of this ruined landscape. but starting on sunday, for at least ten hours a day, that stops. >> the israelis will not be engaging in surveillance from the air, to enable the hamas people to come out, find the hostages. >> reporter: gershon baskin is an israeli analyst and former hostage negotiator.

and when you said hamas has to find them, what do you mean? >> they don't know where they are. they were scattered around the gaza strip, in houses and in tunnels, all around gaza, not in one place. >> reporter: also, they are being held by different militant groups, who now have to hand them over to hamas. a lot could go wrong with that. but there is an even bigger threat to this deal. >> israeli soldiers will encounter hamas combatants who are armed, and one side could shoot at the other or both sides could shoot at each other. one soldier can break the cease-fire. >> reporter: right now though, the cease-fire is due to start on sunday, with the first hostages walking free. israeli hospitals have readied special rooms for them to

receive care for extreme trauma. >> when the israeli public sees the condition of the hostages coming home, those who are alive, see how badly they are off, both mentally and physically, it is going to increase the pressure on the government to make sure that every hostage comes home. >> reporter: but not every hostage will come home alive. and the sad truth is that some may never be found at all. but by this time tomorrow, we should have the first three names of the hostages that hamas is going to let go, and also the names of almost 100 palestinian prisoners that israel will release from its jails in exchange. norah? >> norah: a lot coming. elizabeth palmer, thank you. the wildfires have caused l.a.'s housing shortage to go from bad to worse. that story when we come back. ♪ ♪ we come back. ♪ ♪ at story when we come back. ♪ ♪ and a grandmother of two. about five years ago, i was working full time, i had an awful lot of things to take care of.
