israeli officials say there will be no hostages released or a pause in the military campaign at least friday. there are 150 palestinians detained by israel. we have the latest. >> in the hours leading up to temporary peace, there is intensified war. israeli jets bombed several targets across gaza today. when the bombing began, some were praying in a mosque. >> this is an entirely residential area. they bombed it completely. the ones who were in these homes were children and young people finding safety. >> in northern gaza, israeli soldiers worry and alleyways and inside buildings. this is fighting on the home

turf of hamas. there was an operation on a hamas outpost. in a school filled with rocket launchers. >> i am going to tunnel just below. >> the idf escorted journalists through extensive tunnels beneath a hospital that hamas used to move and fight. the fighting will pause no earlier than friday. hamas promises to release a dozen women and children every day for a total of 50. israel will hold fire for an additional day. israel promises to released 35 palestinians currently in detention every day for 150 total. a senior administration official said this round was supposed to

have all 98 kidnapped women and children, but hamas could only offer 50. jake sullivan told us this today. >> other militant groups, even potentially criminal organizations, are holding some of the hostages and hamas is working to ensure that it can deliver on its bargain. >> there remains tension in israel, i desire to see through the military operation and its goal of the complete destruction of hamas and fulfilling the jewish saying, saving one life is like saving an entire world. >> whatever number of people who will come back, we are agreeing to everything. children, mothers, elders, soldiers, everybody >>. some politicians oppose holding fire at all. some israelis who have lost family in previous terrorist attacks say this is a threat.

>> what comes up in today's apparent deal is that 200 terrorists will be released back to jerusalem. this means they will roam the streets and intensify the terror to levels that i do not know we can tolerate. >> i want to be clear, the war was continuing. we will work until we achieve all of our goals. >> this family is hoping their teenage son is on the list of released prisoners. >> i wish all the prisoners would be released. and women and children. >> the deal will allow humanitarian aid trucks to enter gaza each day.

a pause in the fighting cannot come soon enough for son. >> we want a humanitarian cease-fire. we want a full cease fire. >> this was a day of aspiration. 47 days of waiting. yamiche: the white house played a key role in negotiating the deal. welcome back. >> thank you so much for having me. >> what can you tell us about who will be in this group? >> we do not know who exactly will be in his first group. we know there are three americans that we expect to be

in this installment of 50. we just don't know when they will be coming out. we hope they will be among them. >> there are nine american citizens and one green card holder that is missing. what we know about their status? >> we do not know a lot. there are 10 total that we are attracting. we don't know how many are all in that hostage pool. we believe there are more americans being held hostage. up to 10 total. we just do not know where they are.

we do not have information about what condition they are in. we are doing the best we can to get information. the focus on this first negotiation will be women and children. >> as he mention, the hostages are expected to be released? >> we will start to see the first hostages move. that will be announced. the hostages will start to move. we are looking at hopefully 700 trucks of food, water, and

medicine, and fuel to be >> >> used. israel has said if there are more hostages use, they will pause the fighting for another 24 hours. is that something the u.s. wants? >> the pause could be a stick -- extended. i don't know if we can say indefinitely. that would be a good thing. if we can get more hostages out. we want to get all of hostages out. the focus is on implementing the deal for us.

>> what is the plan for this humanitarian aid getting into gaza and into the hands of civilians who needed the most. >> we are working with relief agencies. over the course of this pause. we are getting them racked and stacked so if we can get this pause in place, and we are all waiting for it, those trucks can be ready to roll through the crossing. before the war started, about 500 trucks a day were going through. now it is a combat zone so it is a little difficult to get that level up there. we fell short a few days.

if this deal isn't limited by all sides, we can get several hundred trucks in over the next number of days. >> are the concerns that hamas will use the pause and fighting to regroup and reorient for a potential fight to come? >> that is always a concern when you are dealing with a terrorist group like this. that is why this negotiation does not come at a risk. there might be a concern that hamas will use that time. that is why we are not in favor of a permanent cease-fire. that does benefit hamas. it allows them additional time and breathing space to prepare

and plan for other attacks. >> does this deal provide a framework for future agreements? >> it could. we are focused on the deal in front of us. the president was personally engaged in brokering this deal. can open up other? -- opportunities we hope so. >> your focus is on the here and now. what is the plan for the day after this pause lifts? >> we have to see where we are. i wish we could answer that question. it is difficult to put us into the future. we want to see more hostages come out. if there is a willingness on

both sides to extend the pause, that would be a great thing. we would certainly be in favor of that. i don't want to be ahead of that. it is really important to all of this. we know it is important to the families out there. that this gets implemented well. ♪ >> in the days other headlines, a vehicle exploded on the u.s. side of the border with canada at niagara falls, killing two people and disrupting travel. it happened that the rainbow bridge across the niagara river. other border closings work closed while it was investigated.

using their hiring of him and his executive team as a kind of bargaining chip to basically keep open i i -- openai alive. a lot of investors have a lot of money tied up in it. they would have rather used an independent openai in partnership with microsoft rather than use microsoft. essentially it was a are getting negotiation between the small board of directors and his allies. we will see what the board looks like in the future as they start to expand. >> what can you tell us about this new board? its current members and how the vision aligns? >> one of the big sticking

points that didn't get done over the weekend was the composition of the board. some of the criticisms were it was being slowly whittled down. the new board, one person remains. a former facebook employee. he was the person trying to rein in sam altman for not being consist candid. that is the reason they fired him. another longtime facebook and silicon valley executive is seen as pretty neutral and respectable. as well as larry summers, the former treasury secretary of the u.s. someone who actually sits on a number of other tech company boards. he has a real deep interest in ai and how it will affect jobs across the world. >> when we spoke on monday,

you've framed this fight between safety and the acceleration of technology. now where do we stand? what does this all mean for the broader sector? >> the fight continues as far as what we have been talking about. there are acceleration us -- accelerationists who want to push the tech forward as soon as possible. and then there are the folks who are essentially like slow this down and keep it safe. i think the newly reformed board , which will expand in the days ahead, will probably be or balanced and in favor of checks and balances that were not necessarily their before. altman plays fast and loose with safety, according to his critics. they do not want this ever happen again.

a revolt by employees. >> i have to say, i did that exceed -- expected fight -- talk to you twice in one week. but i appreciate the opportunity. ♪ we are going to shift our focus now to gun violence in america. the fraught question about whether the news media should show graphic images of the carnage it causes. the supporting the images conceal the horror of the violence? or does showing them cause further trauma to people who have suffered so much. >> last week, the washington post came into this debate and published images of the damage caused by ar-15 xi weapons. we will show a few of them in a moment. please be warned that they are

very hard to look at. the series is called terror on repeat and includes never before . how this punched clean through a metal door where 21 were murdered. or how it can spray countless bullets across a church in texas where 26 people were killed. the images get worse. the corner of the classroom at robb elementary were wounded teachers and students waited for help. in las vegas, the dead and wounded lying on a concert field. 60 people were killed that night. the last image in the series shows some of the victims in uvalde gathered in a hallway, waited to be carried away. she is the managing editor at a washington post. she oversaw up this project. thank you so much for being here. extremely difficult reporting

that you have done. there ae more images in this series and a great deal of testimony from people who survived. can you help us understand a little bit the decision you made to publish these? >> thank you so much for having these. we have examined the role of ar-15 in america. in the spring, we did a piece that looks through illustrations of the impact of the ar-15 on the human body. that was a piece we managed very carefully. we consulted the family member of victims. we wanted to make sure that process we did not cause more harm. we wanted to illustrate the very specific destructive force of this weapon. direction we got to this piece prompted us to have further conversations. many of the public said we should be going further. that we were sanitizing the impact on the body and they wanted us to do more.

that spurred a series of conversations we have been having. really wrestling with what we owed the readers on the impact of this weapon. when mass shootings are on track to hit record numbers in the u.s. we are balancing that public service mission to really help people understand is very real challenge with the desire to minimize harm as much as we could. to make sure we were sensitive to family members and survivors. >> is it your sense that the american population does not fully appreciate what these weapons, which were designed for the military, what they really do. >> one of the things that became very clear in reporting this series was there was a small group of americans that have a unique window into the destruction caused by these guns. their victims and family members. they said what they thought was

indescribable. it will affect them for the rest of their lives. journalists do not have access to the scenes. many of the crime scene photos are kept private. what the public usually sees are the iconic images of crime scene tape and then the memorials. we thought there was more to explore. what damage was really caused. >> we had a conversation with a mother who lost her daughter in the aurora massacre a decade ago. she is very pro-cracking down on these weapons. she has spoken very viscerally about what that did to her daughter physically. but she did not like this idea of images of identifiable people

getting out there. i want to play a tiny bit of what she had to say. >> they can go online and see what these guns due to a watermelon. how it explodes a watermelon. you can see the damage that it does to a dear. they are not privileged to see what they did to my daughter. i do not want that image ever to be out there. is that something that we as a society really want to do to the families who have already lost so much? have had so much taken from them? i hope not. >> i should clarify, you did not show images of any readily identifiable individuals. what do you make of that sentiment? that having these kinds of images out there can read traumatized people? >> that is something we took

incredible he seriously. we had conversations with dozens of family members in the course of reporting this story. some thought it would wake the public up. others thought it would be very traumatizing and dehumanizing. we made a decision and are reporting very early on that if we were going to show any identifiable bodies, we would only do that with the full consent of family members. we decided it was not very for the public get a full scope of the destruction left by these weapons. some of the power of the images in this piece is what is absent in what you see in the aftermath of what happens after bodies are carried out of the room. we try as much as possible to weigh how much we needed to put in the story against the effort that families do not feel traumatized by this. there are a couple of other steps to note. we went through a process of

notifying survivor communities in all 11 cities where these mass shootings took place. days in advance to try to make sure we could spread the word as wide as possible. that this could be something very difficult to see if you or someone you love has been in a mass shooting. we wanted to give people a chance to avoid it if they did not want to see it. they built in very specific warnings to readers and try to use very clear language. if they continue to scroll through each piece. they want people to be making an informed decision on if they are ready to see the savages. one of the things that has been so striking about the response is that 70 people have written to say they actually learned something very profound. they felt they did not fully understand what was happening. that was what we were trying to

achieve which was a sense of a clear understanding of what so many americans have gone through. >> i guess the principal goal in your mind is to help people see beyond that. what the small circle of people understand. >> if we are going to wrestle with this issue, it is important for everyone to have a shared sense of what we are talking about. our goal is to present information in powerful terms that helps people understand the challenges we face as a nation. that was really what we saw. the response has been very gratifying. many people appreciate the fact that they can understand this. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. ♪

food use here, minnesota is usually well off. many other parts of the country is a far greater need. this common pantry was a big provider of food. the easing of the pandemic has not meant reduced demand. stephen grimaldi is the director of this pantry. >> before the pandemic, we were serving about 6.3 million meals a year. we are on pace to serve about 11 million years this year. >> there are fresh fruits and vegetables. the pantry supports nearly 200 locations around the city. this is the biggest location. the line stretches all the way around the block. the organization is distributing

a new expose is revealing years of abuse and assault by a respected doctor at a top university medical center. the ivy league school has admitted it failed to many women by waiting too long to stop him. we recorded this conversation earlier. >> columbia university has apologized to thousands of women for allowing an ob/gyn to continue practicing medicine unchecked after the sexually sulted -- assaulted patients. there was a multimillion dollar settlement fund. the doctor was convicted in federal court last january and sentenced to 20 years in prison for enticing for patients to cross state lines where he examined and assaulted them. they were warned about his behavior.

a podcast brought to light the assaults and the university's failure to act. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for the imitation. >> before we get into the role of the university, help us understand the extent of how this abuse between the early 1990's and his first arrest in 2012. what were women saying happened and how many women are we talking about? >> to the last question, we don't really know how many women we are talking about. we know so far of more than 700 women who have come forward. it could be in the thousands. he came to columbia in the late 1980's. he started practicing in 1990 as a member of the faculty. from what we can tell, he started abusing women from the beginning. the earliest patient we talked

to was from 1992. she was 16 years old at the time. during the course of two decades , they saw thousands of women. we do not know the extent of his abuse. we know it was pretty extensive. >> what was the pattern of abuse? what was it that women were saying happened? >> they were being abused during the medical exams. he did have certain patterns. a typical pattern is he would wait for the pelvic exam to be finished and then the chaperone would leave and he would find an excuse to reenter the room and say he forgot something. and he needed to do something. he would abuse them. that said, there were also women who said it happened while the chaperone was in the room. he pretty much took every

opportunity to abuse women. but always during a medical exam. >> some women did complain to the medical center center. what was the response? >> we documented women who tried to tell people at columbia for years. sometimes the women would have articulating it problems. the breach of trust and trauma. they would try to say that he made me uncomfortable. i find him creepy. there were instances where women were explicit. she sat down and wrote a multipage letter to the chairman of the department describing in detail what had happened to her. there were definitely warning signs. columbia failed to act. the warnings were dismissed. the women were not believed. if you are going to protect your patients from a predator like

him, the first step is to actually believe that someone like him can exist at your institution. on multiple occasions, the complaints were dismissed or ignored. >> in 2012, a woman who had recently had a baby went in for a follow-up. she was assaulted. she reported it immediately. that is what leads to his first arrest. he gets a plea deal and avoids jail time. you talk to her as part of your podcast. this is a clip. in which she is remembering when she learned that he would not go to jail. >> he is taking a plea deal. and you stopped him. the thing is, he will not have any jail time. but he will lose his medical license around the world. that is what you wanted to happen, and i write? -- am i write?

i was likewise set a victory? >> he went home. that was a series of trails. another huge one in her case was when he was arrested in his office, columbia made the decision to let him go right back to work. he continued to see women before his arrest. >> there is this turning point when the wife of the former president -- president candidate andrew yang was assaulted. this is how she described it. >> i was confused and then i realize what was happening and then i just kind of froze. like a deer in the headlights. just frozen. i knew it was happening. i remember trying to fix my eyes on a spot on the wall and just

trying to avoid seeing his face. as he assaulted me. i was waiting for it to be over. >> why was that interview so important? >> at the time, her husband was running for president. she realized she had a platform to reach a lot of women. she made a very difficult decision to go public on cnn. that interview aired in january of 2020. immediately after that interview aired, women started coming forward in droves. at the time of the interview, there were maybe about 30 women who had come forward. a couple of months later, there were 90. when that happens, the scope of his abuse became clear.

we are talking about someone who we now know was probably the most prolific sexual predator in new york history. the scope became clear. that caught the attention of the federal government. the fbi started investigating him. he was recharged with federal crimes. >> columbia has announced a settlement fund. having the survivors that you talk to feel about those actions? >> the survivors i've talked to have mixed feelings about it. on the one hand they are happy that columbia is finally taking that to do the right thing, notifying women. these are things they have called for for a long time. they are skeptical of the settlement fund and the announcement of it. they have healthy skepticism that they are also happy to see columbia finally moving in the right direction. >> thank you for your
