5:01 pm
orders today focused on a variety of issues, from immigration to die policies. we'll break down the changes you need to know about. also ahead this afternoon, the bay area and the nation honoring one of the most extraordinary americans in history. a look at the tributes to doctor martin luther king jr. the ktvu news at 5:00 starts right now. >> ktvu fox two news at five starts now. >> we will dream boldly and nothing will stand in our way because we are americans. the future is ours and our golden age has just begun. >> we begin with president trump pledging to put america first and working quickly to shape the federal government in his vision, unwinding much of the previous administration's work. good evening everyone. i'm alex savage. it has certainly been a busy first day for the new president and his team. just within the past 20 minutes or so, president trump signed a
5:02 pm
flurry of executive orders from the oval office, and this included pardons for over a thousand january 6th defendants. >> we hope they come out tonight, frankly, they're expecting it. approximately 1500 people, 66 commutations. >> president trump was vague on the specifics, but we are told nearly 1300 people have either pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial to charges including seditious conspiracy and assaulting police officers. these pardons do not erase a defendant's criminal record, but they do forgive the offense and restore certain civil rights like gun ownership. trump also signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship, a move which is almost certain to face several legal challenges. for more, let's bring in ktvu political reporter greg lee, who has been following all of today's events and the executive actions that the incoming
5:03 pm
president has already taken. greg. >> yeah, alex, president trump is using time in his return to office. >> these executive orders, just the beginning of what he's promised today. ceremonies, though, especially this afternoon, feeling more like a campaign rally than anything else as he reworks the government at this hour. the new york times reporting. trump has also fired four top immigration court officials hours into this new term. >> i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear donald trump taking the oath of office, officially becoming the 47th president of the united states. >> the nation's 45th presidents returned to the white house, capping a historic and remarkable political comeback. >> i returned to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. a tide of change is sweeping the country. >> trump's inauguration moved inside the capitol rotunda for the first time in 40 years due to extreme cold. in washington, d.c, trump painting a dim picture of the country, promising to take a new
5:04 pm
direction. >> from this moment on, america's decline is over. [applause] >> the campaign was over. write that. put the rhetoric behind us and focus on the work at hand, u.s. senator from california alex padilla sat in the audience, disappointed by the president's remarks on stage with the president, his vice president, jd vance, his cabinet nominees, former presidents and vice presidents, and a crowd of billionaire tech ceos for donald trump, who pretends to be sort of a man for the people, look who he chose to have around him. you know, tech ceos and billionaires before the ceremony, a return to american traditions of the peaceful transfer of power. >> president biden and first lady jill biden welcoming mr. trump and incoming first lady melania trump to the white house. biden reportedly telling trump, welcome home, we will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color and
5:05 pm
creed for american citizens. >> january 20th, 2025 is liberation day. [applause] >> mr. trump returns to power four years after a mob of his supporters attacked the capitol. he becomes the oldest president ever inaugurated at 78. the first convicted felon to become commander in chief, and only the second president in history to win nonconsecutive terms. >> the journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one that i can tell you. those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take my life. did you like my speech? >> after a full slate of ceremonial events, the president arrived to the capital one arena to thank supporters who watched and cheered him on. he also began to sign a flurry of executive orders. >> we're going to more than save it. we're going to make it greater than it's ever been before by a lot.
5:06 pm
>> in what will likely be his first trip of this presidency, mr. trump said he will visit fire ravaged los angeles on friday, putting california and governor newsom in the spotlight as the state looks for continued federal aid and positions itself as an antagonist to this administration. so, alex, what we are seeing so far early on in just a few hours of this presidency is really taking what president biden issued 70 executive orders, initially coming to office and pulling all of those back and starting from square one. yeah, absolutely. >> the incoming president and his administration have kept you very busy today trying to keep up with all the executive orders. let me ask you quickly, though, about what we expect for this visit from president trump to california on friday. and the dynamics have always been fascinating between trump and california governor gavin newsom. what do you expect that visit might, might look like and feel like? >> and the governor inviting president trump early on in this week when these fires started last week, saying he should come see the fire damage for himself. what we have seen in the past is
5:07 pm
that governor newsom has essentially said, i want to work with you as it pertains to helping the people of california rebuild, helping to protect them from fires. but we're already seeing this sort of political football as it relates to federal aid. mike johnson, the speaker of the house, saying there should be conditions on this federal aid. so exactly what does that look like when newsom and trump meet? but you can guarantee that the governor will likely be on his best behavior as the president arrives in california. certainly needs that federal aid. >> yeah, we'll closely follow that coming up later this week. all right, greg lee, appreciate it. thank you. and before he left office, president biden issued several preemptive pardons for his siblings and their spouses. biden issued a statement on those pardons, saying his family has been, quote, subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats motivated solely by a desire to hurt me. biden also pardoned people that president trump has targeted during some of his speeches. that includes doctor anthony fauci, retired general and former chair of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley, and members of the house committee
5:08 pm
that investigated the january 6th attack. none of the people pardoned have been charged with a crime, and the pardons do not denote guilt. and the president, the outgoing president, was careful to point that out. joining us now to help us unpack what has been certainly an historic day in this country is david schultz, a professor of political science and legal studies at hamline university. professor, we appreciate the time today. thank you for doing it. i want to start by asking you about the latest developments and the latest executive order that the president signed here. president trump just signed an order offering pardons or commutations. it sounds like, to everyone who has been convicted of crimes related to the attack on the u.s. capitol on january 6th, what is your your take about how sweeping these pardons are for the january 6th defendants? >> well, first two observations. the first one is that the president has broad authority to be able to issue pardons, and that's what he did here, pardons against federal crimes. and so
5:09 pm
there was no surprise that he was going to do this. there was a lot of rumor, and we don't know yet. there was at least some rumors saying that he was going to make a distinction between those who pardons for those who committed nonviolent acts versus violent. i don't know yet. you know, i don't think any of us know really sort of the scope of all this here, but certainly no surprise that he was going to really reward the people who were supporters and acted on january 6th, because, remember, the president, president trump has largely said that his actions were not illegal and that he did nothing wrong. and it's really argued that these individuals did nothing wrong. but certainly the pardons are, if you accept them, admission of the fact that you broke the law. >> interesting to point that out. what do you think from a political standpoint? what does president trump signal to his supporters here on his first day in office with with these sweeping pardons of january 6th defendants? >> well, it's not just with the sweeping pardons, but with all of his executive orders. what he's telling him is that i plan
5:10 pm
on honoring the promises that i made during the campaign. and he's committed to not only doing that, but issuing a series of executive orders that are going to try to overturn the executive orders that joe biden made when he left office. and so there's a little bit of a i don't want to call it like, you know, cat and mouse going on here. but a very typical pattern that we see is outgoing presidents issue a whole bunch of executive orders to try to insulate their legacy. and the incoming president issues a whole bunch of executive orders to try to undo that. and we're seeing the exact same pattern here. but certainly trump is trying to say at this point, as part of what the make america great, his promise to his supporters. i'm going to do what i said i promised i was going to do. >> yeah. when you talk about that cat and mouse game, we certainly saw that unfold today with former president biden issuing those blanket preemptive pardons to a number of people, including family members and members of the january 6th committee here. and then you have the incoming president taking the actions that he has. let me ask you about the
5:11 pm
executive orders that president trump signed today when it comes to immigration, because obviously, we know he has promised a crackdown in this country on on illegal immigration and stepped up border enforcement. and i think one of the orders that's really standing out to a lot of people is an executive order that was signed by president trump saying that he intends to end birthright citizenship in this country, which has been the law of the land for centuries. here. a lot of legal experts saying that this is really an uphill climb here. what is your take here on on why the president would sign such an order, knowing that it is going to be really tough to get this passed from a legal standpoint? >> well, i think again, it goes back to what we were saying before is that he ran on immigration. he ran on a platform of challenging the individuals who come to the united states and claiming that, you know, they give birth and therefore kind of create this kind of anchor for people to be able to stay in the united states. and so, again, he's this
5:12 pm
is a centerpiece immigration. and so i think he's going to push on this. and if he doesn't succeed, what he can at least say to his supporters to say, i tried, it was that lousy supreme court or those lousy judges that wouldn't let me go along with it. so in some sense, he's in a no lose situation in terms of if he pulls it off, which i don't think anybody thinks he's going to be able to say he's going to do that, then he's got a big win. if he doesn't pull it off, he gets to blame it on somebody else, but at least claim and say, i tried to do what i claimed i was going to do. all right. >> finally, professor here, you know, signing executive orders, that that is just sort of one part of the equation here. and obviously, we're seeing a huge number of executive orders being signed on this first day. but really when push comes to shove, if the president wants to get his legislative agenda accomplished here, it's going to be tough. despite the fact that republicans control both houses of congress. but we are talking about slim majorities here. how how successful do you see president trump being in getting his legislative agenda, move
5:13 pm
through congress and accomplishing some of what he wants to get done in that fashion? >> this is going to be tough. this is going to be the closest margin in the congress, i think, since the 1930s. remember, he has several appointments where coming from the house of representatives, if confirmed, i think it's going to be a one or maybe a two seat majority about that as all he's going to have, which means you're going to have some of the republicans who perhaps do not support him completely, or who are going to be pushing for more extreme measures, really holding things up. so it's going to be very difficult for trump and speaker johnson to really hold together the majority, knowing that one person can probably veto it. so this is going to be interesting to see in the proverbial, what, first 100 days, how well can he move his legislative agenda and how disciplined he can actually be. that's always, of course, the task for any president. but but a president with such small, small majorities, this is going to be exceedingly difficult. >> and that means bringing together the different factions of the republican party to get
5:14 pm
everybody on the same page, to get things done in washington. we'll see, of course, how it all plays out. appreciate the insight today. david schultz, professor of political science and legal studies at hamline university. thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> all right. dozens of republicans gathered for an inauguration watch party at harry's bar in san francisco today. many of them applauded as president trump laid out his policy priorities during his speeches, addressing everything from immigration to the environment. they say his return to the white house brings them a sense of vindication and relief. >> he came back, witnessed the greatest political comeback of the history. i mean, it's just unbelievable what he has accomplished that man has accomplished. >> i'm feeling good. i'm feeling very positive and optimistic, and i'm really looking forward to our future for myself and for
5:15 pm
my kids. >> more than 80% of voters in san francisco cast their ballots in this last election. for president biden. only 15% voted for president trump. coming up on the news at 5:00 tonight, a new development in a brutal and deadly car crash involving several vehicles who police say is now in custody. also ahead tonight, remembering a civil rights icon how the bay area paid tribute on this mlk day. >> and we are tracking that forecast. a wind advisory again tonight and a frost advisory. the details coming up. >> also coming up next, a red flag warning puts much of southern california at critical risk of wildfires, with two major fires still burning and not completely under control. we'lhave the latest on the
5:16 pm
- man, i need some serious help with this health insurance stuff. - check out covered california. it's a free service from the state that helps you get health insurance. millions of people have used it. - wait, for real? - mmm hmm, they even offer financial help to lower the cost. - nooo... how you know about all this? - that's how i got my insurance. i got a great plan for about $10 dollars a month. - okay, i see you. - if you've got questions, covered california can help, every step of the way. enroll by january 31st. covered california. this way to health insurance.
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
wildfires in the area still are burning this afternoon. the palisades and the eaton fires, both of them now, though at 60% contained. after destroying over 14,000 homes and other structures. but the situation was complicated today as santa ana winds picked back up, triggering another red flag warning for that region. we want to give you a better ia of just how real the risk of wildfires is in southern california, and we want to show you a map fromal fire. you see those two major fires, the palisades and the eaton fires there on this map. and then you see the area in red. that broad area in red. that's the red flag warning acrs southern california. i stretches all the way from santa barbara county, all the way down to san diego and to the mexican border. this last through at least tomorrow,
5:19 pm
all because of tse strong santa ana wds coming in the offshore direction. the winds not just raising the fire danger. they also present some hidden health risks as well. fox's sarah alegre is joining us live tonight from pasadena with more on that part of the story. sarah. >> yeah. hi there. we have that fire weather warning out until just about tuesday. now here i'm at the fema disaster recovery center, and it's actually closing a bit early. and part of the reason why is because of those santa ana winds, it's blowing dust. it's blowing ash in this direction. so out of a necessary precaution, they've shut it down a little bit earlier tonight. it's usually open until just around 8 p.m. so while there's yes, a real fire danger in this area, there's also the hidden dangers, the unseen dangers as well, especially for those with those underlying health conditions. >> my breathing has been tighter and a little more difficult since this started. and again,
5:20 pm
i'm trying to stay indoors, trying to not be outside too much. but air quality has not been good. and that's that's certainly affected me. it's been risky, you know, for everybody, but especially given the health challenges that i have and the high risk that i am as a transplant recipient and double lung transplant recipient two times over. >> yeah. and epa crews and hazmat suits, they've been out digging through this wildfire waste for the last week. lithium ion batteries, they say, especially from electric vehicles, are a top concern right now. the epa also says the heat has turned common items like pesticides, fertilizers and cleaners into toxic hazards. now, governor newsom issued an executive order to start the cleanup process. but these crews can't begin that until all that toxic waste is removed. the air quality index, it shows the air has gotten a little bit better. but respiratory doctors say smoke, ash and that dangerous gas from all that leftover waste is still a risk. the air quality
5:21 pm
index. yes, it tracks pollution, but doctors tell me it can miss some of those hidden dangers. >> the air quality measurements don't have a way to measure for toxicity of these particles. sometimes they're just measuring quantity, right? i mean, i've been seeing it in the office all week, right? so many patients that have underlying respiratory issues like asthma, copd, lung disease are having difficulty with coughing, wheezing, exacerbation of their symptoms. because of this poor air quality. >> yeah. and when those santa ana winds pick up, it just heightens the risk that much more. not only when it comes to the fire conditions and the fire weather that we're dealing with, but then also the air pollution side of it and the toxins that are potentially floating in the air right now. so we have those evacuation orders. they have been lifted for some areas, allowing those residents to come in. but public health officials, local leaders, the fire department and so on, just warning residents that we have those santa ana winds and low
5:22 pm
humidity, along with downed power lines, lack of power in some areas. so we all just need to be on high alert. in pasadena, sarah alegre, fox two news. >> yeah, certainly you have to be concerned about the health risks along with the fire risks as the winds pick back up there. sarah, thank you for that live report from pasadena. we appreciate it. we'll stay in southern california here. and los angeles police say they have arrested a homeless man for allegedly starting this small brush fire at griffith park today. this video was taken around 130 this afternoon. you see a water drop coming in right there to put out those flames. thankfully, firefighters were able to quickly knock down this fire and it burned less than an acre or so, but obviously caused quite a bit of concern. crews right now still are dealing with hotspots in that area. former vice president kamala harris is expected to meet with firefighters in southern california after attending president trump's inauguration. harris posted a farewell on x this morning, including a photo with former president joe biden
5:23 pm
saying it has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve you, the american people. an aide says harris will thank firefighters in los angeles who have been on the front lines for a couple of weeks now, and she'll help distribute food with the world central kitchen. >> a nice day today. hope you had the day off. it is a holiday. it is a beautiful day. temperatures were significantly warmer today than yesterday. we woke up this morning with frost advisories. a little bit of fog and a wind advisory in the hills. will wake up tomorrow morning with a wind advisory in the hills in the north bay and the east bay. we'll have a frost advisory as well, and there might be a little patchy valley fog. so just kind of a repeat of what we had today. i think most noticeably today was the increase in daytime highs. temperatures yesterday came in in at 5152 degrees almost like overnight lows. it was just kind of a cool day. the fog lingered. today the sun came out low 60s and that brought temperatures up a solid ten to 10 to 15 degrees
5:24 pm
in some places warmer than yesterday. these are the frost advisory parameters. we'll have a few of these i think this week we the next chance of rain, maybe friday night into saturday. and even that's looking a little bit grim. so we are now to the point where la hasn't had rain there well below average. they're having record dry down there. and the fire concerns obviously there. we've had in some cases well above average rainfall like in marin county up over 200%. but that is now down to just over 100% of rain. so you lose a lot of ground when you don't get rain. and i don't see any coming anytime soon. doesn't mean it won't happen. it just means this week looks dry again. so we get the usual suspects frost advisories, wind advisory, and fog. and that's what we got. when i come back, we'll get more specific. we'll look at the long range model and go looking for rain. i'll see you back here. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, bill. thank you. hundreds of people turned out today to ride the mlk day celebration train from san jose to san francisco. i love you, i love
5:25 pm
you. the annual event drew people from across different generations. newly elected san francisco mayor daniel lurie among them. many were carrying signs for the mlk march in san francisco. activists today said they are focused on spreading the message and honoring the legacy of doctor martin luther king jr. many of the riders who have taken the trip before say it's a celebration for all people and people in the east bay marked mlk day with community service. in oakland, dozens of people took time to bag produce at the alameda county community food bank. the food bank says this is one of the largest days of service they see all year. organizers say this event upholds the legacy of doctor king, who was focused on bringing people out of poverty as part of creating a more just and equal society. >> what you're seeing is a number of diverse volunteers from throughout the county, throughout the city of oakland, who have come together to say, we want to put an end to food
5:26 pm
insecurity, and we're going to do whatever we can with our hands, with our dollars and so forth, to ensure that nobody goes hungry in our community. >> this was the 15th annual mlk day event held at the alameda county community food bank. next tonight on the news at 5:00, an arrest has been made in connection to a deadly multi-car crash in san francisco. what investigators say may
5:27 pm
- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

5:29 pm
police say the driver accused of causing a deadly crash in the city's south of market neighborhood is a 66 year old man, and witnesses say that driver is also responsible for a series of hit and run crashes at a nearby freeway off ramp. our crime reporter henry lee joining us live tonight from the city with the details on what we have learned so far in this investigation. henry. >> well, we're at sixth and harrison, where san francisco police say this driver caused a chain reaction series of collisions hitting one car, which then sent the car into the car in front of it, so on and so forth, with deadly results. a man suspected of causing a deadly chain reaction crash at sixth and harrison in san francisco, now identified as 66 year old jia lin zheng. san francisco police arrested him on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, speeding and vandalism after he allegedly plowed a tesla model y into a row of cars stopped in traffic at about 6:00 sunday night, killing one person and a dog in
5:30 pm
one of the vehicles. seven others were hurt, including one who was then taken to a hospital in critical condition. the crash happened moments after witnesses say a black tesla had hit several cars on the 280 off ramp near sixth and brannan, two blocks away. >> we got hit from behind and which was really abrupt, obviously. >> reece wallace says his nissan versa was among several cars to be hit on the off ramp, as seen in this video posted by another driver on imgur. you can see a car moving to the left of a line of cars, waiting for a light on the off ramp, and then hitting a car before driving along the shoulder where other cars were hit, wallace says. this video, also posted online on imgur, then shows the tesla taking off running a red light at brannan before continuing to sixth and harrison. moments later, wallace says the same tesla plowed into at least six cars. one of the cars was a waymo vehicle with no passengers inside. waymo says the suspect had been going 98 miles an hour. wallace says he saw a little white dog lying motionless on the street. >> i walked up and saw the dog and saw them wheeling the person
5:31 pm
away. >> wallace says he's sure the same tesla was involved at both locations. >> 100% wasn't able to get the license plate when they drove by, but was able to take a good look at the license plate cover and like, confirmed it on the other car, too. >> wallace says he's relieved he and his partner are okay, but frustrated by what happened. >> mostly just angry and upset because it's just not, i don't know. cars are dangerous and people are stupid in them. >> it's now the suspect is being held at san francisco county jail right around the corner from this crash. today he declined my request for an interview. also this afternoon, the wife of the victim who was killed came to the scene and was understandably too devastated to speak about what happened. live in san francisco. henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> henry. thank you. up next on the news at 5:00 tonight, president trump already getting aggressive on immigration during his first day in office. we'll tell you how groups here in the bay area are reacting to some of his orders. also ahead, a short
5:32 pm
lived farewell for tiktok. how the popular app could
5:33 pm
5:34 pm
promises to crack down on undocumented immigrants through deportation measures and by ramping up border control measures today here in the bay area. some groups rallied in response. ktvu jana katsuyama is joining us now live from san jose. with the change in
5:35 pm
policies by the incoming administration and reaction to them here in the bay area. jana. >> alex, we're right out here on winchester and stevens creek, and i'm going to take a step away so you can see just across the street there, there is a large demonstration. at the height, there were probably more than 100 people who are lining all four corners of this intersection, really concerned about a wide range of issues, but certainly one of the big ones is immigration. and concerns about the new trump administration's immigration policies brought people to this san jose street corner. >> this is a very complex problem. you can't separate immigration from housing, from poverty, from food security, from climate change. they're all interconnected. >> hours after his inauguration, president trump began signing executive orders, and there were instant changes to customs and border patrols. cbp one app posted a message saying all
5:36 pm
existing appointments for immigration asylum requests are no longer valid. the white house website also posted a list of priorities on immigration. the president said he'll continue building a wall on the mexican border and asylum for people who illegally cross the border, and instead enforce a remain in mexico policy, begin a deportation operation for undocumented immigrants with criminal records, and order the armed forces to assist with border security. president trump also says he will designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations and seek the death penalty for any undocumented migrants who kill law enforcement officers or citizens. perhaps most controversial is president trump's talk about ending birthright citizenship, something which law experts say is not within presidential powers. >> the supreme court said that the 14th amendment means what it says all persons born in the united states or naturalized are u.s. citizens. this 125 years later, trying to change that definition, it needs to go back
5:37 pm
to the courts, or it needs to go to a constitutional amendment process. >> former ice legal advisor and usf law dean john trasvina says immigration reform should be a bipartisan act. >> congress should take the responsibility and be a co-equal partner. >> california senator alex padilla says he's reaching out to republicans in congress, saying mass deportations of law abiding migrants would hurt the country, not help. >> that's millions of workers that have kept our economy growing. the cost of food will go up, the cost of housing will go up, the cost of child care will go up. >> in san jose monday, immigrant rights advocates say they are prepared to help people who might be targeted. >> we can have people go afraid to go to school or even just go see the doctors. we do not. and we never ask for your papers at our county, and we are still here for you and we will help you through. >> and just in the past hour, we
5:38 pm
have been getting information from the white house as to the executive orders that president trump has been signing. one of them is declaring a border emergency. it's still unclear exactly what the details are of that, but certainly there's a lot of concern from people out here and others in the community who are worried about exactly what that might mean. they say they are determined to try and continue to help people understand their rights. if they are here without documentation and finding ways that the community can help support them. >> alex. yeah, certainly a lot of people wondering about the implications of these executive orders on immigration. jana katsuyama, live for us tonight in san jose. jana. thank you. and president trump today did not place his hand on the bible as he took the oath of office during his inauguration. first lady melania trump stood next to the president holding two bibles as he was sworn in by chief justice john roberts. while it is common for presidents to place their hand on a bible while taking the oath of office,
5:39 pm
the gesture is entirely symbolic and is not required by law. a gesture made by elon musk at an inaugural parade rally has now gone viral. musk told the crowd at capital one arena, quote, my heart goes out to you before making a salute several times. critics have compared his arm gesture to one commonly used in nazi germany. supporters claim that clip is being taken out of context. musk did share a clip of his speech on x, but has not addressed the controversy directly. president trump has made good on a promise to give tiktok more time to find a buyer. through an executive order, the video sharing app went dark here in the u.s. on saturday night, although it was back online by sunday morning. the welcome back message referenced president trump saying, quote, as a result of president trump's efforts, tiktok is back in the u.s. tiktok's ceo also attended today's inauguration. trump pledged to save the chinese
5:40 pm
owned app, which under federal law is supposed to shut down if it can't find a u.s. buyer. >> when this audience goes with tiktok, many. yeah. very popular. we have to save it a lot of jobs. >> president trump signed that executive order just within the last 30 minutes or so. he said it's even possible the u.s. could make a deal for a joint venture in that app. well, capcut, a video editing app and sister platform to tiktok, was also shut down over this past weekend, and as of tonight, it is still unavailable to users. shortly after capcut disappeared, instagram announced its own video editing software called edits. the meta owned platform claims it has been working on this app for months, with a launch date set for february or march. instagram adds it will likely differ from capcut experience of editing videos on a phone. there's no word yet on whether capcut is going to reopen its servers.
5:41 pm
well before he left office. president biden commuted the sentence of indigenous activist leonard peltier. the now 80 year old was convicted in the 1975 killings of two fbi agents during a standoff on the pine ridge indian reservation in south dakota. he has also maintained his innocence. peltier was denied parole back in july and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. biden says peltier will now serve the remainder of his sentence at home. cecile richards, a national force for abortion access and women's rights who led planned parenthood for 12 years, has died. richards family said in a statement that she died at her new york home, surrounded by her family. two years after being diagnosed with brain cancer, richards became president of planned parenthood in 2006. under her leadership, the organization gained in membership, donor support and political clout, and she played a prominent role in pushing back against conservative critics.
