alex: one more piece on that though. know why the covid uptake shot has not been as good and has there been any shift because of how the u.s. pays for it? it is not the government but now insurance and has that changed the covid take-up. stephane: the covid market it the u.s. is trending a little bit up from last year. it is hard to tell where it will finish because we are hearing there's a lot of desire to get vaccinated in november and december but for the consumer it is still free. if you're tphrbgd you get -- if you are insured you get the shot and you don't pay anything. so i don't think that changes anything. guy: you are though going to be leaning were less on what is happening with covid and focusing more elsewhere. nevertheless i wonder whether the scaling back of the covid side of the business means that ultimately you are going to struggle to generate the revenue necessary to make the transition to the next phase. how would you answer that kind of question or concern at the moment? stephane: i think there are

i'm alex witt in for alex vossoughian on sunday. we are live in israel with the latest on a big day in the release of hostages held stage is held by hamas. american abigail moore adana meng those now freed from captivity after her fourth birthday and after being held for close to two months since the murder of her parents, which she witnessed on october 7th. president biden has been a driving force behind getting this deal done and today expressed hope that more americans will be released soon. >> what she endured is unthinkable. abigail was among 13 hostages released today from gaza under the brokered and sustained intensive u.s. diplomacy, she is now safely in israel. and we continue to press and expect for additional americans to be released as well. we will not stop working until every hostage has been returned to their loved ones. >> starting as early as tuesday, this pause in the israeli offensive is set to end and the push into gaza resumes unless the truce is extended. >> israel put his cards on the table. they are prepared

he would sleep right by alex's bed, holding her little hand. that's just how he was. >> the former girlfriend regularly took alex to visit stephen in virginia and the bond between father and daughter grew strong. alex's mother then realized stephen could offer more stability and a better home life for their daughter than she could, and she gave him full custody of her. that says a lot about him as a dad. >> yes. stephen was responsible, and that says that he was determined to be part of his children's life. >> when alex was 2, stephen moved her to virginia to live with him full time. >> he made sure she was in a good day care. there was always times when he had to make sure he run out and got her at the right time. >> did he complain he didn't have freedom? >> absolutely not. he was content with that. >> but stephen also wanted a wife. when his coast guard service ended, he returned home, living in a house behind his parents and got a job with the state. about a year later stephen noticed an attractive woman whose office shared a parking lot wi

briefly, alex, i understand you have - lives for both sides. just briefly, alex, i understand you havebriefly, | alex, i understand you have a lot lives for both sides. just briefly, - alex, i understand you have a lot of contacts in the west bank as well. what is your sense of once this is all over, whenever that happens, the possibility of a single unified palestinian authority governing from the west bank to gaza given the opposition that there is in the west bank to hamas. ? ida opposition that there is in the west bank to hamas. ?_ opposition that there is in the west bank to hamas. ? no doubt it will be a challenge- — bank to hamas. ? no doubt it will be a challenge- i — bank to hamas. ? no doubt it will be a challenge. i think— bank to hamas. ? no doubt it will be a challenge. i think the _ bank to hamas. ? no doubt it will be a challenge. i think the ultimate - a challenge. i think the ultimate status quo is based on the commercial ties and the ability for the israelis and palestinians to work together, which they have done. let me remind you that up until the war, mark, you ha

alex. >> 100%. as i hearbout the story of abigail, as you accurately discussed, the -- is the family who she got over to you. they had four at thr mily released today. that includes a ten year old, eight-year-old, and four-year-old. god willing, she was kept with them. that would've made it perhaps a little easier. for that mother or father to put their arms around all those children together. very quickly, do you think they were released, this group today, do you think they were released through the north because of the medical necessity of that elderly hostage who had to get to the hospital right away? >> that's our understanding. they wanted to cut out this middle step rather than going through egypt, they wanted to get this older woman over the border, into the hands ofhe israelis as quickly as they could. she was flown directly by helicopter hospital here in israel to be given immediate treatment. we will keep you posted soon as we know anything about her condition. >> which we very much apprec

we don't believe sir alex ferguson will be giving a reading.e has had a desperately sad personal time losing his wife cathy also last month and now his great confidant and friends sir bobby charlton as well. certainly we have seen many united greats already enter manchester cathedral here already. alex daphne, who we spoke to former manchester united boss michael cooper and that european cup winning side from 1968. it looks as though we are just about to have another of the final guests arriving here perhaps at manchester cathedral, and that is the president designate of the football association. we can bring you these live pictures now. prince william arrives here at manchester cathedral. bells ring. 5° _ bells ring. so prince . bells ring. - so prince william just ems we. — so prince william just arriving for. the service should start very shortly. we will break up here from the north entrance at some point for when the cortez arrives at the south entrance shortly. let's have to old trafford now where the funeral procession officially started

>> she is much more careful, alex.ing to be walking a tightrope between trying to please your father and say -- while also not taking any responsibility for herself. i can definitely see here trying to play into this accounts, obviously none of them are going to be taking the stand saying it's all their fault so she is in a very challenging position. >> i can imagine. let me ask you quickly about a constitutional question i have. there's a new article, this is from the washington post. he says trump's allies are plotting revenge against his critics, and plan to weaponize the doj. it yshe former president's naming individuals that he wants to investigate or prosecute, and his associates are dropping plans to invoke the insurrection act on his first day in office tullahoma to deploy the military against civil demonstrations. does he need to take a look at the constitution which are saying he's going to do this? come on. >> you know, when i read that article, alex, i said to myself, at this happens, i'm going to be in cou

>> hey alex, the response has been mixed. if you listen to what people are saying in palestine and parts of the arab world, there was relative disappointment in hassan nasrallah's speech did not declare war, did not give some sort of an alternate -- ultimatum to israel or the u.s. to back down or that they would fully get involved in this war. but if you look at other parts of the arab world, especially lebanon, where hassan nasrallah was, and there was a sigh of relief that he did not lay out concrete steps for what hezbollah was going to do if this ground incursion or the bombing continues. and that is because lebanon is on the brink of financial collapse, and an all out war that would involve lebanon would really tip that country over the edge. and a lot of lebanese were worried about that. it was a typical hassan nasrallah speech, alex. it was long, it sounded like a lecture, and it was laced with threats, but it was not a declaration of war, which people had worried about. he talked about, you know, the proxies in the re

yes, i spent time with alex and _ player he was.ian kidd - player he was. yes, i spent time with alex and brian kidd and - player he was. yes, i spent time | with alex and brian kidd and john aston in the days after sir bobby died. unfortunately, i had to tell brian kidd of his passing and brian just burst into tears. and those two in extra time of the 1968 european cup final, fatal holes in benfica's defence, manchester united became the first english team to become european champions —— they tore holes. you made the point early in your report, bobby saw several of his friends die on the airfield in munich. and to recoverfrom that his friends die on the airfield in munich. and to recover from that not just physically, but mentally and to become a player who sir matt busby built his team around as manchester united rose again can fa cup winners in 1960 35 years after the crash, league champions in 1965 and 1967, european champions in 1968, it was an incredible story tinged with sadness. and it wasn't something he felt he could celeb

>> yes, alex.an who i've interviewed back in the past when i used to cover this region for the wall street journal before even came to nbc news. i reached out to him, we've kind of been speaking to him throughout the last several weeks. this is a man who, like a lot of other hamas officials who i've spoken to, feels that he and his cause have been deeply misunderstood by the west. while a lot of our viewers will consider him in his organization to be kind, of public enemy number one, he really does feel as though he wants to have a fair hearing. and so yes, you mentioned this was contentious, but we left each other smiling, and you know, he really felt as though he was grateful that out the opportunity to be heard. here's what he told me. >> did hamas kill civilians on october 7th? >> look, we never had intention or -- it is prohibited to harm, or to kill civilians. but when people went inside, there's a wide area, there's people, there's some complication -- >> will you release all of the hostages

>> alex, i don't think. so i was talking to a senior senate democratic leadership lately last night after this plan was dropped, and they made a point of telling me that they feel as though speaker johnson came closer into the direction of democrats with this bill because it does have this two-step process. democrats certainly don't, like a they think it's chaotic, it's wonky, it's complicated, for no reason. but, it is a clean bill. meaning, there are no spending in, budget cuts, something hard-line conservatives really wanted. let's talk about what's in the. spell it to give a full screen of, it if you can. it's a two-step process. some of the agencies run out funding on january 19th. other agencies, includin defense, which is also a line for democrats. they're happy this is in the second -- they ran out of funding t second, meaning the prospect of deadline shutdown slims at the bill passes. at the same time, you already have three republicans who have quickly posted on x, right after this plan was unveile

>> hey, alex, it's very much still in full swing.ack friday may no longer be that spectacle that we are used to. people can't be out days ahead of the actual shopping event and really, really long lines. but make no mistake, people are still going to big box stores and spending lots of money. the national retail federation, expecting about 130 million that was spent coast to coast within the black friday holiday window. and yes, shoppers are getting their door busters, their bargain deals. something that we caught up here say they want to make sure they got their early. this store here in philadelphia six a.m. for those people that wanted to get a head start on that in-store shopping experience. they are excited, they want to spend the money, and they have a long list of items for those loved ones. take a listen. >> generally, walmart because right here. you pick it up, it's in your hands, you don't have to wait for a delivery, you don't have to be home for a delivery, right in your hands. because it's right there, it's in your hands

alex? of the last six weeks, we've been talking about the possibility of a wider regional conflict, all this time, where does that stand as the strikes are increasing on both sides? >> yeah, i mean, that's the question everybody here is asking, both here in lebanon, throughout the wider region, washington in europe. that's really the question everybody's mind. if this were to break out into wider war, it really could be even worse than what we're seeing right now in gaza and israel. because of the weapons that hezbollah, which i just mentioned are bringing to bear. we've been hearing bellicose statements on both sides, from -- the head of hezbollah, and now just toy, from -- he is the israelister of defense, he said that heollah makes a mistake that israel is ready on la, air and sea. they will know what to do if that happens. interesting to note here, alex when we talk to policymakers, diplomats here, that word mistake. so far, it looks like both sides, including hezbollah, which like hama

i'm boris sanchez alongside alex mar quiet. there is no hope for babies evacuated from a war-torn hospital in gaza as pressure is growing on israel to provide evidence hamas ran a command center under the al shifa medical facility. >>> in washington, d.c., a fiery courtroom showdown. former president donald trump is fighting his gag order in the federal 2020 election subversion case, with a special counsel says trump is trying to influence and intimidate witnesses. >>> and new data shows the earth is getting hotter, smashing through a threshold scientists have been warning about for decades. we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn news central." >>> we start this hour with dozens of newborn babies who were trapped in a war zone, now safe. earlier today a convoy of ambulances made the treacherous journey through gaza to the rafah crossing where medical staff were ready waiting with incubators to transfer the newborns to egypt, 28 babies in all. their fight far from over. doct

alex familiar with what alex.oted them, but if you haven't heard, they are home. >> but there are many things that israel must do as part of its response . we've been clear its response. we've been clear that they must act within international law . they must international law. they must take all measures to protect innocent civilians , including at innocent civilians, including at hospitals , stop extremist hospitals, stop extremist violence in the west bank, and allow more aid into gaza . allow more aid into gaza. >> there you go. alex's notes his points now. so if you alex yeah, and i think that, broadly speaking, and believe me, people will disagree about this , i will disagree about this, i think israel's doing those things. >> and i think that israel is entitled to act as it has done and to defend itself. indeed, israel is the only country that seems be expected in seems to be expected by some in the to act with some sort the world to act with some sort of benign restraint when 1000 of its citizens get slaug

alex mean? yeah, it is hot breaking. i mean, really, alex, let me come to you and perhaps ask you to react to what dr. tania was describing that and, and why? why have we seen so many children killed in this culture, exotics, and what is the impact quit? well, of course they are the injuries of all of these children, but what is the impact long term of being in such conditions of such suffering, such injuries and hot break? they must be a huge psychological impact. and trump is absolutely what dr times has just described is horrific. it's. it's unfathomable. i, you know, i've been working in the humanitarian sector for over a decade. and what i've seen over the past 7 weeks, i haven't, i have not seen before to this level. i mean, we know that most of the attacks where people have been killed haven't occurred in their own homes. and so it's no surprise that so many children have been killed and the impact of mental health impact is immense. i'll go back to, you know, the situation before october 7th, save the children en

so i disagreed with a lot alex's analysis. lot of alex's analysis.learly division that's very are very deep seated. people are acting according to their conscience. and i think we've got to bear in mind that faith, any faith is different to politics or running a football club or being ceo of a ftse 100 company. and ordinarily , this company. and ordinarily, this division, if you if you're a football team disagreeing other in the premier league or the cabinet of the uk government or issues like that or ftse 100 company, they'll be called for someone to be sacked. i think it's different in a place of faith because one, there's no right answer because there are two very different two camps with very different views sexuality . but we've views about sexuality. but we've got to remember that they are we if christian faith , are if you have christian faith, are unhed one if you have christian faith, are united one bigger thing, united by one bigger thing, which christ and the which is faith in christ and the resurrection . resurrection. >> n resurrection.

alex? >> hard to forget about them, thank you so much for that, appreciate that, erin mclaughlin there in jerusalem. for all of, you are also gonna take you to gaza, get a report there at the bottom of the hour on. that just happening inside that much beleaguered hospital. also some intelligence reports conflicting reports about whether not hamas is indeed operating some sort of command center underneath the hospital. we'll get you there at the bottom of the hour. let's go now to some new developments in the donald trump civil fraud trial. monday, his legal team will start presenting its defense. the trial's outcome could limit trump's ability to do business in new york state. his son don jr.'s gonna take the stand for the second time in the trial. more than 127 witnesses listed as potentially testifying for the defense. this follows a week of angry outbursts, memory lapses, in some gotcha moments. the former president and his daughter, ivanka, took a stand. nbc news investigative reporter

and alex, maybe just give a yes or no. am i correct that document are presumptively, when i was classified as a b 25, right. it was the presumptive, then there'd be a review. but could be extended. is that right that there's a presumptive of age and there is already that 25 year automatic declassification period, but agencies have ways of extending it. so so i look, i don't want to be in a position of arguing against you because. i think i agree that that that age matters and that at some point i was just saying it's not i know that you can ever say automatically and i think that the agencies are going to push back on an automatic we have to we have to put this out. but i'd say automatically right. congress could actually say automatic. well then you get into to yeah, then you get into a constitutional issue. i think i think addressing the default role, which is what you're getting at, is something that in oh one, three, 5 to 6, which is upcoming up, is under review. i think that's one of the things the board has talked ab

alex joins me now . publications. alex joins me now. to the conversation. so far. the parlous democracy or parlous state of democracy or not? where do we go from here? what would you see as the way ahead ? ahead? >> and well, the way i like to think about it, i'd like to think about it, i'd like to think in framework. and i think the you your previous guest talked about the permanent bureaucracy. i think once we make observations and we pinpoint the problem, we have to we have to focus on those. i think the first one is the permanent funding issue is something that we as citizens have to deal with. we have to find a way of deal financing these organisations who have claimed for themselves a power that they've taken away from us, which is the power to regulate the power to legislate, whether on things, whether we like them or not. and the other thing is it leads to this power that they've got through that permanent financing is expediency. they no longer care about principles because principles is act as a constraint . and constraint is

the evidence from alex thomas. _ earliest stages.thomas, who _ earliest stages. the evidence from alex thomas, who was _ earliest stages. the evidence from alex thomas, who was the - earliest stages. the evidence from alex thomas, who was the expert| earliest stages. the evidence from | alex thomas, who was the expert i suppose expert on governance or political science instructed by the inquiry, was to the effect that that programme created some complexity and structural confusion, certainly in its early days, by necessary virtue of the changes that you had sought to bring about. would you agree that there was a degree of complexity and confusion brought about as a result of that programme? certainly complexity and in a sense, that was deliberate. government is a complex set of organisations and i wanted the cabinet secretariat to be the place that managed that complexity. clearly, iwas the place that managed that complexity. clearly, i was seeking to avoid confusion. i recognised that i was asking civil servants to operate in a diff

alex's point is correct.ight now the h 100 gpu, 300 pound box goes with many others into a data center. it is the only thing available in the real world that is capable of processing the data for a large line with models. all the other rivals, that is just on paper. they are not producing at volume. if the demand is there, they are ramping up supply to meet it. guy: the conclusion of this week is that ai has broken ed ludlow. that should be something we should also all note. there is a limit to how much he can take of the stuff. you had a brutal week. it's been fantastic but a brutal week and we are not done yet. ed, to the point i was making at the top, it also seems that if everybody is using nvidia and everybody is basically doing the same thing, the take away is it is a real struggle to differentiate. where is the differentiation in the ai story? ed: alex said ai is expensive. it will be in the cost to the end-user and and market, particularly on the enterprise side. the reason the relationship is so impo

alex: it was quite remarkable. it shows humans are the secret sauce. the reason people are giving microsoft a little bit of credit today is stopped because of sam altman himself. it is because of all the people at openai who have signed letters, 500 open i -- openai employees signed a letter in support of him. if you bring some of that talent to microsoft with him that is a huge boost to microsoft. is a huge boost to microsoft. one of the reasons they were perceived before openai as being a slight detriment to google's they did not have their own ai research division. employees signed a letter in support ofmicrosoft had a supplr relationship. this gives them the opportunity to build a captive ai division -- guy: an understanding of the governor structure around some of these efforts is critically important and may be as we were talking about at the last hour, the idea that some sort of more altruistic approach may not be the way to go. it brings into the question around open source versus proprietary models. openai, even though it has the word open in

>> when alex was diagnosed, i reached out to the "jeopardy!"ith pancreatic cancer, i reached out to jean, because having lost my husband jay, i really understood what it was like to lose someone you love so much and to actually watch them suffer through this disease. so we just got to be friends, and i just wanted to support her in any way i could and we started talking about alex's legacy, and how we could honor him, and that's when the idea of this fund came about >> i have to think that alex would just love this he was such a learner, into science. >> what does it mean to you to be part of this work in alex's honor, and to matthew and emily, your kids? >> yeah, i think we're really glad to support finding a cure this was something that alex actually would champion. he loved a good challenge. he was very curious. he loved to know the answers both at "jeopardy! and at home. and i think this really coincides with his character, his spirit of helping others, and finding the right answers. >> in the form of a question >> yeah, yeah. >> always in
