Mr. President, is it hostage field near?

I.

Don't know.

I.

Believe so. I'm not prepared to.

Talk to you.

You believe so? Yes. The sticking point.

Honestly, at this stage are more practical.

Logistical.

And not really something to represent the core of the deal. We may be.

Closer than we have been since the beginning of.

This process.

To getting this deal done.

I am.

Deeply, deeply concerned, deeply, deeply in anxiety about my little baby daughters and my wife's.

Mental.

Position, about their physical position.

Outlines of a possible deal appear to be taking shape, but negotiations to free some 240 hostages aided in part by Qatar and the White House remain fragile. Good evening. I'm Ellison Barber in for Gadi Schwartz. The deal would center around a pause in fighting, but so far fighting it has not slowed. In fact, it seemed to escalate today as Israeli forces pushed deeper into Gaza, with heavy fighting erupting in and around another hospital inside the enclave. This one is called the Indonesian Hospital, and it sits in the northern part of the territory. Hospital staff and members and the Gaza Health Ministry say a dozen people were killed there. Right now, BBC News cannot independently verify the source of the strike. The World Health Organization says it has no way to check on the status of the hospital's 700 patients and staff. The other hospital in the line of fire is, of course, Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest. More than two dozen premature babies who were in intensive care were evacuated into Egypt today with the help of the WHO and the Palestinian Red Crescent. Health officials say some of those babies had been born to mothers who had been killed in airstrikes.

Today we received 31 cases arrived here from.

Al-shifah.

Hospital, neonatal ICU.

An arrival.

Patient, all the patient complain.

Of hypothermia, hypoglycemia.

And severe malnutrition.

This journey will be continued today to continue full management in Egypt and in neonatal.

Icu in Egypt.

Al-shifah Hospital continues to be a main focus of the war. Today, Israel released new videos allegedly showing tunnels underneath the facility in an attempt to support its claim that Hamas has been using the hospital as a command base. And BC News could not independently verify these videos. Hamas continues to deny Israeli accusations that it uses civilian infrastructure to conceal its military command centers. Joining me now is in BC news, foreign correspondent, Ralph Sanchez from Tel Aviv. Ralph, let's start with the hospitals because there is this situation, right, where the World Health Organization is saying they have lost contact with staffers. Around 28 premature babies, they were evacuated from Al-Shifah Hospital. Explain to us what is happening inside that particular hospital right now, the largest in Gaza, and also talk to us about big picture. Are there any medical facilities fully functioning in Gaza right now?

Allison, starting at Al-Shif, the Hamas run Health Ministry says there are still several hundred people inside of that hospital. We call it a hospital. It's not functioning anymore. There is no water, there's no power. The ability of staff to give life-saving care to people inside, absolutely minimal. Those who are still inside are either too sick to leave, or they are the medics who are committed to staying as long as their patients are there. There are also a number of displaced people who are still inside. Now, as they remain inside the buildings, the Israeli military is digging in the grounds out front, looking for what they say. This is Hamas tunnel network underneath. They have released video showing what they say is a tunnel 10 meters deep, 55 meters long. Bbc News has not been able to verify that. Ellison, going a little bit further north to the Indonesian hospital, this is all the way to the northern end of Gaza, officials there say they are surrounded by Israeli tanks at this point. They say 12 people killed inside of the hospital by Israeli fire. We asked the Israeli military about that. They said the Palestinian militants shot at them from inside of the hospital.

They returned fire, but they are denying that they shelled it. They say they did not use tank shells. It's not clear what ammunition they used. In terms of the big picture, Allison, there are still hospitals that are functioning mainly down in the south, but they are severely, severely overwhelmed because so many of those displaced people coming from the north to the south, and many of them are in need of medical care.

Allison. Ralph, talk to us about this potential hostage deal. There's been a lot of confusion, a lot of back and forth around it. What do we know right now? What are your sources telling you in terms of what this might look like?

This is the broad outline, as explained to us by sources familiar with the matter. It would involve the release of some, not all, of the hostages in exchange for a temporary ceasefire inside of Gaza, followed by an influx of humanitarian aid. Let's start with the some, hostages. We expect it to be several dozen, most likely to be the women and children. It does not appear that it's going to be all 240. That is causing a lot of concern here in Israel, especially among the parents of those who are least likely to be part of this initial deal. So that is the parents of soldiers, the parents of military-aged males. They are very concerned that there may be this one deal, and then there won't be another opportunity for another deal. We also don't know, Ellison, whether Israel is agreeing to release Palestinian prisoners from its own jails. That's something we've seen happen in the past. Not clear if it's going to happen this time. But the thing to underscore, as stressed to us both by our sources, but also by the White House speaking on the record, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and this deal is not yet finalized.

Ellison. All right, Ralph Sanchez, thank you so much for your amazing reporting. We really appreciate it. Meanwhile, fears of an all-out regional conflict are growing. Fighting along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, ramped up over the weekend. Israeli forces struck targets deep inside of Lebanon. Then this morning, Hezbolla fired missiles into Northern Israel. Both Israel and Hezbolla have been engaging in hostility since the war broke out in early October. But right now it seems like the scope of fighting is escalating, with both sides using more sophisticated and longer-range weapons. Bbc's Matt Bradley has more from Lebanon.

We've definitely seen over the last couple of days an increase in the violence across the border between Lebanon and Israel. Now, just this morning, Hezbolla said that it struck a military barracks inside Israel with twin missiles that were provided by Iran. Now these are long-range, sophisticated weapons, the Israelis, to their side, so that they launched attacks well inside Lebanon. Now, not the furthest they've been, but very, very far. Now, of course, the violence has been going on for the past several weeks. Ever since a day after those Hamas terror attacks on October seventh. Hezbolla started it by attacking some of the disputed region between Lebanon and Israel, saying they were launching those attacks in solidarity with Hamas. So we can't really say that this is an unprecedented level of violence over that border, but it does definitely represent an uptick in the sophistication and the range of the weapons that we're seeing being used. The Israelis are increasingly using fighter jets to attack targets belonging to Hezbolla and other militant groups here inside Lebanon, whereas Hezbolla is making increasing use of these Burqan missiles provided by the Iranians. And this is the capability that would dwarf even that of Hamas.

And that's why so many policymakers and people throughout the region are so focused on what's going on along the border between Israel and Lebanon, because the weapons that would be brought to bear would make this fight even worse than the one that we're seeing right now, raging in the Gaza Strip. Now, alongside this uptick and violence, we're also seeing more bellicose rhetoric on both sides. Actually, just recently we heard from Yoav Galan, he's the Minister of Defense of Israel. He said there actually is already a multi-front war that Israel is already fighting. Now, the fact of the matter is we are seeing a lot of violence. Nearly 80 Hezbolla fighters have already been killed, and less than 10 Israeli soldiers, it sounds like from their reports, have been killed. Now, this doesn't represent a war per se. It looks as though both sides, even while the fighting has been picking up, are showing some restraint. When we've been speaking to policymakers here in Beirut and elsewhere, the worry isn't necessarily that there would be a political will on either side to actually go to war, but that one side in this tit-for-tat violence could make a catastrophic mistake, and that would set off a domino effect, an increase in the violence to an unrestrained level, a full-on war that would resemble what this region saw back in 2006, when more than a thousand people were killed.

Most of them, civilians, most of them here in Lebanon. And that's something that everybody in this region, because it wouldn't just affect Lebanon, it would affect probably countries further afield, everybody in this region really wants to avoid.

Matt Bradley in Lebanon, thank you. It appears that some version of a gag order placed on former President Donald Trump will remain in place. That seemed to be the takeaway from an appeals court hearing this morning. Trump's lawyer argued that the gag order, which was imposed against him in the election interference case, is the, quote, essence of censorship and encroached on his first amendment rights, particularly his right to free speech while in the middle of a campaign. That is, of course, the first amendment. On the other side, special counsel Jack Smith's office with the Justice Department, he and his staff argue the gag order is necessary to prevent Trump from influencing and intimidating witnesses. A panel of three judges heard the case, and while no decision was made, the judges seem to be favoring some restrictions on Trump's speech.

We're months out from the trial. This is predictably going to intensify as well as the threats. And so why isn't the district court justified in taking a proactive measure, not waiting for more and more threats to actually occur and stepping in to protect the integrity of the trial.

Bbc news legal analyst Danny Civalos joins us now. Danny, in terms of this back and forth of the, You can't do this because it's going to restrict his first-minute rights. He has to campaign. We have heard that quite a few times as it relates to the former President and his legal troubles. What stood out to you in particular about what happened today? And looking ahead, we talked so much about how there are very few historical precedents for anything related to a former President and legal issues. But is there anything that you look back on legally and you think, Okay, maybe that gives us an indication as to who has the stronger case here?

Take a look at what the judge just said there. And there was also discussion at the bar today that look, I mean, you don't need to have to prove that somebody is in present immediate danger. You don't need to actually show somebody has been harmed. You just need to show, and this is the defense's argument, the test they want to apply that there's a clear and present danger. In other words, it is immediate and that somebody will be harmed in the future. But at the same time, the defenses are going, Well, this is a unique situation because every other criminal defendant that you've never heard of, when they speak, whether it's out their window or online, nobody really cares. Never in American history, never in American criminal history have you had a defendant who with just the Send button on his iPhone can change the course of the markets, the way people think and what people do. We may never have had a figure who can drive people to action the way Donald Trump did. And maybe, ironically, January sixth is one of the things he's charged with, driving people into action, into illegal action.

So that's why this is unprecedented. Gag orders, as they are with a defendant you've never heard of, are constitutionally suspect. They constitute prior restraint. They haven't been dealt with by the courts very much. Courts have dealt with lawyers, courts have dealt with the press. They've rarely dealt with individual-party defendants. So this is really unexplored ground to begin with, and you have a particular defendant that is unlike any other defendant in the history of American jurisprudence.

So what happens next here and what specifically will you be watching for?

I'll be watching for the circuit court's efforts to try to craft a gag order that begins to comply with the constitution. And by the way, there's nothing to say that the district court judge's order that she crafted wasn't constitutional. But I can tell you this. We're already seeing you start with the district court judge. It appears that the circuit court is going to modify her order, maybe make it a little less restrictive. But that alone should show you that if I got 20 judges in a room, gave them all the same briefing, all the same facts, and asked them all independently in their study carols with walls between them to craft their own gag order, we would have 20 completely different gag orders. You know that? I know that everybody out there knows that. Same with 20 legal analysts. You got us in a room, we'd all have a different opinion and lay people to anybody. That tells us that this is an area of the law that is highly, highly subjective. You can make an argument either way, and both arguments sound pretty darn good. It's actually getting down with a pen, a paper, a word processor, and actually crafting an order.

No matter what it is, the defense is going to try to appeal it because I think for them, the only good gag order is no gag. No gag.

Order at all. All right, Danny Civalos, thank you. We appreciate your time and insight as always. As judges hear these arguments in court, Trump continues to campaign, turning his attention now to the Southern border. The former President traveled to Texas over the weekend to visit National Guard soldiers and other officials on the US-Mexico border. Fellow Republican and Texas Governor Greg Abbot was also there to endorse Trump for the 2024 presidential race. Bbc's Garrett Hake has more.

Former President Trump at the Texas border Sunday. It's a job of security for our country. It's a job of stopping an invasion. The Republican frontrunners visit with service members highlighting his hawkish views on immigration, driving his 2024 campaign. The former President built his political brand as an immigration hardliner. Lately, ramping up his approach even further, promising draconian new policies, including conducting mass deport rates nationwide, enacting a new travel ban targeting majority Muslim countries, and imposing ideological screening on would-be immigrants and asylum seekers. We've got.

To have the.

Largest mass deport effort in history. We're going to be starting a media. All policies that could lead to battles with Congress and the courts over their constitutionality, but all designed to appeal to Conservatives like Texas Governor Greg Abbot, who endorsed Mr. Trump on Sunday. We need a President who's going to secure the border. It comes as even cities far from the border struggle with an influx of migrants, including some bust or flown north from Texas. Boston's Logan Airport housing migrants with Massachusetts shelters full, New York City slashing budgets for police and education as the city cares for some 65,000 migrants costing billions, and new migrants arriving in Chicago will be limited to 60-day shelter stays, no longer qualifying for rental assistance.

Garrett Hake, thank you. Don't go anywhere because we are just getting started and there's a lot more news to tell you about. Bill Karens has the forecast. This messy weather could make Thanksgiving travel an absolute nightmare. What you need to know ahead of the holiday.

If I hear that they're having problems, I go earlier. I mean, we travel all the time, and during COVID, we stopped. I'm one of those people who's doing... What's the expression? Covid? Not hangover, but we're traveling to makeup for all the time. We didn't. I'm not going to let... These things are headaches, but it's not going to stop me from traveling. Welcome back. Here are.

Some of the other headlines we're watching tonight. A federal appeals court ruled today that private citizens and groups like the NAACP cannot file lawsuits under a key part of the Voting Rights Act. The court says only the federal government can sue. It's a major blow in seven states where the legislation no longer stands. The decision is expected to go to the Supreme Court. Today, mourners in Mississippi gathered for the belated funeral of 37-year-old Dexter Wade. Back in March, Wade was struck and killed by an off-duty police officer and then buried without his family's knowledge. Reverend Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy, calling Wade's death a quote, national outrage.

If you think you can put him on a shelf and bury him and feel like he didn't exist and we wouldn't do nothing about it. You were sadly mistaken. His life maddened to his mama, to his daughters, and we going to make it mad all over.

This country. Sharpton has joined Wade's family and calling on the Justice Department to open a federal investigation. United Auto Workers announced today that employees at each of the big three US automakers officially ratified new contracts. The new contract will give union workers an immediate pay increase, reinstate cost of living adjustments, and to protect workers' rights to strike over plant closures. The new contract expires in 2028. Another round of free COVID tests are available for home delivery. Anyone who did not order a batch in September can now receive up to eight tests. All you have to do is go to covidest. Gov. And what better way to spend a birthday than pardoning turkeys? Well, that is exactly how President Biden celebrated his 81st birthday today, sparing Liberty and Bell from being someone's Thanksgiving dinner. The annual White House tradition has taken place for more than seven decades. The Thanksgiving travel rush is here. Millions of people are expected to hit the road in record numbers. Tsa is expecting to screen 30 million travelers. Aaa expects more than 55 million people to travel by road or skies. All of it making this the third busiest Thanksgiving travel season since 2000.

But storms moving east could cause major problems. With heavy rain and strong winds. Parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas were under a tornado watch today. Still, some travelers are hoping to beat the peak of the rush by heading out earlier, a trend that's been increasing.

We get out on a Monday and we come right back after before the crowds come.

Because I.

Used to work in travel, so I know we don't do this.

And BC news correspondent Morgan Chesky joins me now from Dallas, Lovefield Airport. Morgan, before people head out the door, what should they know about this year's TravelRush?

Yeah, Ellice, and they should know that they're going to have a lot of people that are going to be joining them, whether it be on the road or in the air. People already trying to get ahead of the holiday rush game here at Dallas Love Field, we've seen steady streams of people trying to get to that Thanksgiving destination before the massive crowds hit. We have specific dates people need to be aware of. Travel expected to peak tomorrow on Tuesday. Also on Wednesday, Thanksgiving, Eve, if you will. On that day alone, Wednesday, Dallas Love expected to see more than quadruple the number of travelers they typically see on an average weekday. Then people need to be prepared afterwards, this upcoming Sunday for another surge as people try to return home. Now, important to note here, especially on your way to Thanksgiving, the TSA is issuing a list of items that you should check or that you can theoretically carry on here. They say if you can spread it or spray it, you probably want to put that in a check bag. Better safe than sorry. But you can bring your Thanksgiving turkey if you want to.

Well, listen, you can also bring all the sides and stuffed through the TSA checkpoint and carry that on with you. They say if you're aware, you can help alleviate a lot of travel stress to keep those lines going as smoothly as possible because we know they're treating this as an all hands on deck approach with the anticipation of potentially the third or fourth busiest Thanksgiving travel season since the year 2000. Allison? Maybe bring a turkey.

On the plane, you might have to share it. Something to consider. But talk to us about logistics here, right, Morgan? Because there's been so much frustration really post-COVID with airports, airline delays, all of that. The federal government has gotten involved in the past. Have they said anything about how they're preparing for possible disruptions?

Yeah, they certainly have. It's been a strain on federal resources as they've tried to readapt to this surge in travelers coming out of the pandemic. Everyone feeling more comfortable, more able to get out, rather be taking a flight or getting on the roads. We did have a chance to hear from Transportation Secretary, Pete Boudigie, when he spoke to our colleague, Tom Costello, and here's what he had to say. If your flight gets canceled or significantly delayed for any reason, I want the traveling public to know that you are entitled to a full cash refund if you choose to take that refund rather than the rebooking. If you have trouble getting an airline to honor that agreement, that's where we can come in. Make sure to let us know. A good reminder for anyone taking to the skies this holiday season. Also a good reminder, Allison, make sure you have a text or email alert set that you can check on your specific flight because of the threat of severe weather. Flights could be impacted. There is nothing worse than leaving home, making the trip to the airport, only to realize that your flight has been pushed or canceled entirely and you have to go back to square one.

Allison. Lots of very good tips. Morgan Chesky, thank you. That severe weather moving east now includes threats of tornadoes in some areas. Look at this video, ominous dark clouds near Colfax, Louisiana. The National Weather Service as a tornado did touch down in Louisiana. Let's bring in NBA news meteorologist Bill Karens, who is keeping a close eye on that storm system that could impact this busy travel week. Bill?

Well, good evening, Ellison. We've been tracking dangerous storms all afternoon. Thankfully, no reports of any significant injuries or even why... We've had some widespread power outages. We know we've had a couple of isolated tornadoes, but we haven't had them hit anywhere. So that's fantastic. Well, we can deal with that. And hopefully that'll continue through the overnight hours, but there's still that potential for these nocturnal tornadoes. The area of greatest risk is going to shift from around Alexandria, where some of the strongest storms have been all day long, all afternoon and early evening, and now heading into Southern Mississippi. So this is the area when you go to bed tonight, make sure you have the alerts on and your phone on. If you have a weather radio, make sure it's on, because if you get any tornado warnings, you're going to want to know about it to get your family to safety. And then during the late overnight hours, some of these storms will make your way through New Orleans and Mobile. But again, the tornado threat is greatest into areas of central Mississippi. So as far as the hash lines, if we were to get a strong tornado, that means EF2 are stronger, so we go EF1 to 2 to 3 to three to four to five.

Fives are incredibly rare. But if we were to get an EF2 or stronger, it would likely be in this area of Mississippi. We still can get an isolated tornado even outside of that. So we're going to take this entire mess that's now in Louisiana and Mississippi, and we're going to bring it all through the East Coast on Tuesday. So tomorrow, by far the worst travel day of the next few heading up to Thanksgiving. This is paused at 8:00 PM. This is not a good time to be on the roads in Virginia, North Carolina, anywhere around Washington, D. C, Baltimore, Richmond, heading into Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Allentown, Scranton, the New York City area, Trenton, this is where the heavy rain will move through. It's not snow or ice, but it's going to pour. So it'll be very slow on the roads because A, the volume, and B, the weather conditions. Northern New England is going to start with a blast of snow, then going over to rain. So roads could be a little treacherous if you're doing any late night driving in areas of northern New England. By the time we get to Wednesday, though, notice it's almost all gone.

So Wednesday morning, a little bit for Boston down along the Coast of Long Island. But then by Wednesday afternoon, everything is gone. Should be just fine for all your travel needs. So this is how it looks at the airport. Possible impacts. I don't think we're going to get a lot of cancelations, but we'll definitely have delays. Charlotte, Raleigh, Richmond, Washington, D. C, BMI heading up to the Baltimore area, all of the New York City airports, especially Tuesday evening, Hartford to Boston. That would again be late Tuesday into the overnight hours. Then all these airports will improve dramatically. And of course, if you're going to be driving on the roads, we mentioned how slow it will be with the pouring rain, it'll get better in Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, as we go throughout the day. And then as we go through Wednesday, the rainfall amounts, it may be about one to two inches. So this is going to be a hefty rain, even some localized flooding. As far as snow goes, you have to be up here in the Adirondacks, the white or the green mountains of Vermont, the white mountains of New Hampshire, and then any of the mountains in Maine, that's where we're going to have some significant snow, even enough to shovel and have to plow as we go throughout.

It looks like Tuesday night and then during the day on Wednesday, Thanksgiving Day, not many problems unless you're in the mountainous areas of Wyoming and Idaho. Friday looks great, Eastern half of the country. So it's really just getting there. And then getting home looks fantastic. Even Saturday looks no problems whatsoever. They say Sunday is going to be the busiest travel day, Ellison, of them all. And I don't have a lot of issues on this map for anyone. I don't think the airports are going to have any problems. So we just have to get through the rest of tonight with no tornado damage, fingers crossed, and also all that rain tomorrow.

Bill, Karen, thank you. If you are one of the millions of Americans choosing to drive this Thanksgiving, remember to drive safely. Nearly 43,000 traffic deaths occur in the US every year and speed is a major factor, but it's different for our neighbors to the north. In Canada, that number is fewer than 2,000. Why are the numbers so different? Scott Friedmann with our Dallas affiliate headed north for some potentially life-saving lessons.

On the roads in Dallas, another deadly morning rush hour commute. Deadly crashes around the city reported. So often they start to seem normal.

18-wheeler cubs crashing over the highway.

Driving here. Look at this SUV. Oh, my gosh. It can feel like you're caught in a drag race. A guy in the left-hand lane just.

Flying here. Look at this.

We clock cars on roads with a history of high-speed crashes. Rainwater tried to tie up their cars and saw extreme speeds. 100 and lane two, 112. Almost 50 miles an hour over the limit. And on city streets, we saw freeway speeds. 63 right here. We analyzed federal data and found over five years. Dallas had the highest traffic fatality rate among America's 10 largest cities, and speed was the number one factor in deadly wrecks.

The numbers are too high. And now my mom is one of those numbers.

Reina Salazar was heading home from work when police say a teenager who had been drinking slammed into her at high speed.

That's been the hardest part. It's learning to come into terms with the fact that she's no longer here.

On this residential Dallas Street, witnesses say driver punched his accelerator, crashing into Max Km's SUV, breaking his sternum, shattering his wrist. That is one thing I do remember is the high RPM as he was hitting me. I can still hear that sound. You have to make a choice of whether it's more important to save lives or to facilitate fast car traffic. Road safety researcher David Zipper says part of the problem is road design. Wide straight lanes that give a false sense it's safe to drive fast. They're driving that fast because they feel like the road is inviting them to do that. Zipper points to Canadian and European cities with lower death rates, narrower lanes to slow drivers, and intersections rebuilt to protect people. To see, we went to Edmonton, Canada. -everybody stops. -yeah, everybody stops. -for us. -everybody stops for us.

So it's so safe for you. There is no conflict between pedestrian and vehicle.

In Edmonton, people cross some roads diagonally as traffic lights stop cars in all directions and prohibit right-hand turns on red. Edmonton is also removing traffic lanes and installing speed calming devices that narrow streets. Just the narrowing of the road by this curb extension just makes people a little bit more subconscious or conscious about, Okay, I better slow down. By population, the city of Dallas is 18 % bigger than Edmonton, but last year it had 228 traffic deaths compared to Edmonton's 14. After Edmonton adopted a Vision Zero safety plan in 2015, including automated speed enforcement, traffic deaths dropped 50 % and injuries 30 %. Lessons that might help more cities. Look at how fast that guy just passed us. Slow down and save lives. Scott Friedmann, BBC News, Dallas.

Coming up, a mysterious illness is spreading in dogs, and it could be deadly. What vets are saying to keep your pup safe? But first, you've got to see this harrowing footage from a helicopter rescue off the Coast of Florida. A Coast Guard aircrew responded to a sailboat's distress signal. The boat's porthole was knocked out by a wave, flooding the inside with water and knocking out the electric systems. The couple put on life jackets as well as a mini one for their dog and waited for help. Thankfully, they were scooped up in the rescue basket and brought to safety. Medics say all three are in good health. We'll be right back. Welcome back. Here are some of the stories happening out west that we're following. A critical section of the 10 freeway in Los Angeles has reopened way ahead of schedule. The mile long portion had been closed since November 11th after a massive fire damaged the columns holding it up. Initial estimates had the freeway reopening in about a month. Then last week, California governor, Gavin Newsom, said it would open to traffic by tomorrow. Turns out even that projection wasn't ambitious enough. With the governor, L.

A. 'S mayor and the vice president on hand, lanes reopened in both directions yesterday evening, just in time for Thanksgiving travel. It's a stunning fall from Grace for Cruz, the driverless car subsidiary of General Motors. Last night, the company announced the resignation of CEO, Kyle Voit. It comes after about a month after Cruz pulled its cars off of the roads nationwide following a slew of accidents, and the California DMV suspending its permit to operate cars in that state. And here's something you do not see every day, a tornado touching down in Arizona. The rare moment was caught on video yesterday as it cut a path the length of a football field. The damage was pretty severe in some places. Thankfully, local officials say no one was hurt.

And.

We're following breaking news in Hawaii, where a US Navy plane overshot a runway at a marine base there, landing in a bay. A marine spokesperson confirmed the incident. Sources are telling our NBC affiliate in Hawaii that nine people were on board and that they all made it safely to shore. Right now it is not clear what caused this aircraft to go into the water. We're going to keep following this and we will bring you updates on it as soon as we get them. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter died Sunday at the age of 96. She went into hospice care at her Georgia home this past Friday. She was diagnosed with dementia in late May. Bbc News is Blaine Alexander has more on her legacy and her life's work. The former first lady was 96 years old when she died on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by her family and those who loved her dearly. She had just entered hospice care on Friday after being diagnosed with dementia earlier this year. Now, her love story with the former President is truly one for the ages. Now she's being remembered as a fierce humanitarian with a beautiful, caring spirit.

From the Georgia governor's mansion to the White House to her years of.

Global.

Humanitarian work, former first Lady Rosalynn Carter dedicated her life to public service and to her beloved husband, former President, Jimmy Carter, all while blazing trails in her own right. This morning, the former President is remembering his wife and best friend of nearly 80 years. Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalyn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me. Now tributes are pouring in from every corner of the globe.

The President and First Lady.

Writing, Rosalyn did so much to address many of society's greatest needs. We always felt her hope, warmth, and optimism.

It's now my pleasure to introduce someone whom I love and respect and cherish, my wife Rosalyn.

The Carter's story marriage stretched more than 77 years, longer than any other first couple in history. Born Eleanor Rosalyn Smith in Plains, Georgia, she grew up next door to the future President, who was three years her senior.

He graduated from high school and left home at 16. I was 13.

He was way beyond my reach. They married in 1946 and became life partners in everything from the peanut farms of Georgia all the way to the White House, where she was influential on the campaign to get there.

Then people got to know him, and when they know him, they vote boy. Thank you both.

Very much.

She's completely objective and unbiased. I love politics.

Mrs. Carter would often attend cabinet meetings and became the first, first lady to hold an office in the East Wing. I talk to him.

About what is happening, and I give him advice and he doesn't always follow it.

She used her position to champion her own causes, a fierce advocate for mental health and better care for the elderly. The Carters continued that work when they left the White House founding the Carter Center more than 40 years ago. And in 1999, they were each awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.

I think now is one of the.

Happiest times of my life.

There is life after the... The death is the death of the wife.

There are three days of tribute set aside to honor the former first lady, including here in Atlanta at the Carter Center and in their beloved Plains, Georgia, where she will be laid to rest.

Back to you.

Plain, Alexander. Thank you. Now, for an important alert, if you have a four-legged friend in your life, there's an unknown illness making dogs across the country pretty sick. On the surface, it's similar to Kenelkough. It starts with a cough, loss of appetite, and a fever. But this sickness can last for weeks and become incredibly serious. Veterinarians say the mystery infection can lead to pneumonia, hospitalization, and even death. Liz Croyd has more on how you can keep your pet healthy.

Some dogs become so sick that they need to be put on oxygen. We are using our isolation ward heavily with all of these infections.

As researchers continue to investigate what's behind the unusual illness.

Vets are now.

Encouraging dog.

Owners to exercise caution.

Where we're seeing these cases come from in our hospital are from dogs that have been boarding facilities or a dog daycare. With the holidays coming up, people being more inclined to board their dogs as they go on vacation, as they go see family. I am worried about it getting much worse. To keep your pets healthy, experts say to.

Avoid boarding your dog if you're traveling this holiday.

Welcome back. Let's take a quick look around the world. Off the Coast of Yemen, Iranian-backed Huthi insurgents conducted a helicopter raid targeting a cargo ship in the Red Sea. Israel says the vessel was British-owned and Japanese-operated. The Huthis confirmed they had seized a ship, but described it as an Israeli ship. This follows recent threats by the Huthis, an ally of Iran against Israeli ships. Now to Ukraine. Us Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made a surprise visit to the country today, reinforcing the US' commitment to that region.

This message I bring you the message that I think is that the.

United States.

Of America is with you.

We.

Will remain with you through the long haul.

Austin's visit comes as the Pentagon announced there's an additional $100 million in military aid for Ukraine. Now let's head to Argentina. There, a new president was voted into office. Javier Melee, an economist turned TV icon, won the presidency with nearly 56% of the vote. He ran on a platform that promised radical economic reforms, including controversial changes like adopting the US dollar. This all is happening as unprecedented inflation levels plague Argentina's currency, all of it setting up the possibility of a truly historic overhaul for the nation's economic landscape. Finally, Miss Universe, 23-year-old Shanez Pallacious, soared to victory on Sunday night, securing the crown while championing mental health advocacy and pay equality. Pallacious is the first woman from Nicaragua to receive the crown. New details are being revealed about Israel's use of drone warfare to target Hamas. Bbc news, foreign correspondent Kierce Simmons got an exclusive look inside that operation.

This is the impact of what Locals say, was an Israeli drone strike inside a West Bank building where five Palestinians were killed Friday. Among the dead, a man Israel suspected of terrorism, Israeli officials and multiple Palestinian witnesses told us. But also killed, Locals said, was a.

15-year-old boy and.

A bystander. Bbc News got rare access inside an Israeli drone command center. Two active.

Duty.

Pilots agreeing to talk to us. They asked to conceal their identities because they are classified. One says a friend is among those kidnapped by Hamas in its terror attacks. War is terrible. It's filled with chaos. And when the other side, Hamas, is using civilians as human shields, it makes our jobs a hundred times worse. The Israel Defense Forces gave us exclusive clips of drone videos where they say pilots chose to call off strikes because of civilians close by. I see children, a voice says over grainy images. We're leaving this target. We're constantly speaking about the children's at-scene and whoever gets into our picture and why we have to abort airstrikes and call off airstrikes. There will be people watching, listening to you saying, but I'm seeing children killed every day. We see that as well. Hamas trains all day and night so that we do hit civilians. Sometimes they have the upper hand. When it happens, we as IDF soldiers take it very hardly. But it's not only Hamas targeted by Israel with these controversial weapons. We filmed at the funeral following Friday's drone strike in the West Bank. The strike killed, Israel says, a senior terrorist from another Palestinian militant group.

It also enraged the.

People we saw here. His death by drone made him a hero to these people, a martyr.

He died for all of us.

One of this crowd told me. Israel says he was responsible for trying to kill Israeli soldiers and civilians and was planning an imminent attack on Israel. During the funeral, a drone flew overhead. There's no safe place, this man told us, They just killed with cold blood, close by, children carrying flags. Then an older man starts to chant, encouraging a crowd around us. We will keep resisting, he shouts.

Before we go, it is time for The Future of Everything. Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and now hundreds of employees, they're threatening to quit because of it. That's just ahead. So stay tuned. A major shake up in the world of artificial intelligence today. This guy, Sam Altman, is now set to lead the new artificial intelligence team at Microsoft. Just a few days after OpenAI's board of directors arrested him as their CEO. Now, hundreds of OpenAI employees are threatening to quit and possibly join Microsoft unless Altman is reinstated and all current board members resign. Joining us now is BBC News technology correspondent Jake Ward. Jake, there is no one better to talk to anything about artificial intelligence with other than you. Break this down for us. What is the big headline here in terms of behind the scenes? Why did OpenAI fire Altman to begin with?

Well, I think that the headline is definitely, Allison, shock in the world of AI. Up until Thursday night, nobody except these board members seems to have known that this was their plan, firing Sam Altman, one of the most popular, best-known, and frankly, among his employees and across the wider tech world, one of the most beloved tech people around. Nobody seemed to have any idea that his job was in any danger. I mean, one thing to remember is that Sam Altman was one of the... He ran something called Y Combinator, which gave rise to companies like Airbnb and Dropbox. I mean, there was almost nobody better connected across Silicon Valley than this guy. And up until Thursday night, he was speaking to APEC. He was speaking to world leaders and podcasters about his plans for the future. He had no idea this was coming. And so when the board fired him, we were shocked. I thought I was going into a quiet weekend and everybody was taken by surprise. They said in their very vague communication that they had not had consistently candid communications with him and that they had lost confidence in his ability to lead OpenAI.

Now, OpenAI is a nonprofit that holds the for-profit company that Sam Alman run inside it. And this board of nonprofit, the board of the nonprofit doesn't really interact with the rest of the company by all accounts. They're this almost academic advisory board. And so for them to come out and suddenly fire this guy as quickly as they did, set off an absolute explosion across the.

Tech community, Allison. What do you make of the reaction from OpenAI employees?

Well, what's so interesting is to see how fiercely they came out against this. So over the course of the weekend, there was a lot of conversation about possibly bringing Sam Alman back. And a letter began circulating addressed to the board by these staff members. And at this point, Allison, more than 650 of them, that's about 85 % of the company, have signed on to it. It says in part, that they need to resign. The board members who made this decision need to resign and they need to bring Sam Alman back. They need to install a couple of his allies as board members. And if they don't do that, then they say they are going to jump ship or at least exercise that option. So a big and very angry reaction internally from the OpenAI staff.

So in terms of Microsoft and this new team, what do we know about that?

Well, this is the crazy part, right? We thought maybe there was going to be some question of maybe him coming back as CEO. But suddenly, as of about midnight local time last night, suddenly he announces that he is joining Microsoft. He's going to run, supposedly, a new research AI lab inside the company. And here's the thing to just keep in mind. When you look at, for instance, Satya Nadella put out this very polite tweet welcoming him and so forth. But you have to assume that that guy was running around the halls with no shirt on, as excited as you could possibly be. This is like the biggest Monday Satya Nadella has probably ever had. He put $13 billion into being just partners with OpenAI. Now he gets to hire its leader essentially for free and bring on conceivably hundreds of people from inside OpenAI. Microsoft's stock price lost about $10 billion worth of value on the day that Sam Altman was fired. Today, it hit its highest share price value in the history of the company. If anybody's excited about what's happening here, it's Satin and Della for his ability to maybe absorb everything he wanted out of OpenAI to begin with, Allison.

All right, Jake, we're out of feeling you will have a busy Tuesday as well. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Okay, that does it for us tonight. I'm Ellison Barber. We will see you tomorrow. But until then, stay tuned to now.
