00:42Israel's cabinet has approved a cease-fire deal for Gaza that could signal the end of
00:4715 months of fighting in the Strip.
00:49The deal comes into effect on Sunday.
00:52It will see dozens of hostages held by Hamas released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners
00:57from Israeli prisons.
01:00The deal also allows thousands of displaced Palestinians to return to the remains of their
01:04homes in Gaza.
01:07Israel delayed a vote on the deal on Thursday, blaming a last-minute dispute with Hamas.
01:12Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement
01:17in an attempt to gain further concessions.
01:20Hamas triggered the war with its attack on Israel in October 2023 that killed 1,200 people
01:26and saw 250 others taken hostage.
01:31Israel responded with a devastating offensive that's killed over 46,000 Palestinians.
01:42At least four people have been killed in a Russian airstrike on the central Ukrainian
01:46city of Krivi Ria.
01:48Three women and a man were killed in the attack, which partially destroyed an educational institution
01:53and damaged nearby residential buildings.
01:56There are no words, no justification.
02:02What justification?
02:04This is genocide against peaceful educational institutions.
02:12According to the regional military administration, a further 14 people, including four children,
02:17were injured in the strike.
02:20Krivi Ria has a population of around 660,000 and is the hometown of President Volodymyr
02:26Zelensky.
02:28In his nightly video address, he said if Ukraine had been provided with the air defense systems
02:33he's asked for, the missile that hit the city would have been intercepted.
02:41Thousands of protesters have rallied outside Serbia's state television building in Belgrade
02:46to protest against what they call the broadcaster's pro-government bias.
02:50The demonstration is part of wider protests across the country since a concrete canopy
02:55collapsed at Novi Sad railway station last November, killing 15 people.
03:00Protesters say they're angry that RTS is reporting President Aleksandar Vucic's claims that they
03:05were paid by foreign agents to overthrow his government.
03:09The protesters were silent for 15 minutes in memory of each of the canopy collapse victims.
03:15Many in Serbia blame the collapse on government corruption that led to sloppy renovation
03:19work at the station building.
03:21The incident has become a flashpoint for broader dissatisfaction with what the protesters see
03:26as Vucic's increasingly autocratic rule.
03:29Friday's rally comes a day after a student was seriously injured when a driver rammed
03:34his car into a crowd of protesters in Belgrade.
03:42U.S. President Joe Biden won't enforce a ban on TikTok that's set to take effect a day
03:47before he leaves office.
03:49Press Secretary Karen Jean-Pierre cited timing as the reason for passing responsibility to
03:54the incoming Trump administration.
03:57That comes after a unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court to uphold a federal law banning
04:01TikTok on Sunday unless it's sold by its China-based parent company.
04:06The court ruling held that the risk to national security posed by ByteDance's ties to China
04:11overcomes concerns about limiting speech.
04:15In an interview with CNN shortly after the court's decision, President-elect Donald Trump
04:19wouldn't say what he intended to do.
04:22Trump previously said he has a warm spot for TikTok, saying that the app helped him tap
04:26into a younger voter base to win the 2024 election.
04:31But it was Trump who initially spearheaded efforts to have it banned on national security
04:35grounds in 2020.
