dioxide that could cause breathing difficulties. and the other thing we're watching, other eyes on qatar because the deal or the truce between israel and hamas was delayed. meant to happen today. apparently happening tomorrow. we're waiting for confirmation from qatar. more on that in the coming hour. thank you for joining me. have a wonderful thanksgiving. "cnn this morning" starts right now. happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate. five things to know, israel says is that hamas hostages won't be released until tomorrow, but we could get word from qatar on where the truce will begin. >> and so it means another agonizing day for the families of the hostages who are waiting. a source says that the u.s. is working on a list of who will be released first. jamie foxx is being sued for sexual assault and battery that happened at a restaurant in 2015. and a fiery explosion shuts down a border crossing between the u.s. and canada after a speeding bentley hit a median and burst into flames. driver and his wife killed, but the fbi says it was not terrorism. and officials say there are no specific threats around the macy's thanksgiving day parade, but they wash rn of a heightene threat environment. snoopy and the gang will kick off the festivities in about 2 1/2 hours. "cnn this morning" starts right now. we begin with team coverage from tel aviv to cairo to the white house, release of hostages in gaza has been delayed this morning and right now we're tracking fast moving developments about when it may actually happen. qatar is getting ready to announce when the four day truce will start. >> israeli officials are saying that the pause in fighting and relooef lease of hostages won't start until at least tomorrow. diplomatic source says earliest timing would be midnight local time.until at least tomorrow. diplomatic source says earliest timing would be midnight local time. and we're told the biden administration has a working list of ten hostages that could be let go in this deal. and meantime the fighting continues to to rage in gaza. israeli troop, tanks and drones still striking target hs ahead the truce. >> and part of the deal is allowing more humanitarian aid into gaza. and this morning we're seeing convoys of trucks loaded with supplies lining up at the border crossing in egypt. qatar says its prime minister spoke with the secretary of state antony blinken on the phone today to talk about steps to implement the truce again. so let's begin our coverage with or en lieberman. what do we know about the release and when the truce begins? >> reporter: it is important to stay right at the top that even if there is a delay in the implementation of the agreement, in no way does it mean the agreement and pause in the fighting, release of the hostages as fallen apart. it is every expectation that that moves forward. the question is when temperature it was expected to happen today until we got the notification from the israel security council that it won't happen before tomorrow. they are working on the final details. after the pause in the fighting and hostage release begins, hostages will be transferred from hamas to the red cross and then the red cross will transfer them either through rafah in the south or straight into israel. from there, they will be transferred into the arms of the idf. for those who are released younger than 12, their families will meet them as quickly as possible. for those released above 12 years old, they will meet their families at the hospital. so taking them as quickly as possible to several designated hospitals for immediate treatment and gee valuation to see how they were doing and begin the process of recovery.v see how they were doing and begin the process of recovery. theories of course so many still waiting for the group of 50 and that still leaves more than 190 for their hostages and families waiting for word how this plays out. >> and we're also learning that the idf may have arrested the director of al-shifa hospital. what more do we know about this? >> reporter: we learn this had a short time ago and we're waiting for more detail, but we know from the ministry of health in gaza that the director of al-shifa hospital, largest hospital in gaza, was arrested earlier today. we don't have a specific confirmation of that from the idf, but a spokesman who came on our air says that it is logical that needs to be questioned. what charges he is held under, how long he will be questioned or detained for or whether he will be held for a longer period, all of that unclear. we are pressing for answers at this point. al-shifa hospital of course not only one of the last hospitals to remain functioning where premature babies were treated and thousands taking shelter there, and also the idf efforts after they found a tunnel shaft and working to uncover more tunnels as we speak. >> oren, thank you very much. we'll be joined shortly by a spokesperson for the idf, so key questions on that ahead. appreciate the reporting. a large convoy of aid trucks has lined up on standby for when the truce begins. eleni giokos is joining us from cairo. what do we know about the aid trucks? this was a big part of the negotiation, how many hundreds would be allowed in per day. >> reporter: we understand over 200 aid trucks will be allowed in per day and we've been seeing the activity the last 24 hours going toward the rafah border. our sources on the ground are telling us that the trucks that are loaded with tons and tons of food and water and other medical supplies will be absolutely ne needed. we've been hearing how doctors have been embarking on surgerie harrowing stories. and international area agencies are saying that they are running out of water and food. and of course an important part is getting fuel into gaza. we have seen some fuel go into keep the hospitals running. the idf have time and time again said if fuel enters gad za and into the hands of hamas, that is a big risk. but it goes to the aid organizations and they decide how they will distribute it. >> and speaking of aid organizations, red cross saying that it is unaware of any deal that would allow the organization to visit hostages in gaza. important to point out this is not what we heard from benjamin netanyahu yesterday. i want to play his words quickly. >> translator: the agreement achieved does not include the release of murderers and it does include the agreement of the red cross representatives to visit the hostages and transfer of medication. >> any further clarification on this disconnects? >> reporter: there is a huge disconnects because the international committee of the red kroocross says they are una of any such agreement. irrc says if the agreement is made, they would be happen to step in and assist. they have not been a part the negotiations but they did help facilitate the release of other hostages earlier last month. so this is annualis an importan distinction. we know qataris, israel, hamas and egyptians are very involved over what we've seen coming through. the aid organizations say they have not been sure about the amount of aid, where it will go, what safety routes will be created. so the potential of the red cross being able to visit hostages would really be a big move, a big move in the right direction for the hostages that have been trapped inside of gaza. and frankly, we haven't heard much news about the status, their health, whether they require medicine. but hopefully we'll be getting more on that. but the irrc say they will step in if and when needed. >> all right. appreciate it. and for more on the white house reaction, mj lee is joining us live. what more are we hearing from the white house? >> reporter: the white house says the deal is still on even though final logistical details are still being figured out. spokesperson saying that we are hopeful that the implementation will begin friday morning. what a senior u.s. official tells me is that more time was needed to iron out details like leaks location of the hostages and also moving those hostages. and i'm told that the u.s. consulted and agreed with the decision to delay the release by at least a day. with regards to the idea that hamas has yet to produce a list of the first ten or so hostages to be released on day one, i'm told that that is not a serious issue as of right now. but that it would be more worrisome if wasn't a list produced by tonight. >> and you have new reporting this morning on the working list of hostages, what the white house believes is going to happen the first round of ten. >> reporter: yeah, i'm told the u.s. has a working list of sorts for the hostages to be leased on the first day. that is about 10 hostages that we're talking about here and it is really based on the initial ten names of people rather that hamas had given in the earlier stages of the negotiations. i corrected myself and said not names because that information was never given by hamas as we have been reporting. information like age and nationality and gender, that is the information that we have been working with so far. what we don't know critically is any of the three americans that we've been talking about would be among the first released on the first day. so that includes 3-year-old abigail. and we're also told that the first two days is seen as a testing period. they want to see if everything can be implemented, if the hostage release can go correctly. and then day three, that is when negotiations and talks are expected to pick up again to see who could be released after the women and children are out of gaza. so we're talking about elderly men, foreign national men, and then voice the soldiers that are being held hostage in gaza, those are the most difficult people to be negotiated out of gad. >> mj, appreciate the reporting. thank you. and as we do wait for more detail on when hostages will be released, we'll ask those questions specifically to a spokesperson from the israel defense forces. try to get a better picture of what is happening with the delay. and also a car plows in to a border crossing right near niagara falls. it ignited and international incident. why officials say it was a traffic disaster and not a terror attack. as the word ld waits for th releeftsase of the hostages, netanyahu is phrasinge praisinge deal. >> translator: first effort is massive military pressure. on hamas. i'd like to praise the idf and s shinbat inned to create the pressure. >> first group won't be released up friday at the earliest. an official telling cnn this temporary truce has beaeen delad until friday. colonel peter lerner is joining us. the prime minister had also said wednesday that the red cross would be allowed into visit hostages to bring in any needed medications. the red cross saying that it has not been made aware of any agreement to allow the red cross into visit with hostages. is there an agreement in place and has anyone spoken to the red cross? >> i would like to say that indeed the international community of red cross would be engaged in addressing and assisting the well-being of the hostages. we've been saying that for seven weeks and that is what needs to be done and they also need to be a part of the process of the release and of the assessment of the not being released. and that is the expectation and that is what netanyahu reflected last night. >> and you say that is the expectation. but what we hear from the red cross, there is no communication specifically with the organization about this plan. >> gentleman confirm that. that is not really within the realm of my responsibilities. but i think that that is the clear expectation from the israel. >> you can confirm for us that there are reports that the director of the al-shifa hospital was arrested? he was arrested perhaps with other doctors. was he in fact arrested? >> i can't confirm that. i have seen report that's has been detained. of course after the revelations and cnn broadcasted it extensively over the last couple of days but even more so last night with a huge tunnel system beneath the hospital, i think in are questions that need to be asked of this individual. and reality is that he denied that they existed throughout the last six week, he has been denying it. and obviously the reality is very different from what he said. so i think without confirming that he has been detained at this time, it just -- it is reasonable that he should answer some questions. >> so is if your belief that he was aware of these tunnels that you have said have been found? >> i don't know for say at this time. we've seen throughout the last six weeks that he denied any hamas presence or tunnels around and beneath the hospital. we have approhave proven time a again and yesterday the steexte the huge donetunnel network tha exists. so i expect that he is being questioned in order to clarify exactly what he did or didn't know. he may not have had a choice. he may have been intimidated by hamas. he may have known. reality proves that wasn't on top of things or he was hiding something. so i can't confirm that he was detained, but reasonable to suggest that there are some questions. he said to the world media that no tunnels existed. which is proven to be wrong. >> and you don't believe that the tunnels would be there without his knowledge? >> i find it very hard to believe that the magnitude of this network that exists beneath his own foot steps could be there without the general manager knowing. >> in terms of the magnitude of the tunnels, there has been limited controlled access to journalists. cnn among them. the i dididf has released addit video. and there is talk of a command center. is there more evidence specifically of a command center that you have that can be released? >> as we released yesterday, the more extensive information of hundreds of meters of tunnels that go in every which way beneath the compound and beneath the complex, connecting buildings, escape routes from the buildings, the videos that clearly show the hamas terrorists coming into the hos hospital, there is so much incriminating evidence that we know that the utilization of the protected area of the hospital in contravention of all human standards and norms, it implies exactly what we've been saying throughout the last seven weeks now about the shifa hospital. but not only about shifa. the entire concept of operation. every single hospital we've found there is infrastructure, weapons, explosive, rpgs, communications equipment, all taking place from in and around hospitals. this is the modis operandi of a merciless terror organization. not only merciless against the israelis that have been abducted, but also the people of gaza. >> colonel peter lerner, thank you for joining us. >> good day and happy thanksgiving. and a catastrophic crash triggers a security scare near niagara falls. two people killed. why

comcast business. powering possibilities. we're learning more this morning about the rainbow bridge explosion near niagara falls wednesday which triggered major concerns at the u.s. c/canadian border. the fbi and new york's governor says it was not a terrorist act but a tragic incident. athena jones is in buffalo. so not terror, what was it? >> reporter: well, they believe it was nothing more than a tragic accident. this car traveling at a high rate of speed through the border crossing. and it happened at a time of increased concerns about terrorism with law enforcement officials in some areas already in a heightened state of alert. what was remarkable about this incident was the speed with which the fbi was able to conclude this investigation, finding that the massive explosion was not a nefarious act. >> at this time there is no indication of a terrorist attack. >> reporter: new york's governor trying to piece together for the public what happened when a car crash the into a secondary border checkpoint at the u.s./canada border causing the shutdown of four land crossings on one of the busiest travel days of the year. in video of the incident provided by law enforcement, you can see a car driving at an extreme rate of speed and jumping a curb and barrier. >> i see something airborne. first thought it was an airplane. looked like slow motion. and i said my god, it is a car. and it is a vehicle and it is flying through the air. >> reporter: authorities believe the car involved in the explosion was a 2022 bentley. sources say the car coming from the u.s. side of the border on the rainbow bridge went through an initial checkpoint just before noon. passports and licenses were checked before the car was directed to another area for a secondary search. after the car went through the secondary checkpoint, an explosion occurred. authorities are investigating. >> this vehicle basically incinerated. nothing is left but the engine. the pieces are scattered over 13, 14 booths. so it is a large scene. >> reporter: authorities have not identified the driver, but law enforcement sources say the driver was a man traveling to canada with his wife to attend a concert by the rock group kiss. they went to a casino in the u.s. instead when that was canceled. the crash occurred sometime after the couple left the casino. the couple died in the accident. a border patrol employee in a booth was also injured. the fbi could be cluded the investigation saying no ties to terrorism or explosive material was found. >> we feel at this point that this might be just something that occurred. there is no larger picture here to look at. >> reporter: all movement between the u.s. and canada halted for hours leaving holiday travelers stuck. >> we came here hoping to see the falls. we walk would over. our car is actually in new york right now. >> reporter: the rainbow bridge where the accident took place remains closed while three other crossings have reopened. >> can't go home. so i don't know how long it will last. >> reporter: so frightening few hours here on the eeve of thanksgiving. but no links to terrorism and the case is being turned over to local police as a traffic investigation. >> athena, thank you. and in a couple hours those huge balloons will fly high above new york city for the 97th annual macy's thanksgiving day parade. officials there say no big security concerns this year. there is an abundance of preparation still under way. brynn gingras is joining us at the start of the parade route. you are so lucky. i think that is one of the best assignments on thanksgiving. what can you tell us? >> reporter: it totally is. happy thanksgiving. yeah, no credible threats to new york city or this events in particular according to law enforcement who gave us a big briefing about all the security measures that they are taking for today's big day. but you can already see some of the measures. this is not very different from what we've seen in the past. you can see all the nypd people here getting ready, getting their overview of where they will be throughout the parade route. we've already seen sanitation trucks blocking some of the points of entries to the parade route. we saw an esu truck just drive in. so a number of measures that we see and also of course the ones that we don't see. new york city has been in a heightened threat environment. so intelligence has said that there has been more, you know, online calls for violence. so there are people behind the creeps working to make sure that the parade goes out without a hitch as it has done for so much years. so the people here, about 3.5 million people who come out to this parade can enjoy it safely. >> and including the giant turkey behind you and the new balloons this year. happy thanksgiving. thank you so much. delay in the hostage release really averaging upoig up the anxiety for so many families. they want to see their loved ones. up next, you will hear from the mother of a 12-year-old and 16-year-old kidnapped on october 7. and also ahead for us, our sitdown with the nba legend doc rivers on his remarkable journey and what he learned along the way. . >> i got it wrong. i thought you just coached basketball. and then i realized, no, you cocoach life.. we're standing by for a press conference by the qatari minister of foreign affairs. qatar says that they would announce the timing of the truce within a matter of hours so we're monitoring the developments. again, we're expecting the press conference to start shortly. as we wait, veof course this iss the families of the hostages continue to wait enduring yet another agonizing day. hadas had two of her children kidnapped along with her ex-husband. clarissa ward spoke with her. >> tell me what you are going through now. are you hopeful, are you anxious, are you in denial? >> i smile, i laugh, i cry and then i -- >> do you know anything, have you heard anything? >> nobody knows anything. nobody. nobody. no information. i have to pray. we there have to pray. i don't want to think or feel. it is too painful. when they start to ask me like you show me the picture of your child, tell me one last thing he told you. it break my heart because the last thing he told me was mom, be quite. i love you. he was worried for me. when you think of your babies coming home and are part of the release, do you worry about how they will be changed? >> they are changed. they won't be the same. they got -- they were kidnapped, ripped away from their house, from a safe place. they kidnapped the innocent. >> joining us now is middle east director of international community organization, they played a key role in the negotiations to release israeli soldiers in 2011. thank you so much. why do you believe that there is this delay? >> i hope that it is over technical logistical issues. if they are, they can be resoefled. maybe that is what the deputy foreign minister of qatar will be telling us. i hope it is not something more substantial that would require a much longer delay. i've heard some things i would rather not talk about. i want to hope that this will be resolved now. >> with those things that you heard, i understand you may not want to get into details, but it raise concerns for that you this deal may not in fabts go in fac effect? >> i think the deal will take effect. it has to. this is low hanging fruit, this is a no-brainer. this is a deal that should have been made weeks ago and can be made today, tomorrow or the next day. i don't think hamas has any real interest in holding the women, children, elderly, sick, wounded. israel has women and teenage prisoners that it can release without a tremendous isk to israel. they are all from the west bank. none have murdered israelis although some tried. it is a deal that is doable and has to be done. because we have to bring the hostages home. >> why do you think it is that the u.s. has working list with some of the details of ten first hostages planned to be released but not names? israel released the list yesterday of 300 palestinian prisoners that it would be willing to exchange. why would hamas not put the names out? >> that is the way hamas works. they leave everything to the last minute. they leave you hanging and wondering. it is part of the game that they play manipulating everyone else who is involved. it is part of the torture they are putting the israeli public through as we heard from that mother and if you don't want to cry from listening to that, then you are not human. >> you are 100% right on that. there is this confusion frankly this morning about the red cross. we spoke with the idf. we're not getting any answers after benjamin netanyahu said it was part of the deal that the red cross would be going in, they would be visiting with hostages. the red cross this morning says they haven't been made aware of any agreement. does that surprise you? >> nothing surprise me. of course the red cross wants to go in, that is their mission. they go into danger zones. they are not participants in any conflict. they are completely neutral. and they are the best ones do the job of receiving hostages and transferring prisoners and going to see hostages. but can't do it without agreement of hamas. i'm sure that this was a demand of israel. i'm quite sure president biden made it clear to the qataris that it has to be a part of the deal. but no guarantee that the qataris can force hamas do anything. decisions are being made in the tunnels and command centers under the ground and there is not necessarily a direct communication link between gaza and doha. >> there is majority support for this deal across israel, but there is some criticism including the israeli foreign minister who pointed to the deal that included the release of the prisoner in 2011. and when we looked at this list that israel released of the 300 palestinian prisoners that it would be willing to release in exchange, on it mainly 16 to 18-year-old young men. some of them members of hamas or islamic jihad. should that be of security concern to people? >> i think the security people have to be wide open with their eyes on these people once they are released to go back home. those in particular who are considered by israel dangerous, they will go back to their homes in the west bank and east jerusalem where israel has full access to them and can be on top of them. and there is nothing to prevent israel from rearresting them should they be planning attacks against israel. but of course security people will have to be watching them. of course. >> we have reporting that there is some concern within the biden administration that another potential consequence of this pause would be as perhaps more journalists are allowed in to gaza, as more of the destruction that maybe is seen and devastation that that could turn public opinion against israel. do you they should as a valid concern? >> no, i don't. palestinian television stations or arab stations has seen 47 days of destruction in gaza as opposed to what we see on the israeli television, which is just the physical destruction. i watch palestinian television stations and you see the humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in gaza. it is catastrophic. it is horrific to watch. and bringing in nor jomore jours to document it won't change anything. anyone who wants to see it can see it. >> always appreciate your expertise. thank you for being with us. there is urgent search and rescue mission under way after a deadly mud slide in alaska. we'll update you with the new warning this morning. the threat not over. and battle for the future of artificial intelligence, what sam altman's return to the top of openai means for humanity and for the future of this technology. officials in alaska are warning more mudslides could come following the mudslide on monday which killed three people including a young girl and left behind just a trail of damage as well. search and rescue teams are still looking desperately for three other people missing. so this all happened in a remote fishing community of wrangell on the heels of heavy rains. officials urge residents to avoid the area. all week we've been telling you about the drama at openai. let's take a step back and really explain why it matters to you. so it was about 120 hours of absolute chaos, sam altman fired, got a new job, then came back as ceo of the company that he co-founded. the drama has all the makings of a hollywood blockbuster but you should care. key factor was tension between he and the board over how quickly to move on ai development. altman wanted to push more aggressively, the board more cautiously according to kara swisher. >> it was nonsense. i called it a goat rodeo. it was a waste of time and i think that he was moving faster than they liked and so they did this dramatic thing. i at the felt like there was nine other ways do this. >> and openai is the leading artificial intelligence company, they built chatgpt. and bill gates says the development of ai is as fundamental to the creation of the personal computer, the internet and mobile phone. the vision of the person at the top of openai will steer the technology's future and that is sam altman and here is what he said just this summer. >> no one person should be trusted here. i don't have super voting shares like i don't want them. the board can fire me. i think that is important. i think the board over time needs to get like democratized to all of humanity. if it really works, it is a powerful technology and you should not trust one company and certainly not one person with it. >> and ai already changing your life, your society, of jobs. >> it is going to change jobs in a pretty dramatic way. it will make people more productive and help out. so, yes, this is a world changing set of advances. >> that is bill gates. he would know. 300 million full-time jobs around the world eventually could be automated in some way according to goldman sachs. 14 million positions could just disappear in the next five years alone according to the world economic forum. and to give you a sense of how powerful chatgpt is, according to two reports, google found in theory it would hire it, the bots and an entry level employee. and amazon scissors it does a very good job of answering customer support questions as well as questions about corporate strategy. and chatgpt is one of the fastest growing tech products of all time. the skoecompany says 100 millio people use it every day and 92% of fortune 500 companies use openai and 2 million developers are using their tools to build their own products. and this all happened in about a year. and different types of ai are already built into your daily life and you may not know it. it is behind facial recognition on your smartphone. you hear it when you use siri, you see it when it optimizes your online shopping. and the industry essentially totally unregulated. again, here is sam altman testifying before congress in may on why that should change. >> my worst fears are that we cause significant, we the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm to the world. so i think that there needs to be incredible scrutiny on us and our competitors. >> the drama also leaves an opening for other companies like google to accelerate their development. here is how our colleague put it so well, the dispute appears to have done long term damage to the credibility of certain deep skeptics and lifted the fortunes of microsofts and altman frs the world pushing to get artificial intelligence into the hands of the public and that may haveple to come. yes, it will probably become a hollywood blockbuster, but one that you should pay close attention to. >> that is exactly the explainer i knew you'd give me. and two entertainment icons are accused of sexual assault and battery. why jimmy fjames any fox and ax rose are facing the lawsuits. and red cross says that it has no idea about the truce agreement. and we'll be joined bien a israeli diplomat to try to get facts about what is happening. nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes! [ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. this morning two icons of entertainment accused of sexual assault and battery. jamie foxx is facing claims in a lawsuit filed with the new york supreme court. the alleged incident happened at a manhattan restaurant in 2015. and guns and roeses front man accused of sexual assaulting an actress. two of a number facing accusations. this recent wave as a key deadline looms for the state's adult survivors act which allows survives to sue even if the statute of limitations has passed. the law though does expire tomorrow. jean casarez is joining us with more. >> seems like there is a flurry of celebrity filings right now. and this is the latest one. jamie foxx, 2015 the alleged victim is asserting, a restaurant in new york city, chase nyc in the meat packing district, and they have a rooftop area that is a restaurant and bar area. and the alleged victim is saying that she and her friend got there about 11:00 p.m. and that jamie foxx and owner of the restaurant were sitting at the table right next to them and all of a sudden all these people started crowding around the table because jamie foxx was there and the management told them please disburse and get away but she did not say anything to she and her friend. so the hours went on, seems like there weren't too many there except the employees and owner. they wanted a picture with jamie foxx. so he took a picture. and then he told the alleged victim that he reminded her of gabriella union. and she says that he forcibly grabbed her and took her to the side of that rooftop area and started unwanted touching underneath her blouse. she alleges down her shirt. and the vision that is portrayed in this complaint is that all the employees were standing there, nobody did anything. and that is how this comes about. and she is suing the restaurant and employees and the owner and everything for negligent hiring and trngt we have reached tout foxx, his representatives. we have not heard anything at this point. >> and what about the claim against axl rose? >> this is 1989, so this is a long time ago. she met him in a night club. he invited will her to his hotel. along with others. so it was like an after party. she said that there were drugs there, cocaine, alcohol, that he started to kiss her. and she consented that she liked him and she alleges in the complaint that she might spend the night. but she started having violence sex with another woman at the part
