you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm alex marquardt in washington. my colleague, kaitlan collins, is in tel aviv. jim acosta is off tonight. thank you very much for being with us. we do begin with breaking news in what is now the third day of a temporary pause in the fighting between israel and hamas. hamas saying tonight that it does want to extend this temporary cease-fire into a -- beyond the original four-day deal. sources telling us that israel's war cabinet is discussing that possibility. today was yet another emotional day for families in israel. a third group of 17 hostages who were held inside gaza since early october were finally freed. these are the 13 israeli women and children released by hamas. they range in age from 4 to 84. and for the first time in this temporary truce, an american is also among the freed hostages. 4-year-old abigail idan. you see her right there. her family celebrating, saying, coy quote, there are no words to express our relief. w i want to hand it off to kaitlan for more. >> reporter: we're monitoring all of this very closely because not only did we see the release of these additional israeli hostages tonight, we also saw another group of palestinian prisoners also released. 39 teenage boys, all 18 and younger, we are told. they were released from israeli jails as a part of this agreement between israel and hamas to release hostages and release these prisoners. that pause in fighting in gaza has been very quiet since friday. it has also allowed more than 300 aid trucks to go into gaza, many of them going into north gaza, where it's desperately needed. it's got aid, food, water, baby formula, medicine on those trucks, we are told. and for the first time since the war began on october 7th, prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited israeli troops inside gaza today. as you saw him here in a flak jacket addressing those forces, talking about israel's war goals. we are covering the story tonight from all angles here in israel and in the united states. as the white house says, president biden has not only spoken with the family of that 4-year-old, abigail edan, she also is believed to be at the children's hospital near tel aviv. president biden also speaking to prime minister netanyahu. i want to bring in matthew chance. you were outside the hospital tonight where a lot of these hostages were being brought. what did you see when you were there? >> reporter: it's stunning because these are huge military transport helicopters. there were two of them ferrying the israeli hostages or former hostages to tel aviv, including a group of nine children, some of them with their families, some of them not. abigail edan was one of them, the 4-year-old israeli american girl. she turned 4 on friday when she was a hostage inside gaza. her family, as you mentioned, issued a statement ahead of her arrival at the schneider medical institution center there just on the outskirts of tel aviv, saying that no words could express their relief and gratitude, also thanking president biden and thanking the qatari government, who have played a key mediating role, but also saying they continue to stand with the family of all those hostages whose loved ones are still captive. so, yes, scenes of happiness, of course, though maybe, maybe 100 or more, local bystanders came waving israeli flags, cheering, welcoming these helicopters as they landed. but this, of course, is tinged with the ongoing tragedy and the sadness that there are still about 180 or so hostages inside the gaza strip. it's israel's intention, it says, to get them all back. >> i can't stop thinking about she's an orphan now. she came home. she has two siblings, but both of her parents were killed on that day. >> reporter: that's something the family have spoken about. it's a new world, a much worse world in some ways that she comes back into after being torn out of her life on october 7 in a community near gaza. her mom and dad were both killed. her dad was reportedly holding her in his arms when he was shot dead, and she then ran away terrified to the neighbors next d door, and thought she was going to be safe there. but then they all got taken captive. all of them together were held hostage in gaza, and all of them were released today. so abigail and haga brod itch along with her three children. all of them were sort of hiding from the hamas government in that house next door to her house. they were all taken captive and all released today. but you're right. they come back to a very, very different world. >> this is the third group of hostages. tomorrow is day four of this truce. it is only right now slated to last four days. we heard earlier that the israeli wartime cabinet was meeting. they talked about the possibility of extending it. it's not clear they voted on it or agreed to extend it. we know the conditions. hamas has to produce 10 more hostages in order to get another day in the pause of this fighting. what's the likelihood of that happening? >> i think everybody wants it. it makes a lot of sense for hamas to produce more hostages, to get more aid relief coming into the gaza strip and to kind of put back the onslaught that the israeli government had promised when this hostage deal comes to an end. and of course it's in the interest of israel as well to try to get as many hostages out as possible. they've gotten an agreement for four consecutive days of military pauses and four consecutive days of hostage releases. we've seen three of them. there's another one expected to take place tomorrow or scheduled to take place tomorrow. there were no obstacles that delayed the transfer of the hostages this time unlike yesterday. that was a real positive sign as well. again, the home is this can go on day after day until all the hostages are out. clearly it's going to get harder and harder for hamas to find ten hostages every day into the future that would kind of lead to a pause in the fighting. >> given they're not all being kept together. matthew chance, we'll continue to check in with you on the condition of those hostages who are being kept at hospitals throughout the area tonight. alex. earlier today president joe biden celebrated the release of abigail edan, who turned 4 years old in captivity. he said that he is hopeful that more americans can be released. cnn's priscilla alvarez joins us for more now from the white house. priscilla, the president has spoken repeatedly about abigail. he, of course, is thrilled to see her out. he has said he is expecting two more americans to come out in the coming days. but he also said importantly today he wants to see an extension in this pause in the fighting. what else did he have to say? >> reporter: he said explicitly his goal is for there to be an extended pause in the fighting to have more hostages released by hamas. u.s. officials have said that israel is prepared to release -- is prepared to continue the pause in fighting in exchange for hamas releasing 10 hostages each day. that is what the president was referring to, and he said he's hopeful that that could happen. take a listen. >> critically needed aid is going in, and hostages are coming out. and this is structured so it can be extended, to keep building on these results. that's my goal. that's our goal, to keep this pause going on tomorrow so we can continue to see more hostages come out and surge more humanitarian relief to those in need in gaza. >> reporter: according to the white house, the president also spoke about this with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, earlier today. the two of them discussing the pause in fighting, the release of hostages, and the surge of humanitarian aid into gaza. but the president was today welcoming the news of the release of abigail edan, the 4-year-old american who was released, the first american hostage, as part of this group, as part of this deal. we're learning that behind the scenes, u.s. officials had been closely working to have her released as part of this group, that today they were . they are trying to secure their release and to do so in the hopes there would be a pause in fighting that more hostages would be released in that process. but, of course, all this remains an open question and a topic of discussion as the president and the prime minister of israel maintain close contact over the hours and days to come. alex. >> all right. priscilla alvarez at the white house. kaitlan, back to you in israel, what i think is really interesting is that u.s. officials told our colleague mj lee that they were able to track in real time the movement of abigail edan as she moved through the gaza strip, presumably in hamas custody, and then got handed over to the red cross. so clearly american officials, american intelligence keeping a very close eye on those hostages. >> reporter: yeah. and we had asked officials how do they have this level of ability to track them because that was a concern as part of this agreement, was no flying of drones over gaza, which israel and the u.s. had been doing to pick up their tension. clearly they do still have a way to keep an eye on these hostages. the question, of course, is how they're able to do that in this period where there is no fighting in gaza if hamas is, indeed, moving around the hostages it's holding. so we are continuing to speak with officials about that and report that out. i want to bring in the editor in chief of the jerusalem post, who is here with us now. as we're talking about approaching day four of this temporary truce and what this looks like, we know the war cabinet has been discussing this as of just a few hours ago, we were told by sources. some have said that the longer that temporary truce goes on, the harder it is for israel to go back to fighting. but is that your sense, or what is your assessment? >> kaitlan, israel has said consistently that once this temporary pause ends, it will continue its military campaign to deny hamas the capability to ever carry out a massacre like october 7th ever again. however, that may indeed become more difficult as the days stretch on. and so there will have to be a calculus made between how many hostages can be freed and whether it will impair the military goal of decimating hamas' military capability in the long term. >> the factor of this is these images that we're seeing, that matthew chance was talking about, families being reunited with their loved ones. multiple members of some families that are being returned. with abigail edan being returned, she is the first u.s. citizen that has been returned as a part of this hostage release since the temporary truce was struck. we looked at the numbers, and if you look at what the hostages and missing persons forum says, there are about 18 children still being held in -- or, excuse me -- a dozen children under the age of 18. so how does israel balance knowing that, knowing that there are potentially a dozen more who could still qualify as this women and children group that they've been getting out so far, with balancing prime minister netanyahu being in gaza today, talking about this military goal of eradicating hamas? >> kaitlan, israel has declared its intention to free all the hostages. that includes those who are within that category of women and children but also those who are not. there are also elderly men who are sickly and are still held in hamas custody. there are people who are wounded, including an american who had his arm blown off by a hamas grenade and was seen piling onto a hamas pickup truck. i believe anderson cooper showed that just on this network. these are people who also need to be freed. that is definitely a part of the calculus as israel thinks through what might the next steps be. the youngest hostage, a 10-month-old, is still in hamas custody, has not been released. we hope that hamas, indeed, has all these people, that it's able to track them down and produce them over the next few days. i think that will be the calculus. is hamas able to produce ten hostages a day to contemplate extending this humanitarian pause. >> and we're here in israel. there is a strong sense of continuing that military campaign when you speak to people, when you speak to officials in the cabinet here. but in the u.s., you're seeing mounting protests, mounting pressure on president biden. he's been in nantucket, and protesters have been shouting the words "cease-fire" at him as he's just walking around town. tonight we saw a huge protest in manhattan. i want you to respond to something we heard from democratic senator chris murphy, who said that all aid that the u.s. gives to other countries is conditioned on those countries complying with international law. and he -- what kind of concern does that raise in israel about what the future of u.s. support looks like? >> i think israel does whatever it can to abide by international law. in fact, every single israeli air strike goes through a meticulous process of legal oversight. every single target is pre-selected and approved by legal authorities within the idf to ensure it is indeed a military target that can, indeed, be struck. i think israel would agree that it should be conducting its military operation in accordance with international law, and it does, in fact, do so. but i would say that view is very much at odds with the views that have been expressed not only by the administration, but by the majority of the democratic caucus, who have said that israel must be given the means to defend itself, and that is what the administration and the congress have been endeavoring to do at this time. we see in poll after poll that the overwhelming majority of americans do support israel's right to defend itself and to engage in this campaign against hamas. i don't expect that to change anytime soon. >> avi mayer, editor in chief of the jerusalem post, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. we'll have much more of our special coverage live on the ground here in israel as the third group of hostages has just been released, the third group of palestinian prisoners also just released to the west bank. you're in the "cnn newsroom." we'll be back after a quick break. there were celebrations again tonight in the occupied west bank after a bus carrying newly released palestinian teenagers arrived in the west bank city of ramallah. israel says that 39 prisoners and detainees were released today as part of the exchange deal that was brokered, which saw earlier today 17 hostages freed from the hamas side. cnn's nada bashir has been all over this story and joins us now from jerusalem. nada, all of those freed today were teenagers. what more do we know about their release? >> reporter: they certainly were, one as young as 14 years old. among those 39 released, alex, 33 were held under administrative tension, again meaning no charges were laid against them, no ongoing legal process. what we've seen over the last three days is huge crowds in the occupied west bank showing out to welcome and celebrate the release of these detainees, women and children held in israeli custody. once again tonight, we have seen those enormous crowds showing up in downtown ramallah in the occupied west bank, once again celebrating. we were able to speak to some of those teenagers who were released yesterday. take a look. >> carried through the crowds, celebrated by thousands of palestinians, these boys are among 33 teenagers released from israeli prisons on saturday. this is, for many here in the occupied west bank, a moment of hope. and for those now freed, a moment of utter relief. "i'm so happy. i can't believe this is real," ibrahim says. "i don't even know what to say." this scene a product of a delicate four-day truce agreement between israel and hamas, set to see 150 palestinian prisoners and detainees released and at least 50 israeli hostages freed from hamas captivity in gaza. there are many palestinian families who will still be waiting anxiously to hear if their loved ones will too be freed. the tamimi family, seen here on saturday, has rallied for months, calling for the release of 17-year-old wisam. he was seriously injured by israeli forces and later arrested in june, accused by israeli of offenses including possessing a weapon, but he was never charged. now he and his family are finally together again. "i can't describe to you how i'm feeling right now. i honestly can't believe it. i feel like i'm in a dream," wi sa sam's mother says. "we just want to be able to smile and laugh together." many of those released are among the over 3,000 palestinians held under administrative detention, meaning no charges have been laid against them and no ongoing legal process. israel says some of those released were being held on terror or weapons charges. but in a list published by israeli authorities of 300 women and children eligible for release, throwing stones and harming regional security were among the most common charges. >> there are children here who have been in jail for eight years, five years, six years. it's unacceptable. many of them have now huge psychological problems because of the torture, at least psychological torture, because of the way they were interrogated. it is -- it is a ter rible atrocity that is practiced against these children. >> reporter: for the crowds gathered here in the occupied west bank, this celebration, they say, is a symbol of justice. bringing thousands of palestinians together to share in the joy of now reunited families. but for many, that joy is coupled with grief, with pain felt deeply here for the people of gaza. >> we're extremely happy, but still overwhelmed and extremely saddened by everything going on here in palestine. but at the same time, still resilient, keep going with whatever we can do in order to hopefully achieve a cease-fire and hopefully later on a full liberation. >> reporter: alex, when we spoke to some of those teenagers yesterday, many of them detailed mistreatment and abuse they had experienced they received in detention. we have received a response from the israeli prison service. they say all those released over the last three days were serving time for serious offenses and all prisoners are held under the provisions of israeli law. but of course as we know, the majority of those seen released today and indeed yesterday were held under administrative detention with no charges laid against them. in fact, in that wider list of 300 women and children eligible for potential release over the course of this truce agreement, one of the most common charges that we've seen in that list were throwing stones at israeli soldiers and threatening regional security. the question, the issue of administrative detention is completely controversial and has been condemned by many rights organizations. and for many families, the hope of course is that tomorrow, that final day of the truce as it stands now, will see more women and children released as part of that truce agreement. alex. >> a very controversial practice in the israeli judicial system. thank you very much for that report. we will have much more coming up on this day three of the pause in fighting between israel and hamas as well as what lies ahead when cnn's special coverage continueues in just t a moment.. stay witith us.. a third group of hostages, 17 in total, have now been released by hamas back on israeli soil tonight in hospitals, receiving care as this third day of the exchange has been under way. joining me now to discuss is israeli consul general aviv ezra. great to have you here. tonight we are told by sources that the israeli war cabinet met to talk about the idea of extending this temporary pause that we've seen in the fighting so this hostage deal could be facilitated. for the first time we're hearing hamas say they are in favor of extending that pause. do you believe that israel is on the verge of doing so? >> thank you for having me on your show, kaitlan. this is definitely a roller coaster, emotional roller coaster, bittersweet days we're dealing with. we're coping with our first number one goal, which is actually to bring back the hostages. you see the dog tag i'm wearing, with the promise to take it off only when all 240 are back home. you've seen the reunions with the families, . stories of return of mothers without children, children without mothers, with all the atrocities. to your question, we are going to continue focusing on that effort, which is to bring all of the hostages back. the mechanism that was built, four days originally and then an additional day each time when the additional 10 hostages will be released, is the mechanism that israel still believes that is an important mechanism that could actually make that goal happen. maybe this is the role to say how appreciative we are for the biden administration, the secretary of state, national security adviser, with the strong, strong support of making it happen. >> if israel does decide to move forward with that given that stated goal of bringing home all the hostages, does the war cabinet need to vote on that or simply by hamas producing 10 more hostages is the temporary pause extended? >> israel has already agreed to the concept of four days as the first mechanism, and then an additional day of each 10 hostages are being released. that added, of course, to the fact that we're saying pretty clear, and hamas would mark our words over here, that the minute they stop releasing hostages, there will be an end to the cessation of fire. we will continue with our second role, which is not just to eradicate hamas, this is about eradicating their threat. this will continue the minute they stop releasing our hostages. those two goals are intertwined in a sense. i've heard some of your speakers talk about the fact they're conflicting. we believe that without exercising this deep pressure on hamas, hamas is not a humanitarian organization. they're not boy scouts. they would have not agreed to any of these release of hostages had we not pressured them enough. we'll continue the pressure until the last hostages is back home in israel. >> okay. so it sounds like they would not have to vote on it based on that. if the deal does continue, one thing i'm curious about, does that also mean israel continues to release palestinian prisoners if hamas continues to produce 10 more hostages each day? >> the mechanism that was built, as i said, by the national players, including the united states but also other major players like egypt and additional players including qatar, made it clear that hamas will release 10 hostages each day in return for israel releasing prisoners that were involved in either terrorism or detained for terrorism and also the humanitarian angle, which was crucial for us too, to bring about 200 trucks a day to make sure they continue to support the humanitarian situation in gaza because we do make an appreciation between the hamas butchers and between the non-combatant innocent civilians in the gaza strip. >> so it does sound like israel would continue to release those palestinian prisoners. do you know, has israel gotten the fourth list of hostages that are slated to be released on the fourth day of this pause? >> well, i'm not going to go into the tactical back-and-forth in terms of the negotiation, but i can tell you the mechanism is built in a manner that these lists are given to us in advance, and we, of course, share them with the relevant partners of ours. i think in this sense, this has worked very well the first day. there were some hiccups the second day. this mechanism that allows us to continue bringing our innocent civilians -- mind you, we're talking about 10-month-old all the way to 80-year-old holocaust survivors. just unthinkable that these children are p.o.w.s for hamas' case. >> one thing we heard from president biden -- and obviously you're based in new york. you're dealing a lot with the u.s. government on this angle of this. president biden has continued to say that he does believe that a two-state solution is possible here. is that a sentiment that you agree with? >> well, i think that the two-state solution requires a few things. first of all, it requires that there's somebody on the other side that we can communicate with and is not committed to the annihilation of the state of israel. second, we need to have somebody who is peaceful on the other side, that does not incite on an everyday basis both in the media and education system, and does not teach the children because children are not born to hate. they're being taught to hate. last but not least, we need to make sure that the security of israelis into the future -- this is an element that israelis are not willing to take a risk again. we are our disengagement in 2005. this is a kind of an experiment that we were promised once israel is out of gaza wer, we w see the singapore of the middle east. we ended up october 7th where all the masks were torn off and our delusional thought that we would have somebody we could work with is not the case because they are not shy about the fact they want to annihilate the state of israel. i think at this point, both israelis and governments in israel will be very reluctant because we don't have somebody on the other hand that is showing they have an interest to go forward to any solution. >> okay. very reluctant. aviv ezra, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you for having me. coming up, we're following another development that's happening in the u.s. right now. a disturbing one as we're getting new details about three young palestinian students who were shot in vermont and are now recovering in the hospital. we'll have a live report right after this. a deeply disturbing story tonight with the search for a gunman now under way in vermont. three palestinian college students were injured in a shooting in the city of burlington. this is the last photo taken of the three of them before they were shot. cnn's polo sandoval has been following this story for us. polo, what can you tell us about the manhunt? >> reporter: at least one of the students in critical condition and the other two stable. you just saw a photo there showing three palestinian american students that attend school at various u.s. universities. two of them u.s. citizens. another of them a legal resident of the united states. all of them are lifelong friends who had been visiting the vermont area over the thanksgiving holiday. the institute for middle east understanding confirming the identities of these three young m m one of the victim's mother is in ramallah speaking the head of the support group and also the ramallah friends school in the west bank, which is where these three young men attended school before coming to the united states. the head of that institution telling cnn that his mother is desperately trying to make it to the u.s. though her son is stable. we understand he has a bullet lodged in his spine, so his recovery certainly still up in the air right now. in the last few hours, we heard from an attorney who had an opportunity to speak to cnn about a possible motive. now, before you actually hear what that attorney believes took place, we have to be clear, burlington, vermont, police, who are the ultimate authority in this case, they have not yet established a motive. they are, however, looking into the possibility that this may have been a hate crime. the attorney for the family, though, as you'll hear, says it all adds up. >> reporter: the suspect walked up to them and shot them. they weren't robbed. they weren't mugged. it was a targeted shooting and a targeted crime, and they were wearing the ca feeia. they are known in the area for being palestinian. you know, that's a very well-known symbol. it's a very well-known cloth. it's very symbolic of the palestinian cause, the palestinian culture and history. the fact they were wearing this and then fell victim to a shooter leads us to believe that that played a role, their identity played a role in them being targeted. >> reporter: the fbi tells cnn they are aware of this investigation and prepared to step in should it reach that point given the rise in not only anti-semitic but islamaphobic attacks we've seen in the country since october 7th. >> very troubling. polo sandoval, we will be coming back to you. thank you very much. coming up, we'll be speaking with the top democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. stay with us for more of our special coverage. we are tracking a lot today from that shooting of the three palestinian college students in vat to talk of a possible truce extension between israel and hamas. we have democratic congressman gregory meeks of new york. he is the top democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thank you so much for joining us on what is really a busy sunday. i want to first start by asking you about this horrible shooting of these three young men, these palestinian college students in vermont. >> well, you know, your adjective of horrible is just that. you know, it seems to me hate has no place in the world, much less here in the united states and on our college campuses. obviously it seems from what i've heard thus far, for these young men to be picked out because they're palestinian and attacked is something that cannot be tolerated in the united states, and should not be tolerated around the world. hate has no place, and so my heart and my prayers go out to the three young men. hopefully they will all survive. but we want to make sure that those that committed this heinous act will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. >> their lawyer noted they were wearing a kufiya, a recognized palestinian symbol. in terms of the next stage of this war, congressman, president biden has said that he does hope for an extension of this four-day pause so more hostages can come out. we've been speaking with residents of gaza who are terrified for what could follow if this fighting starts again. what do you think the biden administration should be doing to urge israel to do once this pause is over? >> well, number one, let me just say that president biden has been doing an excellent job, and we must get all of the hostages -- you know, there's some american hostages that are still there, and all of the hostages, whether the israelis, those that remain, get them all out. we cannot forget the heinous actions of hamas. i think that what needs to take place and what i think the united states has said as well as the israeli government is that you've got to destroy the tunnels and the network that hamas has utilized to attack israel and to kill and to move forward with their agenda of trying to get rid of israel, saying israel does not have the right to exist. so that probably would mean continued ground game, which i think and should mean you can get to the tunnels, and hopefully that will make sure that we won't have the kind of bombs that are being dropped, which will lessen the number of innocent civilians that would be in harm's way. i also hope during this humanitarian pause, it means many gazans can get out of the way of particularly northern gaza and get to safety, where there will be some food and medicine, et cetera, that we see coming in. that's why i hope that it is extended for a few more days and more hostages are released. that's what the biden administration is working very hard to do. >> is that something that you raised with the israeli government? you were just there. since you've been back, the death toll has risen to more than 14,000 gazans. you mentioned earlier going in more on the ground rather by air if i understood you correctly. how do you think israel can go about, you know, accomplishing their goal of eliminating hamas without causing more civilian casualties? >> again, i think once they're on the ground, and it's riskier for the members of the idf. but once you're on the ground and you're going door by door, you can go in, and as we've seen some of the tunnels, israel has been very transparent in that ground game by allowing reporters to be embedded with them so they can see what's taking place also. i think then people can see also what is taking place by hamas and how they pop out of these tunnels to attack, et cetera. but you have a better, you know -- when you drop the bombs from afar in the air, as israel was trying to do, to weaken and destroy some of the tunnels and make sure it made it easier for members of their armed forces to get in and on the ground, it also causes buildings to collapse where people are living, et cetera. being on the ground, that could be eliminated in that regard. i also hope that they're still talking to, you know, saudi arabia and jordan and egypt, all who have been a part of these negotiations, to talk about what hands afterwards because i think that is tremendously important to talk to the qataris and uae and others because you can't do this alone. we have to make sure we're building something for the return of gazans back to their homes and to rebuild once hamas is destroyed. >> congressman, we just have a couple moments left, but i want to ask you about aid for israel. you've criticized the white house for asking for a waiver so that congress does not have to be notified about that aid being sent to israel. i want to ask you what conditions would you like to see on military aid for israel? >> i did not say that i want to condition aid. but when the president wants to move forward, he has to apply -- any president -- and come to congress. that's congress' job. i'm not going to give up the responsibility that the united states congress has to any president. that would set a precedent for someone else -- >> you don't want any conditions applied? >> well, we have not had conditions applied to israel aid ever until the -- >> but it is applied to other countries. >> say that again. >> it is applied to other countries, for example, human rights. if a country like egypt. >> i want to continue to serve israel and supply weapons as we have in the past. the president still comes to congress. i have an opportunity to review to make some decisions. for example, what happened in one of the things that was before us was rifles that go to some in the west bank. i want to make sure that those rifles are going into the right hands. >> right. >> and i said i would not check off on until such time that i knew that. so that's not a condition. it's trying to make sure we're doing the right thing at the right time. >> all right. congressman gregory meeks, thank you so much for your time this evening, sir. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thank you for having me. cnn's special coverage of the israel-hamas four-day truce continues in just a a moment. stay with h us. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing?
