destroying several residential buildings, according to witnesses.
This comes after a post from U.S. President Donald Trump on his social media plight.

He says Israel has agreed to an initial withdrawal line inside Gaza, and that when Hamas confirms

Our senior correspondent Nadal al-Magrabi is in Cairo.
There has been lots of hopes among Palestinians in Gaza's trip and also among the families
of hostages in Israel.
But the precise timeline for implementing Trump's plan remains unclear.
And some logistics may prove problematic because of the devastation in Gaza
and potential pitfalls to the deal remain after previous ceasefires during the war
came to an end with Israel resuming its offensive and a routine of fighting.
Russia reigned missiles and drones down on Lviv, overnight, killing at least five people.

A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked the Trump

plays out. While in Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker says he's been given an ultimatum by Trump
to deploy the state's National Guard. On Saturday, ice agents fired pepper spray and rubber
bullets at protesters in Chicago. Protests have been growing in the city over the treatment
of migrants by federal agents. Our reporter Heather Schlitz visited the ice facility near Chicago to
understand the growing tension.
It was a relatively calm scene with only a handful of arrests until border patrol agents
came at protesters with their gas masks on, and that's when things really escalated.
Border Patrol officers were pushing people, someone to the street.
There was some pepper spray deployed, so people had their gas masks on, and the ones who
didn't were violently coughing.
And it got just, it got pretty intense.

On the latest episode of Ones

Pope Leo XIV has been praised by conservative Catholics in the U.S. for his reserved
approach to commenting on world issues.
But as our Vatican reporter Joshua McElwee explains, that warm sentiment is being tested
by some recent comments.
This week, Pope Leo criticized the inhuman
treatment of immigrants in the U.S. He talked about Catholic Church's pro-life teachings,
which in the U.S. often is shorthand for referring only to abortion. But he said a person
who is pro-life cannot only care about abortion. He said they also have to care about the death
penalty and also have to care about treatment of migrants. Almost immediately online, there was
pretty heated backlash from some conservative Catholics who were upset that the Pope had
talked about an issue that they care about so deeply, comparing it to situations such as migration
and the death penalty.
Joshua says this comment,
along with other moves in the Pope's early tenure,
offer insight into his approach to leading the church.
Pope Leo, from the very first moments of his papacy,
identified the issue of unity
as something that's very important
for the global Catholic Church in this time.
And in the first few months,
what we've seen is kind of an extraordinary gesture
from this Pope to reach out to all different kinds of people.
He's reached out to two of the Cardinals
who are most critical of Pope Francis, a U.S. Cardinal named Raymond Burke and a Gidean
cardinal, named Robert Serra.
He's also allowed Cardinal Burke, who is someone who loves the traditional Latin Mass, to say
that Mass in St. Peter's Basilica later this month, which is something that Pope Francis
did not allow.
At the same time, Leo has reached out to a priest in the U.S. who ministers to LGBTQ Catholics.
It's really seen as kind of pushing the church toward greater acceptance of LGBTQ Catholics.
Paris Fashion Week is rounding out a month of runway shows.
Retail reporter Mimosa Spencer is on top of the latest from the catwalks
and the shake-ups going on at major fashion houses.
So we've got some of the biggest names in fashion
that are debuting new designers this season.
We'll have Chanel.
This will be the first designer change.
Since 2019, at Dior, we had the big debut for women's wear
from Jonathan Anderson, who is a first first.
41-year-old designer that they've entrusted to look after both men's wear and women's wear.
This is a very big deal for LVM8.
Louis Vuitton is a very big brand, and usually they're all about travel and going out and seeing the world.
And this season, they decided to show really comfy clothing to wear in the home, like big, warm, enveloping scarves,
and they had flat slippers that were all felted and cozy looking.
While most of these designs won't be available until the spring,
one brand is trying to shake up the traditional timeline.
There's one brand that offered some of the clothing right away,
and that was Gucci.
They also have a new designer,
and he posted all the new clothing on social media
and made the clothes available in the stores for the next two weeks.
And the reason Gucci is doing that is because they've struggled longer
than some of the other big fashion brands with falling sales,
and they really need to get things going again.
