Gaza ceasefire remains fragile; LA declares emergency over ICE raids

Despite a peace deal that signed, sealed and delivered, there is more unrest on the streets of Gaza

From a Hamas disarming to humanitarian aid not being allowed through, there are still big questions unresolved this morning

Plus, blown up, the president touts a blast off the coast of Venezuela as another blow to drug trafficking in the Caribbean

and what he calls a designated terrorist organization route. And a state of emergency declared in Los Angeles, but not for a natural disaster

This morning, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains fragile as Israel threatens to cut aid deliveries to Gaza in half

as Hamas has not yet returned the remains of all the hostages who died in their custody

Meanwhile, Hamas security forces have returned to the streets of Gaza in a show of force

While Hamas sent back the remains of four more hostages to Israel yesterday

Israel says the terror group is not upholding its end of the peace deal

in which Hamas agreed to return the remains of all 28 deceased hostages, alongside the 20 still living

So far, it has only returned a total of eight deceased. Because of that, Israel says starting today, it will only allow half the agreed number of humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza

The United Nations also confirmed it has been notified that no fuel or gas will be allowed into the enclave

except for specific needs related to infrastructure. This comes as Hamas security forces have reportedly clashed with armed groups

and publicly executed people in what it calls an attempt to restore law and order

in areas where Israeli troops have withdrawn. That show of force could threaten the fragile peace agreement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains the war won end until Hamas is dismantled President Trump ceasefire plan calls for Hamas to disarm and let an internationally supervised body that has yet to be formed take over in Gaza

We have told them we want to disarm and they will disarm. And if they don't disarm

we will disarm them. And it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently. Hamas has not yet accepted those terms, saying more negotiations are needed

Netanyahu told CBS News on Tuesday, if Hamas does not disarm, all hell breaks loose

The U.S. military has conducted another strike on a boat it says was trafficking drugs off the coast of Venezuela

President Trump posting video of the strike on his Truth Social page Tuesday

saying six narco-terrorists were killed in what he calls a lethal kinetic strike that you saw right there

He also said the boat was affiliated with a designated terrorist organization

but did not name which one. This marks the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean

It comes as the Trump administration has declared the United States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels

Venezuela is accusing the administration of ulterior motives, such as trying to unseat President Nicolas Maduro

in order to seize the country's natural resources. The political controversy over the Trump administration's ice raids

on suspected illegal immigrants in Los Angeles action at the local level. Los Angeles County has now declared a state of emergency over the

federal presence and the fallout from the feds rounding up thousands of migrants. The move allows

the county to assist immigrants who have been financially impacted by the ICE raids. Los Angeles

is a so-called sanctuary city, with the county home to more than three million immigrants who

are now dealing with what advocates deem a widespread fear. The county says that fear has

led to decreased attendance at workplaces, disruption to the local economy, and a strain

on schools, hospitals, and churches. Back in June, fiery protests in Los Angeles led President Trump

to activate the National Guard against Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass wishes The matter wound up in court There have been more than 5 ICE and Border Patrol arrests in Los Angeles since June with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem marking the

milestone in August, saying, families protected, American taxpayers spared the cost of crimes

If you are here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and send you back

The latest back and forth between the U.S. and China in the ongoing trade battle has to do with

port fees. On Tuesday, both countries began charging each other additional levies on products

from toys to crude oil as the two countries continued to posture on tariffs, trade and fees

China says it has started to collect the special charges on American-owned and operated flagged

ships, but Chinese-built ships are exempt. That followed the Trump administration's plans to impose

fees on ships with ties to China in order to increase domestic shipbuilding in the U.S

All of this comes after a weekend of rhetoric and trade threats. On his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump accused China of exerting an extraordinarily aggressive position on controlling its exports, mainly rare earth magnets and minerals

Trump vowed to retaliate with a blanket 100 percent tariff on Chinese products on November 1st

By Monday, Trump had reversed course, saying don't worry about China. It will all be fine

New U.S. tariffs went into effect this week on imports of furniture, kitchen cabinets, and lumber ranging from 10 percent to 50 percent

And this morning, President Trump is threatening to end all cooking oil purchases from China due to the Chinese no longer buying American soybeans

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are slated to meet later this month at the APEC Summit in South Korea

This morning, the music industry is mourning the loss of R&B star D'Angelo

D'Angelo, the Grammy winner, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was famous for such hits as Brown Sugar, Cruisin', and Lady, all in the 1990s

Rolling Stone called him a soulful singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who kicked off the neo-soul revolution, then took that revolution to great artistic heights with his album Voodoo in 2000

Megastar Justin Timberlake is among those mourning the loss of D and paying tribute JT credits D with helping him define his own voice pointing to brown sugar as pivotal in guiding Timberlake unique sound

Michael D'Angelo Archer was 51. Finally this morning, here's something you don't expect to dig up in your backyard

A Louisiana woman was clearing some overgrowth when she uncovered a marble tablet

containing the mysterious inscription, Spirits of the Dead, on it. It turned out to be the 1,900-year-old grave marker of a Roman sailor named Sextus Congenus Verus

So how did it end up in New Orleans? The sequence of events is fascinating

She learned the tablet had been missing from an Italian museum for decades

A U.S. soldier from New Orleans, who served in Italy during World War II

had apparently taken the tablet when the museum was destroyed by Allied bombing

It got passed on to his granddaughter, who used to own the house where the tablet was found

She says she used it as a garden decoration and forgot about it

Now the FBI is in talks with Italian authorities to return the tablet to its rightful home

That's amazing. Anyways, Spirits of the Dead kind of sounds like a powerful liqueur you drink as a nightcap just before going to sleep, right

So would you like a Spirits of the Dead straight up or on the rocks? I'll have that straight up, please

spirits of the dead. All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today. At 10 a.m

Eastern, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases, one which will decide

whether police can enter a home without a warrant if they believe someone inside needs emergency help

Then at 3 p.m., President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel are holding a press conference. The

topic has not yet been announced. Finally, tonight at 730, the president hosting a legacy dinner

fundraiser at the White House to drum up donations for the huge ballroom he plans to have built
