Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael del Choonho.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
My dad's biggest insult when we were growing up was
what do you know it all? Thank god Roy O'Neil
is a know it all on a newsday like today,
because we got everything from TikTok to the Middle East
to the fires in California. Let's start with what appears
to be as last night, the president's doing victory lapse
on this accomplishment, not so fast as we wake up

(00:25):
this morning. What's the latest on this ceasefire?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Well, right, so we got word from the Prime Minister's
office in Israel saying that accusing Hamas of already renegging
on parts of this deal. So they delayed the cabinets
vote on the agreement, at least for now. It said
the Israeli cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify
Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.

(00:52):
So we're in a bit of a standby mode there
to see how things unfold. If they can move forward today,
it would mean the ceasefire takes on Sunday. They'll start
the process of releasing some of the hostages then, and
it's a three phase plan that would actually drag out
for months.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And just Q and a time here I did digging.
I know you probably you're a better digger than me,
but still we don't really know what the renigging is.
We think it has something to do with hostage releases,
and even then we don't know which phase right.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Right, They just said they accused Hamas of renegging on
parts of the agreement that was reached with mediators, So
they didn't get into many more details other than that.
So it's a bit of a wait and see. But
as you said, you know, President Biden made two speeches
about this last night, really President elect Trump putting on
true social saying how his mediator was also crucial and

(01:46):
having this plan come together. So a lot of international
pressure to get this over the finish line.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
A lot of pressure to get done with you in
one minute, So in one minute, give us an update
on the fire. I noticed some containment, maybe a three
percent containment increase in the Palace States. Fire Eaton is
now at forty five percent containment, but favorable weather conditions
until they get bad again late in the weekend. So
a lot of progress needs to be made in the
next seventy two hours, right exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
And while we did see some of those containment numbers improve,
considering that was with the increased Santa Ana wins, so
that was really quite the achievement. But now that those
winds are dying back, we're going to see a lot
more helicopters in the air, a lot more planes in
the skies. They're really going to go at it, as
you said, over these next seventy two hours through Saturday
into Sunday, because we expect the winds may return late

(02:35):
Monday Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Roy great reporting is always He'll be back in the
third hour to wrap things up. We're going to talk
about TikTok and.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
More, miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we'll miss you. It's your morning Show with Michael
del Churno.
