nomination. >> we need donald j. trump back as our president to the united states of america. ♪ >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. well, it is monday, november the 19th. 9:00 a.m. here in london, 11:00 in gaza, where the israeli militarily said it's found a hamas tunnel shaft in the al shifa hospital compound. and now releasing video to show what they've uncovered. the video was filmed by the israeli defense forces over the weekend. it begins outside where the camera is lowered into the tunnel. we're viewing a set of spiral stairs, later, the tunnel walls reinforced with concrete. israel said hamas has used al shifa to cover up a terror structure underground. the idf has released videos and

stills that it claims are hostages into al shifa hospital on october 7th, the day of the attacks. cnn cannot confirm the identities of the individuals in the video or their affiliations. and can't independently verify the content of the videos. meanwhile, 31 neonatal babies evacuated are now being cared for in southern gaza and expected to be transferred to egypt all said to be fighting a serious infection. one of the fathers reunited with his son after two weeks said he wasn't sure earlier if his child was even safe. >> translator: we didn't know whether he was dead or alive, especially when communications were disconnected with the doctors. they called us in the beginning that the child feels better and we could take him. we where mere sderot, he can only pray for his safety and he is here safe.

>> cnn's is here in sderot. what do you know, what do you understand will happen next? >> reporter: yeah, max, i was just checking my phone to see if i've heard from the egyptian health ministry. we know that they are on the ground. we've got images of ambulances with doctors, really, with incubators, with ventilators, frankly, they've been living there over a week. every single day they've been disappointed by the fact that the babies have not arrived into egypt. what we know now, they finally were taken out of al shifa hospital yesterday, safe passage was created. they were moved down to the maternity hospital in rafah. this was a very difficult and complex evacuation, max. i want to show you some of the those images that we have of the babies. it's difficult to watch, it's difficult to listen to. we hear the babies crying. and you see what state they're

in. we know that they were needed to be stabilized after moving from al shifa. and we know the conditions that the doctors have been described in al shifa over the past week. lack of auction yen, lack of fuel, lack of ability to keep the incubators running, and of course, this was during the idf raid as well. we saw communications blackouts, and the israeli health ministry telling us they weren't able to communicate with the hospital. i want you to look at the doctors and what they say. >> translator: we're conducting tests on all of those babies and they're given fluids and needed medication according to their condition. for now, they're in a stable condition, but this condition might deteriorate, especially given hall we might run out of fuel at anytime now that fuel is getting into gaza. >> reporter: still, though, while they're moved to the south

of gaza, fuel is still an issue, given the resources they need, still an issue. they're all fighting infectious diseases because of the inability to treat them in al shifa. the egyptians are waiting. we spoke about 36 neonatal babies at the start of last week. we know that number has changed. tragically, some of them have died because it was very clear that every minute counted. in terms of what we see in al shifa, there are still patients waiting to be evacuated and if they can await the race with the w.h.o. and of the children are starving because they don't have access to water and milk, nor the most vauld initial wounded patients still inside. but importantly, the babies are now in south of gaza. and in the next few hours from what i heard, they should be coming through to the egyptian side where they will be receiving the care that they need. in terms of the people that are accompanying these babies.

the w.h.o. said some of the babies do have family members. a lot of them do not. we don't know what happened to their family. we know there have been a lot of air strikes, we've been reporting the death toll, there's still a lot of information that we need, max, it's important to get them to egypt right now. >> are there other considerations in egypt to try to bring out other critical patients from gaza who aren't babies? >> reporter: so, this is a really important point, and we spoke to the egyptian health minister this weekend, and he said they can handle more than 40, 50 patients a day. and they're just not getting those numbers because it's important to evacuate the patients out of gaza and into egypt. they're ready and waiting for the capacity. they want the patients. they say they can handle all of the current palestinians currently inside of gaza. but the process of getting them out, a logistics, not just

the logistics, but getting their names on lists is slowing it down, max. it's just getting them across their border. >> okay, eleni, in cairo, we'll be back with you with all of those updates throughout the day if they come in with those baby cnn area oren liebermann with defense forces to see the tunnel in al shifa. there's a condition there. and they support footage, film in gaza for the israeli military for review. cnn obtained editorial control over the final report, though. here's oren. >> reporter: we go in under cover of darkness, as we cross the border fence, it's lights out across the gaza strip. escorted by a tank, we switch to an armored personnel carrier through the final stretch. even through a nice vision machine, you can see the

magnitude of destruction through the gaza city. we offlead at the al shifa hospital, with what's left. let's go! you have to keep our lights off most of the time or risk exposing our position. cnn reported from gaza under ex court at all times. as a condition of media outlets must 134i9 film in gaza to military sensors for review. now at the military compound, we wait inside a structure to make sure the area is secure before moving to the tunnel shaft. here's the entrance. you can see a ladder access to it. there's a step over here. it's difficult to see how far down it goes, but it looks like a central shaft for a staircase. and then it -- the shaft then disappears then down into the darkness. we move around the opening for a better look at the shaft itself. what's clear from here, this is meant to go deep underground. which direction is the tunnel going? >> we assume that the tunnel

goes out and it has another corridor to this way. >> reporter: towards the hospital? >> towards the hospital. and then next to the hospital to outside. which requires with the way hamas is working, hamas is going out somewhere, shooting down forces and going back inside for a safe place. >> reporter: we weren't allowed to enter the shaft, bument the israeli military sent special gear down to see where this leads. inside, the video shows a spiral staircase and as the camera orients sell, it moves forward into a tunnel. the tunnel makes a sharp left turn tend of another path, with concrete walls and large armed concrete top, a metal door that they say they have not yet opened because they feel it's booby-trapped. the spokesman said some of the hostages taken october 7th were taken to the hospital. the body of this man was discovered 50 meters from the compound. >> we have said they are holding

hostages here, but also we have evidence they were bringing to me al shifa hospital, we're still looking at places they might have held them. >> reporter: this is not proof of demand centers underneath the hospital. israel builds its case that hamas uses the center of hamas for cover which hamas and officials have denied. the idf's ability to continue its operation in gaza and the credibility of israel at stake here as the number killed in the fighting surpasses 12,000, according to the hamas-run ministry of health. the idf said one of its missions dried hamas but with individual criticism mounts, israel has to show using civilians and infrastructure as cover for the ongoing war. oreniebermannliebermann, in gaz. >> clare is here with us, we're waiting for some confirmation underneath the hospital.

is this enough to convince the international community? >> not yet. it's compelling, certainly. there's an uptick in the videos we've been getting, look, they haven't opened that door, that blast proof door in the tunnel. we heard from oren saying they assume at least for the hospital, it implies what hamas is doing, that kind of language, so they don't know for sure yet. they haven't completed this operation. it's a very painstaking operation that's happening. and separately, max, they also but out cctv video which they claim shows two hostages being brought into al shifa hospital on october 7th, which would imply this isn't new, they've been doing this, that the hospital has been used specifically for hamas purposes. in one case, you can see in this video, a stretcher is being brought in which carries one of the injured hostages. hamas, the hamas-run health

ministry in gaza says this doesn't prove anything. this just shows whoever needed medical treatment got it. but obviously, this is existential as oren pointed out for the international credibility of this ongoing operation. because if israel can't prove that the hospital was being used by hamas specifically to harm israel, then it wouldn't lose its protective status under national law. you can expect that calls for a cease-fire, calls for israel to do more, accusations-war crimes in that case are going to mount. >> a clip of the video inside the hospital you just showed be counterproductive? because, surely, you know, you saw them on stretchers doesn't mean they're necessarily using the hospital to hide hostages. they're using the hospital to treat hostages? >> i think it added to what they said. one of the video shows an injured hostage. one of the videos show an uninjured idf being sort of forcibly marched through. we also got news earlier in the

week that two bodies can be found close to the hospital, one of them was nora marciano killed inside the al shifa hospital. and that adds weight to the ongoing hostage negotiations which we're being told bit white house are making progress. we return now to the war in ukraine, u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin is now in kyiv for an unannounced visit. this is austin's second visit to kyiv since invaded since 2022. he's expected to meet with ukrainian leadership for tox and, quote, reinforce the staunch support from the united states for ukraine's fight for freedom. cnn's annan koren joins us live from kyiv. the cameras are there. is this partly messaging to remind the world that america is still concerned about ukraine and supports it? >> yeah, i think that's a very fair point, max. obviously, ukraine has not been

in the headlines as far as global news is concerned for the last month or so because of the war in israel. that doesn't mean the war here has stopped. if anything, it's just as bad, if not worse. so, lloyd austin coming to kyiv today, it's certainly a shot in the arm for the ukrainians. it's a boost in morale. they have been feeling neglected and overshadowed by what's been happening in the middle east and concern that global support is waning but as we've heard from lloyd austin, the defense department said this is america's display of staunch support for ukraine's fight for freedom. and lloyd austin, he also said on twitter that he was here to show ukraine that america is invested for the long haul. we believe that security assistance will be discussed along with battlefield capabilities. we're moving into winter here in ukraine. we know snow is falling on certain parts of the

battlefield. it is going to be a long and hard winter. the fight on the eastern front and the southern front, it is brutal. and it's bloody as ever. lloyd austin will also want to talk about long-term vision, heading into 2024, as far as president zelenskyy is concerned and he will meet with lloyd austin a little later this afternoon. he wants to know where the u.s. funding bill is at, that $61 billion that president biden wants to push through congress. now, we know the headwinds that that is facing. and the concern amongst the republicans, deep divisions, as to whether they want to support the future aid for ukraine. but from the ex perts, max, that i've spoken to, they say if this bill can be passed that $61 billion will get ukraine through 2024. >> in terms of the latest, on the ground first i can call it that, lots of people won't be up

to date because there's been so much focus, as you say on the israel hamas war. talk about the front lines not shifting at all in this technological war how would you say battle lines are currently lying right now? >> max, this is a war of attrition, there areno two ways about it. we heard from general zellushi, and he called it as a stalemate. this has now become a slugfest between ukrainian and russian forces, that even front of bakhmut, we know those are real hot spots and den in kherson, there is that operation under way, the dnipro river where they've managed to eke out a bit of a foothold, that is significant, but tenuous.

as i say, max, this is a war of attrition, as it stands, unless they get those expansed weapons they need to push back the russians. >> okay, anna in kyiv, thank you so much. now, donald trump spent the day campaigning in texas and secured a key endorsement in the race for the republican presidential nomination, lots more on that. later, pop star shakira heads to court for her tax fraud trial in spain. we'll have the very latest on today's hearing and what's at stake.

should he be re-elected to the white house with a particular focus on immigration. we're told by sources that they wants to expand his hard line immigration policies of his first term, including with mass deportation. they have a plan to round up undocumented migrants. put them into detention vans that would have to be built to host them in deported and then requires tapping local and federal law enforcement to participate in this endeavor because it would be such an enormous undertaking. now, the reason why this is just so significant is because donald trump as we said is inching towards the gop nomination. so we are starting to take a look at what it would look like in a general head to head. there are a lost questions as to whether or not this anti-immigrant rhetoric is something that would withstand a general election. we have already heard biden's campaign saying that some of these plans are, quote, inhumane, that is something up in the air, obviously nothing

we're not going to see in further down the road. kristen holmes, cnn, mccallen, texas. and coming out, trump will reveal the gag order he's currently under. a judge in washington will decide whether to overturn that order which has been temporarily frozen. trump's attorneys argue it violates his right to free speech. one legal expert tells cnn, the first amendment right must sometimes giveaway to the integrity of the initial process in guaranteeing a fair trial. still to come, negotiations under way for release of hundred of hostages of hamas. and rare good news when it comes to traffic in los angeles. a major highway headache finally over. ♪

all of the babies expected to be fighting serious infections in lebanon according to the w.h.o. sources tell cnn the deal for hostages held could be days away. they say a recent draft for a possible deal popes a four to five-day pause in fighting in exchange for release of 50 hostages. cnn's priscilla alvarez has the details. >> reporter: negotiators from various countries were working on the release of hostages held by hamas expressed rare optimism over the weekend for the direction of those talks. sources tell cnn a draft of a possible deal includes a four to five-day pause fighting for the initial release of 50 hostages and potentially more pauses thereafter. but the sources stress that no deal has been struck yet. and that texts has been going back and forth for weeks, underscoring for weeks underscoring how sensitive the

talks have been. jon finer said the talks have been narrowed down and closer to the negotiations since started weeks ago, but he went on to say nothing is agreed upon in everything is agreed upon. again that goes to show how difficult this is for everyone involved. just as an example how tenuous the talks can be, hamas has stemmed away from the negotiations at least once when israel raided al shifa hospital. another key issue that sources pointed to was how to implement the deal including aid shipments. now, u.s. officials have stressed that this is something they are working on minute by minute, hour by hour, over the course of multiple days. and the president when asked about it on sunday said he couldn't share anything as of yet. but what is clear, all of this is going on behind the scenes, intensively, as they try to reach in resolution on the hostages who are still held by hamas. priscilla alvarez, cnn, the
