Twizzlers keep the fun going. Yeah, I know. I just stopped whenever you were listening to to tell you that Twizzlers keep the fun going. Well, irony isn't my forte, but twisty, chewy, yummy Twizzlers sure is.
So think of Twizzlers as a little palate cleanser for whatever's queued up, which, by the way, should be coming very soon. Like any second now. Okay, Twizzlers, time to keep the fun going. Hello from CNN.
I'm Chris Abo with 5 Things You Need to Know for Tuesday, November 7th. Israel says it's making new advances against Hamas near Gaza City, while its prime minister has hinted at future plans for the enclave. In an ABC News interview, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is aiming to control Gaza's security after the war ends, without offering many specifics. As for what's going on in Gaza right now, the UN says services are close to a breaking point.
One of the 569 aid trucks that have entered Gaza since October 21st were carrying fuel, desperately needed to operate like saving equipment. A total of 105 Palestinians have been evacuated to Egypt with serious injuries caused by Israeli airstrikes, according to a CNN tally. Israel's military said today it destroyed several underground tunnels in a residential area in the northeastern part of the Gaza Strip. CNN has not been able to independently verify that claim.
It's in these tunnels where Israel believes many of the hostages taken by Hamas are being held. Do more to fight discrimination, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, or risk losing federal funding. That's Education Secretary Miguel Cardona's message to schools and colleges. And while he says withholding money won't be the first step to making schools take action, he does have it in his toolbox.
Ultimately, if we have to withhold dollars for a campus refusing to comply, we would. Cardona says there's been an uptick in the number of complaints filed with his department in the wake of the Hamas terror attacks against Israel last month, including eight or nine about anti-Semitic or Islamophobic incidents on school campuses. He says colleges and schools are being sent guidance today to remind them of their responsibility to give all students an environment free of discrimination under the Civil Rights Act. It's election day today where abortion rights are on the ballot and fiercely bought contests in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia could be a 2024 teaser.
In Ohio, voters are choosing whether to enshrine a state constitutional amendment. Protecting abortion access advocates day is the only way to stop the state's six-week abortion ban. If it passes, it would be the seventh state to pass a measure like this since Roe was overturned last year, giving Democrats some momentum heading into 2024. Two incumbent governors are up for re-election in Mississippi and Kentucky in tight races.
And in Virginia, all 140 seats in the state Senate and House of Delegates are up for grabs. St. Ann's Harry Enten explains why this state race is a tea lead for next year's national race. Historically speaking, the party that wins the state Senate at least the last few cycles has done very, very well in the next year's presidential race.
Greenland's glaciers are in trouble, with warming oceans rapidly weakening them. That's according to a new study in Nature Communications that lays out just how big of a consequence their destabilization could be for sea level rise. The eight ice shelves the study looks at act as dams around glaciers, protecting them from ice loss. Until now, they've been thought to be pretty stable.
The new study actually found that since 1978, these ice shelves have lost more than 35% of their total volume. This is particularly concerning, as together they hold enough ice to raise sea levels by just over seven feet, or almost two meters, if they melted completely. One of the researchers involved in the study says the future of these glaciers depends heavily on what the world does to produce planet-y and pollution. If you're looking for a missing direct deposit paycheck, we've got an update for you next.
The Federal Reserve says officials are urging banks to work with customers who've been hit by deposit delays and still haven't gotten their money. A human error last week caused delays, according to the Clearinghouse, the company handling the effect of direct deposits. Banks say all the funds are secure, but payments that didn't go through will have to be reset, which can take time. It's not clear how many people are still affected, but Fed officials are signaling that they want banks to waive overdraft or late fees for customers.
The Clearinghouse says it's taking steps to prevent the issue from happening again. Our next episode drops at 5 p.m. Eastern. Until next time.
