On the "NewsHour" striking a deal with Hamas for a multiday pause in the fighting.

Sam Altman returns as the CEO of OpenAI just days after the company's board ousted him, raising questions about the future of artificial intelligence.

And as so many prepare for a bountiful holiday, a growing number of American families are relying on food banks.

CLARENCE ALLEN, New York Resident: Food sta ai But when I come down here, they give me enough to make it through the month.

(BREAK) GEOF After more than six weeks of heavy fighting, a pause in the battle between Israel and Hamas in Gaza will have to wait at least one more day.

Israeli officials tell "PBS NewsHour" there will be no hostages released or mi litary campaign until at least Friday.

The deal would lead to the release of at least 50 women and c and 150 Palestinians detained by Israel.

Nick Schifrin has the latest.

NICK SCHIFRIN: In the hours leading up to temporary peace, there's intensified war.

Israeli jets bombed several targets across Gaza today, including Khan Yunis in the south, where many from Northern Gaza had fled for safety.

When the bombing began, some were praying in a mosque, including Abu Ahmed Al-Agha.

ABU AHMED AL-AGHA, Gaza (through translator): This is an entirely residential area.

They bombed it completely.

The ones who were in these home here to find safety.

NICK SCHIFRIN: In Northern Gaza, Israeli soldiers fought This is fighting on Hamas' home turf inside the residential neighborhoods they use as bases.

The army released video filled with rocket launchers, tunnel shafts and hundreds of rockets.

MAN: Now we are in the tunnel just below the... NICK SCHIFRIN: And the IDF escorted journalists through what Israel calls extensive tunnels underneath Gaza's Shifa Hospital that Hamas used to move and fight.

All of this fighting will pause no earlier than Friday for carefully choreographed hostage and prisoner releases.

Hamas promises to release a dozen wo a total of 50.

And for each additio for an additional day.

Israel promises to release about 35 P A senior administration official said this round was supposed to include all 90 kidnapped children and women, but Hamas could only deliver 50, in part because it's not holding all of them, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CBS Mornings today.

JAKE SULLIVAN, U.S. National Security Adviser: We do assess that other militant groups, even potentially criminal organizations, are holding some of the hostag to try to ensure that it can deliver on its side of the bargain.

NICK SCHIFRIN: In Israel, there remains a tension, the desire to see through th operation and its goal of Hamas' complete destruction and fulfilling the Jewish saying, saving one life is like saving an entire world.

RUEBENA GREENBLAT, Israel: Whatever deal they will come to, whatever number of people will come back, we are agreeing to everything.

Just, we need all the people back, children, mothers, elder, soldiers, everybody, everybody NICK SCHIFRIN: But some politicians opposed holding fire at all, and some Israelis who've lost family in previous terrorist attacks consider released Palestinian prisoners a threat.

GEOFF BENNETT: The Biden White House played a key role in negotiating the hostage deal.

I spoke with National Security Council spokesman John Kirby a short time ago.

Admiral John Kirby, welcome# back to the "NewsHour."

JOHN KIRBY, NSC Coordinator For Strategic Communications me.

GEOF And how many Americans are expected to be in this group?

JOHN KIRBY: We don't know exactly who's going to be in this first increment that will co out.

They will come back in smaller groups over the next few days.

We know that there are three Americans that we expect to be in this inst the whole group of 50.

We just don't kn And we certainly hope that they will be in at least one incre There are two American women and then there's young 4-year-old Abigail Mor -- actually, she turns 4 on Friday, as a matter of fact.

That's her birthday.

So we have every expec are women and children, that those two American women and young Abigail will be among them.

That's our hope.

GEOFF BENNETT: There be missing.

What more do JOHN KIRBY: We don't know a whole heck of a lot.

There are 10 total that we are An d we don't know for sure how many are all in that hostage pool, but we believe there are more Americans that are being held hostage, somewhere up to about 10 total.

And, again, we just don't know exactly where they are.

We don't have information about what condition We 're doing the best we can to get as much information as possible.

But, again, the focus on this first negotiation will be on women and children.

GEOFF BENNETT: Well, as you mentioned, the hostages are expected to be released over a period of four days.

Take us through the chor JOHN KIRBY: So, sometime over the next 24 hours or so, hopefully sooner than that, we will start to see the first hostages move.

And that will be commensurate with a humanitarian pause, a pause to allow for the safe passage of those hostages.

And when that safe passage -- it'll be announced by Qatar.

When that safe passage -- or -- I'm sorry -- when that humanitarian pause starts, then we can expect the hostages will start to move and we will be able to start moving more trucks of aid in over the course of those four days.

We're looking at hopefully several hundred trucks of food, water, medicine be included in the humanitarian assistance over those four days.

GEOFF BENNETT: Israel has said that, for every 10 additional hostages that are Is rael would pause the fighting for another 24 hours.

Could this pause then be extended indefinitely?

Is that something that the U.S. wants?

JOHN KIRBY: Well, the pause could be extended in accordance laid out.

I don't know that we c more hostages, it certainly would appear that Israel would be willing to keep the pause in place.

That would be a women and children.

We wan They shouldn't have been held hostages in the first place.

But we have to see.

I got to tel is for the four days, the 50-plus women and children, and getting that additional hum assistance in.

GEOFF BENNET What is the plan t aid into Gaza and into the hands of innocent civilians, the folks who need it the most?

JOHN KIRBY: We're working with the U.N., we're working with the government of Egypt and, of course, Israel to stack up as many trucks loaded as heavily as they can be with food, water, medicine, and now again fuel, which the Israelis have committed to, allowing to go in tens of thousands of gallons per day over the course of this pause.

And we're gettin in place -- and we're all obviously waiting# with bated breath to see# if it will g -- those trucks can be ready to roll through that R Before the war started, about 500 trucks a day were going into Gaza, not Ra fah, but about 500 trucks.

And now it's a combat zone, so it's a little bit mo But we have thus far been able to get roughly about 100 a day.

We fell short a few days.

We have exceeded i We think that this deal, if it's trucks in over the course of the next few days.

GEOFF BENNETT: Are there concerns that Hamas will use and to reorient for the potential fight to come?

JOHN KIRBY: That's always a concern.

When you're dealing wi allow them to regroup, refit, retrain, resource their troops.

That's always going to be a concern.

I know the Israeli They will certainly be watching An d that's why this negotiation does There was certainly an aspect here of some moral courage by the war cabinet and President -- I'm sorry -- Prime Minister Netanyahu to allow for this pause, because that could be a concern there, that Hamas might use that time.

That's one of the reasons why, quite frankly, we're not in favor o because that does benefit# Hamas to a fare-thee-well,# to allow them additional time and breathing space to prepare and plan for other attacks.

GEOFF BENNETT: Admiral, does this deal, once it's implemented, does i for future agreements, potentially?

JOHN KIRBY: It could.

It certain Again, we're foc The president was personally engaged in helping broker this deal.

We want to see it implemented.

And now we're at that moment.

So our focus is on the next few days and making su But could it open up other opportunities?

We certainly hope so, in terms of getting other hostages out assistance in.

GEOFF BENNETT: Understanding that the day after, on day five, when this pause lifts?

JOHN KIRBY: Well, again, we will have to see where we are.

I wish I could answer that It's difficult for us to put ou We want to see more hostages come out.

And if, at the end of the four days, there's to extend the pause, to extend the agreement, to allow more hostages to get out, that would be a great thing.

And we But, again, I don't want to get ahead of where We really are in the very early stages here of implementation And it's really important to all of us and I know it's important to all the families out there, the families of these hostages,# that this deal get implemented,# and get impl well.

Sam Altman is back as the chief executive of OpenAI.

The hot tech start-up behind ChatGPT not only brought Altman back; it's also overhauling the board that fired him with new directors, ending a dramatic five-day standoff that's transfixed Silicon Valley and the artificial intelligence industry.

Mike Isaac is back with us.

He covers tech for The N All right, Mike, so Sam Altman was asked by By Monday, Microsoft announced that they'd hired him, which is when we last spoke.

And then, late yesterday, OpenAI says, actually, Sam Altman's coming back as chief executive.

What is going on?

(LAUGHTER) I do series of events over the past five days.

Basically, the subtext, I think, here is, essentially Microsoft, w partnership with OpenAI, was using their hiring of Sam and a lot of his executive team as a kind of bargaining chip to basically keep OpenAI still alive.

It's a very important A.I.

company for Microsoft.

A lot of investors have a lot of money tied up in it.

And they would have rather used an independent OpenAI than build the whole thing inside of Microsoft from scratch.

So, essentially, it was a bargaining sort of negotiation between OpenAI's small bo of directors versus Sam Altman and his sort of allies, as well as Microsoft.

And it seems like Sam Altman at least won for today.

We will see what the board looks like in the future, as they begin to expand it more beyo what's called a preliminary board that they just appointed.

GEOFF BENNETT: So what can you tell us about this new board, its current member their vision aligns with Sam Altman's vision?

MIKE ISAAC: Totally.

that, the composition of the board.

The previous board, basically, some of the cr Sam had been slowly whittling it down.

The new board is very revamped.

One person remains.

His name's Adam D'Angelo, fo He was the person trying to reign in Sam Altman for not being consistently candid, which is the reason they fired him.

And the other two are a ma who's seen kind of as a Switzerland, pretty neutral and pretty respectable guy in the valley, as well as Larry Summer, the former Treasury -- sorry -- Larry Summers, the former Treasury secretary of the United States and someone who actually sits on a number of other tech company boards and has a real, deep interest in A.I.

and how it'll affect the future of work and jobs across the world.

GEOFF BENNETT: So, when we spoke on Monday, you sort of fram versus safety versus the acceleration of the technology.

So now where do we stand?

What does all of this mean f sector?

MIKE ISAAC: So I think this -- the figh about.

their idea is push the tech forward as fast as possible so we can use it to help humans.

And there are the folks who are essentially like, let's slow this down and keep it safer.

And I think the newly reformed board, which will expand in the days ahead, is probably going to be more balanced and in the favor of checks and balances that weren't necessarily there before around Mr. Altman, who kind of plays fast and loose with safety, according to his critics.

I do think want this to happen ever again if they don't want the company to be killed by a revolt from its employees and its former CEO, now returning CEO.

GEOFF BENNETT: Yes.

to speak to you twice in# one the opportunity.

(LAUGHTER) MIKE ISAAC: Thanks, Geoff.

GEOFF BENNETT: We are going to shift our focus now to gun violence in America and the fraught question over whether the news media should show graphic images of the carnage it causes.

Does avoiding those images conceal the horror of that violence, or does showing them cause further trauma to people who have already suffered so much?

William Brangham picks up that conversation.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Last week, The Washington Post waded into this debate an images of the damage caused by AR-15-style weapons.

We're going to show a few of them in a moment.

Please be warned, they are very hard to look Th e series is called "Terror on Repeat" and includes some never-befo of recent mass shootings, like how this weapon punched clean through a metal door at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, where 21 were murdered, or how it can in just moments spray countless bullets across a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, where 26 people were killed.

The images get worse, the corner of a classroom at Robb Elementary where wounded children and teachers waited over an hour for any help, in Las Vegas, the dead and wounded laying on a grassy concert field; 60 people were killed that night.

The last image in the series shows some of the victims in Uvalde gathered in a hallway waiting to be carried away.

Matea Gold is a managing editor at The Was Thank you so much for being here.

Extremely difficult reporting that you all have done.

There are more images in this series and a great deal of testimony from so me of these tragedies.

Could you help us understand a MATEA GOLD, The Washington Post: Sure.

We have been spending the last year examining the role And as part of that, in the spring, we actually did a piece that looked through illustrations at the impact that an AR-15 has on a human body.

That was a piece we managed very carefully.

We consulted with family members of victims.

We wanted to make sure in that process But we did want to try to illustrate the really specific destructive force of this w The reaction we got to that piece prompted us to have further conversations, because many in the public actually said we should be going further, that we were actually sanitizing the impact on the body.

And they wanted us t public.

So t Post newsroom, really wrestling with what we owed the readers and the public to show them about the impact of this weapon at a time when mass shootings are on track to really hit record numbers in the United States.

We are balancing that public service mission to rea real challenge with the desire to minimize harm as much as we could, to make sure we were sensitive to family members and survivors.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, is it your sense that the American population does what these weapons, which were designed for the military, as you report, what they really do?

MATE this series is that there's a small group of Americans who have a unique th e destruction caused by AR-15s.

They are the victims, the family members, an And over and over again, we heard from them that what they saw was th at was something that will affect them the rest of their lives.

And it's something we realized that is sort of walled off from the public, jo urnalists don't have access to these crime scenes.

Much of the -- many of the crime scene folks th are kept private, in part because of new laws passed in the wake of the Newtown shooting.

And so, really, what the public usually sees are sort of the iconic images of the crime scene tape and then the memorials.

And we thought there was more to explore and wh at damage was really caused by these weapons.

It was very specific to the force of this gun.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: A year or so ago, we had a conversation with Sandy Phillips, wh you know, is a mother who lost her daughter Jessi in the Aurora ma And Sandy is very pro cracking down on these weapons.

She has spoken very viscerally about what that weapon did to her daughter physically.

But she did not like this idea of images of readily identifiable individuals getting out there.

SANDY PHILLIPS, Mother of Shooting Victim: They can go online and to a watermelon and how it explodes a watermelon.

They can go online and see that damage that it does to a mannequin.

They can see damage that it does to a deer.

They don't need and they aren't privileged to see what that d And I don't want that image ever to be out there for anyone else to see.

So is that something that we as a society really want to do to the families that have already lost so much, had so much taken from them?

I hope not.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: You did not show images of# any readily identifiable individuals.

But what do you make o be re-traumatizing to people?

MATEA GOLD: That was something we took incredibly seriously, and we had conversations with dozens and We heard from family members who felt that they thought very strongly that bo be shown, that that would wake the public up to the damage caused.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Should be shown.

Others f We made a decision in our reporting very early on that, if we were going to show bodies, we would only do that with the full consent of family members.

In the end, we decided it wasn't necessary for really the public to get a fu ll scope of the destruction caused by these weapons.

I think some of the power of the images in this piece are what is a see in the aftermath of what happens after the bodies are carried out of the room.

And we tried as much as possible to weigh how much we needed to put in this story against the effort to really make sure families did not feel traumatized by this.

The other step we -- we took a couple other steps, I think it's important to note.

One is that we went through a process of notifying survivor communities these mass shootings took place that we refer to in the piece days in advance to try to make sure we could spread the word as wide as possible that we'd be publishing this piece, that it could be something very difficult to see if you or someone you love has been in a mass shooting.

We wanted to give We also built in very specific warnings to readers and tried to use very clear language about what they would experience if they decided to go through the story and continue to scroll through each piece of it.

At every step, we want people to be ma they are ready to look at these images.

One of the things that's been so striking about th have written to say that they actually learned something very profound from this piece.

They felt that they did not fully understand what was happening in these incidents, and that was really, I think, what we were trying to achieve, which was a sense of real, clear understanding about what so many Americans have gone through.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: That is the principal goal, in your mind, to hel as you described, this -- what this small circle of people understand?

MATEA GOLD: I think, if we are going to wrestle with this issue as a country, and it's impor for everyone to have sort of a shared sense of what we are talking about, our goal is just to present information, to present clear, powerful journalism that helps people underst the challenges that we face as a nation.

And that was really what we saw as our through line throu And I think the response has been very gratifying, because I think many, many people the fact that they have had the opportunity to understand what so many Americans have gone through.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: MATEA GOLD: Thank you for having me.

She was 16 years old at the time.

This is actually how she described her assault in a CNN interview.

EVELYN YANG, Patient: I was confused, and then I realized what was happening.

And then I just kind of froze, like a deer in headlights, just frozen.

I knew it was happening.

I remember trying to f his face as he was assaulting me.

I was just waiting for it to be over.

AMNA NAWAZ: Laura, why was that interview so i LAURA BEIL: And, at the time, her husband was running for presiden that she had a platform to reach a lot of women.

And she made the very difficult decision to go public on CNN.

And that interview aired in January of 2020.

And immediately after that interview aired, women started coming forward in At the time of the interview, there were maybe about 30 women who had come forward.

A couple of months later, there were 90.

GEOFF BENNETT: In leading museums these days, women artists are gaining more prominence, including in major exhibitions, but studies of acquisitions and overall exhibitions show just how much the gender gap remains.

One institution, the National Museum of Women in the Art dedicated to the creativity and work of women,# and recently reopened after# an extensive renovation.

Jeffrey Brown paid a visit for our arts and culture series, Canvas.

JEFFREY BROWN: When Petah Coyne was just starting out as a young unknown artist in New York in the early 80s, both the work and the artist herself took some by surprise.

PETAH COYNE, Artist: When I was doing proposals for other cities, I would write what I wanted to do, and then they would be at the airport with my name on a sign, and I would get off and they would go: "Oh.

Oh, we didn't think you were a woman."

And I said: "Oh, you thought I was a man."

"Well, no, we didn't think you were a man, And I'm like: "OK. Well, here we are."

JEFFREY BROWN: Today, Coyne's he re at the newly renovated and reopened National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.

They're extraord and, important to Coyne, they take up space.

PETAH COYNE: I just -- I feel like the work has to be big.

And it's all about scale.

If this was small and petite, I think it would look goofy.

It would look like a little Christmas decoration.

I'm not into Christmas decorations.

I'm into, like, I want you to feel wha I want you to walk up near it and have it there in your space, the same way it felt to me.

JEFFREY BROW that greets the visitor, Niki de Saint Phalle's Pregnant Nana, following a two-year $70 milli overhaul that has opened up its floor plan, enlarged its galleries, and given it the ability to show and hang larger works.

And it's an experience with a very specific missio Katie Wat.

wa nted I think there are conventional ideas about what women artists do or how their art looks.

JEFFREY BROWN: And what is the statement?

KATIE WAT: The statement# is that women's is illimitable.

It just doesn't know any bou JEFFREY BROWN: The museum, the first in the U.S. solely dedicated to wom in 1987 by Wilhelmina Cole Holladay in what had been a Masonic temple, ironically a building from which women were once barred.

As the story goes, on visits to European museums of 17th century Flemish artist Clara Peeters, a contemporary of Rembrandt, but were shocked to find no mention of her in art history books.

They set about to collect art by women, which became the basis for the museum.

Now its galleries are arranged around themes showing how women have tackled certain subjects, materials, even colors over time.

Artists of the past such as Lavinia Fontana, Frida Kahlo, Berthe Morisot are connecte to contemporaries such as Petrina Hicks, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Faith Ringgold.

There are artists such as Amy Sherald, whom the museum showed before she became well-known for her portrait of Michelle# Obama, and large-scale# works by artists including Sonya Clark, Alison Saar, and Rina Banerjee in a special inaugural exhibition Katie Wat curated th e Limit.

KATIE WAT: And it's sort of inspired by the landscape of Rio de Janeiro and Carnival and so forth in terms of its color and vibrancy the shapes of it and so forth.

It weighs 450 pounds.

JEFFREY BROWN: What you're feeling is that people still don't expect this th e scale of work, from women.

KATIE WAT: Yes, I think it's true.

I think toward working on a smaller, more diminutive scale.

We want to blow that idea out of the water with this kind of show.

JEFFREY BROWN: But is a museum dedicated to women's art still need been in the 1980s, when the art collective# Guerrilla Girls were creating# their direct-confrontati advocacy art?

Much has changed.

As seen in exhibitions we an d contemporary Americans such as Sarah Sze, and for Petah Coyne herself.

You're exhibited in galleries and museums around the country, around the world.

Is it still important for you to have work here in this museum?

PETAH COYNE: Oh, absolutely.

JEFFREY BROWN: Why PETAH COYNE: I think it's sad that we have to This is what's sad.

I am one of the privileged, I am.

And maybe becaus that are not blessed, I -- and are good -- there are so many good women artists that do not get airplay.

And it's just -- it's terrible.

So, they -- this museum must exist, and I think it shouldn't be the only JE FFREY BROWN: Coyne and museum officials cite damning statistics, including a recent survey of 31 U.S. museums showing that just 11 percent of acquisitions and about 15 percent of exhibitions between 2008 and 2020 were of work by women.

KATIE WAT: I have seen changes over the past# couple of years, and they# ha But I don't know if this is a sea change or if this is the swing o I think that remains to be seen, and so I think our work is still very critical.

JEFFREY BROWN: Is it possible to you to imagine a day when this museum is no KA TIE WAT: My hope is that we will reach that day.

I do think, though, that there's always going th e leaders on this topic, and keeping it in the forefront of folks' mind as we go forward, leading not just for sort of gender equity in the arts, but all kinds of equity in the arts.

JEFF in the Arts in Washington, D.C. GEOFF BENNETT: And that's the "NewsHour" for tonight.

Remember, there's much more online, including a look at seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, which affects some people as the days get shorter, and what treatment options are available.

That's I'm Geoff Bennett.
