What did President Trump say about ending the Gaza war and hostage release?
Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahlisa Kowtoo. President Trump is now back at the White House after a quick trip to New York to watch the US Open Men's Single Championship game, where Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz beat his rival Yannick Sinner of Italy. Landing at Joint Base Andrews, Trump was asked about a new US deal to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of the remaining hostages.
We're trying to get it ended, get the hostages back, get it ended. We got them all back, but twenty. And as you know, we have twenty, plus there are a lot of
A day earlier, authorities in Gaza released new casualty figures on the seven hundredth day of war between Israel and Hamas. Saying more than sixty four thousand people are dead and at least ten thousand are still missing.
How are public protests in London reflecting the growing tensions over the Gaza conflict?
Over in London, the number of arrests made at yesterday's pro Palestinian demonstration has risen to eight hundred and ninety. As Vicky Barker reports, public feelings remain raw around the Gaza War.
While police were hauling off hundreds of protesters holding signs in support of the proscribed Palestine Action Group, some 20,000 other demonstrators were marching through London at one of the regular Saturday actions opposing Israel's war in Gaza, with a number holding signs accusing Israel of genocide. At the same time, an organization called the Campaign Against Antisemitism had organized its own march for Sunday. The share of the British public holding views deemed anti Semitic has doubled in five years, it says, and many British Jews now conceal outward signs of their faith to avoid intimidation, even violence.

in London. South Korea says it's reached an agreement for the release of workers who were detained in Georgia last week. They were targeted during an immigration raid at a Hyundai plant.
What is the story behind the detention and release of South Korean workers in Georgia?
And Pierre's Anthony Kune reports the South Korean government is expressing concern and regret over how the arrests were handled.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, quotes Presidential Chief of Staff Kanghun Chick, is saying that officials have concluded negotiations for the release of the detained workers, and once administrative procedures are complete, a chartered plane will head to Georgia to bring the workers home. Authorities raided the plant on Thursday and arrested more than four hundred and fifty workers, including more than three hundred South Korean nationals, for alleged immigration violations. The plant is run by South Korea's Hyundai and LG companies. It's an example of the kind of high-tech factories both the Biden and Trump administrations have tried to attract to the U.S. Anthony Kuhn in PR News Sol.
And this is NPR News from New York City. There's a clear upset in Sunday's provincial election in Buenos Aires.
Why did the Broadway revival of *Cabaret* close early after Billy Porter’s withdrawal?
Argentina's opposition left leaning Peronist party secured forty seven percent of ballots counted in that country's biggest province, while President Javier Malay's newly formed La Libertad Avanza Party received just thirty-four percent of the votes. At party headquarters, Malay conceded his loss and said. If anyone wants to begin rebuilding and moving forward, the first thing they must do is accept the results. He added they were not positive. We suffered a setback and we must accept it responsibly. The twenty four million dollar Broadway revival of cabaret is closing earlier than planned after withdrawal of actor Billy Porter. Set to close on october nineteenth, it will now close on September twenty first.
Jeff London reports.
What were the results of the recent Buenos Aires provincial election and their political impact?
The revival, fresh from rave reviews in London, opened in April of twenty twenty four with a record-breaking twenty-four million dollar price tag, the highest for a Broadway revival. The August Wilson Theater was extensively modified into an environmental setting and rebranded the Kit Kat Club. Eddie Redmane played the MC. But reviews were mixed to negative, the weekly break even was high, and once Redmain left, ticket sales went down. The final cast replacement in the role was Billy Porter, but he had to withdraw due to sepsis.
