Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump says Israel and Hamas have accepted the first phase of his plan for ending the war in Gaza. A ceasefire is supposed to start later today. Hamas is to release Israeli hostages. Israel will free a number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Many world leaders are praising this news, but NPR's Ayyad Batrawi reports some Palestinian reactions are muted.
There were sporadic celebrations overnight after Trump's announcement, but the past two years of war in Gaza are a nightmare that continues. Ahmed Ait says he doesn't have faith that this is the beginning of a lasting peace, as Trump says. Where are we going? He says how can he be happy after all the blood that's been shed? How can he be happy when he's still living in a tent with his children displaced from their home? Aid says he's lost more than 150 relatives in Israeli attacks on Gaza and that people are living on the streets without food or water. Under the plan, Israel must lift restrictions to allow hundreds of trucks of aid in per day.
What recent developments have occurred in the Israel-Hamas conflict?

The fight over whether President Trump can send National Guard troops into two American cities continues today in federal court. State and local officials from Portland, Oregon, and from Chicago, Illinois, are fighting the troops' deployments. NPR's Jacqueline Diaz has more.
Just yesterday, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary ruling. The National Guard can stay under federal control but may not enter Portland. The court said it will issue a broader legal ruling after today's hearing. President Trump has said National Guard deployments to American cities like Portland and Chicago are needed to protect the work of immigration agents and to reduce crime. But local officials from those cities say troops are completely unnecessary. A federal judge will hear arguments in the Chicago case this afternoon, while the Ninth Circuit panel reconvenes on the Portland, Oregon case. Jacqueline Diaz, NPR News.
This year's Nobel Literature Prize has been awarded to Hungarian novelist Laszlo Krasnohorkai. His first novel, Satan Tango, published in 1985, is considered his breakthrough work. It's about a group of poor residents in rural Hungary living on an abandoned collective farm. Steve Sem Sandberg is with the Nobel Prize Committee.
It is Laszlo Krasnohorkai's artistic gaze. which is entirely free of illusion, and which sees through the fragility of the social order combined with his unwavering belief in the power of art that has motivated the Academy to award him this prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded tomorrow. On Wall Street and pre-market trading, Dow futures are trading higher. This is NPR. This is the ninth day of the federal government shutdown. It can't end until Republicans and Democrats come to terms on a spending bill. No agreement is in sight. The Senate is expected to take another vote on a spending measure today. Meanwhile, federal workers are not going to be paid. That includes members of the military. They will miss their first paycheck on October 15th. A new study in the journal JAMA Psychiatry finds that the legalization of cannabis has caused more people with psychosis to use the drug. As NPR's Ritu Chatterjee reports, people with psychotic illnesses are more vulnerable to the negative effects of cannabis.
Dr. Andy Hyatt is a psychiatrist at the Cambridge Health Alliance near Boston. Me and many of my colleagues have been seeing over the past several years just a marked rise in the rates of cannabis use among people with serious mental illness. Most of his patients have schizophrenia, which can cause psychosis. And Hyatt and his colleagues wanted to know if what they were seeing in their clinics represented a national trend. So they looked at a national data set of more than 50,000 adults that scientists had followed from 2014 to 2022.
