14 分钟Good morning. It's Tuesday, October 7th.
I'm Shamita Basu.
This is Apple News Today.
On today's show, the country's disaster relief agency faces its own crisis.
A cost-saving tool in private health insurance is coming to Medicare,
and there's good news for clumsy people.
But first, today marks two years since Hamas attacked Israel, killing more than a thousand people,
and sparking a new era of conflict that has become,
in the words of the UN Secretary General, an endless death loop.
Over 67,000 Palestinians are reportedly being killed in Israel's retaliative war,
and 48 hostages remain in the hands of Hamas militants, 20 of whom are thought to be alive.
Negotiators will meet again today in Egypt to discuss President Trump's ceasefire proposal in what feels to many like a decisive moment in the war.
On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio described it as, quote,
the closest we've come to getting the hostages released,
and described the talks as having two parts.
Phase number one, which Hamas has accepted, is the president's framework for release.
The hostages are released, and Israel pulls back to what's been called the yellow line,
roughly where they were in August of last year.
And that exchange happens.
And that's the first phase of these talks, because you have to work through the logistics of that.
