on where things stand at this hour. plus, we will talk to the doctor leading the team, treating the released hostages, as we learn more about their time in captivity. meanwhile, israel released more than 100 palestinian prisoners in the last four days, mostly women and teenagers. we will look at who they are, and any moment now, first lady and president biden are due to arrive in georgia to attend the memorial of former first lady, rosalynn carter. we begin this hour with more on the breaking news in the israeli and hamas war. this morning israel and hamas are accusing each other of violating the pause in fighting as it enters into a two-day extension. last hour, the senior adviser to prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed the potential breach of the truce. when our perspective, i think the incident is closed and we are still on, i believe, for the release of ten additional hostages, women, men and children tonight. today s hostages are part of an additional 20
want to be there to say this is what it costs, this is what you re asking us to do, and if that s the case, i ll go. families like mine are the ones that bleed first. senator kirk, 30 seconds to rebut. i ve forgotten that your parents came all the way from thailand to serve george washington. what? that from the supposedly anti-bigoted wing of the republican party. senator kirk suggesting that sis his asian american opponent was born if another country she must be lying about her ancestors in america. congresswoman duckworth was born to an american father and a mother of thai and chinese descent. there s been members of my family serving in uniform on my father s side going back to the reeve o lugs. i belong to the william penny daughters of the american revolution. if you go to illinois you ll see a statue put up of me. here s a photo of her next to that statue. after that debate kirk tweeted his sincere apologies to
