If you news, I'm Ben Thomas. Hamas says it's sending a delegation to Egypt to continue ceasefire talks with Israel. Karan Shamas says more. The proposed truce with free hostages held by Hamas in exchange for a halt to the fighting and the delivery of much needed food, medicine and water into Gaza. Palestinian prisoners aren't also expected to be released as part of the deal. A new UN report out today states that to fully rebuild Gaza from today would take another 16 years. The results of the report make clear how high the stakes are for a deal. Hamas has insisted it won't sign onto the deal without assurances that if it eventually releases all its hostages, Israel will end its onslaught in Gaza and pull its troops out of the territory. I'm Karan Shamas. N.A.P. Talley finds more than 2,000 people have been arrested since college campus protests began last month against the Israel-Hamas war. President Biden weighed in on the situation today, saying both free speech and the rule of law must be upheld. The Senate is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder or to deny in the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. Look, it's basically a matter of fairness, it's a matter of what's right. There's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos.

This is AP News. In Major League Baseball, a compelling early season battle for the American League East, Craig Heist on how it came out. Ryan Mount Castle and Jorge Mateo each homered and drove in two runs to help lead the Orioles to a 7 to 2 win over the Yankees, taking three of four games in their series. Ryan McKenna also homered for the defending ALE's champs. Kind of building off last year, and the dynamic is about the same, you know, everybody loves each other in here and pulling for one another on and off the field and just there for everybody, so the team looks really good. All three homers came off Yankee's starter and loser Carlos Rodan. Kyle Bradish went four and two thirds innings in his first start since coming off the IL. Keegan Aiken got the win in relief for his first victory of the season. Craig Heist, Baltimore. Our final, Marlin's five Rockies four, Mets top the Cubs seven to six, Giants three, Red Sox one, and the Rangers shut out the Nationals six nothing. I'm Ben Thomas, AP News, thanks for listening.
