AP News, I'm Ed Donohue, in Italy at the G7 Summit President Biden was asked today if he talked with world leaders about a ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hamas. Are you confident it's going to be done soon, sir? No. I'm not. I haven't lost hope but it's coming soon. Displaced Palestinians are desperate to return home and rebuild while Israelis yearn for dozens of captives taken by Hamas to be freed. Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who was in the middle of the chaos during the Capitol riots, says it's ironic to see former President Donald Trump at the Capitol today and Republican lawmakers embracing him. This tremendous unity in the Republican Party. We want to see borders, we want to see strong military, we want to see money not wasted all over the world.

Michelle Hendrickson is with students for life. She's not giving up. This is absolutely not the end of the road. We do believe that we will be back in the court. There are women all over the country with standing, we can come forward now. This is just that first step. The door has been open to have this conversation, to put the FDA in check.

This is AP News. A family of gospel soul singers is releasing their first new music in nearly 50 years. That is the Staples Junior Singers off their album Searching Out Friday. The siblings were kids when they formed in 1967, taking their name from one of their influences, the Staples Singers. The group faded and they all moved on, until a collector found their record in 2019 and put it on the radar of David Burns Luaka Bop Record label. Singer Annie Brown Caldwell says their newfound popularity is a surprise. "This is the time that we get older and it seems like the Lord just now started pouring out the blessing for my youth." The Staples Junior Singers are in their 60s, but they're performing again with a group that now includes their grandchildren. I'm Archie Zaraletta.
