Speaker 4 (02:41):
Good morning, Ricky, it is Thursday, October ninth. Here's what's
going on in the news. President Trump says Israel and
Hamas have agreed to the first step in a new
peace plan. Apparently, all hostages will be released and Israel
will pull troops back to a set line. Meanwhile, at home,
we are entering day with no movement on ending the
(03:02):
government's shut down. The FAA is warning travelers that flight
delays could get worse because of staffing shortages in air
traffic control. Colorado Congress from Diana de Gad says the
effects are being felt at Denver International Airport.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Our existing TSA staffing shortages have become even worse than
they're about to be in a crisis mode there.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
About seven hundred and fifty thousand federal workers are still furloughed,
and the White House now says that not all of
them will get back paid, despite a law that promises
just that. And after five months on the run, convicted
killer Derrek Groves was captured in Atlanta. He is the
last of ten inmates who escaped to Louisiana jail in May.
(03:46):
Investigators had hardly any leads on his whereabouts until a
crime Stoppers tip led police to a home near Tyler
Perris Studios. After deploying gas and a K nine sweep,
officers found Growths hiding in a crawl space. He's now
headed back to Louisiana to face new escape charges on
top of his life sentences for two murders. For info
