| 0:00.0 | Today is Monday, October 20th. We'll update you on the ceasefire in Gaza after the worst day of violence since President Trump declared peace in the Middle East. Also, why President Trump released former Congressman George Santos from prison and how the Louvre got robbed in just seven minutes in broad daylight. Plus, why one British royal is giving up his titles, what new research shows about COVID-19 vaccines and |
| 0:21.9 | cancer, and how Taylor Swift sparked a windfall for sea otters. Those stories and even more |
| 0:27.3 | news to know coming up. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, all the day's news in around 10 |
| 0:34.7 | minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so |
| 0:39.4 | much for being here. You're ready. Let's do this. Well, the ceasefire, President Trump |
| 0:47.3 | helped broker in Gaza faced its first major test over the weekend. But despite some violence, |
| 0:52.7 | it's still in place for now. Israel's military |
| 0:55.3 | accused Hamas militants of killing two Israeli soldiers, so Israel launched a new wave of deadly |
| 1:00.8 | strikes and paused the transfer of aid into Gaza. Gaza health officials say dozens of Palestinians |

| 1:28.3 | governed in the future. Vice President J.D. Vance says he may visit Israel in the next few days |
| 1:33.0 | to, as he said, check on how things are going. To be continued. Huge crowds marched all over |
| 1:40.7 | the country in protest over the weekend. The No King's protests were meant to |
| 1:44.5 | express outrage at some of President Trump's policies that critics consider to be authoritarian, |
| 1:49.7 | for example, immigration raids, troop deployments within the U.S., cuts to federal programs, |
| 1:54.3 | and more. All policies President Trump says are necessary to rebuild a country in crisis. |
| 1:59.5 | Organizers say there were nearly seven million people |
| 2:01.7 | who protested at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states. Several states like Texas and Virginia |
| 2:07.2 | actually mobilized the National Guard ahead of time, but police say the protests were mostly peaceful. |
