Israel has approved an agreement, brokered by President Trump, which puts the wheels in motion to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas and establish a ceasefire in Gaza.

It comes as U. as US officials say American troops

international stabilisation force planned. President Trump said yesterday that the hostages would be

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says it's bringing back some workers to publish the Consumer Price Index for September.

An administration official didn't specify how many staff would be recalled, but said the department would promptly resume

It's unclear when the report will be published.
