Overseas, hope and heartbreak collided as hostages and prisoners were released after 738 days, marking the start of a fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict. 
The hour wrapped with safety tips for residents in flood-prone zones — including evacuation alerts and a new alternative to sandbags: Quick Dam barriers, which activate and expand when exposed to water.
