Details@capitalone.com Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Noura Ram. President Trump leaves for the Middle east this afternoon to celebrate the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. He's to speak to the Israeli Parliament and to meet with the families of Israelis held hostage in Gaza. The hostages are expected to be released soon. NPR's Daniel Esterin has more from Tel Aviv.

Hamas has until noon local time on Monday to free 20 living hostages and free all the deceased hostages that they can find. They could be freed as early as today, but we're hearing more likely that it would be happening very early in the morning on Monday. And then Israel is expected to free Palestinian prisoners and detainees, nearly 2,000 of them. That will likely happen Monday late at night, just like we've seen in previous releases.

NPR's Daniel Estrin reporting from Tel Aviv. Money for a federal program that subsidizes service to rural airports is set to continue through early November. NPR's Joel Rose reports. The Trump administration had previously said the funding would run out this weekend.

Earlier this week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said funds for the Essential Air Service program could run out as soon as Sunday if the government shutdown continues. The program subsidizes flights to rural airports in about 170 U.S. communities, including more than 60 in Alaska, that would likely not have regular airline service without it. But the Department of Transportation has now pushed that date back to November 2nd. It's not clear if passengers would notice any change even then. At least one carrier, Alaska Airlines, said it would continue service even without the subsidy payments, and smaller regional carriers would likely do the same, at least in the short run.

Coastal areas are expected to be hardest hit by the storm. Forecasters say it could dump more than 3 inches of rain from the Carolinas to New England through Tuesday. Powerful winds that could gust up to 60 miles per hour are the top concern. Authorities warn the winds could cause significant beach erosion down power lines and worsen flooding. Airlines have already canceled dozens of flights across the country and delayed more than 7,000. In New York City, empty tractor trailers and tandem vehicles will be banned on bridges and tunnels beginning this afternoon. Many outdoor events are being scrapped. Staten island, one of New York's five boroughs, canceled its half marathon in the name of public safety. For NPR News, I'm Bruce Konfiser in Greenbrook, New Jersey.

And in the space of just six weeks in 1972, she wowed audiences both in the Godfather and in Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam. Five years later, she won a best actress Oscar for the comedy Annie hall while also starring in the searing drama looking for Mr. Goodbar. And that back and forth continued throughout her career. Knockabout farce in the Father of the Bride movies, star crossed romance in Something's Gotta Give, and even a cartoon mom to the title character in Finding Dory.
