From the New York Times, it's the Headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Monday, October 20th. Here's what we're covering this morning. Around 3am Eastern, widespread outages started for hundreds of websites and apps. The issue A disruption of Amazon web services, which a lot of companies rely on for data storage and running the back end of things. In an update around 5:30am Amazon said its cloud services were mostly up and running again, but the list of affected companies includes everything from McDonald's to Netflix to the messaging app Signal to cryptocurrency platforms. The outages underscore just how much of the Internet runs off of Amazon services. For more Updates, go to nytimes.com in Gaza yesterday, a new round of Israeli strikes killed at least 40 people, according to health officials there and many others were rushed to the hospital as the fragile week old ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was put to the test. The Israeli military said it carried out the strikes after Palestinian fighters fired on its troops, killing two soldiers near Rafah. Hamas's military wing said it wasn't aware of that clash and that it lost contact with its fighters in that area months ago. In another flare up of violence, Israeli forces opened fire on a car on Friday that they say crossed into an area controlled by the military. That attack killed at least nine people, including four children. A relative of the victims told the Times that they were all members of the same family and that he thinks they got lost and crossed into the Israeli zone by mistake. The Israeli military often publishes warnings about where civilians shouldn't go, but over the course of the war, many Gazans who either don't have cell service or became disoriented in the devastated landscape have been unsure whether or not they're in those restricted areas. Last night, despite both sides accusing the other of violating the truce, Israel and Hamas said that they are still committed to maintaining the peace deal. Now three updates on the Trump administration On Saturday, in thousands of locations across the U.S. demonstrators took to the streets to protest the administration. Events were scheduled in all 50 states. In New York City, officials said more than 100,000 people turned out and the crowds at one rally in Chicago stretched for 22 blocks democracy looks like. At the protests dubbed no Kings Day demonstrations, people said they felt like Trump had crossed the line from behaving like a president to acting like a monarch. Some of those who marched and held signs told the Times they were outraged by a wide range of issues. The deployment of federal troops in American cities, government layoffs and immigration raids. You know, the domestic community, they are a community. So we're pretty much here to fight for those that are scared to come out their house, scared to go to school. The kids aren't. In response to the protests, Republican leaders denounced them as a, quote, hate America rally. When asked if the president had a comment on the demonstrations, a White House spokeswoman replied by email, quote, who cares? I think it's a joke. I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country. President Trump himself later claimed without evidence the events were funded by what he called radical left lunatics. And the White House posted an AI generated image of Trump and Vice President J.D. vance wearing crowns. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you for having me.
