and i m alex marquardt in washington. next up we have the whole story with arnd cooper investigating the whole history of the running of the bulls. good night. every summer, cities across spain participate in a centuries old tradition called the running of the bulls. it began as a way to transfer bulls from the country to inside city walls, where they were either sold or used for bullfighting. the most famous bull run is in pamplona. it s part of the san fermin festival. and it has attracted tourists from all over the world since ernest hemingway popularized it in his 1926 novel, the sun also rises. but the event is not without controversy. many of the bulls who run are later killed in the bullfighting ring. animal rights groups have been calling for an end to this in spain. and it s also dangerous for the people who choose to run. cnn s david culver, went to the san fermin festival to take a a closer look k at y ththis traditionon still hols after so many centuries, and

you are live in the cnn newsroom. i m alex marquardt in washington alongside kaitlan collins in tel aviv. jim acosta is off tonight. thank you for being with us. we are continue with our breaking news coverage of the war between israel and hamas. a nightmare that began seven weeks ago has finally ended for several israeli families. today a third group of hostages was finally released from the gaza strip. in just the past few hours, we ve watched as they arrived at hospitals in israel to be reunited finally with their loved ones. and for the first time tonight, we re also seeing some of those emotional moments. families inside hospitals finally embracing after weeks of heartbreak and uncertainty. these are 13 of the 14 israeli hostages released today, women and children. 13 of them ranging in age from 4 to 84 years old. there was a 14th israeli who was also a russian national, and then three more foreign nationals also freed today, bringing the total to 17. today we saw the
