"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump says there will be no deal with Iran except, quote, "unconditional surrender."
“And here's Franco Ardonia's reports, "Trump plans to play a role in accepting the new”
leader in Iran." President Trump has predicted fighting will continue for the next four to five weeks. He's repeatedly said that Iran has wanted to reach a deal, but this morning he wrote on social media that he'll accept no deal, except, quote, "unconditional surrender." He continued that after an acceptable leader is chosen, U.S. will work with partners
to bring Iran back and rebuild its economy. He closed by writing, Iran will have a great future, make Iran great again, adding in parentheses, M-I-G-A, M-E-G-A. Clearly a play on MAGA. His prime leader, Ali Hamanai, was killed in the initial era strikes in Tehran on Saturday.
His replacement has yet to be chosen. Franco, or Donias, NPR News.
“"A majority of Americans say there are against President Trump's war on Iran and to”
support the way he's handling it," as according to a new NPR PBS news, Marist Poll, the found that just 36% approved his handling of the U.S. and Israel's war in Iran. The Justice Department has published some additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor. That's after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld, and here Steven
Fowler reports. "Dio J. uploaded more than 1,000 new pages of Epstein files Thursday evening, they include 18 pages related to claims of sexual abuse by President Trump four decades ago that were previously withheld. And if you are reported on those missing files, the Justice Department said it was looking
to see if that was a mistake. There are still 37 pages of records relating to the allegation missing, also missing, any
“sort of context is to how credible investigators found the claims, or why it was included”
in a Justice Department's slideshow last fall. Steven Fowler, NPR News, Atlanta. "Customs officials are working on a streamlined system to deliver a tariff refunds and here Scott Horsley reports." The companies that paid those import taxes have been wondering when, and how, they'll
get their money back.
Customs estimates had collected some $166 billion from the now outlawed tariffs, refunding
that money, to more than 300,000 businesses will be cumbersome. But the government says it's working on a streamlined process that won't require every important file individual lawsuits. The government says it'll take about a month and a half to set up the program, which will use the same electronic filing system, importers already rely on.
The proposal came after a judge at the Court of International Trade said this week, the Supreme Court left the administration with no choice, but to refund the money it wrongly collected. Scott Horsley, in PR News, Washington. "You're listening to NPR News."
German media group, Alex Springer, is buying the owner of Britain's daily telegraph in a
deal worth $766 million dollars.
It ends a long fight over the telegraph media group, and its Sunday sister paper. Alex Springer says it wants the titles to lead center-right news in the English-speaking world, also wants faster growth in the U.S. market. The telegraph group has faced uncertainties since the Barclay family put it up for sale in 2023, a rival bid fell away, and an earlier red bird, IMI plan collapsed after
the U.K. government opposition. A new study of koala provides hope for plants or animals who have dwindled to low numbers, and appears neatrod has more. When a species population drops precipitously, it can enter what scientists call a genetic bottleneck.
Through individuals mean less genetic diversity, possible inbreeding, and other problems for generations to come. The new study finds that a population of koala's in Australia's south are escaping a bottleneck, thanks to a rapid increase in their population that's helping reshuffle their genetic deck. The koala's situation is somewhat unusual.
Their population boomed on an island, and later the animals were brought back to the mainland, but the findings suggest even small populations of other species. The study's authors say can recover genetic diversity, given enough time, and space. This message comes from wise, the app for international people using money around the globe.
