conversations with Iran. He says until Friday he'll pause any U.S. bombing of Iranian
“power plants. He'll wait to see how talks go. But Iran's foreign ministry says there”
are no talks, only that the U.S. sent messages through friendly countries to Iran and that Iran responded." And Pierre's A.A. Batrawi says it will be hard for any kind of ceasefire talks to get started. There's just no trust, you know, Tehran and Washington were just in talks last month when the U.S. and Israel decided to launch this war. And with Iran's top leaders killed, including its top negotiator last week, it's unclear who
would be speaking on behalf of Iran. Now, Trump has laid out stiff demands for ending the war. He's talked about no nuclear enrichment, degrading its missiles, and he's been clear about Iran cutting off support to Xi'an militias in like Lebanon and Iraq. But Iran has rejected these demands even long before this war began. And it says now that it even wants compensation. And Pierre's A. A. Batrawi reporting. The Senate is confirmed, Mark

President Trump has deployed ice agents to help at major airport security lines. Houston public media's Bianca Seward is at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport. T.S.A. Times here stretch more than four and a half hours. The lines for security sprawl across
two floors. And for many passengers, the travel troubles began Sunday night. Ariana Bassulto was held up in security lines for more than three hours. And Mr. Flight, she came back thinking she was more prepared. Yeah, I got here five hours early. It was not going to look like what it actually is. Way worse than what it actually is today. Ice agents have also been dispatched to the airport, though their role here isn't immediately clear.

This was over limits the Pentagon imposed on journalists. And Pierre's I.A.A. Archie reports the Pentagon plans to appeal. The New York Times sued the Pentagon last year for its media policy, claiming it was unconstitutional.
A judge has agreed, an ordered Pentagon to give to New York Times' credentials back. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell says the correspondent's corridor will remain closed while the agency waits for a decision on an appeal. Reporters will instead work from an expecility that is outside of the Pentagon, but still on the grounds. Reporters will need an authorized escort to enter the Pentagon for press conferences and interviews that have
been arranged to the Pentagon's public affairs office. Parnell says this is a way for the Pentagon's balanced transparency with security. I.A.A. Archie and Pierre News.

French energy giant total energies has now signed a nearly $1 billion deal with the US government.
That is to walk away from plans to develop offshore wind projects and Pierre's Julia Simon. Total energy CO Patrick Puyane describes the agreement to 4-fit its leases for US offshore wind farms as "innovative". Puyane says the company will reinvest some of the money into natural gas and liquefied natural gas projects. Those energy sources release major amounts
of planet heating greenhouse gases. It's the latest blow to the offshore wind industry from the Trump Administration announcing this new deal at zero week by SMP Global Conference Interior Secretary Doug Bergum said offshore wind poses "risk to national security". The administration has so far not specified what those risks are. Offshore wind is a reliable source of electricity in countries like the UK and Denmark.
Julia Simon and Pierre News Houston. Forcasters say Hawaii has gotten between 15-25 inches of rain over the past five days
because of what's known as powerful "conna" storms. More rain is expected today on the
big island of Hawaii and even some snow on very high peaks. I'm Core of a Coleman and Pierre News.
