most of the H.S. except for the agency's immigration enforcement operations. The House could vote as soon as today, Congress under pressure to finalize a deal before the start of the spring recesses weekend. President Trump has delayed a threatened U.S. strike on Iranian energy infrastructure and extended a deadline for reopening the strait before it moves until April 6.
Trump says talks with Iran are going while Iranian leaders are begging to make a deal. And Piersiah Petraori reports on the back-channel messages. Egypt Foreign Minister actually met with some reporters in Cairo on Wednesday, and he told our producer, and the other journalists there that actually was President Trump who asked Egypt to reach out and get this going. So it was actually -- it doesn't seem to be -- that
Iran was the one that asked for this, but rather it was the White House President Trump himself who asked for this. Iran has said it is not engaged in talks with Washington, then has rejected a 15-point cease-fire proposal as one-sided and unfair.
“A global policy for unpredictable world inflation will surge due to energy shocks brought”
on by the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran. In Piers' Eleanor Beardsley reports a Paris-based group of wealthy nations says the U.S. will have the highest inflation rate. Mattias Corman is general director for the organization for economic cooperation and development. He presented the group's downward revised economic outlook for the next two years.
This conflict and he related energy supply shock have now lowered a projected path for global growth this year and next.
He says U.S. inflation will surge to 4.2 percent, more than one percentage point higher

It will worsen in 2027 said Corman, if the conflict doesn't end and the straight-of-hormous reopen, Eleanor Beardsley and Piers-News, Paris. And a swayler's house to President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were back in federal court
Thursday in Piers' Ryan Lucas reports.
“Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores have pleaded not guilty to the charges.”
At the hearing in federal court in Lower Manhattan both Maduro and his wife were dressed in beige jumpsuits and headphones through which they listen to the proceedings via an interpreter. The hearing focused on a dispute over allowing the Venezuelan government to pay for the Maduro's legal defense. Maduro's attorney says the U.S. isn't allowing Venezuela to pick up the tab.
He says that interferes with Maduro's constitutional right to counsel and the case should be dismissed. Prosecutors say the Venezuelan government can't pay because it is under American sanctions. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein did not rule from the bench on the matter and noted that this case is unique.
