"Live from MPR News, on trial Snyder, celebratory gunshots in Beirut, a ten-d...

between Israel and Lebanon took effect today, the truth announced by President Trump

adds to optimism that the Iran war could be nearing it in, and Trump says he could travel

to Pakistan if a peace deal is reached. As MPR's Daniel Kerslapen reports." Speaking next to the Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn, Trump told reporters he would be willing to travel to his llama bod to seal a peace deal. Peace talks in his llama bod last weekend yielded no deal between the U.S. and Iran.

On Wednesday, Trump told the New York Post that more peace talks in Pakistan could be coming yet this week, but the White House has provided no further information. Daniel Kerslapen and Pierre News. President Trump is currently on a campaign-style swing through Nevada and Arizona. His trip comes as Democrat celebrated another especially election victory, New Jersey,

and a Lilliam Ahia, defeated Republican Joe Hathaway to fill the seat previously held by a Democratic Governor Mikey Cheryl. I'm at the ongoing dispute between Pope Leo and the Trump administration and new poll finds an increasing number of Americans say President Trump is not especially religious.

Pierre Jason Drowell says we're on the findings from Pew Research.

7 in 10 Americans say President Donald Trump is not too religious or not at all religious. That's up 8% from the last time Pew asked the question in the fall of 2024. Still, White evangelicals continue to say Donald Trump stands up for people with religious beliefs like theirs. One of the biggest changes today, 80% of Hispanic Catholics say Trump is not too or not

at all religious up from 60% in the previous survey. Latino voters helped return him to office last year. Notably, this poll was conducted earlier this month, just before President Trump harshly criticized Pope Leo on social media. Jason Drowell's NPR news.

President Trump has named his choice to lead the centers where disease control and prevention and impures ping-wong reports that she has a long list of credentials. Dr. Eric Schwarz has served as Chief Medical Officer for the Coast Guard and his deputy

surgeon general in the first Trump administration.

She's a preventive medicine doctor and lawyer with a master's in public health from the uniform services university. Admiral Brett Drowell, which closely with her, has a assistant secretary for health in the first Trump administration. Her academic training and intellect is second to none.

I mean, she's a person of the highest integrity and commitment to service to this country. Schwarz will now go through the Senate confirmation process, which could take several months. In the meantime, Dr. Jay about a chariot will continue to lead but the CDC and the national institutes of health, ping-wong and PR news.

You're listening to NPR news. The acting director of immigration and customs enforcement is stepping down that our officials say Todd Lyons will leave his position at the end of May. Under Lyons direction, I seramped up a rest to meet the demand of the Trump administration. It's not clear why Lyons is resigning, nor who will be replacing him at the head of

ice, which is at the center of the Homeland Security Department funding dispute and Congress. Minnesota prosecutors have charged an ice agent with assault for pointing his gun at the occupants of a car on a Minneapolis highway. The criminal case was announced today. It is believed to be the first brought against a federal immigration officer involved in

the Trump administration's crackdown in Minneapolis. The Artemis two astronauts say they still have not been able to fully process the emotional impact of their trip around the moon. NPR's now green field voice was among the reporters who spoke to the crew today in Houston. The commander of the mission, NASA astronaut Reed Wiseman, says the week since their splash

down in the Pacific Ocean, has been super busy. It's been a week of medical testing, physical testing, doctors, science objectives. I like we have not had that decompression, we have not had that reflection time.

He says their trip was amazing and he wanted to set the record straight about their

spacecraft's plumbing. I just want to say 100 percent point blank, that was a wonderful toilet. He said it flushed just fine. The only hitch was a blocked line that was supposed to dump its wastewater out into space.
