Iran now says the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed until the end of the US blockade
“on Iranian ports its revolutionary garden avi said Saturday night that any vessel approaching”
the Strait of Hormuz would be considered as cooperation with the enemy and be targeted. French President Emmanuel Macron said that it accused the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, killing a French UN peacekeeper in Lebanon and Pierre Zalana Wise has more. Florian Montaurio was killed in what Macron described as an attack on the UN's peace service. Three additional soldiers had been injured as well.
Macron said, quote, "Everything suggests that Hezbollah was behind the attack. The accusation against the group comes just a day into the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon." The Israeli military says it has conducted strikes against a threatening target in Lebanon.
Within a million people in Lebanon have been forced out of the south of the country
where Israel is trying to create a buffer zone to prevent Hezbollah from firing rockets and to northern Israel. Alana Wise and Pierre News These early military meanwhile said Sunday that one soldier was killed during combat and southern Lebanon, adding that nine soldiers were wounded.
“Pope Leo says he has no interest in the fight with President Trump, Trump attacked”
Leo and social media this week after Leo blasted tyrants, he said, "We're ravaging the Earth with war and exploitation," but the Pope says those comments weren't directed at Trump. The talk that I gave, if the prayer meeting for peace, a couple days ago, was prepared two weeks ago.
Well before the President had ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting.
And yet as it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate again the President,
which is not my interest at all. His concern is recovering from an onslaught of heavy rain and severe storms this week, my on-silver of member station WUWM reports. People were still trying to dry out from heavy rains and flooding from earlier in the week, when more rain hit.
In Milwaukee County rivers overflowed and intersections flooded, leaving people in cars stranded. People like Maddie Salswazio, who was rescued by firefighters. After a couple of minutes, we just realized that we were in the water and then we couldn't get out, so we pulled into the middle and we turned on our hazards, and then we were there
for probably like 30 minutes. For many in Wisconsin, this week's rain is bringing back not so distant memories of last August's record rainfall and flooding, which received a natural disaster declaration. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has declared a state of emergency. For MPR News, I'm Ayan Silver in Milwaukee.

Some migrants expelled from the U.S. have begun to arrive and can show up in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's part of a migration pack signed by the two countries and at Livingstone reports. The first group of migrants deported from the United States arrived in can show up Friday with other groups expected to follow soon.
The Congolese government said 15 people had arrived so far and that their stay will be temporary. The U.S. government will foot the bill. Otherwise, very little is known about the migration deal signed between Congo and the U.S., but it comes as Washington is trying to broker and end to the conflict in eastern Congo and
it also follows an economic agreement signed between the U.S., a mineral rich Congo last year. The deal has come under fierce criticism in Congo where millions of people have been displaced by conflict. For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Canchasa.
