Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
President Trump is pessimistic about the fate of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.
“The ceasefire began in early April and has been in question after recent attacks by both sides.”
Trump's assessment comes as the U.S. and Iran have traded ceasefire proposals, but come to no agreement. And PR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more. Trump is not putting a positive spin on where things are. I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support with the doctor walks in and says, "Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living."
He did not elaborate on what might end that ceasefire or what would come next. He said he didn't even finish reading Iran's latest response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, calling it a "piece of garbage." Trump has expressed disappointment with the negotiation process before and threatened military action, but has so far not followed through on those threats.

18 Americans aboard a cruise ship hit with a haunt of iris outbreak have returned to the U.S.
as NPR's ping-hong reports they're staying in a specialized facility for observation and treatment. Early this morning, U.S. cruise passengers arrived at the University of Nebraska Medical Center,
“home to a federally funded quarantine unit.”
Dr. Michael Wadman oversees the facilities in which 15 passengers who don't have symptoms are quarantining. 15 that were welcomed here were in good shape, they were in good spirits. They definitely were tired and needed some rest so we did a quick assessment. One passenger who tested mildly positive for haunt of iris is staying in a higher level by a containment unit, and two passengers were sent to Atlanta, a couple in which one person has symptoms.
They're staying in bio-containment at Emory University. Health officials, so the passengers would be monitored for symptoms over 42 days, though after an initial assessment, some may do it from home. Ping-hong and PR News.
The Trump administration's state department says it did not take part in a form about international migration
at the United Nations last week and rejects the document that was adopted there, and PR's Michelle Kalman reports on how the administration is trying to redefine refugee issues. U.N. members dates met last week to recommit themselves to what's known as the global compact for safe orderly and regular migration. But the U.S. State Department says its goal is not to manage migration,
but to foster what it calls "remigration." That is getting migrants to leave the U.S. and return to their home countries. In the statement, the Department also accuses the U.N. of trying to advocate for and facilitate "replacement immigration in the U.S. The State Department did not explain what that means,
though the language echoes that of the White Nationalist Great Replacement Theory. Michelle Kalman and PR News, the State Department. Oil prices rose as the war with Iran threatens to drag on, but U.S. stocks still inch to more records. This is NPR News.
British Prime Minister Kier-Starmer has vowed to prove his doubters wrong as he faces calls to step down after poor local election results for his Labour Party. Starmer says he will tackle big challenges, restore hope and rebuild Britain's relations with the European Union, but his position is fragile.
And after the speech, a string of lawmakers called for him to announce it a parterdate, they include several ministerial aids in an apparent coordinated move. New research suggests a brain-controlled hearing aid could make it easier for people to communicate noisy places, and PR's John Hamilton reports on a study in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
The study used a hearing system that responds to a person's own brain waves. Neema Mascaraniya of Columbia University says the system detects a special signal produced when the brain is trying to focus on a specific sound. That gives us a signature that we can look at someone's brain, and then we can decide, oh yeah, this is the source that they want to listen to.
When the signal appeared, the system automatically amplified the corresponding voice and filtered out competing voices. Researchers say a hearing aid that works this way could solve a major problem for people with hearing loss, picking out one voice in a crowded room filled with speakers.
