"Live from NPR News in New York City.

the start of the Iran War by Israel and the United States. This morning Israel and

Iran fired retaliatory strikes after Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs, despite

a ceasefire with Lebanon. Iran had said that any attack in the Lebanese capital would be a red line and Beirut's Jaina Raff reports." The attack hit an apartment building in Beirut's southern suburbs where Iran backed his Bola as offices. Israel said without providing evidence that it was a Hezbollah command center.

Iran's National Security Commission said it would deliver a "painful response overnight Israel in retaliation." Iran has tied a ceasefire in Lebanon to a wider peace agreement with the U.S. Jaina Raff and Piyra News, tire Lebanon. At least 15 people have died in the Philippines or officials reported a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the country's southern island of Mindenau. The

epicenter of the Quake is General Santos City where dozens of buildings have collapsed, hundreds are feared injured according to local officials. Sonami advisers have been issued in the

Philippines as well as Indonesia. From Taipei, Jan Kamazin, Brumby reports.

The Philippine President Bonbon Marcos says "The National Government is moving and will not leave Mindenau behind." The Quake struck at a depth of 6.2 miles and was felt as far away as Indonesia, both Indonesia and the Philippines sit on a Pacific ring of fire where TikTok activity causes frequent earthquakes. Officials in the Philippines have advised people to evacuate to

higher ground. The Pacific tsunami warning center warns that waves of up to 3 meters would be possible in the Philippines. With M Piyra News, I'm Jan Kamazin Brumby, in Taipei. The National tsunami warning center also said there is no tsunami, no danger to the U.S. continental coast from the Philippines earthquake but earlier on Sunday, a smaller magnitude

3.6 earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area southwest of Alamo.

The house this week is expected to pass a $70 billion package approved by the Senate on Friday,

which would fund President Trump's immigration agencies through his term in Piyra's Eric McDaniel reports. They're certainly accomplishing a big goal, 3 years of funding through the rest of Trump's term will insulate immigration enforcement from a lot of political pressure, right? They can hold funding back.

And mass deportations were a central campaign talking point for Trump, but it took basically 6 months to get here and they weren't quiet. Public opinions started to turn on immigration enforcement after federal agents killed to American citizens in Minnesota early in the year, and Democrats, of course, shut down the agency that oversees immigration enforcement for months in a failed effort to secure

reforms like body cameras and limits on face covering stuff like that. And Piyra's Eric McDaniel reporting this is NPR News. Police in Toledo, Ohio continued to search for gunmen who opened fire on Saturday night at a popular summer festival, injuring a dozen people. Organizers cancelled all of Sunday's events, and Toledo's most historic neighborhood

while authorities continue their investigation into wood led to the shooting. Former Republican Senator Bob Pacquad has died at the age of 93. The moderate from Oregon, who championed women's rights, was also forced to resign after 20 women alleged sexual misconduct and Piyra's Jordan Murray Smith reports. Republican Bob Pacquad was a controversial figure in American politics while some saw him

as a policy advocate for women's advancement, 20 women accused him of misconduct. Pacquad spent three years under investigation by the bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Ethics. He eventually resigned in 1995. For years, the Senator from Oregon was seen as a feminist ally in the Republican Party.

He took what's private life and his public policy called his record into question. Senator Pacquad died in Rancho Mirage, California, at 93. Jordan Murray Smith and Piyra News. In Congo and neighboring Uganda, the number of confirmed deaths from Ebola is over 90 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Health Authorities in those countries.

But Congolese officials say as of Sunday there are more than 488 confirmed cases and nearly 20 in Uganda making things worth health workers on the front line of the Ebola outbreak said they are working with little or no pay. This is NPR. On June 11th, the globe's biggest sporting event comes to North America, the FIFA World Cup.

The Super Bowl, and you might say, averages something over 100 million live viewers, but

the World Cup final, I think like five times that much.

The favorites, the underdogs, and the Americanization of the world's game. Listen now to the Sunday Story from the Up First Podcasts on the NPR app.
