"Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Dan Roman.
South Carolina holds a primary election Tuesday with statewide races for Governor Attorney
General and US Senator.
“Five Republicans are challenging and come in Senator Lindsey Graham for the Republican nomination.”
Monday night Graham held a towel rally, President Trump called in, making it clear he supports Graham, and he also thanked Graham for backing the US, erases really war against Iran." They're winning that battle, but you're really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory.
It'll be a total victory to happen very soon, and oil prices will come tumbling down. Three Democrats are seeking the Senate seat. Dr. Annie Andrews is considered the front runner to secure the party's nomination. Five Republicans and three Democrats are also running for governor.
Iran and Israel say they will halt attacks on each other after trading fire.
President Trump called for a ceasefire and says final talks are proceeding, separately Israel says it's shutting down the single crossing for aid in goods into Gaza citing security. NPR's Honest Baba reports Israel closed the Karim Shalom crossing, citing what it calls
“necessary security measures following Iranian missile attacks.”
This helps the entry of all aid and commercial goods into Gaza, as will as the entry and exit of aid workers and volunteer doctors. Additionally, Israel has closed cheek points throughout the occupied West Bank, for their restricting movement between Palestinians it is there. Israel similarly sealed Gaza's crossings in the early days of the U.S. Israeli war on
Iran, but reopened them after U.S. pressure. Meanwhile Israel continues striking Lebanon and Gaza. Gaza's artificial say nearly 30 Palestinians have been killed in Erstreich since Saturday, including at least six on Monday, and as Bobo and Pironu's Gaza City. There are now five confirmed cases of what's called new World Screwworm in Texas.
Monday, agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins was in Texas to announce a war on the Screwworm Texas Public Radio's David Martin Davies reports. Rollins said this is an emergency that threatens the nation's cattle industry, but she wanted to stress that the parasitic fly is not going to hurt the quality of food in the United States.
This does not affect the food supply system. This is not a virus, it is not a disease, it is a pest. And so we obviously are treating it as such, but the food supply system remains intact and couldn't be safer. Rollins also said the U.S. D.A. is deploying resources in Texas, including setting up
animal quarantine zones. Several fly releases via aerial flights and ground release chambers and deploying personnel to set up and monitor fly traps. People are encouraged to check their animals, including pets, and notify authorities that they find screwworm infestations.
For NPR news, I'm David Martin Davies and San Antonio. And this is NPR. The San Antonio spurs one game three of the NBA Finals Monday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. The final score, San Antonio 115, the New York, NYX-11, New York leads the best of seven

One of the most beloved world-cup collector's items is not a trading card or a jersey. It's stickers produced by the Italian company, Penini, collecting them as a decades-old tradition in Europe and Latin America.
It's catching on in the U.S., NPR's Drilling at a Kim reports. For the past few weeks, many soccer fans have been focused on completing a World Cup themed sticker album that requires nearly 1,000 pieces, which are sold in blind packs of seven. Interest in the sticker trace in the U.S. has been picking up over the past decade. And this year is the biggest demand yet.
That's according to soccer journalist Clemente Lise. Because this world cup is being hosted in part by the U.S., Canada, Mexico.
“I think this summer, a lot of first-time people are going to get into the stickers.”
Penini, America, told NPR that retailers in the U.S. reported being sold out of sticker packets within a week of the release. Julianne Kim and Piano's former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman Freed is seeking a pardon from President Trump. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024 for fraud, a federal court found the failure
