"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst.

President Trump says a Pee still with Iran will be signed tomorrow, though Iran hasn't

confirmed that timeline. As Empire's dear Hadid reports, the two sides have come this close before." The Pakistani Prime Minister shall bar Sharif posted on X that his countries preparing for an electronic signing of the Pee still, followed by technical level talks for the following day.

The Foreign Minister as Haqq died posted similar news saying the U.S. Iran negotiations were in their final stage. The Iranian Foreign Minister's spokesman was reported in Iranian media, as saying the deal will include releasing billions of dollars that's been frozen in Gulf banks. And he says at this stage, the deal will not address Iran's enriched uranium.

While there appears to be momentum for the latest Middle East Water End, Iran and the U.S. have come close before to negotiating a deal, only to have it fall apart.

Dear Hadid and Pee on News, the Department of Transportation is no longer enforcing a key

civil rights law after a rule change published this week. From a conversation KQED, a zool-dolstrum eckman has more. The DOT is dropping disparate impact protections. That's the part of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that says federally funded projects can't discriminate against protected classes, even if it's unintentional.

Laurel Pajad Seekins of the non-profit firm Public Advocate says Title VI forced everything from transit agencies to highway projects to ensure they weren't causing unintentional harm. "Very devastating that Tual is being taken away given the long history in the United States of Transportation and the structure of being inequitable." In an executive order last year, President Trump said he would eliminate disparate impact

protections, calling them unconstitutional. For NPR News, I'm a zool-dolstrum eckman. In eastern Congo, volunteers are going door to door to raise awareness about Ebola and despite

efforts to contain the virus it continues to spread, and at Livingstone reports.

In Buenia, in a Tory province, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, people no longer greet each other with a handshake. Teams of volunteers have been going door to door to raise awareness about the disease. City residents consistently tell the volunteers that they don't have the money to buy disinfectant and they implore the government for help.

Officials figures say that 139 people have died from Ebola, but the actual number is probably far higher. On Friday afternoon, a man riding on the back of a motorbike taxi in Buenia, vomited blood, and then died on the street. His driver fled the scene.

Although his death hasn't yet been confirmed as due to Ebola, stories of similar incidents have become common, and there's a feeling that people are increasingly wary. For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Buenia.

And you're listening to NPR News from Washington.

President Trump says he's nominating James McDonald, a former member of his personal defense team, as U.S. attorney for New York's southern district. He would succeed Jay Clayton, whom Trump nominated to be the Director of National Intelligence,

as prosecutor in the powerful Manhattan Post.

That nomination does require Senate approval. Trump's nomination of Clayton as DNI comes amid congressional pressure to replace Tulsi Gabbard, and in the face of intense bipartisan pushback over his decision to name Bill Pulti, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting DNI director. T-Mingland is dealing with an unexpected setback ahead of its war-opening World Cup match.

Police say equipment was stolen from a team-van in Kansas City, where the English squad has been training. Greg Ecklen has more. The equipment was being shipped from West Palm Beach, Florida, where England had been holding a preliminary camp.

According to the Daily Mail in the UK, Boots be longing to England, Captain Harry Kane, and midfielder, Jude Bellingham, were among the stolen items. The Kansas City Police have acknowledged the theft in a statement and arrested to people. England is one of four nations with a World Cup team base in the Kansas City area, but the only team among the four that isn't playing a match in Kansas City.

England is scheduled to play their first match on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas, against Croatia. For NPR-Neeers, I'm Greg Ecklen and Kansas City. The USB Paraguay in the first World Cup game yesterday and faces Australia next week. I'm Janine Herbst and PR News in Washington. This is our glass.

On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery. Sometimes about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.

I don't know what I've never seen this happen.

This is true. Mysteries have every size each week, this American life, wherever you get your podcasts.
