Iran has not confirmed the timeline, and PR's D.A. Hadid has details. The Pakistani Prime Minister shared Basharith posted on ex that his country is preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal, followed by technical level talks for the following day. The Foreign Minister's hard-dired post did similar news saying the US 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 mid-Eastwater end, Iran and the US have

come close before to negotiating a deal only to have it fall apart, D.A. Hadid and P.R. News. The Trump administration says it's killed the leader of the trendy Iraq War Cartel in Venezuela. In coordination with the Venezuelan government, Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett said in a statement on ex, the attack took place earlier this week, and in collaboration with Venezuelan

Security Forces, and P.R.S. D.A. Shiveram has more.

Keep in mind, the strike is coming at a challenging time for Trump and his presidency. On a global stage, the president is still waging a war with Iran that he and Israel started. It's been disastrous for the economy and his poll numbers. And so to him, this attack in Venezuela is a win. It's something he's presenting as a win in recent days.

He's been talking about how successful US relations are with Venezuela and claiming that that capture of Maduro, you know, the US took over Venezuela, so to him, this is really a success, and in the middle of everything else going on in the world stage, something that he's really touting as a win.

who's tried to put his stamp on the nation's capital. Jackson balances accountability, it's about not being able to do something just because

you think you're the most powerful person and you can defy the courts.

Bruce had she thought it was also an attempt to spare the president further humiliation. Frank Langford and P.R. News, Washington.

Jonathan Lambert reports, aid cuts are causing shortages. Ready to use therapeutic food can bring a malnourished child back from the brink.

Historically, families in Senegal had to go to a doctor to get this, but U.S. foreign aid helped equip community health workers to bring this product closer to kids.
