Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Skivone.
Pakistan's Prime Minister is reporting this morning. He's anticipating a U.S. Iran peace deal within the next 24 hours. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullins says the news on a potential deal looks good for the U.S. but there are uncertainties. I wouldn't call concessions.
The president has made it very clear what he wants to do is tie the entire Middle East into the Abraham Accords. We understand that economic ties keeps countries from fighting them on each other. When you're a economy is tied together, you're less likely to destroy your economy because of your dislike for someone's religion.
And so the president has made a very good deal here. If there are any regime and I say, "If," we'll accept it.
“The problem is, is there any regime as a regime you can't trust?”
Mullins spoke on CNN's State of the Union, separately former President Barack Obama spoke
to ABC News and said ultimately, "This latest deal won't deviate much from the one
his administration forged." It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked for, for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out of it. President Trump is celebrating a big birthday today as NPR's Mar Elias and reports.
Trump is 80. Happy birthday, Mr. President. And generational change and age are big issues in the midterms. His critics say that Trump has been showing signs of decline, closing his eyes in White House meetings, although the White House denies that he has fallen asleep.
NPR's Mar Elias and the President's birthday festivities include a big mixed martial arts display on the south lawn of the White House.
“The Department of Transportation is no longer enforcing a key civil rights law after”
a rule change was implemented last week. Zool-Dolstrum Eckman from Member Station KQED reports. 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 Paget Seekens 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. I'm stating that the role of 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. This is NPR News.
“After 28 years, the Scotland men's team competed in the World Cup in Boston last night.”
The return was triumphant, beating Haiti one to nothing. Eve Zucker from Member Station W. B. R. reports thousands of fans flew in from Edinburgh to Boston. The Legion of Fans' known as the Tartin Army is happy to be known for their "kilts" and their partying.
They described pandemonium in the stands when fan-favorite John McGin scored the lone
goal of the match in the first half.
But long-time fan Jim Noble described the game play with one word, "Poor." The Tartin Army will get to see Scotland play again next Friday when the team faces Morocco. For NPR News, I'm Eve Zucker in Boston. Accepting the 2026 NBA Championship trophy from the League Commissioner in San Antonio

Sometimes about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
