President Trump says a peace deal with Iran will be signed Sunday, though Iran has not confirmed any timeline.
“Pakistan's Prime Minister said Saturday he expects a deal done within 24 hours.”
And as D.S., NPR's D.A.D. reports, the two sides have come this close before. The Pakistani Prime Minister, Shevba Sharif posted on X at his country's preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal, followed by technical level talks for the following day. The Foreign Minister, as Hark 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 mid-Eastwater end, Iran and the U.S. have come close before to negotiating a deal, only to have it fall apart, D.A.D. and P.R. News.
President Trump says he intends to nominate one of his former personal lawyers, James McDonald,
to serve as the U.S. attorney for the powerful southern district of New York, which oversees Wall Street.
And P.R.S. Deepashiveram has more. Composted on social media that he'll nominate McDonald to replace Jay Clayton, whose Trump's
“pick to be the new director of national intelligence.”
McDonald formally worked for Trump in the case of Trump's "hush money conviction" appeal. That case was around Trump concealing payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He also worked in the first Trump administration and in the White House Council's office under President George W. Bush. Trump's decision comes after pushback for his original pick for director of national intelligence
Bill Pulti, who had no intelligence experience. Deepashiveram and P.R. News. In Senegal, roughly one "intend children" are cutely malnourished. U.S. far and aid once got life-saving food to them. But now, as N.P. is Jonathan Lambert reports, 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. U.S. foreign aid helped equip community health workers to bring this product closer to kids.
“The Trump administration's massive cuts to foreign aid in 2025 have led to shortages that”
are still affecting families. Tending nom's malnourished nephew had been getting better through the program. Health officials say that this kind of relapses happening to children across the region as a result of the aid cuts. The State Department did not respond to questions about the shortages.
Jonathan Lambert and P.R. News. This is N.P.R. News. Joy is spilling into the streets of New York City. Crowds wearing blue and orange are still celebrating hours after the next one their first NBA title since 1973.
Nick fans, this is not a dream. You're long, long way to send it. Go ahead and cry after 53 years. The mix of finally NBA champions, once again. The next beat the spurs in San Antonio, 94 to 90, you can call it a comeback.
They rallied from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter, just like they've done throughout the best of seven series and the party goes on. A ticker tape parade is set from Manhattan Thursday. lawmakers in Arizona are tripling the state's fund for potential lawsuits over water it shares from the Colorado River with other states.
Alex Hager of Member Station, KJZZ reports.
The fund was set up last year and the new budget will bring it to $9 million.
Arizona could use the money if it heads to a court battle with other states that use the Colorado River or the federal government. Those states are California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico. We've been unable to agree on how to manage water moving forward. State leaders all say they want to avoid lawsuits, but seem far apart on a deal to stay
out of court with a mid-Summer deadline quickly approaching. Earlier this year, Arizona secured an East Coast law firm to represent the state in a potential case. Climate change and drought mean that demand for water is higher than supply and states can't agree about who exactly should have to cut back.
