President Trump says a peace agreement with Iran should be signed today, but his NPR's
Deepish Ivoran reports, Tehran, has it confirmed where it stands on the deal." Trump posted on social media Saturday, touting the agreement that had not yet been finalized. He said it would ensure Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, and after the deal is signed, the straight of Hormuz would open. The talk is done, which has been facilitating the peace deal says the deal would be signed virtually.
Despite launching a war with Iran and launching new attacks last week, in the post, Trump claimed his administration's relationship with Iran is better than under previous presidents. Deepish Ivoran and PR News.
“The Department of Transportation is no longer enforcing a key civil rights law after a”
rule change was implemented last week. The Zool-Dostrum Echman 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. Very devastating that that tool is being taken away given the long history in the United States of Transportation and for structure 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-Dostrum Echman. The Federal Reserve will meet this week to discuss interest rates after May's high inflation report.
“NPR's Steven Bessaha reports, this will also be the first press conference for Kevin”
Warsh as the Fed's new chairman. President Trump made it clear before nominated Kevin Warsh said he wants a Fed to cut interest rates. But when policymakers meet Tuesday and Wednesday, they're expected to keep rates steady. May's strong job report, lessen the argument that a cut is needed.
May's consumer price index puts more pressure on the Fed to raise rates at some point after prices rose 4.2% over the last 12 months. Investors will watch closely what Warsh says for signs about the Fed's future interest rate plans. Tuesday was provided the latest on home construction from May after the market slowed down
in April. New home starts with down 9% in April from a month earlier. Steven Bessaha and PR News. The Trump administration says it will comply with the court order and resume processing
“of asylum and immigration applications from people in nearly 40 countries.”
The move came after an Afghan national was charged with shooting to national guard members in Washington DC last year. Asylum applications had been put on hold preventing many people from obtaining green cards and other immigration benefits. This is NPR.
The New York Nicks are this year's NBA Champions, beating the San Antonio Spurs 94 to 90 in Game 5 last night. Steven Nesson from Ember Station WNYC reports it's the first NBA title for the Nicks in 53 years. In forkering Brooklyn, known for its vibrant community and leafy brown stones, multiple
parties spilled out into the streets blocking traffic. As hundreds of fans watched the game, projected on the side of a building. They held their breath until the final second, and then the streets erupted in cheers. With tears in her eyes, 32-year-old Cassie Santos and her 8-year-old son Kaden couldn't believe it finally happened.
"I feel like I feel like I have defeated a child that I never even was a part of."
Mayor Zaron Mombani announced the city will hold a parade for the Nicks on Thursday. They'll be presented with the keys to the city. For NPR News, I'm Steven Nesson in New York. NARA Organics is recalling its organic baby formula sold at target stores and online after federal officials linked it to infant botulism in several states.
Health authorities say three babies in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington became ill after consuming the formula this spring. If in botulism is caused by bacteria that produces toxins in the gut, the FDA says NARA Organics accounts for less than 1% of U.S. infant formula sales. I'm Windsor-Johnston and P.R.
