"Life from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor-Johnston.
with Iran will be signed today, Tehran has not confirmed any timeline. NPR's DEA report the two sides have come this close before." The Pakistani Prime Minister, Shariv posted on X at his country's preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal. 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-east water end, Iran and the U.S. have come close before to negotiating a deal only to have it fall apart. Dear DEA 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 deal 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 nonprofit firm Public Advocate says Title VI forced everything from transit agencies to highway projects to ensure they weren't causing an intentional 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 Azul Dalstermekman.
“Photers and Switzerland went to the polls today to decide whether to limit its population to”
attend million people by the year 2050. It would be the hunt for the first country in the world
to consider an official cap. Terry Schultz reports a yes vote could set up a clash with the European Union over free movement roles. Switzerland's current population is just over nine million with more than a quarter of residents born elsewhere. The constitutional change at stake in this vote would require the government to restrict asylum and residency permits if that number reaches nine point five million people before the deadline of 2050, which official projections indicate will
happen. The vote is driven by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, which is long sought to limit immigration and which currently holds the most seats in Parliament. The government opposes the cap. Many of the foreigners come from the European Union. Switzerland is not a member but has
“agreements in place with the block to allow significant freedom for cross-border working and living.”
Those would have to be changed. Polls indicate the result will be close for NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz and Brussels. This is NPR News in Washington. Celebrations erupted across New York City last night after the next clinch their first championship and more than five decades they beat the San Antonio spurs 94 to 90 in game five of the NBA Finals. The next erased a fourth quarter deficit and outscored the spurs 29 to 18
in the final period to seal the win. Celebrations are taking place across Scotland after the country's World Cup win over Haiti, Vicki Barker reports from London. Never mind that kickoff came at 2 a.m. local time or that commentator's tucked outed occasionally lackluster performances by both teams. Across Scotland venues showing the game in Boston were packed with fans,
celebrating this Scotland's first World Cup soccer victory in 36 years. Many had never seen their
team even reach the World Cup in their lifetimes. The zero-one win leave Scotland on top of group see ahead of Brazil and Morocco. They'll face Morocco in Boston on Friday. For NPR News, I'm Vicki Barker in London. The White House is preparing for tonight's ultimate fighting championship on the south lawn. Organizers expect roughly 43 hundred guests inside the venue while tens of thousands more are expected to watch from a nearby fan zone, a federal judge
declined to block the event clearing the way for the competition to be held. This is the NPR News in Washington. This is our class. 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. This is true. Mysteries have every size each week. This American life.
