“He's expected to talk about the new agreement both the White House and Iran, said they”
have reached to stop the war. There's supposed to be a signing ceremony on Friday, in Geneva. Trump says the agreement will open the Strait of Hormuz, but NPR's carry-con reports no details about the agreement have been released." Lots of questions remain, but Trump says the Strait's opening will happen after
the deal is signed on Friday, and it will begin with a sweeping of the vital waterway of all minds. He said in the past that the pact would entail a 60-day ceasefire, while both sides begin negotiations on a permanent end to the war, and then comes really tough issues, like Iran's nuclear capabilities and sanctions relief.

Ebola continues to spread an Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are at least 782 confirmed cases and 181 confirmed deaths. Response teams are struggling to get the outbreak under control, and at Livingstone reports from iturary province in the DRC. I'm here in Rampara, Ebola Treatment Center, and I'm in a Ebola ward with doctors going from
“isolated room to isolated room checking on Ebola patients.”
All of us are in full protective gear, which includes a bib, two layers of clothing, several layers of gloves, goggles, a mask. It's difficult to describe the level of discomfort, wearing one of these suits. It's very difficult to breathe, and on top of that, the goggles fog up, it's also difficult to see.
These are the conditions under which doctors have to work. The Ebola patients themselves, some of them appear to be in a great deal of pain. We heard some people cry out. The doctor said that at a certain stage of the Ebola virus disease, the whole body aches, and it's extremely painful.
I'm at Livingstone reporting from Iturary Province in Democratic Republic of the Congo. You're listening to NPR. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized. His office says he is receiving excellent care, but yesterday statement did not say if McConnell was hospitalized at home in Kentucky, or in Washington, and it didn't say
why he was admitted or what his prognosis is, the health of the former Senate Majority Leader has been tracked. McConnell was hospitalized in 2023 with a concussion after falling. He then twice froze and stopped speaking in the middle of news conferences later that year.
Iran's national soccer team arrived in the U.S. yesterday, Iran plays New Zealand tonight in Los Angeles. The city is home to the largest Iranian community outside Iran. Activists are planning to protest against Iran during the game, and Pierce RSV Resvani reports Iran's head coach says his team is unfazed.
At a press conference in Los Angeles Sunday, Iranian team coach Amir Fala Noi was asked whether his team is concerned about protests. We're just focused on playing a good high-quality match he told reporters, adding that the team will pay attention to any issues outside the game. Protesters want to bring attention to what they say is Iran's record of human rights
abuse. Many are planning to bring blindfolds, newses, and American and Israeli flags into the stadium. But FIFA, the organization behind the World Cup, prohibits the display of political signs. Security could remove demonstrators from the stadium, pushing Iran's record and reputation
for oppression out of view. Or is it Resvani and Pure News Los Angeles? You're listening to NPR News from Washington. This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery.
Sometimes it's about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
