“President Trump met with French President Macron”
in front of the press on the first day of the G7 today, and Piers Eleanor Beardsley reports. They spoke about the wars in Iran and Ukraine. - I'm so glad he's put these tools at work this weekend. - President Macron said the Europeans are ready
to help ensure the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and could deploy frigates within days. - So I don't think we're gonna need much help, but I don't think it's a bad idea to have a ship or do up here from a few countries.
You'd be a great country to do it. - A reporter asked when the agreement with Iran would be made public. - It's not like the Obama document, which was just a terrible document.
It's a very powerful document,
and I wanted to be released, so probably pretty soon. - He was referring to the 2015 nuclear accord reached between Iran, the US, the EU, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Trump said now that the Iran conflict is solved,
he may turn back to the war in Ukraine. Eleanor Beardsley and Pierre-Nous Paris.
“- Ukraine officially opened negotiations”
for European Union membership today. The process requires the country to commit to political reforms while still fighting a Russian invasion. Ukraine views EU membership as a security guarantee for its future. Moldova was also sent to officially begin its membership
negotiations too. The process could take both countries several years. Some European nations want to fast-track Ukraine's membership. California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom says President Trump has ordered the Justice Department
to investigate him and his wife.
Newsom says in a video posted online
that federal agents and recent days have knocked on the doors of his friends and former employees and have asked for records. - Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets.
He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president. Because he hates that I've consistently called him out. Over and over again for his lies and deceit. - Newsom did not provide details and the Trump administration declined to comment.
Parts of Texas are experiencing dangerous flooding
“after heavy rain drenched the state overnight.”
The storm threat could continue for days. His Lucie Ovasquez reports from the Texas Newsroom. - Nonstop heavy rain has flooded roads and stranded vehicles across much of central Texas. Authorities say they've already conducted several water rescues.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Cody Lindsey says the storm is expected to shift towards Southeast Texas later this week. - We're going to be looking at repeated rounds of heavy rainfall potentially impacting Southeast Texas,
including the Houston metro areas we go through the middle of the week with some potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. - Lindsey says tropical moisture from Mexico is feeding into the storm system
raising the risk of severe weather not only in Texas but across much of the southern U.S. This includes part of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. - For NPR News, I'm Lucie Ovasquez and Houston. - Oil prices eased after the U.S.
and Iran reach a tentative deal to get the global flow of crude oil going again. It's NPR. This Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether states can use juries

constitutional rights, Florida, and five other states use six person juries for some criminal cases. One of the world's leading brain research facilities is announced that it's shifting its emphasis from fruit flies to transparent fish.
NPR has a John Hamilton reports that the goal is to understand how the brain controls an animal's behavior. - A fruit flies brain is covered by a shell, making it hard to study.
So the genelia research campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is making a big bet on Daniel Nella, a tiny transparent fish whose brain is clearly visible. Jerry Rubin, a senior group leader at genelia,
says the change will open up new research possibilities. - If you really want to understand how the brain is working as a whole, you really need to see all the neurons firing at once. - That won't be easy, though.
Daniel Nella have three times as many neurons as a fruit fly, so genelia is counting on artificial intelligence to help its researchers make sense of what they're seeing. John Hamilton and PR news. - Oh, Wisconsin Beagle breeding farm,
that's drawn animal welfare protests is closing, and it's remaining dogs are being taken in by a Florida rescue group, big dog ranch rescue and announce that it's reach an agreement for the permanent closure of original farms

- This is true. - This is true. - Mysteries of every size each week,
