Live from NPR News and Washington, on Corva Coleman, President Trump has just...
to attend the G7 summit with leaders of other industrialized nations. He's expected to discuss the deal his administration has reached with Iran to stop the war. Some nations in the mid-East have welcomed the deal. Dury Biscaraan reports Iranians are expressing relief and anger. Hardliners opposed to the deal accused Iran's top negotiators of betraying the country's
former Supreme Leader.
It was killed in U.S. Israeli air strikes in February, but many Iranians critical of
their government reacted to the deal with a sense of grim relief. In one voice note sent to NPR by a woman who asked to remain anonymous due to the risk of arrest, she said she supported the war at first because she thought it would bring regime change, but the people who pay the price of war are every day people, she says. "Bam is a negative side of you, though I'm a negative side of you."
It's better that we just continue the current dog-like life we have. We don't need a constant danger of death on top of it as well.
“If the regime can't be defeated by war, then why should there be a war at all?”
She says. Friend Pyrenees, I'm Dury Biscaraan, Istanbul. Before he left for France, President Trump hosted a UFC fight night at the White House
last evening, and beer is more alias and has more.
The President celebrated his 80th birthday with the entertainment he wanted, an unprecedented and violent mixed martial arts spectacle. Fighters were seen warming up barefoot in the ceremonial rooms at the White House. The fight was controversial. Trump's critics say instead of focusing on the UFC fight, a new White House ballroom or
a triumphal arch, Trump should be telling Americans how he plans to lower inflation, keep rural hospitals open or make it easier to buy a home. But the White House says Trump like all presidents can do more than one thing at a time, and they point to Trump's announcement of a deal with Iran to end hostilities and the
“fact that right after the cage match, he flew to France for the G7 summit.”

Snapchat TikTok YouTube Instagram and X are among the platforms that will be banned for children in the UK by early next year. British Prime Minister Kear Starmer announced the ban in a televised statement from 10 Downing Street. Today is a big moment for our country.
This is a big step, real change for our children and our future. He said this full ban was not a decision he had taken lightly, but that it was the right choice because he said social media is making children unhappy and unsafe. Fatima Al-Qasab and Piannis London.

It's for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate. President Trump is endorsing Congressman Mike Collins for the nomination. From Member Station, W.A.B.E. Alex Helmick reports. Trump announced his endorsement in a post on social media. Trump called Collins a warrior and said he was supported by, quote, "the most highly respected
maga patriots in Georgia and beyond." The endorsement, again, pits the president against Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp, who has endorsed Collins's opponent in the runoff, former football coach Derek Dooley, Trump and Kemp had dualed over Georgia's election results in 2020 when the president falsely claimed fraud in his loss to President Joe Biden. The winner of this runoff will face Democratic incumbent Senator John Osoth and what
is likely to be one of the most expensive races in the midterm elections. For NPR News, I'm Alex Helmick, in Atlanta. A word winning children's author, Jane Yolan, has died at the age of 87 at her Massachusetts home. That's according to a family statement.
