Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattinglay.

President Trump says an agreement to end the war between the U.S. and Iran will be signed later this week in Switzerland.

Pakistan mediated the deal which is also meant to end the fighting in Lebanon involving

Israel and Hezbollah as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports. Pakistan's prime minister says there will be a "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony is set for this Friday in Switzerland, and there will be technical talks before then.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister tells state media that once the U.S. lifts its naval blockade and the deal is signed, there will be a 60-day period of negotiations on other issues. At the top of Iran's list, the end of all U.S. sanctions. President Trump wants Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions, but his message on

truth's social focused on the first step, getting oil flowing through the Strait of

Hormuz, Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Washington. President Trump is on his way to France for this week's G7 summit, NPR's Franco or Donas has more. President Trump will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron among other European leaders who he is quarreled with over trade, Ukraine, and security.

A senior U.S. administration official not authorized to speak publicly, said Trump will also visit with Middle Eastern leaders and attend a working session with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and G7 leaders.

The official added that Trump will quote meet with G7 leaders to address key issues of

shared importance, but ongoing tensions in the Middle East will undoubtedly color the week of talks. Trump has bilateral meetings planned with the leaders of Qatar, the UAE, Egypt, and India. Jorj's governor is calling state lawmakers into special session this week to examine how the state will process ballots in the November elections, a whole valley with member

station W. A. B. E. and Atlanta says Jorj's voting system has been a target of President Trump's for years. Jorj's current voting system prints out a voter's choices and a QR code which is what is counted. After his 2020 loss in Jorj Trump and his allies claim votes had been deleted or switched. A 2024 Republican back-state law bans the use of QR codes to count ballots

after July 1st of this year. Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffinsberger hopes lawmakers extend the deadline rather than switch to something like paper ballots.

Marks can be incomplete and human interpretation is necessary.

Jorj's ballot includes the reelection bit of John Ossoff, the only Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator running this year in a state one by Trump in 2024. For NPR News, I'm Ronald Bally in Atlanta. This is NPR News from Washington. The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions for the second time. Carolina beat the

Vegas Golden Knight's last night, three to nothing. The Hurricanes won the NHL's Championship series for games to two. Carolina's Captain Jordan Stahl was named the series most valuable player. Carolina won its first Stanley Cup 20 years ago. Even Spielberg's science fiction thriller Disclosure Day was number one at the box office

over the weekend. NPR's Bob Mandela reports. Aliens may or may not be lurking among us, but movie patrons have been hanging on to the possibility this weekend. What are you going to do? Full disclosure. To the whole world. All what's displayed may open to the whole world

all at once and in three days racked up ticket sales of 93 million dollars, about 44 million

of it in North America. That Spielberg's best start for a film that wasn't a sequel. Also performing well, the low budget thriller obsession, which has now had four consecutive holdover weeks with higher ticket sales than it's opening on Hurtough for horror films. Obsession has taken in more than a quarter of a billion dollars worldwide, about 300 times what it costs to make, Bob Mandela and PR News.

found is currently filled with pants. I don't know what I've never seen this happen. This
