Live from NPR News and Washington, on Rylan Barton, President Trump has wrapp...
The President went through some of the details of that preliminary agreement in a press conference, as NPR's deepest shiver on reports.
“President Trump laid out some of the broad strokes of his preliminary agreement with Iran at the press conference.”
Trump said Iran will quote work closely with the U.S. to turn over the enriched nuclear material that's buried in facilities deep in the earth. "When we have a chance, we'll do it, but at the meantime, we have cameras on every inch of it. Nobody can do it, and if they do, we'll hit it with patriots, that's all." He said the two sides would begin the technical discussions on the nuclear issues immediately. Any economic relief for Iran as a result of the deal Trump said will be based on merit, and it won't come from the U.S.
though he says other nations may be able to invest in Iran. Deepish of Iran and PR news. The Federal Reserve decided to hold its benchmark interest rate steady today as soaring energy prices have pushed inflation to its highest level in more than three years.
It was Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first rate decision and the central bank hinted its next move could be a rate increase.
And here's Scott Horsley has more on how the Fed sees the U.S. economy.
“I think it's just too early to know, a gas prices have come down from their recent peak,”
but Triple A says the average price at gas is still more than a buck a gallon higher than it was when the war started. And even if tankers start moving freely through the straightaway moves, energy analysts say it could take months before the market stabilizes. So Fed policymakers are projecting slower growth and higher inflation than they were a few months ago, as well as higher interest rates. You know that the rate forecast are usually illustrated with little dots on a chart called the dot plot. But Warsh caused all of those forecasts should be taken with a big grain of salt.
And Pierre Scott Horsley reporting. Federal prisoners have the right to file a grievance to seek to solve a problem like stopping abuse by a guard or another prisoner or asking for urgent medical care. And Pierre's Joseph Shapiro reports an analysis by the Marshall Project and NPR shows the system rarely works in favor of prisoners.
NPR and the Marshall Project looked at records of nearly a million cases going back 24 years.
“In 2023, the last full year of records fewer than 2% of cases got decided in favor of the prisoner and just 1% of appeals for medical care.”
Many cases get decided on technicalities, not on their merits, like a woman at a California prison who complains she was being sexually abused by a corrections officer. But her grievance was denied she said because she mispelled the guard's last name. The Federal Bureau of Prison said the system is set up to quote "solve problems" and be responsive to issues raised by inmates. Joseph Shapiro and PR News. U.S. stocks drop today, the S&P 500's slump more than 1%.
It's NPR News. The Trump administration is helping one of Elon Musk's company's fight allegations that it is illegally running dozens of natural gas turbines to power a data center in Mississippi.

Stephen Colbert got one last zinger in at his former employer, CBS, and it's cost the network money over some iconic music. And appears on Associate Silcus reports.
Linison Lucy is a world famous peanut son, written by composer Vince Garaldi. And the owner of that music, Lee Mendelssohn, film productions, goes after illegal use, assiduously. On his last night hosting on May 21st, Stephen Colbert did a short segment about it.
Now, peanuts is a powerful brand and corporation in and of itself.
And well, we can't play the next part, because the late show Houseband, Lewis Kato, and the great big joy machine started to play Linison Lucy. The peanuts' rights holders promptly went after CBS, which has paid an undisclosed licensing fee. The peanuts' rights holders have donated all that money to World Central Kitchen, the disaster relief nonprofit. An astesate Silcus and peer news, New York.
