Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over the ceasefire deals on this week have been
“postponed, after intense fighting between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group”
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Iran says those attacks have to stop before talks can continue, and a senior official tells NPR, Israel and the militant group later agreed to a ceasefire. And here's Greg Myri has more on how Iran is fearing in the war started by the U.S. and Israel, more than three months ago.
Iran looks like it emerged with a stronger regional position, yet conditions inside Iran are probably more challenging than ever. Iran's government endured a major military campaign by the U.S., the Iran inflicted all this punishment on Gulf Arab states, and it shut down the straight of Hormuz. But this is also the government that's widely unpopular inside Iran, it killed thousands
of protesters back in January, according to Human Rights Groups. And here's Greg Myri reporting. A portion provider say they will offer medication abortion to people in Missouri for the first time in years.
“This after a judging Kansas ruled many of the restrictions, violates the state's constitution.”
Seraphantum of Member Station St. Louis Public Radio has more. State voters in 2024 approved an amendment that put the right to an abortion in Missouri constitution. The state's planned parenthood affiliates soon sued to strike down dozens of restrictions governing the procedure that they say violated the new law.
In the meantime, providers resumed some abortions, but said the rules made prescribing medication abortions impossible. The new ruling found rules such as a 72-hour waiting period, and a rule that requires tissue to be sent to a lab after an abortion, are now unlawful under the new amendment. The state's attorney general says she'll fight to appeal the decision to the state's
Supreme Court. For NPR News, I'm Seraphentum in St. Louis. Today is June 10th, marking the day near the end of the civil war when enslaved people
in Texas were finally liberated by union troops.
It was more than two years after the emancipation proclamation. And Pierre Scott Newman says, while many white southerners tried to withhold the news of President Lincoln's proclamation, one historian says some likely ended up inadvertently revealing it to their own slaves. Lincoln historian Harold Holzer says the 1863 emancipation proclamation was explosive news
that many slave owners tried to suppress. Yet they often discussed it openly, wrongly assuming that illiterate enslaved people would not learn about it through overheard conversations. He's being discussed right in front of the news. Holzer says that as union troops pushed into the south, they distributed copies of the proclamation
and spread the word to ensure that it was understood by all that slavery was over. Scott Newman and PR News. This is NPR. The United States plays Australia today in the men's World Cup soccer tournament. And Pierre's Becky Sullivan reports, "It's still not clear how much or if Christian

his left calf muscle. In last Friday's game against Paraguay, Policic took a kick to the calf from an opposing player and had to come out a half-time. Coach Mauricio Pojitino said, "Policic is making a quote massive effort to try to be ready, but he could not say whether he'd be available to play."
