Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to stop the heavy fighting in southern Lebanon.
“The attacks had threatened to unravel a tentative agreement between the U.S. and Iran.”
The agreement came after a heavy exchange of fire killed at least 47 people in Lebanon and 4 Israeli soldiers. Hezbollah and Israel began fighting shortly after the initial attacks on Iran back in Lake Feb. after his beloved began launching attacks toward Israel in support of Iran. Commercial ships are now moving through the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. signed a preliminary
agreement with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait, speaking a joint-based Andrews on Friday, President Trump, said that it's good news for the U.S. "Our country is doing so well, the ships are flowing out of the Hormuz Strait, like nobody's ever seen before, actually. There were a lot of them, about 700 of them in their pouring out. The oil is all over the place. You're going to see oil drop so low. I hope
the companies are happy about it."
“The Strait is a critical conduit for much of the world's oil and natural gas.”
The newest Air Force One plane, which was gifted to President Trump from the Qatari government arrived ahead of schedule Friday, a joint-based Andrews and Maryland and PR's Ava Burger reports. President Donald Trump addressed service members in front of the jet-painted red-white in blue. He praised the early delivery of the luxury Boeing 747.
"This plane was transformed into a flying white house at a level of luxury that nobody's ever seen before. Probably even almost outside of an airplane. Nobody's ever seen anything like this." The Qatari government gifted the plane to Trump last year. Industry groups originally
said the plane could be worth about 400 million. It was one of the biggest foreign gifts
“ever received by the U.S. government. Because of that, it raised legal and ethical questions”
at the time. The plane will now undertake omissioning flights as a "final exam" before the President officially uses it. Ava Burger and PR News "Science is say they've found the oldest known traces of the plague and prehistoric teeth and PR's Nate Rott has more on our story." At international team of researchers were doing a genetic analysis of ancient human teeth
found in southern Siberia when they found a surprise. DNA belonging to the bacteria that causes the plague. The 5,500-year-old bacteria was different from later versions that caused the black death in Europe millennia later, but the study's lead author, Rory McLeod, and anthropologist at the University of Oxford, says its existence in hunter-gatherers changes a long-held theory. "The theory was that we shouldn't see major devastating outbreaks
of its disease at effect in power communities until the neolithic until we have this farming revolution." When people started living in closer quarters, this new finding he says shows dangerous pathogens can affect people in all social structures. Nate Rott and PR News "And you're listening to NPR News." At least one person was killed Friday when two trains collided north of London. Both trains were traveling to London's St. Pancras station when they hit outside the town of Bedford.
Police say a number of other people were injured, one passenger city saw a number of people with broken bones and bloody injuries. An investigation into two baby giraffes who went missing for more than a year and had on a happy note when they were found safe. And as MPRs Amy Held reports, the owners of Virginia Zoo are now facing animal cruelty charges. At six feet tall and well over 100 pounds newborn giraffes stand out. Still too vanished in April 2025 from Virginia's Natural
Bridge Zoo. The state attorney general's office said this week they found them. They did not say where. The zoo's owners and staff had been charged with animal cruelty. Accused of abusing dozens
of animals, underfeeding and crowding them which they deny, worldwide more than a half million
animals are held at unacredited wildlife attractions. A new Virginia state law aims to protect those animals. Inspired by the baby giraffes, the law bans early separation from mothers. These as yet unnamed young giraffes have a new home at a conservation park in Georgia. Their mothers are there too. Amy Held and PR News.
