>> Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
Vice President J.D. Vance is speaking in Switzerland at the Sauer as talks between the U.S. and Iran are set to resume there. >> Can we turn over a new leaf?
“Can we change relations in the Middle East permanently?”
Or do we go back to doing things the old way? Which is not our preference, but is certainly very much something that can't happen. NPR's Rob Schmitz reports the talks were called off on Friday after renewed fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. >> The meetings in Switzerland were supposed to begin on Friday, but were postponed
after a heavy Israeli bombardment of southern Lebanon that killed dozens of people. The Iranian delegation warned that talks would not advance without first addressing Lebanon. Despite a stated ceasefire there, Israel continues to exchange fire with Hezbollah, the Iran fact militant group. Iran said it closed the street for moves in response to these strikes, but the U.S. military
denied Iran's claim that it was controlling the street. President Trump is right new imposed U.S. tolls in the shipping lane if a deal with Iran is not reached. The talks will also include Pakistan's Prime Minister, Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
“and U.S. Special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Woodkov.”
Rob Schmitz and Pianus, Berlin. >> President Trump is claiming without evidence that vandals may be responsible for the problems plaguing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. And PR's Marie Andrews of its reports, Trump says the recently renovated pool may have to be trained again for repairs.
>> Trump launched a $14 million renovation ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary, but
it has not resolved on going issues with the pool, including algae, and the newly installed blue lining has been peeling away. One visitor to the pool, Maryland resident and former Olympian David Hurn, was arrested on Friday and charged with the storing government property. Hurn says he merely reached into the pool to touch one of the already dislodged blue pieces
and denies the charge. In post-santruth social Saturday, Trump said without offering details or evidence that the pool was slashed with the knife and vandals poured in corrosive chemicals. Trump also said he met with contractors and the pool will likely be trained for repairs. Marie Andrews of its NPR News, Washington.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency and response to a massive warehouse fire in Los Angeles. Fire Chief Jamie Moore says the blaze at a cold storage facility is becoming increasingly complex as tons of food inside the building begin to decompose. >> If you can imagine the food inside your refrigerator with no power, no refrigerant, starting
to rot, and then opening up your refrigerator door, that's about where we are now. So once we get this fire put out, the challenge that we have before us is the removal of all that product. >> The current conditions inside the warehouse are complicating efforts to bring the blaze under control.
This is NPR. >> A fast-moving wildfire in central Utah is forcing the evacuation of the town of Eureka. The iron fire has burned more than 13,000 acres since it started Friday and remains largely uncontained.
The officials say homes, ranchers, and critical infrastructure remain at risk.
The government of Norway will severely limit the use of artificial intelligence in its schools. Terry Schultz reports declining test scores have led the Nordic country to rethink how it teaches children. >> Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Garstori announced a near total ban on generative AI and elementary
“schools saying research shows that its uncritical use increases the risk of skipping important”
stages of learning. Older students between 14 and 16 can begin to use AI tools under teacher supervision according to the new plan. And those age 17 to 19 should be taught how to use AI appropriately in order to incorporate it into their further education and work, concluding that over reliance on technology contributed
to the country's declining test scores, Norway banned smartphones from schools in 2024, and Parliament is due to consider legislation this year making the use of social media and illegal for children under age 16. For impure news, I'm Terry Schultz. >> France is putting emergency crews and military forces on alert as a dangerous heat wave
grips parts of Europe. About a quarter of the country is under a red heat alert with temperatures expected to reach 104 degrees Sunday and climb even higher Monday. Paris landmarks including the Eiffel Tower have set up missing stations to cool visitors. This is NPR News.
