Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Amy Held.
The US is indicating good progress has been made toward a peace deal with Iran, while
“Iran says one test is ending the fighting in Lebanon, and Israel and has below do appear”
to be keeping to a fragile ceasefire for the second straight day.
And here is carry-con reports. Israel's foreign minister reiterated on social media what several top politicians have been saying for days, Israel will remain in the self-described security zone where it's troops occupied large swath of southern Lebanon. The exact boundaries of that zone, however, are not clear.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touted the interim agreement between the US and Iran as a huge success for Israel. There's widespread dissatisfaction in Israel for the US Iran preliminary plan. Israel is not part of peace talks, nor a new plan announced for a so-called "deconfliction cell" to ensure compliance to the ceasefire in Lebanon.

Argentina's leanal messy has made world cup history this afternoon, and PR's William
Disjohn's reports.

goal of the tournament today against Austria. That was despite missing a penalty earlier in the game. He took his total tally of World Cup goals to 17, becoming the top scorer in men's World Cup history. Messy is widely regarded as the best player of his generation during his two decade

The majority of Americans who need a kidney transplant never even make it onto an organ
waitlist.
“That's the conclusion of a new study of patients referred for the procedure NPR's Maria”
Gidoi reports. Only 12% of people on dials are registered on the kidney transplant waitlist. Researchers at NYU Langone wanted to know what kept them from making it onto the list. They found that patients who were unmarried, lived in rural areas, or had severe obesity, were less likely to start or complete the needed evaluations.
Older, poor, and Spanish-speaking patients were especially unlikely to move forward with the process. All told fewer than one in five patients referred for a transplant made it onto the waitlist. The researchers say the battery of tests and doctor visits required may be hard for patients to navigate if they lack social support.
The findings appear in the Journal of the American Society of Nefarology. Maria Gidoi and PR News. This is NPR News. Russia's war in Ukraine has had broad ecological consequences among them are air and water pollution, plus uncontrolled wildfires.
PR's Nate Rot reports on a new study that finds the war has also changed to animal behavior. Before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, scientists had set up game cameras in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a massive area surrounding the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in northern Ukraine. And with little human interference, wildlife has flourished.
Then during its invasion, Russia moved in stage troops through the air, fighting a curtain, and the game cameras kept recording. Scientists now say the disturbances caused many mammals to change their behaviors. Dear species, red foxes and mousse were all less active during the fighting, especially at night, suggesting that warfare can have broad consequences on ecosystems even after the
fighting has stopped. Nate Rot and PR News. Pink Floyd, a wreath of Franklin, Whitney Houston, just a few from a long list of iconic artists whose careers Clive Davis guided over five decades. He died today at the age of 94.
In 2013, the longtime music producer and label executive spoke to NPR's Don Gagne. "You give the guidance that you can based on your expertise, and so for me I keep the bar up there." Davis started as a lawyer saying he knew nothing of music, but analyzing chart-topping hits helped him understand what made a song successful. Enter listening to NPR News.
This week, on sources and methods, we unpack the memorandum of understanding signed by President Trump, which he says will pave the way for a formal peace deal with Iran.
