Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
The U.S. is waving sanctions on Iranian oil as part of an interim agreement to end the war. The U.S. and Israel began in February.
“The development emerged today as Vice President J.D. Vance wrapped up talks with Iranian officials”
in Switzerland. Vance says Iran has agreed to allow UN nuclear inspectors into the country, but a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry told a state news agency that Iran had made no new commitments for inspections and here's Franco Ortonia's reports. Vance at the U.S. team of negotiators made very good progress and met several objectives.
That includes establishing a mechanism to demine the state of Hormuz and another to help maintain the ceasefire in Lebanon. But he said they were most excited that nuclear inspectors from the international atomic energy agency would be returning to the country. The final deal is the house.
We set the foundation. We haven't built the house, but we've laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people.
“Vance also addressed the possibility of unpreasing Iranian assets, which he said the U.S.”
and Qatar would manage Franco Ortonia's and Pianos, the White House. The former mayor of Manchester, England, Andy Burnham may soon replace British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, who today announces resignation, Burnham would be the UK's seventh leader in the decade since the British voted to exit the European Union and Piers' Lorne Freyer reports, Rome is saved, one lawmaker yelled, who can fun of the high expectations
facing Andy Burnham as he was sworn into Parliament. With the aim of becoming the next Prime Minister, 10 years ago Britain's voted for Brexit,
which ultimately shrank their economy and contributed to this revolving door of Prime
Ministers. If the ruling centre left Labour Party does choose Burnham, it's a change of personality more than policy he and Starmer share the same party platform. Another contender, former UK health secretary West Streeting, has thrown his support behind Burnham, who could run uncontested and become Prime Minister by late July.
Lauren Freyer and Pianos London. Argentina's soccer player Leonardo Messi broke the record for World Cup goals today. Argentina's the defending World Cup champion, Messi scored twice during today's two-nil victory over Austria and Piers' Jasmine Gars reports. It was Messi's 17th goal during a World Cup, then he added an 18th, Messi, whose team captain
started off the World Cup with a bang, and the team's first game against Algeria, he scored
a hat trick, three goals, a rare feat in soccer. During this latest game against Austria, he made the first record-breaking goal during the first half, and then in the second half, near the end of the match, Messi scored yet another goal, finishing off at 2-0. He's considered one of the best players in soccer history, Jasmine Gars, and Pianos, New York.
And from Washington, this is NPR News. The last eight Americans exposed to haunt of iris on a cruise ship have left their quarantine facility in Nebraska after six weeks. The outbreak killed three people, symptoms of haunt of iris have taken as long as 42 days to appear in previous outbreaks, 10 others were allowed to leave earlier under an agreement
that they would be closely monitored at home. Blood tests are getting better at screening for cancer, and Piers' Yucanaguchi reports
the FDA could approve the first such test this year.
Screening is common in the U.S. for a handful of cancers, like breast, colon, and cervical. The recent research in the journal of clinical oncology on patients in the U.K. showed blood tests that can detect cancer markers can help catch disease earlier. Megan Hall had medical affairs for Grail, the company that makes the test used in the study. So, it's a real fundamental shift in how we think about cancer screening, instead of screening
for individual cancers, we can now screen an individual from multiple cancers simultaneously. She says such tests, currently under regulatory review, could help improve survival rates. Yucanaguchi and PR news. The National Guard is patrolling the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C., contractors have been using chemicals to combat algae and trying to address the peeling American flag blue
paint liner, which the administration added ahead of the country's 250th birthday celebrations. President Trump claims there have been multiple arrests for damage to the pool's liner. He says the pool might need to be drained again for repairs. This is 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.
“But if this really is the beginning of an end to the war, who won and who lost?”
