"Li from MPR News, I'm Jial Snyder.

One more opinion for the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court is to release its final four tomorrow, including on President Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. Trump says he'll accept the court's decision, even if it goes against him, but his MPR's Franco-ordonia's reports, Trump says such a decision would be bad for the country." In a major test for the 14th Amendment, the Supreme Court is expected to announce Tuesday,

whether Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship can stand. The 14th Amendment has long been interpreted to guarantee citizenship on all those born on U.S. soil. At the White House, Trump struck a somber tone about the pending court decision. "Well, I guess I have to accept this to Supreme Court, so I'll accept.

I think it's very bad for our nation, with the only nation that doesn't."

Actually, according to the Pew Research Center, 32 other countries around the world have similar birthright citizenship laws.

The President has not been shy about his feelings, though, pressing justices to back

him, and even attending a high court hearing on the case. Franco, or Donas, and Pyrenees. The White House. Other cases left to be decided, include state laws banning transgender athletes from competing on girls and women's school sports teams, and a Republican campaign finance challenge.

President Trump says he has not decided whether he'll sign a bipartisan housing bill, and Pyre's Steven Pissahau reports. Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump dismissed the housing bill as "unimportant." "Big deal.

It's a young." Trump, it was his wonderful.

To me, compared to the SAV, America Act, just about everything is a big young."

The SAV, America Act, is Trump's election overhaul bill that would mandate strict proof of citizenship requirements.

Trump said last week he wants that bill passed first.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress overwhelmingly voted in favor of the housing bill last week. The legislation aims to encourage home-building across the country to lower costs. Steven Pissahau and Pyrenees. "Little is known about what led to the death of three wild land firefighters over

the weekend." Colorado Public Radio's Tom Has reports that officials are declining to speculate, pending an investigation as a wildfire continues to burn uncontained on the Colorado Utah border. U.S. wildland fire chief Brian Fenasi spoke to reporters in Western Colorado Monday after three firefighters were killed while responding to the Snyder fire.

Fenasi says he does not think responders were being careless. "It's too premature to even speculate on whether they should have been there or not.

I will say that the fact that they were there was, I'm 100% sure, based on good decision

making, two other firefighters were injured over the weekend. They were main hospitalized in stable conditions. For NPR News, I'm Tom Hass and Fruta, Colorado." "And you're listening to NPR News." The heat wave that has the Midwest weltering is poised to move eastward.

He took weeks before she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. By this point, the infection had taken its toll. She passed away within days. There had been numerous community health workers visiting families where they may have caught purity's TB sooner.

But Tabitham Guero, one of those health workers, says they were paid with funds that came from USAID. "Most of them stopped walking when USAID is a drug ASAP." They reached purity earlier, she says maybe the teenage girl would still be alive. The State Department told NPR an statement that the Trump administration has a new aid

agreement with Kenya that supports in-part TB programs. For NPR news, I'm Ari Daniel. "The major stock markets in Asia are mixed in Tuesday trading, Japan's benchmark is advancing, although the NK has given back some of its early gains. I'm Jail Snyder in PR news."
