Line from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman, the US and Iran say they ...
delegations to Qatar.
“President Trump had said yesterday there would be a meeting, but it's not clear the representatives”
will meet together. In recent days, Iran has fired on US allies in the Gulf and the US, has fired on Iran. And PR's Ruth Sherlock says, both sides are supposed to focus on the memo of understanding that they signed. Underpinning the hurry here is this fundamental lack of trust.
On both sides, but the Iranians, in particular, are worried that with all the back and forth and failed previous talks, the Trump administration would Renee go on its commitments. And it's not been going well recently. The Iranians are also furious about a separate deal. The US broke out between Israel and Lebanon.
And PR's Ruth Sherlock reporting. The US Supreme Court is expected to rule today on President Trump's challenge to a constitutional provision. This was enacted after the Civil War, and it has long been interpreted to guarantee American
“citizenship to every child born on US soil.”
And PR's Nina Totenberg reports. Trump has long maintained that the 14th Amendment was intended to cover only former slaves and their children. That was not the holding of the Supreme Court in 1898, the last time it ruled on the issue. Nor was it the practice even in World War II when babies born to Japanese citizens in
US detention camps were automatically granted American citizenship.
But Trump, on his first day of his second term, issued an executive order barring automatic
citizenship for babies born in the US whose parents entered the country illegally, or who are living here legally on temporary visas. With the only country in the world that does this with birthright. That's actually not true. More than 30 countries have birthright citizenship laws.
Nina Totenberg and PR News, Washington. Today is primary election day in Colorado.
“Democrats hope their nominees will help them win control of the House of Representatives.”
From Colorado Public Radio, Ray Solomon reports. Democratic voters in Colorado's eighth congressional district will choose a candidate to challenge Republican incumbent Gabe Evans in a toss-up race that could determine control of the US House. Democratic State Representative Nanny Rootnell is the front-runner, and he's considered
more progressive than his opponent former state representative Shannon Bird. In Denver, longtime Congresswoman Diana DeGett is facing an uphill battle to protect her seat from a primary challenger on her left. Democratic Socialists may not cure us. Meanwhile, Colorado Governor Jared Polis is term-limited, and voters across the state are
choosing nominees from both major parties to replace him. One of the Democratic candidates is sitting U.S. Senator Michael Bennett, for NPR News, I'm Ray Solomon. This is NPR. It's been nearly a week since back-to-back earthquakes hit northern Venezuela.
The government says the death toll has climbed to more than 1700 people, tens of thousands of others remain missing.
The National Weather Service has put more than 62 million people under heat cautions today.
There's a wave of dangerously hot weather sweeping from the Central U.S. toward the East. Temperatures will feel above 100 degrees today, from eastern Kansas to Central Michigan. It could feel like 109 degrees today in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Portugal is bracing for its sixth heat wave this year. That's the same number as there was in all of last year.
Officials fear that heat will cause more deaths and increase the risk of wildfires. Health authorities in Portugal have warned older and vulnerable people in particular to take precautions as temperatures saw as high as 110 degrees. Employers are being told to assign heavier work only in the cooler hours and to ensure workers take regular breaks.
Wildfires are a major concern with all the de handful of coastal municipalities at very high or maximum fire risk. Portugal is among Europe's most heavily forested countries and fragmented ownership means many plots have long been neglected, making fires prone to spread in the hilly interior. It's a problem that's here to stay given how climate change is contributing to evermore
frequent and intense heat waves. For NPR News, I'm Alison Roberts in Lisbon. There are three matches at the World Cup today. Ivory Coast plays Norway, France meets Sweden and Mexico faces Ecuador. I'm Corva Coleman, NPR News.
