Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder, the Trump administration telling federa...

and customs enforcement officers to suspend most vehicle stops nationwide.

The order comes after ice officers shot and killed two men in their cars and taxes

and Maine over the last week in Piers, Meg Anderson. Maine Senator Angus King's office confirmed the policy shift to NPR, though it's still unclear what it will look like in practice. The change is temporary, but will continue until ice officers receive more training on how to safely make a traffic stop.

Jillian Snyder, a former police officer and lecturer at John J. College, says the evidence suggests immigration officers do need that. If you're looking at all the incidents that had been happening, they're all related to the car stops. She says immigration enforcement used to focus on targeted operations, looking for a specific

person stopping people on the street. Snyder says is an entirely different scenario. Meg Anderson and Bernouce. President Trump's borders are Tom Holman says the shift is not a policy change. He told Fox News today that it's a temporary policy conducted short-term review in a separate incident at Thorty say a man in St. Augustine, Florida running away from immigration officers

today, died when he was struck by a tractor trailer. By partisan Senate group is moving forward with a Russia sanctioned spill in Pierce Claudia Rosales reports on the bill that's become attribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The bipartisan group repeatedly evokes Senator Graham's name and touting the plan, which

was months in the banking, that includes Republican Roger Wicker, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee. This is Lindsey Graham's greatest achievement when it comes to saving lives, ensuring peace for Europe this is a similar achievement. The bill with sanctioned top-russian leaders enforced tariffs on countries who import Russian

oil. The show of force included several Republican committee chairs in top Democrats who said they have the votes for Senate approval. Graham a day before his death said he had reached a deal with the White House on the bill to help and Russia's war with Ukraine.

Claudia Desalis and beer are newsed the capital. Also on Capitol Hill, the House today voted to make daylight saving time permanent in Pierce and later more reports. The bill passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 308 to 117. It's a win for night owls and a blow for early morning risers.

Daylight saving time has long been a divisive issue, and though there have been political efforts to make it permanent in the past, they've fallen short. Last time lawmakers got this close was in 2022 when the Senate approved the Sunshine Protection

Act, but it never passed the House.

Now this new bill heads to the Senate, and if it passes, President Trump has indicated he'll sign it. Elena Moore and beer news. And you're listening to in PR news. U.S. military has re-imposed a naval blockade of Iran.

The blockade was restored today following renewed strikes between the U.S. and Iran, which says it has again closed the straight-of-war moves. New data from UNICEF shows that 77% of infants globally last year were fully vaccinated against measles, a highly infectious disease that has killed more than 750 children a major outbreak in Bangladesh.

And PR's Dury Biscara reports that disruptions in Bangladesh's vaccine stockpile was a major contributing factor. In most cases, countries go through UNICEF to buy vaccines.

About 2.2 billion doses a year.

But when Bangladesh's interim government took power in late 2024, the country decided to procure vaccines on its own. Dr. Ephraim Lemango is global chief of immunization for UNICEF.

It usually leads to delays, and that's what exactly happened in Bangladesh, and that delay

in concluding the procurement, which finally ended up not succeeding, later significant and extended stock cuts. Some clinics ran out of the measles vaccine entirely. Lemango says this left Bangladesh vulnerable to the major outbreak going on today, and while the new government has moved quickly to vaccinate kids now, a lot of the damage has already

been done. Dury Biscara and Pernu's Washington. The world cup final is coming into focus, Spain shut down France today, advancing to Sunday's title match with the two goals to nil victory. Spain's opponent will be decided Wednesday when defending champion Argentina plays England
