to call off renewed U.S. air strikes against Iran at the request of Saudi Arabia, the United
Arab Emirates and Qatar, as a way to give diplomacy more time." "When the allies ask to call it off, you got to say, "Well, let's see. The reason
“they ask is I think there's a deal." That's the president speaking to reporters aboard Air Force”
One yesterday. Trump says midi-stallies have agreed on the framework for a deal to end the war, something he's said previously during the fighting, as well as cease fires. Trump says this latest deal includes language about resolving concerns over Iran's nuclear program. President says the strikes he called off would have represented what he described as the biggest attack since World War II. This is the final full-day of campaigning in Michigan
ahead of tomorrow's Senate primary. Steve Carmedy with Michigan Public says the results of the primary will have implications beyond the state. The primary between Congresswoman Haley Stevens and former Detroit Public Health Official Abdul El Siyat is seen as a battle between the Democratic Party's establishment and progressive wings. Stevens has garnered a slew of endorsements from party leaders, including U.S. Senate
and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Meanwhile, El Siyat has the backing of progressive
“stars, including Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”
Michigan's primary battle is not only about the direction of the National Democratic Party, but also whether Democrats or Republicans control the U.S. Senate next year.

Extreme heat and dry conditions continue to fuel wildfires and more than a dozen states mainly in the western U.S. Cruiser busiest in Oregon, where the National Interagency Fire Center says more than 30 large fires are still burning. Second to Oregon is Washington State. Doug Nett Vordnik with Spokane Public Radio says three major wildfires there have burned more than 7,000 acres near the city.
Fire crews are expecting a big break when the brisk winds that whipped flames into a frenzy over the weekend exit the area. Mandatory evacuation areas that reach well into Spokane City limits are still in effect,
“but some of the evacuation levels have been downgraded as crews gain more control.”
While the gusty winds are going away, there are two new aggravating factors. The wind is expected to shift directions and blow wildfires smoke into the city, and temperatures are expected to creep back up into the 90s by midweek. More than 600 structures have burned, but officials say they have no evidence anyone has been killed or hurt by the wildfires. For NPR News, I'm Doug Nett Vordnik in Spokane.
While street futures are higher this morning, this is NPR News from Washington. Red flag warnings and heat advisories are in effect today and more than a half dozen states including areas of Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming. Extreme heat warnings are posted in parts of Utah, Nevada, Arizona and southern California. More than 300,000 Haitians living legally in the US say they're worried about deportation
now that the Trump administration has ended their temporary protected status. The federal government was allowed to do so after a recent rolling from the US Supreme Court. In Ohio, Haitians living in Springfield are being summoned to meetings with US immigration and customs enforcement officers in Cincinnati.
Tana Winegartener with Member Station WVXU, says supporters gathered outside the facility over the weekend to show support. Supportors came holding signs and singing. They also shouted encouragement as displaced Haitians walked the long pathway to the facility Sprint Door.
Bethany Rogers of Cincinnati was compelled to participate saying change can't happen if people stay home. I came to bear witness to the great wrong that's being done to people who came here for a better life and had the rug pulled out from under them. It doesn't make humanitarian sense, it doesn't make economic sense, it's purely for ideology.
Haitian immigrants have been emerging from these meetings wearing ankle monitors. For NPR News, I'm Tana Winegartener in Cincinnati. I'm Dave Madningley, NPR News in Washington. The fatal shooting of a teenager at a protest in Seattle has gone unsolved for six years. This is open in your face to how are there no answers.
Our investigation has uncovered new evidence and witnesses who say they've never talked
to police. Did police ever call you? Not once. Listen to Weeky Bus Safe, a new true crime series on the embedded podcast from NPR.
