Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryan Lynn Barton.
This 60-day deadline for an agreement to end the Iran war and resolve the dispute over
its nuclear program expired today.
“Talks to reopen the state of Hormuz, have stalled and Washington and Tehran appear”
even further apart than they were when they first made the agreement in June. Here's President Trump in the Oval Office today. "Well, they want to make it the open, they're not going to make the kind of a deal that I feel is necessary. Look, we're in there for one reason.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon." Iran has issued far-reaching demands for opening the state. Trump appears to be banking on economic pressure to get Tehran to back down. Meanwhile, President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, it comes after Netanyahu rejected the new US-backed road map
on the Gaza ceasefire. The fate of the plan is unclear.
Israeli soldiers occupy about 60 percent of the on-clave is realist, demanding that Hamas
disarm before withdrawing troops or reconstruction, yesterday Kushner met for two hours with the Hamas chief and Egypt.
“In New Hampshire, a voter group is challenging a ban on using student IDs to check in”
at polling places, as NPR's Hansi LaWong reports other Republican-led states have passed similar laws. New Hampshire and Indiana have stopped allowing registered voters to check in at the polls with student IDs. A similar ban in Florida said to start next year, Republican-state officials say these
bans support election security. There is no evidence, however, of widespread voter fraud involving student IDs. The coalition for open democracy, voter advocacy group is now suing over New Hampshire's ban.
They argue it violates the US Constitution for bernding eligible voters right to vote and discriminating
against younger voters. In April, a federal judge ruled Indiana's ban is likely unconstitutional, but that ruling was paused after Republican officials appealed. Voting rights advocates in these states are now trying to help make sure eligible students have a state ID or another accepted identification to vote in upcoming elections.
On Zee LaWong, NPR News. Opening statements took place today in the trial of the man accused of planning the killing of rap icon to Pox Shakur, nearly 30 years ago, Steve Futterman reports. Prosecution accused Drain Kifi D Davis, a vorkest reading the murder shortly after Shakur, had assaulted Davis's nephew in the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel following the Mike
Tyson fight, prosecutor Benu Palau. "The way Davis made sure that the shooters were and read." The prosecution's case relies largely on Davis' own words. In interviews, as well as a 2019 memoir, Davis says he supplied the gun used in the killing, defense attorney Michael Samph told jurors all that stuff was in bellishment, and that
Davis wasn't even in Las Vegas that night. "Look for evidence that shows that he can be with even Las Vegas on the night." He suggested none of that evidence exists. For MPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Las Vegas. Major U.S. stock indexes closed down today.
This is NPR News from Washington. Voters in three states heads the polls tomorrow for primary elections, and Alaska, the Republican ballot is potentially a bit confusing and combat U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan is being challenged by a retired school teacher named Dan Sullivan. Dan Sullivan, the teacher, successfully beat court challenges to stay on the ballot, President
Trump has accused Democrats of trickery. Indiana State leaders now estimate over 1,000 people have been displaced from their homes by flooding that's affected the state since late last week. Caroline Beck from the number station W. FYI has more than the latest update from Indiana Governor Mike Braun.
Governor Braun is requesting a federal disaster declaration through FEMA to help pay for things like individual assistance and hazard mitigation. Trump says the state is collecting data on the total damage right now and hopes to hear back from FEMA in the next 10 days. It'll be as quickly as it can get done.
It takes a while to compile all that and we've got a good relationship with the administration. So I think we'll be in a place where we will know how to expedite it. We've got to see what it is and we go from there. Homeowners can submit damage reports and request temporary help including housing assistance with the state.
For NPR News, I'm Caroline Beck in Indianapolis. President Trump says Vandals are to blame for large swaths of dead grass in the National Mall near the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. It's also the spot where Trump had a stage built in hosted crowds for his July 4th celebration. Trump made the accusation online without saying why he believes it's the work of Vandals
