"Live from NPR News in Washington.
between the US and Iran expired today, with no negotiations planned and the status
of the Strait of Hormuz still in dispute. NPR is Jane Arraf has more." The U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in June that called for reaching a final agreement in 60 days. There have been mediation attempts by other countries, but no U.S. Iranian negotiations since then. Iran says the U.S. isn't serious about negotiating. President Trump has threatened news sanctions against Iran over their restrictions
on the Strait of Hormuz. While the June agreement called for the U.S. to begin removing
“its naval blockade and Iran to allow transit through the key waterway within 30 days,”
neither of those have happened either. The ceasefire was broken in July with attacks by both the U.S. and Iran. Jane Arraf and PR News, Aman.
The President's unvoiced and son-in-law Jared Kushner held a rare meeting with leaders in
Mokh-Famass and Egypt yesterday. Today, he's an Israel meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an effort to achieve progress on a plan for post-war Gaza and PR's Daniel Estrin in Tel Aviv says both sides appear to be at an impasse. So now the U.S. is pushing this new 15-point road map for Hamas to disarm and for Israel to withdraw. And Israel says it will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas fully disarms.
And a big group of medieval countries is now saying that Israel is the one to blame for obstructing peace efforts. Those groups of countries include the ceasefire mediators themselves, Qatar, and Egypt. So Kushner is now in Israel. He's meeting Netanyahu to discuss his objections
“to the plan. It's been ten months since the ceasefire was declared.”
While fire activity is still high across several states in the western U.S. and PR's law and summer reports some of those states have struggled to pass rules that can help protect communities. As wildfires have become increasingly destructive, researchers have learned how some houses are more likely to survive. It helps when buildings are made with fire-resistant construction materials. It also helps when the flammable vegetation
is cleared away from them. California has long-standing rules requiring homeowners to take those steps in areas at risk. But Washington and Oregon have backtracked on efforts to pass the same rules after public pushback. And some western states don't have any statewide rules. While fire experts say that patchwork of regulations leaves many places vulnerable, lawn summer and PR news. Hurricane Lala has weakened to a tropical storm after raking
Hawaii without making linefall. Rainfall approached three feet in some places, turning rivers into raging torrents and threatening mudslides.

lying about his personal achievements. Here's NPR as Fatima Al-Qasar.

The BBC is asking a U.S. court for help in getting documents and testimony from members
of President Trump's family in connection with the President's $10 billion defamation lawsuit
against the British Broadcaster. Lawyer say Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. likely have records relevant to the President's claims against the BBC. The Broadcaster says it asked the President to accept the subpoenas on his daughter and son-in-law's behalf, or to direct the secret service to allow the subpoenas to be served.
He refused. I'm Lynda Kenyan, NPR News, in Washington.
