"Live from MPR News," I'm trial Snyder.
The 60-day ceasefire with Iran is coming gone with no indication that the conflict is any closer to a settlement. President Trump has ruled out extending the interim agreement reached in June and speaking to a Fox News reporter on Monday he threatened to bomb a bond if it gets in the way. Oman has been in separate negotiations on an agreement to manage the straight-up for
most. President Trump also surprised another ally saying the U.S. would scale back military exercises with South Korea. Trump says he's been in contact with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un and Piers-Tamber Keith reports. Trump cited South Korea's unwillingness to get involved in the war with Iran and his
own relationship with Kim Jong-un and explaining the decision to pull back on the exercises. "I'm making it much safer," you see, "I'm actually making it much safer." Kim Jong-un
has always treated me with great respect.
Trump was answering questions in the Oval Office. "Why doesn't Kim Jong-un respond to your request to have a conversation?" "I don't even know how to answer his phone." "How's he?" "Yeah, yes."
During his first term, Trump met with the North Korean leader three times. Other presidents have sought to isolate Kim. "Tamber Keith and P.R. News, the White House."

for his border security plans and taxes as big Ben National Park. Commissioner Rodney Scott says he's now visiting the region where he's expected to meet with county judges and sheriffs Carlos Morales says more. In a social media post, Commissioner Scott said he'll begin meeting with local leaders to evaluate the region's rugged and difficult terrain, balancing border security needs and protecting
the National Park. "Last night, I put a pause on all activity in that park as far as construction goes until I can get down there and do a personal evaluation, talk to some stakeholders, talk to the work of law enforcement in that area."
Trump administration's $1.7 billion construction plan for Big Ben National Park includes
a combination of vehicle barriers, patrol roads and new surveillance technology. Opponents say the work that happened before the pause has already caused irreparable damage. For NPR News, I'm Carlos Morales in Marfa, Texas. "And you're listening to NPR News. The share of school children in kindergarten who got exemptions from vaccination requirements
rose to another record high last year. NPR's rompstein has more on the latest data from the federal health agency." The CDC says that the percentage of children in kindergarten with vaccination exemptions increased from 3.6% to a record 4.2% for the 2025-2026 school year. The changing rate comes as the Trump administration has been trying to cut the number of vaccines
children routinely get, and childhood diseases like measles and pooping cloth have been researching. Rob Stein, and Pyrnese.
“"That's what the outbreak of Ebola on the Democratic Republic of Congo is now top 2300,”
making it the deadliest ever recorded in the country.

The rarebriest causing it has no approved vaccines or treatments." Officials in the Philippines say the situation at a high school in the south of the country

One student was killed in a thwarty say the government took his own life.
