Live from NPR News on trial Snyder, Vice President JD Vance as he can't give ...

line for when the US war with Iran will end and he says the next steps are up to the Iranians and Piers Emily Fang has more. Asked whether the Iran war would be over by the midterms the first week of November, the Vice President disputed whether the conflict is really a war and continued.

I think the reality is, I don't know the answer to that question.

You'd have to ask the Iranians. And will the Iranian shooting at ships stop having an effect on the world energy markets

in the answer is, it has less effect day by day.

Earlier this week, Iran's President said his country is willing to go back to a ceasefire at reach with the US and June if the Trump administration is willing to do so as well. But Vance at the US is not talking to Iran and not looking to start negotiations until Iran stops shooting at vessels. Emily Fang and Piers News the White House.

The Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers expected to make an initial Court of Piers and Cork tomorrow. NPR has confirmed that ICE officer Christian Castro turned himself in and is in federal custody. Castro is charged with lying to investigators about the events leading up to the shooting

The Trump administration asking the Supreme Court to clear the way for a plan by the

U.S. Postal Service to restrict mail in voting for the mid-term election. Here's NPR's Hansi Lovong.

For now, the U.S. Postal Service is blocked for moving ahead with key parts of its plan.

We should note U.S. Piers' financial support of NPR. The Postal Service's plan involves delivering mail-in ballots only at people on voter list that the states would have to turn over to the mailing agency. A federal judge in Boston has found that plan is likely illegal because U.S. Piers has no authority to control voting by mail.

Last month, the Supreme Court ruled on a procedural question about this legal fight. The High Court has not ruled yet on the legality the Postal Service's plan, and there's a little time left for the plan to be fully carried out before mail-in voting starts from the midterm election. North Carolina said to begin sending out ballots Friday on Zilawong NPR News.

This year's El Nino will likely persist through February 27, according to the World Meteological Organization, a UN agency.

In a press conference today, the Secretary General of the WMO, Celeste Salo, said the forecast

shows it will be stronger than anything the group has recorded. Many sectors like agriculture, energy, and health will be affected. The UN says it's working with many countries in the global south to prepare. Panama is implementing measures to save water and peru declared a state of emergency for flooding and landslides.

Fatma Tennis and PR News. And you're listening to NPR News. The jury in the Lindsey Clancy trial is to return tomorrow after again failing for a six-day to come to a verdict. The jury of Massachusetts's charge with deciding whether to hold Clancy criminally responsible

for killing her three children. Her attorney argues that postpartum psychosis led to the killings, and says one jurors refusing to follow the judge's instructions. Every year, the Ignobelle Prizes are awarded for research that's entertaining and thought provoking.

In Piers' Arrid Daniel says for the first time, the ceremony took place outside the U.S.

Mark Abrams founded the Ignobelle Prizes in 1991. Before last year, almost every winner would find a way to travel to the ceremony from around the world. Last year of the ten winners, we ended up with only six of them at the ceremony. Four didn't want to come to the U.S. citing safety concerns related to unpredictable

immigration and visa protocols. For this year, Abrams and his team decided to hold the ceremony abroad in Switzerland.
