Stay with us.
We've got news you need to start your day.
It's the first day of a 10-day ceasefire to pause the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
We're joined now by NPR's Kat Lonsdorf in Beirut.
Kat, still pretty early in this ceasefire.
How's it going so far?
Yeah.
And we just heard Leila say that President Trump announced a ceasefire yesterday at her phone call with the leaders of both Israel and Lebanon.
But here's the thing.
Hezbollah was not involved in the discussions of the ceasefire.
So, I mean, how is that going to work?
Okay, now I know there's been more than a million people in Lebanon that have been displaced since Israel started their heavy bombardment.
Will they be going home now?
OK, and zoom in out a bit, because the ceasefire is really a part of the bigger picture of negotiations in the Middle East happening right now.
That's NPR's Kat Lonsdorf in Beirut.
Kat, thanks a lot.
President Trump has nominated someone to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has not had a confirmed leader since August.
Here to tell us more is NPR health correspondent Ping Wang.
So tell us more about Schwartz's background.
All right.
