And as NPR's Frank Ordonez reports, Trump says he plans to play a role in accepting the next leader in Iran. President Trump has predicted fighting will continue for the next four to five weeks. He's repeatedly said that Iran has wanted to reach a deal, but this morning he wrote on social media that he'll accept no deal except, quote, unconditional surrender.

He continued that after an acceptable leader is chosen, the U.S. will work with partners to bring Iran back and rebuild its economy. He closed by writing, Iran will have a great future. Make Iran great again. Adding in parentheses, M-I-G-A, MIGA. Clearly a play on MAGA. The Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the initial airstrikes in Tehran on Saturday.

Franco Ordonez, NPR News. The European Union has criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for remarks he made about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that could be interpreted as a threat. As Terry Schultz reports, the two leaders have a long history of animosity between them.

President Zelensky on Thursday suggested he was going to give the address of what he called a certain person to Ukrainian troops to deal with, a reference widely interpreted to mean Hungarian Prime Minister Orban. While the EU's executive arm, the European Commission, is often battling Hungary on behalf of Ukraine, this time spokesperson Olaf Gill said Zelensky had gone too far.

That type of language is not acceptable. There must not be threats against EU member states. Tensions are high between Zelensky and Orban as the Hungarian leader is refusing to let a 90 billion euro loan package for Ukraine go through until Kiev restores Russian oil flows through a pipeline Zelensky says was damaged by a Russian strike. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels.

President Trump says the entire U.S. collegiate sports system is going to be destroyed unless that system is fixed quickly.

I think we have a challenge here today about the ramifications of this current system on how it helps players be successful in their future. and how we can impact and create a system that will help and preserve the opportunity for student athletes to be able to have success in their future beyond athletics.

A large celebration of the life of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson was held in Chicago on Friday. Thousands of people gathered at a church on the city's south side, including three former presidents, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Jackson died on February 17th. He was 84 years old. This is NPR News.

Meta is facing a class-action lawsuit for false advertising over its artificial intelligence glasses. As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, the suit claims Meta has misled consumers about the product's privacy protections. Meta has promised users of its Ray-Ban Meta glasses that what's being recorded is not viewable by the company.

214.563 - 233.08

But a Swedish newspaper investigation found that subcontractors for Meta were able to watch footage taken with the glasses of intimate material, including bathroom visits and sexual encounters. Now, a new lawsuit alleges that Meta failed to disclose how the glasses can be used as a secret surveillance tool, with footage being sent to AI data collection centers.

233.541 - 255.622

Meta says whatever is recorded is intended to stay on a user's device, but that occasionally the smart glasses can share footage with contractors. The lawsuit says contractors have at times viewed credit card numbers, nudity, and identifiable faces. Bobby Allen, NPR News. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should be removed from the royal line of succession.
