Chapter 1: What recent developments have occurred in the Iran War?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. President Trump told reporters in Air Force One Sunday that the war in Iran could end soon. The two countries have had indirect talks, and the Trump administration has sent a number of demands to Iraq. But as NPR's Emily Fang tells us, Iran has pushed back on the U.S. demands, which could mean the war may go on for some time.
So when Iran rejected the U.S. proposal to end the war earlier, it put forth its own five demands. And those include the U.S. paying war reparations to Iran and also ensuring the U.S. will never attack Iran again.
And then this weekend, although this is not an Iranian government official speaking, a hardline Iranian newspaper that is funded by the office of Iran's supreme leader published nine more demands in order to end the war. And among those are dismantling military bases the U.S. uses in the Middle East.
That's NPR's Emily Fang. TSA workers could see their first paychecks in more than a month as soon as Monday, despite the partial government shutdown. NPR's Eric McDaniel reports.
A White House memo directs DHS to move money around to pay 60,000 TSA employees. But the core fight remains. Democrats in Congress are withholding money from all of DHS, including TSA in hopes of changing how immigration agents can conduct themselves.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has so far refused to take up a unanimous Senate deal that funds all non-immigration functions at DHS as these negotiations continue. Democratic Representative Adam Smith said on Fox News Sunday that Johnson is making a mistake. We can have that debate and fund TSA if Mike Johnson would just let us vote on what every single senator supported.
With Trump in their corner, though, House Republicans haven't shown any signs of budging. Eric McDaniel, NPR News, Washington.
The European Union is trying to improve enforcement of deportation of people whose claims for asylum have been rejected. As Terry Schultz reports, the EU's legislature has taken a step towards setting up detention centers outside the bloc.
EU leaders call them return hubs, sites where European governments could deport people with rejected asylum claims who can't immediately be sent back to their home countries. The European Parliament backed the plan last week after the largest center-right political group voted with far-right parties, some members of which openly advocate an ICE system similar to that of the U.S.

Chapter 2: How is the U.S. government addressing TSA employee pay during the shutdown?
The sci-fi adventure movie brought in another $54.5 million at North American theaters. It's grossed $300 million worldwide in two weeks on the big screen. The animated Disney and Pixar movie Hoppers remained in second, adding $12.2 million to its total. Golfer Gary Woodland had a strong finish Sunday, winning the Houston Open by five strokes over Nikolaj Hojgaard.
He finished with a five-foot putt on the 18th green and ended with a 3-under 67. The win was his first since winning at Pebble Beach in 2019. It also makes him eligible for the Masters Tournament two weeks from now. I'm Dale Willman, NPR News.
