What is the current status of the ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. A fragile two-week ceasefire is in place after more than five weeks of war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. NPR's Dee Parvez went to the border of Turkey and Iran to hear what Iranians have to say about the ceasefire.
The first two days of the ceasefire have been shaky, with strikes of varying severity happening in Lebanon, Iran, Israel and the Gulf Arab States. The Iranians I spoke to at the border didn't want to be named, fearing reprisal upon their return, and none of them believed that the temporary truce would hold.
The positions they've stated are too far apart from each other, said one man.
After two weeks, it's highly likely that there will be war, said a 30-year-old from Tehran. Talks between the U.S. and Iran are set to take place in Islamabad on Saturday. Deep Haraz, NPR News, Van, Turkey.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to give the ceasefire a boost Thursday. He said he has authorized direct negotiations with Lebanon on
What do Iranians think about the ceasefire and its potential longevity?
Aimed at disarming Hezbollah militants, Lebanese authorities have not yet responded. First Lady Melania Trump delivered a statement at the White House Thursday denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein and any knowledge of his crimes.
The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect.
Melania Trump also denied that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump and said that she is not one of Epstein's victims. She urged Congress to hold public hearings for them. Melania Trump's statement seemed to come out of the blue. A spokesman for the First Lady said the West Wing knew beforehand that she'd be giving a statement, but It's not clear if her specific remarks were known. The federal agency that supports the nation's libraries is now guaranteed to continue its congressionally mandated work. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports on the settlement agreement reached Thursday between the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Justice Department, and the American Library Association, along with a workers' union that fought to preserve the agency.
The agreement resolves litigation from last year, challenging the Trump administration's attempt to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services through executive action. It ensures that grants will continue, workers will keep their jobs, and it puts an end to attempts by the administration to further target the Institute. Sam Helmick is the president of the American Library Association.
We now can continue to focus on funding our libraries, showing up for our libraries, and promoting literacy and lifelong learning, which is what we're all about.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services declined to comment.
Chloe Veltman, NPR News. The Artemis II astronauts are preparing for Friday evening's return to Earth. The three Americans and one Canadian are now under 150,000 miles from home after setting a new distance record during Monday's lunar flyby. They're aiming for a splashdown in the Pacific off the coast of San Diego. Three federal appellate judges are weighing music mogul Sean Combs' appeal of his conviction in prison sentence. They heard arguments for some two hours Thursday in New York. Holmes' attorneys say his conviction on prostitution charges should be reversed or he should at least be freed and resentenced to less time. At issue is whether the judge who sentenced him went too far in considering evidence supporting behavior he was acquitted of.
Prosecutors oppose the arguments. A new study appears to show how the brain is able to imagine things it can't see. NPR's John Hamilton reports on the research. in the journal Science.
Researchers wanted to understand how memory and imagination work together in the brain. Varun Wadia of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Caltech says it takes both functions to accomplish something people do every day. I can look at an object in the world around me, but I can also close my eyes and imagine the object.
