The Pakistani Prime Minister Shah Bas Sharif posted on X that his country is preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal flight followed by technical level talks the following day. The foreign minister is Hakdad posted similar news saying the U. S. Iran negotiations were in their final stage. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman was reported in Iranian media as saying the deal will include releasing billions of dollars that's been frozen in Gulf banks. And he says at this stage the deal will not address Iran's enriched uranium. While there appears to be momentum for the latest Mideast war to end Iran, Iran and the US have come close before to negotiating a deal only to have it fall apart. Dear Hadid, NPR News.

Keep in mind this strike is coming at a challenging time for Trump and his president on a global stage. The president is still waging a war with Iran that he and Israel started. It's been disastrous for the economy and his poll numbers. And so to him, this attack in Venezuela is a win. It's something he's presenting as a win. In recent days he's been talking about how successful U.S. relations are with Venezuela and claiming that that capture of Maduro, the US Took over Venezuela. So to him this is really a success and in the middle of everything else going on on the world stage, something that he's really touting as a win.

Crystal Brewer was among the crowd who came to document the event late Friday. She said removing Trump's name was a way to reclaim a piece of Washington from a president who's tried to put his stamp on the nation's capital checks and balances, accountability.

A federal judge ruled that adding Trump's name to the center was illegal and required congressional approval. Workers draped the facade in tarps early Saturday, which prevented the crowd from documenting the historic reversal. Brewer said she thought it was also an attempt to spare the president further humiliation. Frank Langford, NPR News, Washington.

Ready to use therapeutic food can bring a malnourished child back from the brink. Historically, families in Senegal had to go to a doctor to get this, but but US Foreign aid helped equip community health workers to bring this product closer to kids. The Trump administration's massive cuts to foreign aid in 2025 have led to shortages that are still affecting families.
