Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Amy Held. The US Is indicating good progress has been made toward a peace deal with Iran, while Tehran says one test is ending the fighting in Lebanon.

Israel's foreign minister reiterated on social media what several top politicians have been saying for days. Israel will remain in the self described security zone which where its troops occupy a large swath of southern Lebanon. The exact boundaries of that zone, however, are not clear. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touted the interim agreement between the US And Iran as a huge success for Israel. There is widespread dissatisfaction in Israel for the U S. Iran preliminary plan. Israel is not part of peace talks nor a new plan announced for a so called deconfliction cell to ensure compliance to the ceasefire in Lebanon. Kerry Khan, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

After scoring a hat trick in his country's opening game, Lionel Messi notched his fourth goal of the tournament today against Austria. That was despite missing a penalty earlier in the game. He took his total tally of World cup goals to 17, becoming the top scorer in men's World cup history. Messi is widely regarded as the best player of his generation. During his two decade career, he's been recognized as the world's best player on eight occasions. He captained Argentina to World cup glory in Qatar four years ago. At 38 years old, this could be Messi's last World cup and with Argentina winning today, he'll once again be playing in the knockout stage of a World Cup. William Jones, NPR News.

NPR's Maria Godoy reports.

Only 12% of people on dialysis are registered on the kidney transplant wait list. Researchers at NYU Langone wanted to know what kept them from making it onto the list. They found that patients who were unmarried, lived in rural areas or had severe obesity were less likely to start or complete the needed evaluations. Older, poor and Spanish speaking patients were especially unlikely to move forward with the process. All told, fewer than one in five patients referred for a transplant made it onto the wait list. The researchers say the battery of tests and doctor visits required may be hard for patients to navigate if they lack social support. The findings appear in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Maria Godoy, NPR News.

This is NPR News. Russia's war in Ukraine has had broad ecological consequences. Among them are air and water pollution, plus uncontrolled wildfires. NPR's Nate Rot reports on a new study that finds the war has also changed animal behavior.

Before Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, scientists had set up game cameras in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a massive area surrounding the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in northern Ukraine. And with little human interference, wildlife has flourished. Then, during its invasion, Russia moved and staged troops through the area. Fighting occurred and the game cameras kept recording. Scientists now say the disturbances caused many mammals to change their behaviors. Deer species, red foxes and moose were all less active during the fighting, especially at night, suggesting that warfare can have broad consequences on ecosystems. Yet even after the fighting has stopped. Nate Rott, NPR News, Pink Floyd, Aretha
