Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Both the U.S. and Iran say the signing [签署] of a peace deal [和平协议] is imminent [即将到来的], but disagree on when it will happen. President Trump says it'll happen tomorrow, but a top Iranian official doesn't think it will be that soon, as NPR's Carrie Kahn reports. Trump posted that a deal to end fighting between the U.S. and Iran is, quote, scheduled to get signed on Sunday. And he added that the Strait of Hormuz [霍尔木兹海峡], a key transport route [运输路线] for the world's oil and gas supply, will be, quote, open to all. Pakistani officials, who have been key mediators [调停人], said a deal was expected within 24 hours and would be signed electronically [电子化]. But on Saturday, a spokesman [发言人] for Iran's foreign ministry said a deal was coming, but, quote, we will have to wait and see about the exact date, adding it will not be Sunday. Neither side has provided details of an agreement, other than Iran would open the Strait, the U.S. would lift its blockade [封锁], and the current ceasefire would be extended for 60 days.

President Trump's name's been removed from the facade [外墙] of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington after federal courts denied late-stage [后期的] appeals [上诉]. NPR's Clory Veltman has more. The Department of Justice filed a notice of compliance [要求遵守（判决）的通知] with the order to remove Trump's name on Saturday. The takedown occurred two weeks after a federal judge ruled the addition of Trump's name last December was illegal and required congressional approval. Mallory Miller is a co-founder of Hands Off the Arts. The activism [（社会）活动] group has spent months campaigning [推动] for the removal of Trump's name. While this surely won't be the last time that Mr. Trump's overreach [越权] into our institutions is defeated, it was the first time that his name was taken off of something, and I'm so proud that Hands Off the Arts got to be a part of that. The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment.
Anthropic [人类学] abruptly [突然] shut down its latest AI models after the Trump administration banned [禁止] the use of those by foreign nationals. NPR's John Rewich reports. According to a statement from Anthropic, the government's directive [命令] cited [引述] unspecified national security concerns. It ordered a suspension [中断] of access by foreign nationals to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. That includes foreigners inside and outside the U.S. and even foreigners working for Anthropic. The Mythos AI model has been a source of buzz [喧闹，此处指热议的事情] in recent months. Anthropic decided not to release it to the public in March because the company believed it could potentially help hackers [黑客] exploit [利用] computer security flaws [漏洞]. So it came up with a workaround [折衷方法]. Fable 5, an advanced model with extensive safeguards [保护机制], was released this week. Anthropic says it thinks the government is concerned that there may be a way to jailbreak [越狱] the model to get around those safeguards. But Anthropic says it disagrees with the ban.
In California, firefighters [消防员] are still battling [作斗争] a huge warehouse [仓库] fire in Tracy, about an hour south of Sacramento, as authorities warn people who are sensitive to smoke to stay indoors. The fire has been burning for three days in the city of 100,000. Fire officials say the area will remain smoky for a few days as they work to put out the fire at the medical equipment warehouse. Officials say poorly functioning sprinklers [天花板洒水系统] and hydrants [消防栓] with little to no flow from the building's fire suppression [限制] system are hindering [阻碍] firefighter efforts. The structure of the building is being assessed and there's no word yet on a cause.
In Florida, law enforcement often searches rivers and swamps [沼泽] to find missing people, but now a crime-solving otter is helping crack [破解] those cold cases [陈年案子]. Kathy Carter from member station WUSF has more. In Sarasota County, Florida, Mike Hansel runs through training exercises with Splash, an Asian small-clawed otter [水獭]. Splash. Here we go. Yeah, I hear you talking. Oh, he wants more fish. Turns out otters are exceptionally suited [极度适合] for underwater recovery [搜寻] work. They can stay submerged [淹没] for up to eight minutes. All I see is his butt [屁股] going as he's heading out, and then he comes back and he grabs my mask to let me know that he's found something. Hansel has been training rescue dogs for decades. He got the idea to train an otter in Thailand, where fishermen use them to herd fish [驱赶鱼群] into nets. Splash is trained to detect the odor [味道] of human remains [遗骸]. So far, he's been on 30 missions with nine successful finds.
Stock seesawed [上下浮动，跷跷板的英文] on Wall Street this week, but ended higher for the week. Both the Dow and S&P 500 rose about two-thirds of a percent.
