 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The U.S. is waiving [豁免] sanctions [制裁] on Iranian oil as part of an interim [过渡的] agreement to end the war. The U.S. and Israel began in February. The development emerged [出现] today as Vice President J.D. Vance wrapped up [结束] talks with Iranian officials in Switzerland. Vance says Iran has agreed to allow U.N. nuclear inspectors [核检查人员] into the country, but a spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry told a state news agency that Iran had made no new commitments [承诺] for inspections. NPR's Franco-Ordoñez reports. Vance said the U.S. team of negotiators [谈判人员] made very good progress and met several objectives. That includes establishing a mechanism [建立机制] to demine [排（水）雷] the Strait of Hormuz [霍尔木兹海峡] and another to help maintain the ceasefire in Lebanon. But he said they were most excited that nuclear inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency [国际原子能机构] would be returning to the country. The final deal is the house. We set the foundation [地基]. We haven't built the house, but we've laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people. Vance also addressed the possibility of unfreezing [解冻] Iranian assets [资产], which he said the U.S. and Qatar would manage. Franco-Ordoñez, the White House. 

The former mayor of Manchester, England, Andy Burnham, may soon replace British Prime Minister [首相] Keir Starmer, who today announced his resignation [辞职]. Burnham would be the U.K.'s seventh leader in the decade since the British voted to exit [退出] the European Union. NPR's Lauren Freyer reports. Rome is saved, one lawmaker yelled [高呼], poking fun [开玩笑] at the high expectations facing Andy Burnham as he was sworn [宣誓就职] into Parliament [议院]. I swear by almighty God [全能的神]. With the aim of becoming the next prime minister. Ten years ago, Britons [英国人] voted for Brexit, which ultimately shrank [缩小] their economy and contributed to this revolving door [旋转门，此处指更换频繁] of prime ministers. If the ruling centre-left Labour Party does choose Burnham, it's a change of personality more than policy. He and Starmer share the same party platform [党纲]. Another contender [竞争者], former U.K. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, has thrown his support behind Burnham, who could run uncontested [不被挑战的] and become prime minister by late July. Lauren Freyer, London. 

Argentine [阿根廷的] soccer player Lionel Messi [梅西] broke the record for World Cup goals today. Argentina is the defending [卫冕的] World Cup champion. Messi scored twice during today's 2-0 victory over Austria. NPR's Jasmine Garst reports. It was Messi's 17th goal during a World Cup. Then he added an 18th. Messi, whose team captain [队长], started off the World Cup with a bang [爆炸，此处指很强的势头]. In the team's first game against Algeria [阿尔及利亚], he scored a hat trick [帽子戏法]. Three goals [进球]. A rare feat [少见的成就] in soccer. During this latest game against Austria, he made the first record-breaking goal during the first half [上半场]. And then, in the second half, near the end of the match, Messi scored yet another goal, finishing off at 2-0. He's considered one of the best players in soccer history. Jasmine Garst, New York. 

The last eight Americans exposed [被暴露于] to Hantavirus [汉坦病毒] on a cruise ship [邮轮] have left their quarantine facility [隔离设施] in Nebraska after six weeks. The outbreak [（病毒）爆发] killed three people. Symptoms [症状] of Hantavirus have taken as long as 42 days to appear in previous outbreaks. Ten others were allowed to leave earlier under an agreement that they would be closely monitored [监管] at home. 

Blood tests are getting better at screening [筛查] for cancer [癌症]. NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports the FDA [美国食品药品管理局] could approve [批准] the first such test this year. Screening is common in the U.S. for a handful of cancers like breast [乳腺（癌）], colon [结肠], and cervical [宫颈]. But recent research in the Journal of Clinical Oncology [临床肿瘤学] on patients in the U.K. showed blood tests that can detect cancer markers [标志物] can help catch disease earlier. Megan Hall heads [领导] medical affairs [药品事务] for Grail, the company that makes the test used in the study. So it's a real fundamental shift [根本性的转移，变化] in how we think about cancer screening. Instead of screening for individual cancers, we can now screen an individual for multiple cancers simultaneously [同时]. She says such tests, currently under regulatory review [监管审查], could help improve survival rates [生存率]. 

The National Guard [国民警卫队] is patrolling [巡逻] the reflecting pool [林肯纪念堂前的倒影池] in Washington, D.C. Contractors [分包商，此处指工人] have been using chemicals [化学物质] to combat algae [对抗藻类] and trying to address the peeling [剥落的] American flag blue paint liner [此处指油漆粉刷的边缘], which the administration added ahead of the country's 250th birthday celebrations. President Trump claims there have been multiple arrests for damage to the pool's liner. He says the pool might need to be drained [抽干] again for repairs.
