Also: today’s stories, including what U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation means as the seventh to leave the position in the past decade; what impacts the latest farm bill could have on the U.S.; and how a non-profit café in Illinois is helping youth experiencing hardship find success.

    The temporary ceasefire agreement reached between the U.S. and Iran is meant to end the war, reopen vital shipping lanes in the Gulf, and address Iran’s nuclear ambitions – at a later time. It includes big economic incentives for Tehran and comes up short on President Donald Trump’s stated goals for starting the war in the first place. Also: today’s stories, including our columnist’s thoughts on how President Trump and President Putin are handling their respective wars; how one woman in Missouri is preserving Black history along Route 66; and an essay from our staff photographer on how persistence, humanity, and instant connection create lasting joy during a recent trip to Côte d’Ivoire. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.

    A series of dominoes might be starting to fall that could lead to Andy Burnham becoming the next prime minister of the United Kingdom. But first, he has to win Thursday’s by-election in the constituency of Makerfield. That’s not guaranteed. Also: today’s stories, including how rapid advances in artificial intelligence models raise questions about national security; how the G7 summit shows Europe’s enduring desire to work with the United States; and how the newly opened Obama Center pilots a community model.
