With the 10th anniversary of the 2016 EU referendum result approaching, we would like to hear from people on how the vote affected their relationships with family and/or friends. Perhaps you voted differently from a parent, child, sibling, partner, or friend, which caused tension and conflict. If so, a decade on, have you been able to heal the rift, move past your differences or has it damaged your relationship beyond repair? Tell us.

How did you overcome your Brexit fallouts with family or friends?

23 min Time for a Bovril break, the crowd booing righteously. Good, the more Fifa hear of that the better, except the relevant suits are probably watching the ads. 22 min It’s just occurred to me that, excited to even consider salad cream, I neglected to wish Bob’s wife better, so let’s do that now. Meantime, SA continue probing, Kovar thrashing forward to no one when their latest attack founders. 20 min I’m not sure if Czechia planned to sit back if they scored, if they’re doing it feart to lose what they have, or if SA are pushing them back; my sense is the second, with a bit of the third. But they looked much better when pushing the pace. 18 min Not that long ago, Anya Hindmarch sold salad cream ice cream. It wasn’t that good. 17 min “Salad cream, Daniel?” intones a disappointed Charles Antaki. “Please tell us you were teasing. If not, then well done for giving it up - the prodigal son and all that - but what were you thinking? Crown Paints Sahara Beige, with added sugar.” I like excessive tastes – sour, spicy, tangy – and salad cream is the latter. If I’m picking one condiment to slap on a slice of toast, that’s my one. 15 min SA enjoy possession, which makes them more cultured than me – I couldn’t get on with S Byatt’s prose, at all – and move the ball right, Modiba into Adams, who spreads to Mudau. And the cross is a goodun, Rayners charging towards it and leaping, but able only to shin wide. 13 min The corner is poor and when the ball comes to Modiba, 1,623 yards out, he takes aim, and fires somewhere towards Maine. 12 min SA have realised there’s a game on, and that they’re in it. They get the ball wide down the right, Maseko moving it infield to Appollis, who shoots from 25, there’s a deflection … and the net ripples. But because the effort brushed the side and roof, not because it’s in. 11 min “An unhealthy diet of football,” reckons Bob O’Hara. “I’m sat here with my wife in hospital watching the match and she just suggested this is the mustard & ketchup match.” Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I love mustard and ketchup, all the more so since I quit salad cream. 9 min My screen crashes, but Czechia have started well – they’re passing and moving really nicely, and now SA have a bit of the ball their defensive shape blankets the attack in no time. 7 min That was a really lovely goal, but SA only had one man back; once again, I’m not at all sure what they’re trying to accomplish. That was coming because, once again, SA have started like they’d rather be home. Coufal takes a throw quickly, hurling low and towards the by-line for Hlozek, who sweeps back to the edge. Mudau might do better to cut it out, but the touch from Sojka, who might shoot, but instead slips a dainty pass around the defender, allowing Sadilek to power a dink over Williams’ dive. 5 min Williams comes for the corner, doesn’t get to the ball, and when the ball falls to Sadilek on the edge, he’s relieved the shot is off target. 5 min Sadilek swings over to Coufal, pulling out of the box on the far side, and his volley back in is knocked behind for a corner. 3 min Czechia, though, have started fairly well, quickly winning a corner … which comes to nothing. But they build again, Darida showing nice feet to invite the challenge and win the free-kick, 30 yards out, left of centre. 1 min Immediately, Cerv spreads wide, then Sojka spoons over a cross … and when no defender cuts it out, suddenly Schick has a free header at the back post! But it’s as though he can’t believe it’s happening, or even allowed for him to be so alone, so he nods a tame effort that’s barely an effort at all, into the ground, and Williams saves. That was a great chance, it fell to who Czechia would’ve wanted it to … and nothing. 1 min Hold tight Tori Penso, only the second woman to ref a men’s World Cup match; she gets us going. “Czechia v South Africa, could be a dogs breakfast,” enthuses Mary Waltz. “But if one of these wins today they have a chance at the knockout round. Some complain about the expanded roster but in the old set up I would probably skip this fixture. Poor teams playing desperate football can be entertaining.” It’s hard to grouse about the expanded field because it gives us the teams riding the phattest buzz to be involved, which can deliver amazing moments and matches. And ultimately, many of us are hopeless football addicts, delighted to guzzle our fix wherever we find it, meaning more is more. I wonder how Sphephelo Sithole is getting on – he had the mare of mares last time out, culpable in Mexico’s first goal before getting sent off. I hope he’s managed to assimilate it into his being and move on. Anthem time… The Atlanta roof is closed and the aircon on. Maybe they’ll hydrate with Bovril. Ah, our teams are tunnelled … and here they come! I’m a little surprised Czechia have left out Soucek, whose set-piece presence has always been a big part of their attacking threat. Hlozek, who’s come in, is also a big lad, but its not just about height but attacking the ball and anticipating where it might drop – at which Soucek is a master. On BBC, Benni McCarthy was just saying that in SA, people were mainly disappointed by the negativity. And he’s not wrong – I’m sure this wasn’t the plan, and can understand that an opening match, against the host, in the Azteca, is a daunting proposition, but it looked like they turned up hoping not to get splattered, rather than believing they’d win. How good was this? It’s so great to get that kind of insight and honesty – then know it’s been effectively communicated because the response was so intense. My best guess is England’s defence costs them eventually – and much as I think Thomas Tuchel is excellent, the back four he picked isn’t, for mine, the best one he could’ve picked – but in midfield, they can compete with anyone, and their attacking options are also up with everyone bar France’s. Where is the game? Czechia will, I think, look to dominate midfield, looking to get the ball forward quickly then hit Hlozek and Schick with crosses or ball to feet for an up, back and through, one of them holding the ball before laying it off for it to go forward again. South Africa, meanwhile, will look for quick counters, especially in behind the wingers and down the outside of the outside centre backs, with Adams and Mokoena making third-man runs beyonds Rayners and into the box. Email! “This is a bittersweet game for me,” confesses John Brennan. “When the draw was made in December, this was the most likely game that I could get to see Ireland play. I probably couldn’t have pulled off going to Mexico but getting from NY to Atlanta would have been reasonable. The stadium would have been packed with Irish fans between Irish living here on the East Coast and people travelling. Just thinking about it makes me wistful. What if Ryan Manning didn’t give away that stupid penalty, what if Parrott had scored that chance in the second half, what if Sammy Smzodics hadn’t been taken out of it and had been able to take a penalty instead of Alan Browne. And yeah if all those things had happened and Ireland beat Czechia, it would probably be Denmark playing today. Anyway, I have a strange feeling South Africa might show up today and make it difficult for the Czechs or maybe that is just a coping mechanism for me.” I feel you – but the buzz of those Parrott goals to get to there will never leave you. Who wants a bit of Mike Costello? Do I hear a hells to the yeah?! South Africa, meanwhile, are without Sithole and Zwane, sent off against Mexico; left our are Sibisi and Foster, with Mbatha, Maseko and Rayners coming in. They move from the 5-3-2 which put them under pressure last week to a far more natural 4-3-3. A strange change from Czechia, who add Holes to their defence – he replaces Chaloupek – while Soucek, Zeleny, Provod and Sulc also drop out. Others to come in are Sadilek, Darida, Cerv and Hlozsek; Miroslav Koubek must’ve seriously disliked what he saw. I also think there’ll be a formation change from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2. Before we look at those teams, also going on: Czechia (3-5-2): Kovar; Hranac, Holes, Krejci; Coufal, Sadilek, Darida, Cerv, Sojka; Hlozek, Schick. Subs: Chaloupek, Chory, Chytil, Doudera, Hornicek, Kuchta, Provod, Sochurek, Soucek, Stanek, Visinksy, Zeleny, Zima, Sulc. South Africa (4-3-3): Williams; Mudau, Okon, Mbokzai, Modiba; Mokoena, Mbatha, Adams; Maseko, Rayners, Appollis. Subs: Chaine, Cross, Foster, Goss, Kabini, Makgopa, Makhanya, Mataludi, Mofokeng, Moremi, Ndamane, Sebelebele, Sibisi. Referee: Tori Penso (USA) Mike Costello, the legendary boxing commentator, tells a story of when he was fresh in the game, an old pro heard him getting dead excited calling a fight that wasn’t Hagler-Hearns, so issued some advice: always leave yourself somewhere to go. For those of us involved in a similar kind of thing, this is an important lesson, but one easier grasped than lived – especially during the World Cup and even more so during this World Cup. How not to unload the suitcase – and why not unload the suitcase – when Curaçao equalise against Germany, Cape Verde force a draw with Spain and DRC equalise against then draw with Portugal? For them – and so for us, sport being the experience of living your life through others – this is their Hagler-Hearns, so it makes more sense to trust you’ll find somewhere to go than not turn up somewhere you desperately need to be. Which is to say we’ve enjoyed a sensational first week and round of football – but Czechia and South Africa have not, enduing the respective agonies of a soul-crushing late winner conceded and a total no-show dropped. But the structure of the competition is in their favour, a defeat today terminal for neither – though with final-round matches against Mexico and South Korea upcoming, a win feels essential for both. Kick-off: 12pm local and EDT, 5pm BST, 2am AEST

Czechia v South Africa: World Cup – live

Construction of a third runway at Heathrow is likely to have significant adverse effects on the health and wellbeing of up to 3 million people living nearby, an official report has said, as the government launched the next stage of its rapid airport expansion plan. An analysis for the Department for Transport has found that expanding London’s hub airport could have “major adverse” impacts on the health of the most local population. Construction and operation of the third runway will worsen not just noise and air quality, but could also harm access to housing, education, healthcare, open space, and transport, the report by the consultants Aecom said. Heathrow’s expansion will impact water quality, weaken community identity and cohesion, worsen landscapes and townscapes, and affect climate change mitigation and adaptation, it added. The impact analysis of the new policy said construction of a third runway would probably be beneficial for jobs, income, education, skills and training, but concluded: “Adverse effects are considered likely with regard to the other determinants which cover environmental and social considerations, and many of these have potential to be significant.” While the report is expected to help shape measures to mitigate the effect on residents, it says the impacts cannot be fully offset. The DfT was approached for comment. The disclosure came in supporting documents as the government announced another milestone in expansion, the accelerated publication for consultation of a draft national policy statement backing the third runway. The transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, said: “Today’s consultation is a positive step towards realising the benefits of a third runway, by giving businesses, communities and the public the chance to help shape this key project at one of the world’s most successful hub airports. “We are determined to move quickly and responsibly to set a framework for future expansion at Heathrow that will meet the needs of local people and the country on the key issues of noise, air quality, climate change and economic growth.” MPs will vote on whether to approve the policy, which is now known as the Heathrow Expansion national policy statement rather than covering airports nationwide. The previous policy statement was voted through under the Conservatives after the Airports Commission judged that only one runway could be built in south-east England without breaching climate commitments. Labour has since approved expansion at London’s Stansted, Luton and Gatwick airports. The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has been a champion of the third runway but is widely expected to leave office if Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield byelection and succeeds Keir Starmer as leader. She said: “Growth is this government’s top priority, and we are backing the builders to get Britain moving. An expanded Heathrow would support over 60,000 good local jobs and deliver up to £42bn in benefits to the UK – strengthening vital links and improving connectivity across the country.” Speaking at a conference in London, Reeves said: “Somebody had to bite the bullet … In the last 18 months, we’ve made more progress on Heathrow than the last government made in 14 years. And I am determined that by the time of the next election, there are spades in the ground.” Heathrow is seeking to build a 3,500-metre runway, which would require the M25 motorway being moved and the compulsory purchase of about 800 homes. The scheme, which is estimated to cost £33bn, would allow the airport to operate up to 756,000 flights with up to 150 million passengers each year. Heathrow’s chief executive, Thomas Woldbye, said the consultation on the third runway plan represented “something Britain has often found difficult in recent years – progress”. He added: “Our plan is privately funded by some of the largest investors in the world, widely supported by businesses, trade unions and communities across the country and it’s ready to go after years of scrutiny. We will now focus on securing planning permission and delivering this vital project.” Paul McGuinness, the chair of the No 3rd Runway Coalition, said the expansion plans were “lurching towards farce” and there would be a “decade of destruction” around the airport in bulldozing houses and land before any runway was built. He said airlines would be forced to pay ever higher charges and could be outpriced, adding: “No wonder an airline boss has called it HS2 all over again. It seems extraordinary that this government seems committed to repeating those mistakes.” Celeste Hick, the policy manager at the campaign group Aviation Environment Federation, said the government was rushing policy through “with very little meaningful consultation with the very people” who would pay the price – “communities living under the flight paths and those whose homes will be destroyed or rendered uninhabitable”.

Heathrow third runway likely to affect health of millions nearby, official report warns

England v New Zealand: second men’s Test, day two – live

Manny Feyi-Waboso has been declared fit to return for Exeter in this weekend’s Prem final at Twickenham. England’s star winger underwent facial surgery barely two weeks ago but, in a major boost for the Chiefs, is available for his side’s showdown with Northampton and, potentially, England’s Test against South Africa on 4 July. Rob Baxter, Exeter’s director of rugby, said the decision was ultimately taken by Feyi-Waboso himself after England’s medical team indicated they had no objections to him playing. The 23-year-old had a plate inserted in his jaw this month but is now free to bolster the Chiefs’ efforts to secure a first Prem title since 2020. “All the information is very, very positive,” said Baxter, keen for Exeter to show the absolute best of themselves on their return to Twickenham. “It’s not like there’s damage that needs protecting so let’s get on with it now. “For obvious reasons he’s been in a red bib so players know to avoid any level of contact but we’ve done very little tackling this week, even grab tackling. He’s been running around so is fully ready to go.” Feyi-Waboso’s enhanced England contract means the national management also has to approve his return but Baxter said the decision had boiled down to the wishes of the player himself. “The process is that the three parties need to align but the principal person who drives it once they’ve got all the information is the player. “England haven’t been obstructive in allowing Manny to make that decision. They’ve been fully behind the call. The surgeon and everyone has given him all the information. He’s been fully assessed. They’re very happy for Manny to make the decision and that’s how it should be. England have been fine with it. “It’s always up to the player really. I never tell any player they have to play. When it’s a close call one way or the other, you hand it over to the player and he’s declared himself fit. It’s not something I’ve had to be involved with.” Exeter are also set to be boosted by the return of their England back-row Ethan Roots, who missed the dramatic semi-final win over Bath because he was still going through precautionary head injury protocols. The wing Campbell Ridl has also been declared fit after being withdrawn early at the Recreation Ground with a bruised knee. Given their ninth-placed finish in last season’s table, the Chiefs were not widely expected to reach this week’s final but Baxter has been stressing the importance of making the most of the opportunity now in front of them. “Winning the final’s not the hard part, the hard part is getting here,” Baxter said. “On Monday morning we had a very frank meeting and said: ‘Right, the semi-final’s done now, let’s move on.’ You can really look back and enjoy it if you win a final. As good as the Bath game was, it didn’t lead to us winning the Premiership. But if we play well this weekend that game might have been one of the games that led us to win in the Premiership and then we can really enjoy it.” Exeter’s last appearance in the domestic showpiece came in 2021 when they lost narrowly to Harlequins, having claimed a league and European double the previous year. This time Northampton are the bookmakers’ favourites but Baxter insists Exeter will give it everything with and without the ball. “We’ve got to fight in all areas,” he said. “We can’t try and let the game be about Northampton’s attack against our defence because if it gets to that stage you’re probably losing it. There’s multiple ways to skin a cat but we’ve just got to make sure it’s not just about us trying to nullify their attack. It’s about making sure we attack as well.”

Feyi-Waboso declared fit for Prem final after jaw surgery in boost for Exeter

Asked about Trump’s recent criticisms of Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, Vance says that while Israel has the right to defend itself, “the Israelis, just like everybody else, have to respect this peace process.” He added: The president has grown frustrated sometimes that we seem to be right on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the agreement, and then all of a sudden, there’s a major explosion that goes off in a civilian population center in Beirut, and a lot of people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah lose their lives. That’s not acceptable. He adds the the administration is “quite confident” that it can lift sanctions on Iranian oil without congressional approval. Vance says Congress should have received the formal signed copy of the memorandum of understanding this morning (or will do later today), and the White House is planning to brief lawmakers soon. Vance says the deal is about wider peace in the region, and that while the US expects Hezbollah to not attack Israel, it also expects “that the Israelis are not going to be going wild in Lebanon”. Asked if he’s worried about Trump making him the “fall guy” if the deal with Iran goes sideways, Vance says he thinks the president was “joking” when he said he would blame him if the deal proves a failure. Vance also jokes that his appearance on ABC’s The View earlier this week as evidence that he can hold his own in “very hostile negotiations”, claiming he and panellist Joy Behar “are best friends now”. Vance is asked about the shift in Trump’s stance regarding Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal. Trump stated on 28 February that destroying Iran’s missiles and missile industry was a key objective of the war. Yesterday, however, he told reporters in Paris that it would be “unfair” for Iran to not have “some” ballistic missiles, because other countries have them. Attempting to clarify Trump’s comments, Vance says: Countries don’t give up the right of self-defence. Israel doesn’t give up the right of self-defence if Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don’t give up the right of self-defence in their country. But we do expect that, as part of the final deal, they are not going to be able to build the kind of missiles that can broadly threaten the entire world. Vance says the 60-day window laid ⁠out in the ⁠memorandum of ‌understanding to reach a final agreement with Iran begins today. “I would say the 60-day period officially started today. It was signed late, and it may have even been signed technically, you know, because of the time shift, I think it’s signed technically today, Iran time,” he says. If that is the case, it would set a deadline for the final deal between Iran and the United States as 17 August. Vance also repeated the administration’s claims that the US’s war has destroyed Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, but it has been reported that US intelligence estimates suggest that Iran has retained about 70% of its pre-war ballistic and cruise missile stockpile. Vance stresses that “the United States isn’t giving up a cent of money to Iran” and that the sanctions relief and other economic benefits in the bargain “only happens if the Iranians perform”. He calls the situation a “win-win” for the US. Vance is here, and he starts by claiming that Trump’s peace deal with Iran “is already bearing real fruits for the American people”, with 12.5m barrels going through the strait of Hormuz last night and gas prices dropping below $4 today for the first time since the conflict began. Iran didn’t shoot at any ships overnight, he adds, and the US Navy allowed more than a dozen ships through to Iranian ports. While we wait for Vance to arrive, earlier today in Brussels, defence secretary Pete Hegseth said the US will restart military action and ⁠reimpose a ⁠blockade against Iran if it does not fulfil its commitments ⁠under the agreement signed yesterday. “The ‌president has pointed out ‌that we will be prepared to recommence if underneath the timeline of these talks, Iran ‌does not do what it says it’s going to do,” Hegseth said after a meeting with Nato defence ministers. “If Iran doesn’t comply, then we’re more than able to reimpose an ironclad ‌blockade,” he added. He also slammed Nato for its perceived lack of support for US in its war against Iran, as my colleague, Jakub Krupa, reports on the Europe live blog. Hegseth said: The United States has defended Europe for generations, and the President said all he said was that our jets would need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East, Iranian targets that threaten European interests even more directly than they threaten us. But too many of our allies said no, or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticised us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves. It was shameful. These allies, they put America’s sons and daughters, our sons and daughters, at risk by denying them the predictable access facing an overflight that never should have been in question at all. And that’s all the supreme court is giving us for now, folks. But don’t worry, JD Vance is due to hold the White House press briefing at the top of the hour, where he will no doubt face questions on the details of the deal with Iran the president signed last night at Versailles – a deal which some of Trump’s allies are already seeking to pin on the vice-president. Though that could end up being very much to Vance’s advantage. “Without question, the biggest potential political liability Vance had was the unpopularity of the war in Iran,” one person close to the White House who supports the deal told Politico last night. “So it’s fascinating to watch his biggest enemies in the GOP unwittingly inoculate him from that liability by branding him as responsible for the peace deal.” The person went on: “[Vance] now gets to do a media tour defending the president - AKA the kingmaker of our party - from their idiotic criticism of the deal. While even his critics would acknowledge that the vice-president is a smart guy, sometimes what really matters in politics is how stupid your enemies are.” The supreme court has sided with a marijuana user who wants to legally own a gun, the latest in a line of firearm cases from a court that has expanded gun rights. In a 9-0 ruling, the justices sided with Ali Danial Hemani, a resident of Texas who was charged with felony gun possession after he acknowledged being a regular marijuana user. Hemani wasn’t charged with any other crimes or accused of using the weapon under the influence. The 1968 Gun Control Act makes possession of a firearm illegal for anyone ⁠who “is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance”. That gun restriction led to the 2024 conviction of Hunter Biden, who later that year received a pardon from his father, then-president Joe Biden. Prosecutors had accused him of lying about his use ⁠of narcotics in 2018 when he purchased a Colt Cobra handgun. Hemani argued that a federal law barring gun ownership from anyone who uses drugs illegally violates the constitution’s second amendment. The decision is a loss for the Trump administration, which had defended the 1968 law despite arguing against other gun restrictions. The supreme court has started releasing opinions, so far it has issued a ruling backing a challenge to a federal law barring drug users from owning guns. We’ll bring you any more updates here as we get them. Indeed, this morning’s Washington Post Early Brief (paywall) asks the question: “Are we back to where we started on Iran?” The memorandum ends the fighting, reopens the strait of Hormuz and gives Trump a chance to claim he prevented a broader economic crisis. But many of its core terms appear to return the US and Iran to roughly where they were before the conflict: with Iran’s government still in power and its long-term nuclear commitments still unresolved. Before the war, the strait of Hormuz saw the free flow of shipping, including roughly a fifth of the world’s oil traffic. Reopening the water way essentially restores the status quo. Iran and the US had also already engaged in negotiations - albeit brokenly - on a framework over Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting U.S. sanctions. The negotiations were in pursuit of a deal to replace the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated under President Barack Obama, which Trump vehemently criticized and left during his first term. The terms of the MOU diverge substantially from Trump’s initial threats to obliterate Iran unless it agreed to “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” back in March. And it diverged from long-standing conservative criticisms of Obama’s deal that lifted sanctions on Iran. After Donald Trump’s signing of the 14-point agreement with Iran yesterday at the Palace of Versailles – the home of humiliating treaties - the question of what the president’s war was actually for continues to divide some Republicans and foreign policy hawks. GOP senator Lindsey Graham, a key Trump ally, appeared to soften his view of the memorandum of understanding yesterday (from this to this) after a “very lengthy and productive” conversation with US special envoy Steve Witkoff. “After this discussion, it is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the strait of Hormuz will begin to open, and the hostilities with Iran will stop,” Graham wrote on X. “Whether or not the United States can reach an acceptable, verifiable deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program and other issues is yet to be determined, but I see little downside to trying.” But a handful of other Senate Republicans were more scathing in their views. Outgoing Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy, who Trump failed to back in a tightly fought primary last month, said that the whole affair had Ronald Reagan “rolling over in his grave”. He wrote on X: Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades. Ted Cruz, who has backed the war, said the president was getting “very poor advice when it comes to this deal”. Susan Rice, a former official in the Obama and Biden administrations was more blunt in her assessment, calling it “the biggest national security blunder in decades”, while Democratic senator Adam Schiff said it was “hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation”. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The US gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. In case you missed it, last night Donald Trump signed a 14-point agreement with Iran, claiming it delivered a “major win” for the United States – even as it made significant political and financial concessions to Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz and prevent a “worldwide depression”. In extraordinary remarks yesterday, Trump went from threatening Iran with a new wave of attacks to suggesting the country had basic rights to enrich uranium for civilian use, that he would not pressure Tehran to abandon its ballistic missiles programme and the US was “going to have to give back” billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. Those remarks, as well as the full text of the agreement – which was hailed by the Hezbollah chief, Naim Qassem, as a “great victory” – are likely to fuel anger in Israel and among hardliners in the Republican party who had urged Trump not to make a deal with Tehran. Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, signed the agreement yesterday from Tehran. US vice-president JD Vance is also expected to sign the deal at a more formal ceremony in Geneva tomorrow. Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said: The agreement is a record of US failure. People will see it and judge. Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. The supreme court is expected to render at least one judgment today as the term is set to come to an end later this month. There are a series of cases yet to be decided that are relevant to Donald Trump, including his attempt to limit birthright citizenship and plan to remove legal protection from Haitian and Syrian immigrants. Generally, terms last between October and late June – but the most significant cases are often left until the end of the term. There are two main immigration-based decisions yet to be made. One pending ruling is on Trump’s desire to ban birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and those whose parents are temporary residents. “Birthright citizenship is one of America’s most consequential commitments – the idea that where you are born, not where your parents came from, determines your belonging to this nation,” said Adam Strom, executive director and co-founder of Reimagining Migration, in The74. “For the millions of immigrant-origin children in our schools, this isn’t an abstraction. It’s the ground they stand on.” The court also has a case that will decide if the US can terminate the Temporary Protected Status that has allowed Haitian and Syrian immigrants to live and work in the country. Other significant cases include Trump’s wish to fire a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. In other news: Donald Trump has signed a 14-point agreement with Iran, claiming it delivered a “major win” for the US. The Guardian’s Andrew Roth argues that the US entered war with maximalist goals and exited it with a pragmatic decision to end conflict despite political cost. A teenager has died after being thrown to the ground on Wednesday when a Central Park carriage horse bolted away from its driver, police in New York have said. On Wednesday, court proceedings revealed that Luigi Mangione’s legal team plans on pursuing a psychiatric defense during his upcoming Manhattan state court trial over the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.
