What BBN said about it
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPresident Trump has given Iran a date, but one writer argues there are no measurable terms attached, nothing on uranium accounting, inspections or shipping, so it may be a calendar delay rather than diplomacy.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHarry Kane just became the first Englishman in twenty-five years to win the Ballon d'Or, after sixty-one goals for Bayern, and the London ceremony started forty-five minutes late because of traffic.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIsrael's vote left Netanyahu's bloc at fifty-four projected seats, seven short of a government. And Meta's new pet app is only in the Philippines.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEven the Ballon d'Or got stuck in traffic. At least it showed up.
