Good morning. A shaky truce between Israel and Iran is holding. China’s Labubu craze changes the way consumers shop. And there’s trouble in South Park. Listen to the day’s top stories.

A shaky Iran-Israel ceasefire appeared to hold after an angry Donald Trump slammed both sides for mutual attacks in the early hours of the accord. The president’s tone cooled later as he hailed “PEACE abroad.” In Doha and Dubai, life returned to “normal” after a 24 hours of chaos. Meanwhile, the United Nations’ atomic watchdog has a question: Where is Iran’s 409 kilograms of near-bomb-grade uranium? That may be increasingly important amid reports that the US bombing failed to completely destroy the nuclear sites.
