Can Trump and Iran Make a Deal on Monday?

That is a big change, because he had also spoken about attacks.

Yes, and he said he called off what he described as “massive” strikes.

So what did he say would happen instead?

He told reporters on Air Force One the two sides were talking again.

He said it would begin “tomorrow afternoon.”

And Iran has not answered that idea yet, right?

That’s right. Tehran has not responded to the suggestion.

So now, this is still a Trump announcement, not a confirmed joint plan.

That sounds important, because the news can change very fast here.

It can. Trump has said before that a deal was close, but then strikes started again.

So people are watching closely to see if this time is different.

He also spoke about not wanting more deaths, which changes the tone a little.

It does. He said, “I’m not looking to kill people.”

He also said Saudi Arabia's crown prince, the UAE, and Qatar urged him not to strike.

So regional leaders seem to have pushed for caution.

Exactly. He said they thought there might be a deal on Hormuz and nuclear issues.

And markets reacted quickly, didn’t they?

Yes. Oil prices fell on Monday morning in Asia trading after his announcement.

That shows how closely energy markets are tied to this conflict.

So the next big question is whether talks really start on Monday.

Yes, and whether both sides stay at the table long enough to make progress.

A Malaysian boy on trial in a school murder case

Now we go to Mia, our LinguaWire correspondent for justice.

A teenage boy in Malaysia is now on trial for allegedly killing a schoolmate.

This case is very serious, and the boy's age makes it harder to take in.

It does. The boy is accused of murdering 16-year-old Yap Shing Xuen last October.

He was 14 at the time.

What do officials say about what happened at the school?

Police say the girl was found dead in a toilet at her secondary school near Kuala Lumpur.

They said she had been stabbed many times.

That detail is very hard to hear.

Yes, and it is part of why the case has shocked Malaysia.

It has also started a wider debate about social media and children.

So the trial is about more than one case now.

Exactly. Police previously said they suspected social media may have influenced the boy.

They also confirmed that a note was found on him when he was arrested.

But that does not prove the reason for the crime, right?

No, it does not. Reports about the note have fueled discussion, but they do not settle the case.

What happens next in court?

The boy has pleaded not guilty.

If he is convicted, he could spend decades in prison.

And because he is a minor, the law treats him differently?

Yes. Under Malaysian law, he cannot be publicly named while he is still a minor.

He also cannot face the death penalty.

But he could still get 30 to 40 years in jail. He could also be flogged.

That makes the legal side very strict, even with his young age.

It does. The case is now both a court story and a public debate.

Three words from the second story.

to accuse means to say someone did something bad.

In the story, the boy is accused of murdering the girl.

A simple example: The police accused him of lying.

to plead means to say your answer in court.

In the story, he pleaded not guilty.

A simple example: She pleaded guilty to the charge.

to influence means to affect how someone thinks or acts.

In the story, police suspected social media may have influenced the boy.

A simple example: Good friends can influence your choices.

Now a grammar point.

Title: be accused of

We use be accused of plus a noun or verb-ing. It means someone may have done wrong, but it is not proved.

Example one: The boy is accused of murdering a schoolmate.

Example two: She is accused of taking the money.

Repeat after me: is accused of
