Two days after a March 31st deadline for an agreement on Iran's controversial nuclear program, international diplomats² meeting in Switzerland said they had one. It's not a final deal. Details between Iran, the U.S. and several other countries still have to be worked out by June 30th. President Obama called the agreement a good deal that will prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. In exchange, world powers will lift their sanctions that have hurt Iran's economy. Israeli officials, who were not involved in the negotiations³, called the agreement a poor framework that could make the world more dangerous. Republicans and some Democrats⁴ in the U.S. Congress have been skeptical⁵ of an agreement with Iran. They may try to block it.

 

Next, to the African nation of Kenya. The al-Shabab terrorist group, which is based in neighboring Somalia, says it attacked Christian⁶ students at a Kenyan university yesterday. Kenyan officials say Islamist gunmen killed 147 people and wounded scores of others. All four of the attackers were killed. Kenya's president says his country's been suffering from a shortage of security officers. He called for their training to be sped up.

 

There's a storm brewing⁷ in the Western Pacific Ocean. As of last night, it was headed right for the Northern Philippines. Here's what Typhoon Maysak looks like from space. At one point, it was a super typhoon with 150 miles per hour winds. But it was weakening as it approached the Philippines. Still expected to bring strong winds and flooding and interrupt Easter celebrations in the mostly Catholic country.
