CNN Sees US-Iran Draft Agreement, DNI Hearing Drama, Lululemon China Controversy and more

Hey there from CNN. I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Wednesday, June 17th. What exactly is in the agreement between Iran and the U.S.? CNN obtained a draft copy of the memorandum of understanding from a U.S. official this morning. But a White House spokesperson said the text did not reflect the actual memorandum, and it's unclear if the wording will reflect the final document that will be signed in person on Friday in Switzerland. and technical details are still being finalized. President Donald Trump underlined that point at the G7 summit earlier today. No, it's not final. It's a memorandum of understanding. And if I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head.

Trump also pushed back on the idea that the U.S. would be investing in a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran through the memorandum, and he said he didn't push Gulf countries to invest either. We're not investing. We're not putting up 10 cents. People can decide to do that, but that's up to them. I mean, do you want me to say nobody's ever allowed to invest in a country? According to the text CNN has seen, the agreement would task the U.S. and regional partners with creating a,

So there was supposed to be a Senate confirmation hearing later this afternoon for President Trump's new permanent pick for Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, who is currently the Manhattan U.S. attorney. But overnight, Trump himself threw a giant wrench in those plans. He wrote on True Social that he was, quote, canceling the hearing until, until Jay Clayton's replacement Jamie McDonald is confirmed his U.S. attorney. Remember, Trump had originally wanted federal housing finance agency director Bill Pulte to be acting

CNN is out with new polling today on how Americans feel about so. called culture war issues like gender identity, cultural acceptance, and how we handle offensive speech. CNN's Ariel Edwards-Levy is our polling and analytics editor. Ariel, what did we learn? Hey, David. Yeah, what we see in our poll are some really close divides. Most of the public thinks there's a problem with the way our society handles speech. But that's pretty much split between those who say that people have to be too careful with what they say and those who think that people are too comfortable being offensive. Just under half say that acceptance of different cultures and identities has gone too far.

Well, a little over half reject that. And all of this is marked by a big partisan split. Now, looking ahead to the midterms, these aren't the kind of issues that typically make the top of voters list. That would be the economy. But many Republicans are hoping to seize on the theme in their campaigns. President Trump is trying to turn the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool, what he called American Flag Blue,

but it's still a murky green from an algae bloom, even after a roughly $14 million renovation that was completed just over a week ago. So park workers tried vacuuming up clumps of algae using a special filtration system, which the Department of Interior says is working, and now they're dumping gallons of hydrogen peroxide into the pool to try to clean it out.

We're in Washington, D.C. in the summertime. This is a shallow pool with stagnant water, abundant sunlight, and that creates a situation where opportunistic algae can really take advantage of the situation. All right, one more break. Let's take a deep breath, because we've got to talk about some. some yoga outrage.

But some people on social media took a closer look and they said, hey, is that a Japanese taiko drum? Some argued the use of the Japanese drum brought back painful memories of Japanese imperialism and wartime brutality experienced by the Chinese people.

This quickly went viral on the Chinese social media site Weibo, with lots of angry comments towards Lulu Lemon. The brain has since issued an apology and scrubbed the campaign, and they vowed to learn profound lessons and promised to adopt a more rigorous attitude in future events. That's all we got for now.
