3. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Guo Jiakun, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson:

"China is closely following the development of the situation in the Middle East. We do not want to see the spiral of escalations and hope that a ceasefire can be realized as soon as possible. Facts have proven that military means cannot bring about peace and that dialogue and negotiation is the right way to solve problems. China calls on the parties concerned to return to the right track of political settlement at an early date. China is ready to work with the international community to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East."

4. Mid of reporters

5. Wide of news conference

STORYLINE:

China on Tuesday restated that it is “closely following” the Middle East tensions and called for a ceasefire to be implemented “as soon as possible.”

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a daily news briefing in Beijing when asked about U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire.”

“China calls on the parties concerned to return to the right track of political settlement at an early date,” Guo added.

Earlier Tuesday, Israel warned its public to take shelter after detecting missile launches from Iran.

The launches came after 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, the time Iran's Foreign Minister said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their airstrikes.

It is unclear yet how the latest developments will impact possible ceasefire agreements.

4. Monument and sign

5. Various of traffic on road

STORYLINE:

Tehran residents woke to an unusually quiet morning after a night of heavy Israeli airstrikes, as U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

The tentative truce proposed hung in the balance as Israel said Iran had launched missiles into its airspace less than three hours after a ceasefire went into effect and vowed to retaliate.

Explosions boomed and sirens sounded across northern Israel midmorning on Tuesday, after both Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted the ceasefire plan to end the 12-day war roiling the Middle East.

The acceptance of the deal by both sides came after Tehran launched an onslaught of missiles targeting Israel that killed at least four people early Tuesday morning, while Israel launched a blitz of airstrikes targeting sites across Iran before dawn.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to a bilateral ceasefire with Iran in coordination with Trump.

Netanyahu said that he had reported to Israel’s security cabinet Monday night that Israel had achieved all of its war goals in the 12-day operation against Iran, including removing the threat of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Israel also damaged Iran’s military leadership and several government sites and achieved control over Tehran’s skies, Netanyahu said.

Heavy Israeli strikes continued in Iranian cities until shortly before 4 a.m., followed by Iranian barrages that sent Israelis hurrying into bomb shelters as the sun rose.

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Dean Elsdunne, Israeli police spokesman:

"You can see behind me, search and rescue teams are still working intensively in their efforts to try to find civilians that may be trapped underneath the rubble in the latest target of the Iranian regime, which is a residential building. It's gotten to the point where it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. We've gone from scene to scene and seen that it's constantly been residential buildings, hospitals, places where civilians go around. And our police efforts have been ongoing since the early morning with bomb squads arriving to the scene to clear the area of any risk of secondary explosives or any dangerous fragments left over from that missile so that the first responders can go floor by floor, room by room and remove rubble and debris to see if there's anybody trapped underneath. We know at this time, unfortunately, of four individuals who have been murdered by this latest attack on civilians."

5. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Yehezkiel Cheri, Beersheba resident:

"I was in a synagogue. I opened the synagogue and wanted to put on tefillin to pray, then there was a siren at 5:35, something like that. Then I went out, the siren.. and in the middle, the building, when I was going toward the safe room, it blew up. I saw something close to me, I saw fire in front of me, then I entered, I got scared. Then I went to the synagogue. Everything in the synagogue was broken into, all the ceiling, then I closed the synagogue and went out home."

"I don’t think we need to continue (this war). It’s a pity. This is a soul of God, and we need to protect each one. Every soul must be protected, from all countries, the whole world needs to care for each other."

STORYLINE:

Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East, after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar.

Residents evacuated the impacted buildings, carrying belongings in bags and stuffed suitcases.

Neighbors and family members embraced while trying to figure out where to go next.

STORYLINE:

Brushing up on English has taken on new urgency for future and current truck drivers in the United States.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order in April saying that commercial truckers who don’t read and speak the language proficiently would be considered unfit for service.

U.S. Department of Transportation guidelines for applying the order go into effect on Wednesday.

The procedures call for enhanced roadside inspections to determine if commercial motor vehicle operators can reply to questions and directions in English, as well as understand U.S. highway traffic signs and electronic message boards.

Some truckers worry they may lose their jobs if they make a mistake or speak with a heavy accent.

++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Jon Gambrell, The Associated Press:

++SOUNDBITE PARTLY OVERLAID WITH THE FOLLOWING SHOTS++

"We've seen a chaotic morning in the Middle East after President Donald Trump announced this tentative ceasefire to end the Iran-Israel war. Now, around 4 a.m. Tehran time, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi wrote online that if there were no additional Israeli airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic, that Tehran would stop its attacks on Israel. There's been no acknowledgement of this by Israel, both of Aragachi's comments. And Trump's posts online about the tentative ceasefire. But just in the last few minutes, we've had at least three barrages of missiles launched by Iran at Israel. Now it's unclear how this affects the tentatives ceasefire that's supposed to fully take hold today. In other rounds of Mideast wars, including those involving Israel, we often see belligerents launch last minute attacks targeting areas that they wanted to hit in their campaigns. And we haven't still heard from Israel officially from its political class, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he stands on the Trump-proposed ceasefire. This all means that while these attacks are going on, there's still a chance for the ceasefire to take hold, but everything remains incredibly tentative."

STORYLINE:

U.S. President Donald Trump said Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said as long as Israel stopped its attacks by 4 a.m. local Tehran time Tuesday, Iran would halt its own.

But Israel’s military warned its public Tuesday that Iran had launched missiles towards it near an hour after that time.
