AMNA NAWAZ: We start the day's other headlines with a temporary truce between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The neighboring nations have agreed to a 48 hour cease-fire following days of deadly clashes.

Tensions flared last week after an airstrike in Kabul, which the Taliban blamed on Pakistan.

Ground fighting has since been reported at several military posts along both sides of the long contested border.

Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of harboring armed groups in the region, which the Taliban-led government denies.

Dozens have been killed, key border crossings remain closed, and civilians say the violence is taking its toll.

HAJI SADAM, Pakistan Resident (through translator): Firing started from both sides.

In our village, shells and bullets started hitting people's houses.

Our request is for both our government of Pakistan and the Taliban fighters to immediately stop this war.

AMNA NAWAZ: Pakistani officials said today that Afghanistan had requested the temporary truce.

Taliban officials said the opposite, that the cease-fire was at the -- quote - - "insistence" of the Pakistani side.

Kenya has declared a week of national mourning to mark the passing of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

AMNA NAWAZ: President William Ruto says flags will fly at half-mast and Odinga will receive a state funeral.

Today, Kenyans publicly mourned the man they called Baba, or Father.

Odinga started as an activist in the 1980s and was frequently detained by the authorities.

He later ran for president five times.

And even though he never won, his populist campaigns and pro-democracy efforts gave him an outsized influence within Kenya and beyond.

Raila Odinga was 80 years old.

A federal judge in Montana dismissed a lawsuit today brought by young climate activists who tried to stop President Trump's executive orders on fossil fuels.

Their lawsuit argued that actions to boost drilling and mining and discourage renewable energy will endanger the planet for future generations and violate their constitutional rights.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is pushing back on President Trump's threat to move World Cup matches out of the city next year.

Trump made the claim while meeting with Argentina's president yesterday, saying the city had been -- quote -- "taken over," though he offered no evidence of that.

World Cup sites are worked out with FIFA, the world's soccer governing body, and not under the president's control.

It's a point that Mayor Wu made to a radio program this morning.

MICHELLE WU (D), Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts: All of that is in conversation and in many, many, many months of planning now.

Much of it is locked down by contract, so that no single person, even if they live in the White House currently, can undo it.

In this case, it's a little bit of a -- there's no ability to take away the World Cup games.

There's no real threat when it comes to saying cities are so unsafe that they can't host the Games.

AMNA NAWAZ: Boston is one of 11 U.S.

cities set to host World Cup matches next year.

Today, attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case applauded the decision, writing that -- quote -- "The attempts to promote religion in the classroom and the abuses of power should never happen in Oklahoma or anywhere in the United States again."
