Hey, from CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the five things you need to know for Monday, March 30th.

Despite all of the public posturing you hear from the regime and false reporting, talks are continuing and going well. What is said publicly is of course much different than what's being communicated to us privately.

That's White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt earlier today on indirect talks between the U.S. And Iran. She suggested Tehran's comments contradicting what President Donald Trump said earlier about Iran agreeing to most of the U S's 15 point demands doesn't reflect what's being said in negotiations. But it comes as there appears to be some mixed messages on the talks from within the Trump administration. The White House says Iranian negotiators appear to be more reasonable than the regime's previous leaders, even though Trump and his team have yet to specify who they're communicating with. However, on Good Morning America today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this.

Look, there's some fractures going on there internally. If there are new people now in charge who have a more reasonable vision of the future, that would be good news for us, for them, for the entire world. But we also have to be prepared for the possibility, maybe even the probability, that that is not the case.

Meanwhile, oil prices settled at their highest level since the Iran War began. WTI, the U.S. Oil benchmark, rose to $102.88 per barrel. Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, rose to a $112.78. After surpassing $116 per barrel earlier today, when Trump said in an interview with the Financial Times that he wanted to, quote, take the oil in Iran and could seize Karg Island, which handles about 90% of the country's oil exports.

More news coming up, including how AI data centers could be making life hotter for millions of people.

'Now to an update on an attack at a Michigan synagogue earlier this month. Today, the FBI said it was, quote, a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan. A naturalized U.S. Citizen from Lebanon rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue hitting a security officer, as more than 100 children were attending school inside. Other security officers got into a shootout with a suspect who eventually shot and killed himself inside the truck, which officials say was full of explosives. No one was killed but the truck's engine caught fire, damaging the building.

'New research shows vast AI data centers are creating heat islands. Scientists say the centers warm the land around them by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit and even affected areas up to 6.2 miles away, making life harder for more than 340 million people. The study, which hasn't been peer reviewed yet, is from Andrea Maranoni, an associate professor with the Earth Observation Group at the University of Cambridge. He and his colleagues dug into one under-researched impact, the heat the data centers release through their energy-intensive processes, including computation-empowering cooling systems. They looked at temperature data over the last 20 years from remote sensors and mapped it against the locations of data centers that house thousands of servers and can stretch over a million square feet. Marinoni wants the research to spark more discussion about how to reduce AI's impacts.

For decades, surviving a heart attack has come with lifelong prescription medications called beta blockers. They're used to treat a wide range of cardiovascular concerns. But now, a growing body of research questions their necessity. CNN's Jacqueline Howard explained.

Ofoma, there has been more research recently showing that some heart attack survivors may not need to take beta blockers over a long period of time. And one new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that among low risk adults in stable condition who had been taking beta blocker for at least a year after a heart attack, those who stopped the medication did not have a higher risk of death, another heart attack or hospitalization for heart failure compared with those who continued the medication. That suggests it could be safe to stop beta blockers in these patients. But this research, it does not apply to all heart attack survivors. And of course, everyone's different, so you always want to talk with your doctor about what's best for you.

Coming up, a chocolate heist.

Ads for this chocolate bar say, give me a break, but some thieves made a break with more than 12 tons of Kit Kat bars. More than 400,000 bars were stolen from a truck in Europe. The company said the bars were being distributed along a route running from a factory in central Italy to Poland. In a statement posted on Instagram, Kit Kat added that there are no concerns for consumer safety and supply is not affected. This isn't the only massive chocolate heist to have taken place recently in Europe, Back in 2023, a British man was sentenced to 18 months in jail for stealing 200,000 chocolate eggs.

That is it for us. Our next episode drops tomorrow morning.
