RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington - 11 July 2025

1. Various of employees bringing in empty cardboard boxes to the U.S. State Department headquarters

2. Wide of entrance to State Department

3. Close of employee wheeling in empty shopping cart to the State Department

4. Wide of entrance to State Department

5. Mid of employee exiting State Department with full shopping cart

6. Close of employees entering and exiting

7. Mid of employees with numerous bags exiting the State Department

STORYLINE:

Employees began bringing out their belongings at the U.S. State Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., after the agency fired more than 1,300 employees on Friday.

The firings are in line with a dramatic reorganization plan from the Trump administration that critics say will damage America's global leadership and efforts to counter threats abroad.

The department is sending layoff notices to 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with domestic assignments in the United States, according to a senior department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters before individual notices were emailed to affected employees.

Foreign service officers affected will be placed immediately on administrative leave for 120 days, after which they will formally lose their jobs, according to an internal notice obtained by The Associated Press. For most civil servants, the separation period is 60 days, it said.

“In connection with the departmental reorganization … the department is streamlining domestic operations to focus on diplomatic priorities,” the notice says. “Headcount reductions have been carefully tailored to affect non-core functions, duplicative or redundant offices, and offices where considerable efficiencies may be found from centralization or consolidation of functions and responsibilities.”

While lauded by President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and their Republican allies as overdue and necessary to make the department leaner, more nimble and more efficient, the cuts have been roundly criticized by current and former diplomats who say they will weaken U.S. influence and its ability to counter existing and emerging threats abroad.

The Trump administration has pushed to reshape American diplomacy and worked aggressively to shrink the size of the federal government, including mass dismissals driven by the Department of Government Efficiency and moves to dismantle whole departments like the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Education Department.

USAID, the six-decade-old foreign assistance agency, was absorbed into the State Department last week after the administration dramatically slashed foreign aid funding.

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court cleared the way for the layoffs to start, while lawsuits challenging the legality of the cuts continue to pl... [truncated]

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jerusalem - 11 July 2025

1. Demonstrators beating on drums and holding signs; UPSOUND: “Five, six, seven, eight, Israel is an apartheid state!”

++ PARTIALLY COVERED BY SHOTS 3 - 7 ++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Tal (no last name given), activist reading a message from a friend in Gaza:

"A message from yesterday. Good evening Tal. We can no longer leave the house except for strictly necessary tasks. The situation in our area is very difficult and dangerous. Today, my brother's wife and his daughters fled the area and came to stay with us. Our situation is indescribable. We are exhausted. The children are terrified and so are we. Keep praying for us. Every day we have hope that there will be a ceasefire deal, but unfortunately it's like giving us painkillers to keep us quiet. They're pretending that they want the deal, but at the same time they're trying to destroy us."

3. Person holding sign reading (English) “PALESTINIAN LIVES MATTER. STOP THE SLAUGHTER!”

4. Demonstrators holding signs protesting against Israel's military campaign in Gaza

5. Person holding banner reading (English): “CEASEFIRE NOW”

6. More demonstrators holding signs protesting against Israel's military campaign in Gaza

7. Person holding sign reading (English) “STOP THE GAZA HUNGER GAMES”

8. Person holding sign reading (English) “GENOCIDE CANNOT BE UNDONE”; UPSOUND: “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, FREEDOM AND EQUALITY”

++ PARTIALLY COVERED BY SHOT 10 ++

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Maya Rosen, activist:

"We're going to continue to be here protesting, and we invite all of you to join us until this genocidal war ends."

10. More demonstrators holding signs protesting against Israel's military campaign in Gaza

STORYLINE:

A group of Israeli activists gathered in front of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Friday, calling for a comprehensive ceasefire to end the war in Gaza.

“We are going to continue to be here protesting, and we invite you all to join us until this genocidal war ends,” activist Maya Rosen said over the loudspeaker.

The protest has taken place while the war in Gaza has shown no sign of slowing and talks for a possible ceasefire continue.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump in Washington this week, but hopes for an agreement in the near term appeared to be fading as Netanyahu returned to Israel.

Netanyahu is holding firm to the idea that Hamas must be destroyed, while Hamas wants a complete end to the war following the proposed 60-day truce.

In Jerusalem, the demonstrating activists read messages they said they received from Palestinians in Gaza explaining the situation in the enclave.

The protesters also criticized the work of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli-backed American organization running a new aid program in Gaza that has been marred by violence and controversy.

The GHF denies there has been any violence in or around the sites themselves, which are in I... [truncated]

++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY A FLASH OF WHITE++

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Mustian, AP law enforcement reporter:

"The jury didn't spend much time deliberating. It was only a few hours. They barely had time to eat I'm told by the foreperson of the jury. They did acquit Dr. Ho on one count of money laundering. The jury foreperson Margaret Withers tells me that that was because of some jurisdictional questions that they had about the evidence that was presented to them. They essentially concluded that a bribe that had been paid to the Chadian president had not been transferred through the United States."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Mustian, AP law enforcement reporter:

"That was one of the questions the jury grappled with during its brief deliberations was why a prominent Hong Kong businessman and former Secretary of Home Affairs in that country was standing trial here. And The Justice Department says the reason is that a lot of the actions in this case a lot of the meetings the relevant wire transfers all occurred in Manhattan. Dr. Ho was a U.S. resident expected to pay taxes. Obviously did not declare these bribes that he paid on his taxes and was just a resident of Manhattan and made frequent trips to the United Nations."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Mustian, AP law enforcement reporter:

"So in all, Dr. Ho was accused of eight counts. There were five counts of violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act including one count of conspiring to violate that. And three counts of money laundering including one count of conspiring to money launder. The jury convicted him of seven of eight cou... [truncated]
