STORYLINE:

Tens of thousands of revelers packed the main square in Pamplona, northern Spain, on Sunday to celebrate the traditional “chupinazo” firework blast that marks the start of the San Fermín bull-running festival.

Nearly everyone, including the throngs of foreign tourists who come to the event, was dressed in the traditional garb of white trousers and shirt with red sash and neckerchief.

They sang. They shouted. And they drank alcohol with abandon.

As the rocket that starts the official party was fired off, many doused each other with red or sparkling wine.

The highlight of the controversial nine-day festival is the early morning “encierros,” or bull runs, starting on Monday, when thousands of brave or foolhardy souls sprint to avoid six bulls charging along a winding cobblestoned route to the city’s bullring.

While gorings are not rare, many more people suffer contusions from falls as spectators watch from balconies and wooden barricades set up along the course. The spectacle is televised nationally.

The rest of each day is for eating, drinking, dancing and cultural entertainment, including bull fights where the animals that run in the morning are slain by professional matadors each afternoon.

The festival was made internationally famous by Ernest Hemingway ’s classic 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises” about American bohemians wasting away in Europe.

We were only blessed because we had the right people in the right place.”

9. Various of rescue workers

STORYLINE:

The grueling, desperate search for missing girls stretched into a third day on Sunday after raging floodwaters surged into a summer camp as rescuers maneuvered through challenging terrain, while Texans were asked to pray that any survivors would be found.

Authorities still have not said how many people were missing beyond the children from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County where most of the dead were recovered.

At the Mo-Ranch Camp in the community of Hunt, officials had been monitoring the weather and opted to move several hundred campers and attendees at a church youth conference to higher ground.

Lisa Winters, an official at Mo-Ranch, said workers did not receive any warnings from local officials on the threat of a flood but had staff monitoring through weather apps and listening to local first responders.

STORYLINE:

Tens of thousands of pilgrims arrived in the Iraqi city of Karbala on Sunday to mark Ashoura, the holy day on which Shiite Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.

The annual pilgrimage is one of the largest religious events in the Shiite world.

Ashoura holds deep religious and historical significance for Shiites, marking the 680 AD Battle of Karbala, in which Imam Hussein, along with his family and companions, was killed after he refused to pledge allegiance to the Umayyad caliphate, cementing the schism between Sunni and Shiite Islam.

For Shiites, the commemoration has come to symbolize resistance against tyranny and injustice.

The streets of Karbala were carpeted in red and lined with stations offering food and water to the pilgrims, who came from Iraq’s provinces and from abroad, including large numbers from Iran, the Gulf states, Lebanon and Pakistan.

Black-clad men, women, and children gathered around the shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas, performing traditional mourning rituals including chest-beating, elegies, and lamentations.

STORYLINE:

A concert by Marko Perkovic, the right-wing singer notorious for his perceived sympathy for Croatia 's World War II pro-Nazi puppet regime, gathered tens of thousands of fans to Zagreb on Saturday.

As he came out to the stage, Perkovic, whose stage name is Thompson after a U.S.-made machine gun, told the crowd that “with this concert we will show our unity.”

He urged the rest of Europe to “return to its tradition and Christian roots.”

Some 450,000 were expected to be in attendance at the Hippodrome, the biggest concert in Croatia’s history, according to the police, viewed as a major security challenge. No major incidents were reported.

Perkovic has been banned from performing in some European cities over frequent pro-Nazi displays at his gigs, but he remains hugely popular in Croatia, frequently attending rallies and sports events.

Organizers said any display of any hate-fueling insignia was strictly banned at Saturday's concert.

Some fans were seen wrapped in Croatian flags while others wore black Thompson-inscribed T-shirts.

Authorities deployed thousands of police officers and set up a special control center and a field hospital.

The state-owned HRT television said snipers were guarding the venue and helicopters were flying above as visitors streamed in.

Some fans told The Associated Press they expected good fun and were happy to be at such an event gathering so many Croats in one place.

The 41-year-old Nxusani-Mawela is an international beer judge and taster, and is believed to be the first Black woman in South Africa to own a craft brewery, a breakthrough in a world largely dominated by men and big corporations.

Her desire is to open South Africa's multibillion-dollar beer-brewing industry to more Black people and more women.

At her microbrewery in Johannesburg, she's teaching 13 young Black graduates — most of them women — the art of beer making.

STORYLINE:

Rescuers were scouring a devastated central Texas landscape of mangled trees, overturned cars and muck-filled debris on Sunday in an increasingly bleak mission to locate survivors, including 27 girls who have not been seen since their camp was slammed with a wall of water in a historic flash flood.

The flooding in Kerr County killed at least 43 people, including 15 children, and at least eight people died in nearby counties.

Authorities still have not said how many people were missing beyond the children from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along a river in Kerr County where most of the dead were recovered.

The destructive, fast-moving waters rose 26 feet (8 meters) on the Guadalupe River in just 45 minutes before daybreak Friday, washing away homes and vehicles.

The danger was not over as rains continued pounding communities outside San Antonio on Saturday and flash flood warnings and watches remained in effect.

Authorities were coming under scrutiny over whether the camps and residents in places long vulnerable to flooding received proper warning and whether enough preparations were made.

STORYLINE:

Shiite muslims across Iran took part in Ashoura mourning rituals two weeks after a war with Israel ended.

In the capital Tehran mourners took to the streets and marked Ashoura with elegies, beating on their chests and self-flagellating with chains.

Ashoura is the holy day on which Shiite Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.

Ashoura holds deep religious and historical significance for Shiites, marking the 680 AD Battle of Karbala, in which Imam Hussein, along with his family and companions, was killed after he refused to pledge allegiance to the Umayyad caliphate, cementing the schism between Sunni and Shiite Islam.

For Shiites, the commemoration has come to symbolize resistance against tyranny and injustice.

The event on Sunday comes in the wake of unprecedented regional escalation, following the recent Israel-Iran war, as well as other dramatic developments including the fall of Syria’s former president Bashar Assad -- an ally of Iran -- in December and the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, longtime leader of the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah.
