STORYLINE:

Recyclers in Colombia on Tuesday covered parts of the iconic Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota with plastic bottles, calling for better working conditions and fair payment for their services.

They wanted to send a visual message that without their labor; cities and their landfills would collapse.

Nohra Padilla, President of the National Association of Recyclers, said recyclers were feeling the impact of a drop in their earnings.

"Recyclers work up to 15 hours a day and don't earn even 15,000 pesos or 20,000 pesos (US$5), and with the drop in prices, recyclers are going to receive much less," said Padilla. "It is the families of the recyclers who will suffer the most."

Padilla said workers dig through garbage cans for up to 15 hours to collect between 300 and 500 kilos of recyclable material, then travel up to 10 kilometers to a warehouse to sell the recyclables.

For their workday, each recycler can earn between two and five dollars when they sell the items, she said.

The earnings for their labor do not reach the minimum wage in Colombia of $348 per month.

She said that companies buying the items for recycling set the prices and "lower them as they please."

Protesters covered parts of Plaza de Bolivar with 15 tons of recyclable material, a fraction of the 4,000 tons that are recovered daily in Colombia, according to the recyclers' association.

They are also demanding greater attention from the government and full compliance with Constitutional Court rulings that have recognized recyclers as one of the “oppressed and excluded” groups and have urged the state to implement assistance programs.

STORYLINE:

New York City on Tuesday closed the arrival center for migrants it had established at the Roosevelt Hotel, a once-grand Manhattan hotel that had become an emblem of the city’s fraught efforts to manage the flood of new migrants when it opened two years ago.

The midtown hotel, located blocks from Grand Central Terminal, served as the first stop for tens of thousands of immigrants arriving in the city seeking free shelter and services, with migrant families lining up and sometimes even sleeping on the street outside the hotel waiting for a bed.

Monday was the center’s last full day in operation, and the hotel was vacant as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Mayor Eric Adams’ office. Services provided at the Roosevelt, including registration, legal assistance and medical care, are now being offered to migrants at other shelter locations, the office said.

Adams announced the city was winding down its operation at the Roosevelt and other migrant shelters in February as the surge of immigration from the U.S. southern border with Mexico waned.

The city is currently housing more than 37,000 migrants across 170 sites, down from a peak of nearly 70,000 last January, officials said Tuesday. During the height of the migrant wave, New York saw an average of 4,000 arrivals a week. That's now down to less than 100 new migrants in the week that ended June 22, according to Adams' office.

The number of new migrants has steadily dropped in large part to stricter immigration measures imposed during the end of former President Joe Biden's administration as well as a broader immigration crackdown since President Donald Trump took office in January.

The Adams administration also placed limits on how long migrants could remain in shelters run by the city, which is legally obligated to provide temporary housing to anyone who asks.

More than 237,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York since April 2022, with more than 173,000 of them registered at the Roosevelt, city officials have said.

In recent months, the hotel became a prime target for the Trump administration, which claimed the Roosevelt was a hotbed for gang activity. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, citing those concerns, clawed back $80 million meant to reimburse the city for costs related to housing migrants.

The future of the storied hotel, which the city had leased from its longtime owners, Pakistan’s government-owned airline, remains unclear. Representatives f... [truncated]

We're really bad about gauging how much our bodies can handle. So even if you think you can handle it, even if you're a professional athlete, chances are you might not be able to, and so it's better to kind of take a step back and take it easy."

STORYLINE:

The Netherlands' LGBTQ union organized a protest on Tuesday against the participation of the leaders of the U.S. and Hungary in this week's NATO summit.

Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán's governments have both introduced policies that limit the rights of gay and transgender people.

The Hungarian government has argued its policies to bar the availability of LGBTQ+ content to minors under 18 and effectively ban the popular Budapest Pride event, seek to protect children from what it calls “sexual propaganda.”

Meanwhile, Trump made anti-transgender attacks a central plank of his campaign reelection message as he called on Congress to pass a bill stating there are “only two genders” and pledged to ban hormonal and surgical intervention for transgender minors.

He signed an executive order doing so in January, and has also banned transgender people from serving in the U.S. military.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at The Hague to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community, under the motto “making noise for love.”

Tuesday’s heat came on top of 39 new or tied heat records Monday. But just as dangerous as triple digit heat is the lack of cooling at night, driven by the humidity.

"Humid, that's the worst," Derek Bowman told AP before adding "the humidity is what makes you sweat and feel sticky."

Recyclers in Colombia on Tuesday covered parts of the iconic Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota with plastic bottles, calling for better working conditions and fair payment for their services.

Nohra Padilla, President of the National Association of Recyclers, said recyclers were feeling the impact of a drop in their earnings.

"Recyclers work up to 15 hours a day and don't earn even 15,000 pesos or 20,000 pesos (US$5), and with the drop in prices, recyclers are going to receive much less," said Padilla. "It is the families of the recyclers who will suffer the most."

Padilla said workers dig through garbage cans for up to 15 hours to collect between 300 and 500 kilos of recyclable material, then travel up to 10 kilometers to a warehouse to sell the recyclables.

For their workday, each recycler can earn between two and five dollars when they sell the items, she said.

The earnings for their labor do not reach the minimum wage in Colombia of $348 per month.

She said that companies buying the items for recycling set the prices and "lower them as they please."

Protesters covered parts of Plaza de Bolivar with 15 tons of recyclable material, a fraction of the 4,000 tons that are recovered daily in Colombia, according to the recyclers' association.

They are also demanding greater attention from the government and full compliance with Constitutional Court rulings that have recognized recyclers as one of the “oppressed and excluded” groups and have urged the state to implement assistance programs.

The Hague, Netherlands - 24 June 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General:

(Reporter: What do you think is Trump's motivation to publish a private conversation?)

"I don't know, but I have absolutely no trouble and no problem with that. Because there is nothing in it which has to stay secret."

(Reporter: And what do you say about allegations that you're trying to please Donald Trump and it being too much?)

"But look what is inside my text message to him. When it comes to the 2%, delivering the 2%. Without him, it would never have happened this year, let's be honest. Beginning of this year, seven countries were saying, well, maybe somewhere in 2031, 2032. All these 7-8 countries are now at 2%, and when it comes to the 5%, we have to do this because of the capability targets. We have to keep ourselves safe from the Russians, but the good news is that it's also equalizing what we are spending here in Europe and Canada with what the US is spending."

++WHITE FLASH++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General:

(Reporter: It's a bit humiliating to have to explain this exchange with your allies, isn't it?)

"No, no, absolutely no problem. No, there is nothing in it which had to stay secret.

(Reporter: But shouldn't it be a NATO victory more than a Trump victory?)

"It's both."

(Reporter: But why did you not say both to the president? )

"Well, he knows, but I mean, without him, we would never have reached 2% this year. Never, forget it. And then when it comes to the 5% and the new spending target, of course we have to do it because of keeping ourselves safe here. But do you really think, if Donald Trump would not have been president, that tomorrow he would get to the 5 percent? Are you really thinking that? I am not."

STORYLINE:

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Tuesday defended a message he sent to US President Donald Trump on a messaging app, which Trump then shared on his social network.

In the message published by Trump on his Truth Social network, Rutte is praising Trump for making Europe “pay in a BIG way” on defense.

The U.S. president, while flying aboard Air Force One en route to The Hague, published a screenshot of a private message from Rutte saying: “Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done.”

Rutte's message came as leaders gathered in the Netherlands on Tuesday for a two-day summit. It could unite them around a new defense spending pledge or widen divisions.

Asked by journalists about the publication Rutte appeared unconcerned that Trump aired his message.

“I have absolutely no trouble or problem with that because there’s nothing in it which had to stay secret,” Rutte told reporters.

The allies are expected to endorse a goal of spending 5% of their gross domestic product on their security. The a... [truncated]
