2. Various of flowers and notes at church fence

3. People at the church

4. Wall inside the church showing signs of damage from attack

5. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Father Semaan Ayoub, priest:

"What happened was not humane, religious or moral. There's nothing humane about it. It was not normal and we're not used to this. We’ve heard of such attacks, but now we have felt it."

6. Syria's Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, Hind Kabawat, greeting priests

7. Kabawat standing next to priests

8. Various of priests at vigil

9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Father Semaan Ayoub, priest:

10. Various of people inside church for vigil

11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Wasim Boutros, Damascus resident:

"This was an attack on the entire country at the end of the day. It’s not just an attack on the Christian community. It was an attack on Islam, on Christianity, on all the communities of this country, be they Druze, Alawites. Today, we’re all susceptible to situations like this one. God protect us. It was definitely an attack on civil peace and coexistence in this country."

15. Security outside the church

16. Church exterior

17. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Wajiha umm Mohammed, Damascus resident:

"During our holiday, Eid al-Adha, there was a strong security presence at the mosque. So during mass, there also should've been security (at the church), with checks on who goes in and out as well as proper screening. Where were the security forces? This isn’t right, it’s wrong."

18. Various of security outside of the church

STORYLINE:

Syrians held a vigil for the victims of the suicide bomb attack on church near Damascus that killed 25 people.

The attack Sunday on the Mar Elias Greek Orthodox church during a Divine Liturgy in Dweil’a was the first of its kind in Syria in years, and comes as Damascus under its de facto Islamist rule is trying to win the support of minorities.

The Interior Ministry and witnesses said a gunman entered the church and opened fire on the congregation before detonating an explosive vest.

State news agency SANA, citing the Health Ministry, said 63 other people were wounded in the attack.

Some 350 people were praying at the church.

"This was an attack on the entire country at the end of the day. It’s not just an attack on the Christian community. It was an attack on Islam, on Christianity, on all the communities of this country," said Wasim Boutros, a... [truncated]

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

POOL

Washington, DC - 24 June 2025

1. Wide of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee hearing

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Powell, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman:

"Despite elevated uncertainty, the economy is in a solid position. The unemployment rate remains low, and the labor market is at or near maximum employment. Inflation has come down a great deal but has been running somewhat above our 2% longer-run objective. We are attentive to the risks on both sides of our dual mandate."

3. Wide of hearing

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Powell, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman:

"Overall, a wide set of indicators suggests that the conditions in the labor market are broadly in balance and consistent with maximum employment. The labor market is not a source of significant inflationary pressures. The strong labor market conditions in recent years have helped narrow long-standing disparities in employment and earnings across demographic groups. Inflation has eased significantly from its highs in mid-2022, but remains somewhat elevated relative to our 2% longer-run goal."

5. Cutaway of hearing

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Powell, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman:

"Near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up over recent months, as reflected in both market and survey-based measures. Respondents to surveys of consumers, businesses, and professional forecasters point to tariffs as the driving factor. Beyond the next year or so, however, most measures of longer-term expectations remain consistent with our 2-percent inflation goal."

7. Cutaway of hearing

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Powell, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman:

"Policy changes continue to evolve, and their effects on the economy remain uncertain. The effects of tariffs will depend, among other things, on their ultimate level. Expectations of that level, and thus of the related economic effects, reached a peak in April and have since declined. Even so, increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity. The effects on inflation could be short-lived, reflecting a one-time shift in the price level. It's also possible that the inflationary effects could instead be more persistent. Avoiding that would depend on the size of the tariff effects, on how long it takes for them to pass through fully into prices, and ultimately on keeping longer-term inflation expectations well anchored."

9. Wide of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Powell, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman:

"Our obligation is to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one-time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem. As we act to meet that obligation, we will balance our maximum employment and price stability mandates, keeping in mind that without price stability, we cannot achieve the long periods of strong labor market conditions that benefi...

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Hague, Netherlands - 24 June 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Molly Quell, The Associated Press:

“I’m here in the Hague in the Netherlands where world leaders are meeting for a historic NATO Summit. US President Donald Trump seems poised to get his allies to agree to an increase in defense spending. He wants countries to spend 5% of their GDP on defense. The current NATO norm is 2%."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Molly Quell, The Associated Press:

"On the sidelines of the event, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, but will not have a seat at the big table, in what is seen as a diplomatic downgrade.”

6. Mid of Zelenskyy (left) shaking hands with Schoof (right)

STORYLINE:

NATO leaders will gather in the Netherlands on Tuesday for the start of a historic two-day summit that could unite the world’s biggest security organization around a new defense spending pledge or widen divisions among the 32 allies.

The allies are likely to endorse a goal of spending 5% of their gross domestic product on their security, to be able to fulfil the alliance’s plans for defending against outside attack.

Still, Spain has said it cannot, and that the target is "unreasonable."

President Donald Trump has said the U.S. should not have to.

Slovakia said that it reserves the right to decide how to reach the target by NATO's new 2035 deadline.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in The Hague for a series of meetings, despite his absence from a leaders’ meeting aiming to seal the agreement to boost military spending.

He held a joint press conference with the Dutch Prime Minister, Dick Schoof on Tuesday to reiterate Netherland’s support for Ukraine.

2.Various of people at Guindais area

3.Various of tourists from Finland

4.SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Helni Turtaea, 21-year-old tourist from Finland:

“At first I got so frightened when someone hit me, I'm more of an introvert person, for me its difficult to start hitting people but it has been so much fun because I think it kind of unites people when they are hitting strangers.”

5.SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Vasisht, tourist from India:

“Very very nice, this hammering is really excellent.”

(Reporter’s question: is it relaxing?)

“Yeah it is relaxing also, because in the household you get big hammers, here you get soft hammers (laughs with family).”

6. Wide of crowd as Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro is being approached by people and hammers

7. Various of people celebrating by hammering each other in the head with a plastic hammer

STORYLINE:

June is the month when each Portuguese city celebrates its patron saint through huge street parties that attract thousands of people.

In Porto, northern Portugal, Sao João , or Saint John, is celebrated by the unique tradition of using a plastic hammer to hit passersby on the street.

The celebrations date back to pagan times, when rituals included buying leek flowers to bring good fortune.

Today, the tradition is still to use this flower and invite strangers to have a sniff of its intense smell, but since the 1960s when the plastic hammer was introduced by a local businessman, it has stayed to become the most famous symbol of Porto's summer celebration.

This is considered the longest and most special night of the year for local revelers and visitors.

There are fireworks, traditional balloons in the sky and sardines, but the highlight of the night is the freedom to use your plastic hammer on friends and strangers without starting a fight.

Even Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro joined in the festivities, as he was seen enjoying himself in the Fontainhas neighbourhood which overlooks the Douro river with an unique scenic view.

Some people posed for a photographs with Montenegro, but several others just saluted him with their hammers.

''Most of the time you see I can leave and then go to Springs and see maybe to go and look for something then spend hours in the queue only to find out whatever you're looking for is not there. So now with the Collective, it's going to be much easier. I make a call, they look there for spares for me, then they just bring it to me so it's much better.

"This one is that you then bring them much closer, in that the owner is part and parcel of the wealth generation because they benefit from those services. And if you then extend it into the life of a mechanic. All of the mechanics we've spoken to and surveyed, everyone has to go and buy spares. So they are consumers, so we are just flipping it around and saying, OK, here's a vehicle where you can become a beneficiary from your own use and consumption, because in any event, you have to buy spares."

“We're talking about a choke point where you have one third of global seaborne traded every day that passes through the strait. So, in terms of volumes, it's about 15 million barrels per day. So, the reaction would be huge, I think we probably would see prices rise back above $100, probably I would take the initial shock of the Russia-Ukraine war as a comparison. Probably we should reach about $130, $140 per barrel. But then I think it probably would come back down very fast.”

“Closing the Strait of Hormuz would simply be equal to signing a death warrant for themselves, because you'd have, first of all, it would not be very effective. You would have a big spike in prices, but I don't think they would be able to sustain and to keep the strait closed for a long time. You would have military intervention very fast from the U.S., from other powers as well. Iran would lose the support politically from China because China imports 42% of its oil from the Persian Gulf.”

“So, whenever you hear about Iran threatening to close the strait, I think it's mainly done for the domestic audience. They simply want to make the support base that they have in the country aware that they have some leverage around the situation. But they do not want to go, I would say, hardcore on this issue yet.”
