Tehran, Iran - 17 June 2025

1. Various of cars at gas station getting fuel

2. Various of empty streets of Tehran

STORYLINE:

Downtown Tehran appeared to start emptying out early on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump ominously called for the immediate evacuation of the Iranian capital.

Long lines could be seen at gas stations, and traffic stood bumper to bumper on roads heading out of the city.

Many appeared to be heading to the Caspian Sea area, with local reports suggesting there were some diversions.

Many shops in the capital and the ancient Grand Bazaar stood closed.

Israel's air campaign on the Iranian capital appeared to broaden on the fourth day of an intensifying conflict

The city is home to some 10 million people. That’s roughly the same population for the entirety of Israel.

STORYLINE:

Hong Kong leader John Lee told a weekly press briefing on Tuesday that a Taiwan-developed mobile app “Reversed Front: Bonfire” was released under the guise of a game with the aim of promoting secessionist agendas of Taiwan's and Hong Kong's independence.

The game application was developed by ESC Taiwan. According to the application’s introduction, players can assume the role of Hong Kong, Tibet, Uyghur, Taiwan or Cathaysian Rebel factions, among others, to overthrow the communist regime. They may also choose to lead the communists to defeat all enemies.

The app could no longer be found on Apple’s App Store. The game publisher last month said Google Play had taken the app down because it did not prohibit users from adopting hateful language in naming.

STORYLINE:

On the outskirts of Copenhagen, this round, tall wooden building is the latest addition to the Danish capital’s skyline - a “Tiny Church”.

Situated in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn - “North Harbour” - district, it’s responding to a spiritual need that’s arisen.

The Danish capital’s population is expected to grow by 20 percent over the next decade.

This former fishing port is seeing an influx of new housing projects, bringing with them an estimated 40,000 new residents over the next four decades.

As plans for a new church building sat on the drawing board, members of the local Evangelical-Lutheran Hans Egedes Church parish knew they needed a solution… and fast.

"At the old days, you build a church, and the church will make a community, and then you build the city. Today, it's the opposite,” explains project manager Johanne Dal-Lewkovitch, standing amid busy construction workers.

“You build the city, and then there's a need for a church. So, it's a little bit strange."

The “Tiny Church” concept was first seen in Amsterdam suburb Almere Poort, where Dutch church leaders saw the need for a new location where believers could meet, talk and worship together.

RESTRICTION SUMMARY: MUST CREDIT CEDRIC HOHNSTADT

ASSOCIATED PRESS - MUST CREDIT CEDRIC HOHNSTADT

Saint Paul, Minnesota - 16 June 2025

1. Various STILLS, courtroom sketches, Vance Boelter, who is charged with killing one Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another, is seen at a federal court hearing Monday

2. STILL, close courtroom sketch of the judge

STORYLINE:

The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another faces murder charges after police arrested him Sunday near his home following a nearly two-day search.

Vance Boelter is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs.

Authorities say he also shot and wounded Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, at their home in a nearby neighborhood. They also said he visited the homes of two other state legislators but did not encounter them, and officials in other states reported Monday that they were on his list of targets.

Federal authorities were holding the 57-year-old Boelter without bail after his first appearance Monday in federal court on murder and stalking charges. He also faces state murder charges.

Minnesota does not have the death penalty. Federal law allows it to be imposed, but acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said during a news conference Monday that it's too early to say whether his office with seek the death penalty.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said during a news conference that she plans to file first-degree murder charges against Boelter. First-degree murder covers premeditated killings, and the punishment for a conviction is life in prison without parole.

Thompson said Boelter planned his attacks carefully, researching intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance of their homes. Authorities have not given a motive for the shootings.

Boelter went to four Democratic lawmakers' homes in the northern Minneapolis suburbs in about 90 minutes early Saturday, starting with Hoffman's and ending with Hortman's, according to authorities.

In between, they said, he stopped at the home of a lawmaker they didn't name, but the legislator was not home.

Democratic state Sen. Ann Rest said he parked near her home in New Hope. Authorities said police there had sent an officer to check on Rest, and the officer drove up beside Boelter's black SUV, believing him to be an officer as well. When he wouldn't talk to her, she went on to Rest's house to wait for other officers, and Boelter left to go to Hortman's home, they said.

Rest, 83, has served in the Legislature for 40 years and in the Senate since 2001. She is chair of the Senate tax committee. Although some fellow Democrats wanted to raise taxes this year to help with budget challenges, Rest opposed general tax increases.

Thompson said a list of about 45 names of Minnesota state and federal electe... [truncated]
