  • Travel ban may shut door for Afghan family to bring niece to US for better life
    (8 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Irmo, South Carolina - 7 June 2025
    1. Mid of Mohammad Sharafoddin showing a picture of his wife's niece on his phone
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mohammad Sharafoddin, Afghanistan refugee:
    "We applied for my wife's niece like one-and-a-half years ago to bring her here. And right now, like her process maybe it's affected by the new travel ban. Maybe I'm not sure ."
    3. Mid of Mohammad Sharafoddin looking at pictures on his phone
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mohammad Sharafoddin, Afghanistan refugee:
    "She's also affected by the government right now in Afghanistan because it's hard for ladies, for women, especially education for ladies. They stopped school, they stopped university, a lot of affects for women, the new government in Afghanistan."
    5. Mid of Nuriya Sharafoddin looking at pictures on her phone
    6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nuriya Sharafoddin, Afghanistan refugee:
    "I just thinking last week and this week I'm not ready to call her. This is not good news. This is very sad news because she really wants to come. She also needs to support her family."
    7. Mid of Mohammad and Nuriya Sharafoddin looking at photos on phones
    8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Ray, refugee social worker:
    "I will say there's disappointment and yet there's also, I wouldn't say there's surprise, because the country being in the spotlight with the Taliban and it's always been sort of a hot topic of politics of course."
    9. Close of Mohammad Sharafoddin holding his phone and showing artwork by his wife's niece
    10. Mid of Mohammad and Nuriya Sharafoddin posing for photos
    11. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Ray, refugee social worker:
    "Where it hurts the most is that the most vulnerable in Afghanistan cannot have an opportunity to come any longer. And that is primarily because of the women's rights being stripped from them. And then as she said as well, families that have been separated can no longer be reunited. But, we'll have to wait and see how the travel ban and the specifics of it actually play out."
    12. Mid of Mohammad Sharafoddin standing inside home
    STORYLINE:
    Mohammad Sharafoddin, his wife and young son walked at times for 36 hours in a row over mountain passes as they left Afghanistan as refugees to end up less than a decade later talking about their journey on a plush love seat in the family's three-bedroom suburban American home.
    He and his wife dreamed of bringing her niece to the U.S. to share in that bounty. Maybe she could study to become a doctor and then decide her own path.
    But that door slams shut on Monday as America put in a place a travel ban for people from Afghanistan and multiple other countries.
    President Donald Trump signed the ban Wednesday.
    It is similar to one in place during his first administration but covers more countries.
    Along with Afghanistan, travel to the U.S. is banned from Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

  • Colombian senator Miguel Uribe injured in armed attack on campaign event
    (8 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Bogota, Colombia - 14 May 2025
    1. Opposition congressman Miguel Uribe, during sessions in the Colombian Congress
    2. Uribe speaking UPSOUND Miguel Uribe (Spanish) "The only path to peace is security"
    3. Uribe speaking during session
    STORYLINE:
    Colombian senator Miguel Uribe, of the right-wing Democratic Center party, was wounded in an armed attack on Saturday while attending a campaign event in Bogota.
    In a statement, the Colombian government “categorically and forcefully” condemned the attack, calling it an act of violence not only against “the personal integrity of the senator, but also against democracy, freedom of thought, and the legitimate exercise of politics in Colombia.”
    As of now, no official update has been provided regarding the senator’s medical condition.
    Uribe is currently serving as a senator for the Democratic Center.
    He is also the son of a journalist who was kidnapped and killed during the 1980s, one of Colombia’s most violent decades, marked by brutal conflict involving drug cartels.

    8. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Mitsuo Hashimoto, Head Woodcutter:
    "How you leave the ‘tsuru’, or the tension strands of the tree, requires a great deal of precision. Depending on the direction and way they're left, the tree can end up falling in a completely different place and direction. Even subtle adjustments—just a tiny change—can shift the fall by two or three metres. That's the most delicate and nerve-wracking part of the whole process."

    “The top criteria to be considered to part of this group of elite woodcutters (who carry out the felling of sacred timber) is someone who has never caused an accident before. Those who do cause accidents are people who can't engage in a dialogue with nature or with their tools. By looking at the way the branches spread, you can tell which direction the tree wants to fall. There’s no such thing as a perfectly straight tree."

    "Nowadays, we all use chainsaws. They cut quickly and easily, so the work becomes much easier and faster. But the most important fundamentals of tree cutting are still about how you leave the tsuru (tension strands of the tree), how you make the undercut, and the direction you create that undercut in. These delicate interactions—this dialogue with the tree—tend to be forgotten after using machinery."

    STORYLINE:
    Tear gas and smoke filled the air on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles on Saturday as confrontations between immigration authorities and demonstrators extended into a second day and top Trump administration officials vowed to prosecute anyone who interferes with enforcement.
    Border Patrol personnel in riot gear and gas masks stood guard outside an industrial park in the city of Paramount, deploying tear gas as bystanders and protesters gathered on medians and across the street.
    Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers executed search warrants at multiple locations Friday, including outside a clothing warehouse in the fashion district.
    The action came after a judge found probable cause that the employer was using fictitious documents for some of its workers, according to representatives for Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
    A tense scene unfolded outside as a crowd tried to block agents from driving away.
    Advocates for immigrants' rights said there were also migration detentions outside Home Depot stores and a doughnut shop.
    DHS said in a statement that recent ICE operations in Los Angeles resulted in the arrest of 118 immigrants.
    The immigration arrests come as President Donald Trump and his administration push to fulfill promises of mass deportations across the country.

    More than 1,000 people gathered Saturday in a scenic Minneapolis neighborhood for an annual ritual — the sharpening of a gigantic No. 2 pencil.
    The 20-foot-tall (6-meter-tall) pencil was sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree at the home of John and Amy Higgins.
    The beloved tree was damaged in a storm a few years ago when fierce winds twisted the crown off. Neighbors mourned. But the couple saw it not so much as a loss, but as a chance to give the tree new life.
    The sharpening ceremony on their front lawn has evolved into a community spectacle that draws hundreds of people to the leafy neighborhood on Lake of the Isles, complete with music and pageantry.
    Some people dress as pencils or erasers. Two Swiss alphorn players provided part of this year's entertainment.

    STORYLINE:
    An explosion could be seen inside the northern Gaza Strip late Saturday as Israel's military offensive continued, with the enclave's health ministry reporting 95 people had been killed in attacks in the space of 24 hours.
    The Israeli campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the ministry.
    The offensive has destroyed large parts of Hamas-run Gaza and displaced around 90% of its population of roughly 2 million Palestinians.
    Israel said on Saturday its military retrieved the body of a Thai hostage abducted into Gaza during the Hamas-led attack that sparked the war.
