    9. Various of worshippers praying
    10. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Riyad Hamad, from Gaza City:
    "Their religious rituals are not complete. As you can see there is rubble, destruction, death and destruction. My house is gone, my son is gone and everything is gone. There are no rituals left."
    11. Various of worshippers praying near destruction
    STORYLINE:
    Thousands of people in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip marked one of Islam's most important holidays Friday, by holding feast prayers on the edge of destroyed mosques and homes.
    Men and children of different ages held the early morning prayers in the open air to mark Eid al-Adha, or the "Feast of Sacrifice," which is the Islamic holiday that begins on the 10th day of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijja, during the Hajj season in Saudi Arabia.
    The three-day feast began on Friday and for the second year, Muslims in Gaza were not able to leave for Saudi Arabia to perform the pilgrimage.
    Residents in different parts of the strip said the feast this year comes as Palestinians are passing through the worst period in their history.
    "This is the worst feast that the Palestinian people have passed through because of the unjust war," said Kamel Emran, from the southern city of Khan Younis.
    "There is no food, no flour, no shelter, no mosques, no homes, no mattresses... The conditions are very, very harsh."
    The situation has worsened since early March, when Israel blockaded all entrances to the Gaza Strip leaving more than 2 million people deprived of food and water.
    The current blockade has lasted longer than any previous Israeli halt in aid to Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began.
    Over the past two weeks, shootings have erupted nearly daily in the Gaza Strip in the vicinity of new hubs where desperate Palestinians are being directed to collect food.
    Witnesses say nearby Israeli troops have opened fire.

    2. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin:
    “All that happens as part of the special military operation, all that is being done by our military daily, is a response to the actions by the Kyiv regime that has acquired all the traits of a terrorist regime. And as for the overnight strikes in particular, if you attentively read the Russian Defense Ministry statement, it says that it is a response to the terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime."
    ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    STORYLINE:
    Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Friday that the Russian military responds daily to Ukrainian actions.
    Peskov didn't confirm that the overnight strike on Ukraine that killed four people in Kyiv was a response to Sunday’s Ukrainian strikes on Russian air bases but pointed to the statement of the Russian military.
    Russia’s Defense Ministry said that early Friday, “in response to terrorist acts by the Kyiv regime the Russian armed forces launched a massive strike with long-range precision weapons and drones on design bureaus, weapons production and repair facilities, drone factories, military personnel training centers and arms depots of the Ukrainian armed forces.”
    “The goal of the strike has been achieved, all the designated facilities have been hit,” it said.

  • Germany's Merz says Trump administration is open to dialogue and committed to NATO
    (6 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Berlin, Germany - 6 June 2025
    1. Wide of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arriving
    2. Mid of Merz walking to podium
    3. SOUNDBITE (German) Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor:
    "We also need this trust in the transatlantic relationship. Whether we like it or not, we will remain dependent on the United States of America for a long time. However, I told Donald Trump last night that you also need partners in the world, and the Europeans, especially the Germans, are the best-suited partners in the world when it comes to facing common challenges now. This is the difference between authoritarian systems and democracies: authoritarian systems have subordinates, democracies have partners, and we want to be those partners in Europe with America."
    4. Wide of Merz delivering speech on stage
    5. SOUNDBITE (German) Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor:
    "I will return to the USA in this context once more. One can criticize the politics there quite harshly. I will not partake in that, but the results of this policy are that many companies are now questioning whether Europe, and perhaps Germany within Europe, could be a good investment location. We see that scientists from the USA, given the atmosphere at universities, are questioning whether Europe, and perhaps the Federal Republic of Germany within Europe, could be an interesting location for science and research. For all those who want to come to us now, for all those who are here and want to invest, we want to create a different climate in this country."
    6. Mid of Merz delivering speech on stage
    7. SOUNDBITE (German) Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor:
    "This American government is open to discussions, listens, and is willing to accept other opinions. Yesterday, in the meeting at the Oval Office, I expressed a distinctly different position on the topic of Ukraine than the one Trump had taken, and not only was there no objection, but we discussed it in detail again over lunch. I then spoke with some senators on Capitol Hill and said, "Please take a look at how far Russia's armament is going, what they are currently doing there; you obviously have no idea what's happening." In short, you can talk to them, but you must not let yourself be intimidated. I don't have that inclination anyway."
    8. Merz on stage with host
    9. SOUNDBITE (German) Friedrich Merz, German Chancellor:
    "So, I have absolutely no doubt that the American government is committed to NATO, especially now that we've all said we're doing more. We're ensuring that we can also defend ourselves in Europe, and I believe this expectation was not unjustified. We've been the free riders of American security guarantees for years, and we're changing that now."

  • US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrives for D-Day ceremony
    (6 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS

    1. Various officials and others gathered on stage for ceremony
    2. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth walks up to stage, greets one person, stands at attention
    STORYLINE:
    Veterans were gathering Friday on the beaches of Normandy to mark the 81st anniversary of the D-Day landings — a pivotal moment of World War II that eventually led to the collapse of Adolf Hitler's regime.
    Tens of thousands of onlookers are expected to attend the commemorations, which include parachute jumps, remembrance ceremonies, parades, and historical re-enactments.
    U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is there and taking part in the ceremonies on Friday.
    Many will be there to cheer the ever-dwindling number of surviving veterans in their late 90s and older. All will remember the thousands who died.
    The June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France used the largest-ever armada of ships, troops, planes and vehicles to breach Hitler’s defenses in western Europe. A total of 4,414 Allied troops were killed on D-Day itself.
    In the ensuing Battle of Normandy, 73,000 Allied forces were killed and 153,000 wounded. The battle — and especially Allied bombings of French villages and cities — killed around 20,000 French civilians.
    The exact German casualties are unknown, but historians estimate between 4,000 and 9,000 men were killed, wounded or missing during the D-Day invasion alone.

    STORYLINE:
    Under the blazing summer sun, masses of Muslim pilgrims on Friday performed the symbolic stoning of the devil in the desert valley of Mina, marking one of the final rites of the annual pilgrimage and the start of Eid al-Adha celebrations.
    The ritual, in which worshippers throw pebbles at three concrete pillars known as Jamarat, commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim’s rejection of Satan.
    Pilgrims moved through the site in steady streams, braving temperatures that soared above 45 degrees Celsius (113°F) to complete the spiritually significant act.
    "I'm doing the Jamarat," said Subardi Abdulaha, a pilgrim from Indonesia.
    "I throw the stone as a symbol against Satan."
    The stoning came a day after more than 1.8 million pilgrims gathered at Mount Arafat for a day of prayer and reflection — the spiritual peak of the five-day pilgrimage.
    On Friday, the faithful returned to Mina to continue the rituals that bring the Hajj to a close.
    Many were seen praying in large groups, resting in shaded areas, or sitting quietly on the ground after completing the stoning.
    After the ritual, pilgrims shaved their heads or trimmed their hair, and those able to do so performed animal sacrifices — another key tradition ... [truncated]

    Eid al-Adha, which coincides with the final rites of the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia, also commemorates the test of faith of the Prophet Ibrahim — Abraham in the Bible — and his willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of submission to God.

  • Muslims in Indonesia celebrate Eid al-Adha with prayers

    "Idul Adha is a sacrifice that teaches us about sincerity and acceptance, where we learn to surrender whatever we have in this world because everything is not ours but belongs to Allah, the Almighty."
    5. Various of people standing and leaving at end of prayers
    STORYLINE:
    In Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, Muslim worshippers prayed shoulder-to-shoulder in the streets and the Istiqlal Grand Mosque was filled for morning prayers Friday.
    Eid al-Adha, known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” coincides with the final rites of the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
    It’s a joyous occasion, and food is a hallmark with devout Muslims buying and slaughtering animals and sharing two-thirds of the meat with the poor.
    The government has made next Monday an additional holiday after Friday’s festival to allow people more time with their families.
    Eid momentum is expected to support economic growth in Indonesia, where household consumption helps drive GDP. It contributed over 50% to the economy last year, though analysts expect more subdued consumer spending in 2025.
