  • Protest in Argentina calls on Javier Milei's government to pass a disability rights bill
    (5 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Buenos Aires, Argentina - 4 June 2025
    1. Various of protesters demanding changes to the Argentine government's social welfare policy demonstrating with banners outside Argentina's National Congress building
    2. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Graciela Portos, teacher: ++PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 3
    "Today we are here in front of Congress, because people with disabilities are experiencing an emergency. Children who need all these services today are not being covered because all the social security systems have been deregulated. Today, anything goes. Children don't even have a way to get to access services. The institutions have no way to cover all the expenses they have, and we struggle to continue providing the same quality service."
    3. Various of protesters with signs
    4. Aerial shot of Congress building and protesters gathered outside
    STORYLINE:
    Activists and supporters from various movements gathered outside the Argentine Congress building on Wednesday to demand changes to the government's social welfare policy.
    The protest took place as lawmakers discussed a bill introduced by the opposition that aims to declare an emergency in the country's welfare system.
    Supporters argue that austerity measures introduced by President Javier Milei since late 2023 have jeopardized access to essential services such as education, healthcare, and rehabilitation.
    The bill also calls for regular updates to service fees and overdue payments to providers, along with increased funding for treatment centers.
    If approved, the bill would grant easier and expedite access to funds.
    The president has already expressed his intention to veto the bill if it gains enough approval in Congress.
    "Children who need all these services today are not being covered because all the social security systems have been deregulated. Today, anything goes," said Graciela Portos, a teacher at "Centro Utopia," a school for children with disabilities.
    Wednesday's protests in Buenos were first called by pensioners earlier this year, demanding higher pensions after severe cuts introduced by Milei.
    Since then, supporters from all corners have joined them.
    The bill gained momentum after a young activist, who is autistic, became the subject of public criticism from Milei.
    The child's plea for better services, and account of indifference from government officials, drew significant media attention and public sympathy, highlighting perceived flaws in the country's disability support system.
    The proposed legislation is backed by the young activist and several advocacy organizations.

  • Head of UN nuclear watchdog says he believes both US and Iran want to reach an agreement
    (5 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Damascus, Syria - 4 June 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of International Atomic Energy Agency:
    "I think they (U.S. and Iran) both want an agreement, which doesn't mean that it's easy to get but, (as) simple and obvious as this may sound, having two sides that want an agreement is an enormous advantage. In my long diplomatic career I have participated in negotiations where it was not necessarily the case that the sides wanted an agreement. They were coming to the negotiating table because there was no other chance but they were coming to the negotiating table to try to distract, they were coming to the negotiating table in the hope that it would fail. In this case, when I talked to (U.S.) Ambassador (Steve) Witkoff, I sense the disposition of President Trump - as he himself has said - to have an agreement and when I talk to (Iranian) President (Masoud) Pezeshkian as I did last November or (Iranian) Foreign Minister (Abbas) Araghchi, I think they all they also recognise. Don't forget that for Iran to negotiate directly with the United States is a very difficult thing. They have traditionally been very reluctant to engage directly with the United States and unlike in the past, in the past you had other people, it was a bigger table, you had China, you had Russia you had the Europeans, etc. Now it's a one on one. And we will see what happens, but I think it is important this is why we have to support them both."
    ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE ++
    STORYLINE:
    The head of the UN nuclear watchdog says he believes both the US and Iran want to reach an agreement in ongoing negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program.
    The International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, spoke in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in Damascus on Wednesday, where he met with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and other officials.
    Regarding the negotiations between the United States and Iran for a deal over Tehran’s nuclear program, Grossi said he has been in “constant contact” with the parties.
    “I think they both want an agreement, which doesn’t mean that it’s easy to get, but, simple and obvious as this may sound, having two sides that want an agreement is an enormous advantage,” he said.
    “In my long diplomatic career, I have participated in negotiations where it was not necessarily the case that the sides wanted an agreement.”
    While there continue to be major areas of contention between the two sides — particularly over uranium enrichment — Grossi said he is encouraged that they are negotiating directly, and he believes both sides are serious about reaching a deal.
    He also said Syria's new government has agreed to give inspectors from the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog access to suspected former nuclear sites immediately.
    He said al-Sharaa expressed an interest in pursuing nuclear energy for Syria in the future, adding, “Why not?... [truncated]

    Damascus, Syria - 4 June 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of International Atomic Energy Agency:
    “When the previous agreement of the 2015 JCPOA was concluded the then inventory of enriched uranium was shipped out, and it ended up in Russia. I don't know whether a similar model could be applied in this case. The big difference here is that we are talking about 400, more or less 400kgs of 60% uranium. It's a very high level of enrichment. So it is a delicate matter but I think that if that was the issue upon which the agreement depended, I'm sure that there will be more than one country which would be willing to assist in this case.”
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of International Atomic Energy Agency:
    "Well, you know, negotiations are of course a process and there is a give and take. The American side has put forward a concrete proposal, I haven't seen it, it's something that is part of their own singular dialogue, I would say. The Iranians are expressing some misgivings, but they have not replied officially yet. They are evaluating what the United States has proposed and there, not surprisingly, this… the bone of contention continues to be the enrichment, uranium enrichment. Yes. No. If yes, how much? In what form? If no, alternatives, etc. You mentioned this consortium, there are other ideas that are are being floated. The important thing for me is that they don't throw (in) the towel, that the process continues."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of International Atomic Energy Agency:
    Reporter (English): "And from your conversations with both sides, do you feel that both sides are committed to reaching an agreement?"

I think they both want an agreement, which doesn't mean that it's easy to get but, (as) simple and obvious as this may sound, having two sides that want an agreement is an enormous advantage.

    “The bird flu case is from a zoo here in Brasilia, it’s a wild animal, like 168 other cases that have happened in Brazil in the last two years, so there are no restrictions. Twenty one countries fully restricted Brazilian poultry imports. It’s a small percentage. Obviously, there are big buyers in this small percentage: China, Mexico, and the European Union. We are already in negotiations to reduce restrictions. Our strategy is to deal with it as quickly as possible.”

    7. Health inspection officials leaving zoo
    8. Health inspection official placing box inside vehicle
    STORYLINE:
    Brazil on Wednesday confirmed a new case of bird flu had been discovered at a zoo in the country's capital.
    Speaking to reporters Agriculture Minister, Carlos Fávaro, said the case was the 169th reported in wild animals in Brazil over the past two years.
    As there had been no contamination of animals used for commercial purposes, he said no restrictions were being put in place on animal products in the area.
    The case is the third confirmed case of bird flu in Brazil in 2025, following earlier detections at a commercial poultry farm and a zoo in the south of the country.
    Brazil, one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of poultry, confirmed in early May the country’s first bird flu outbreak on a commercial farm in Rio Grande do Sul state.
    The Agriculture Minister also stated that the 28-day observation window will end in 14 days, and the country can regain its disease-free status if there are no cases in commercial farms.

  • Syria's foreign minister hasn't verified reports of rockets fired into Golan Heights

    2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Asaad al-Shibani , Syria's Foreign Minister:
    “We have not verified the accuracy of what has been published, but of course we condemn any strike on Syria, and we hold the international community and the U.N. accountable for not putting pressure on Israel to stick to the 1974 agreement, and we said more than once that we are committed to it and ready to implement it.”
    3. Al-Shibani and Suica at briefing
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Dubravka Suica, EU Commissioner for Mediterranean Affairs:
    "So, we will start talking with Syria, of course once conditions are met, once Syria recovers a little bit and I will try to attract and bring European companies to come here, to invest here, and to open new jobs for young people here.”
    5. Officials walking
    STORYLINE:
    Syria’s Foreign Minister said on Wednesday the country had not verified reports of rockets being fired from Syria into the Israel-controlled Golan Heights but condemned a retaliatory attack by Israel.
    The Israeli army said two rockets were fired from Syria into open areas in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights on Tuesday, marking the first such strike since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad in December
    Syrian state media reported that Israel shelled the western countryside of Syria’s Daraa province after the rocket launch.
    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based war monitor, also reported Israeli airstrikes that caused “violent explosions” around the city of Quneitra and in the Daraa countryside.
    A group calling itself the Mohammed Deif Brigades — named after a Hamas military leader killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza last year — claimed the attack in a post on Telegram.
    The group first surfaced on social media a few days before.
    “We have not verified the accuracy of what has been published, but of course we condemn any strike on Syria," Syrian Foreign Minister, Asaad al-Shibani, said as he spoke alongside Dubravka Suiva, the EU Commissioner for Mediterranean Affairs, during her visit to Damascus on Wednesday.
    Syria’s foreign ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run TV channel that it has “not yet verified the accuracy” of the reports of strikes launched from Syria toward Israel.
    “We affirm that Syria has not and will not pose a threat to any party in the region,” the statement said.
    It condemned the Israeli shelling, which it said had resulted in “significant human and material losses.”
    Dubravka meanwhile, spoke of the importance of the relationship between the EU and Syria and the potential of future investment by European companies in the country.
    “We will start talking with Syria, of course once conditions are met, once Syria recovers a little bit and I will try to attract and bring E... [truncated]

  • Syria agrees to give inspectors immediate access to suspected former nuclear sites, UN watchdog says
    (4 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Damascus, Syria - 4 June 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Mariano Grossi, International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general: ++INCLUDES SHOT CHANGES++
    "I mean this visit has a number of reasons, but one very important (one) is the process that we are trying to initiate, or maybe I should say reinitiate, to try to clarify, to bring total clarity over certain activities that took place in the past that were, in the judgement of the Agency, probably related to nuclear weapons. So that process was interrupted. Now, with the new government, with a government that is committed to opening up to the world, to international cooperation, I felt that this offered us a good possibility to restart this work and to try to bring hopefully a good conclusion in this process. So we are going to be performing some inspection activities, even during my visit. Enriched uranium can be, you know, lying somewhere and could be reused, could be smuggled, could be trafficked. There are many things. I don't have any doubts about the disposition, the commitment of the new government for total transparency. And this is something I want to to highlight because I noted in the president very positive, this position to talk to us and to allow us to carry out the activities we need to do."
    ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    STORYLINE:
    Syria's new government has agreed to give inspectors from the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog access to suspected former nuclear sites immediately, the agency’s head told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
    The International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, spoke in an exclusive interview in Damascus, where he met with President Ahmad al-Sharaa and other officials.
    He also said al-Sharaa expressed an interest in pursuing nuclear energy for Syria in the future, adding, “Why not?”
    The agency’s aim is “to bring total clarity over certain activities that took place in the past that were, in the judgment of the agency, probably related to nuclear weapons,” Grossi said. He described the new government as “committed to opening up to the world, to international cooperation” and said he is hopeful of finishing the inspection process within months.
    An IAEA team in 2024 visited some sites of interest while former President Bashar Assad was still in power. Since the fall of Assad in December, the IAEA has been seeking to restore access to sites associated with Syria's nuclear program.
    Syria under Assad is believed to have operated an extensive clandestine nuclear program, which included an undeclared nuclear reactor built by North Korea in eastern Deir el-Zour province.
    The IAEA described the reactor as being “not configured to produce electricity” — raising the concern that Damascus sought a nuclear weapon there by producing weapons-grade plutonium.
    The reactor site only became public knowledge after Israel, the Mideast’s only nuclear power, launched airstrikes in... [truncated]
