    10. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Badr Abdelatty, Egypt's Foreign Minister:
    "The region has enough crises and enough security challenges, and what we need most at the present time is an escalation in this file (the Iranian nuclear file), and therefore we completely reject any escalation and any incitement to the military option, and we emphasize once again the importance of a peaceful solution and the importance of not escalating in the region to avoid undesirable consequences and to avoid entering into a prolonged state of chaos from which no one will escape."
    11. Wide of press conference
    12. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, IAEA Director General:
    "When there is a negotiation, when there are proposals on the table that can embody a way forward which avoids conflict in a region that has suffered too much already, the IAEA has a role to play. Not as a negotiator but a facilitator, an enabler and a guarantor of any agreement. In this area of nuclear technology, trust is not enough, trust is one element, verification is the other element which needs to be there."
    13. Mid of press conference
    14. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, IAEA Director General:
    "We know that there is an escalating tension here. On Saturday, I issued a comprehensive report detailing some of the areas where there's a need to get more transparency, but in parallel with that and very importantly, there is negotiation. You mentioned that, (referring to Abdelatty) between the United States and Iran which deserves all our support, this is very important."
    15. Wide of Grossi and Abdelatty leaving the press conference
    STORYLINE:
    Iranian, Egyptian and U.N. leaders met in Cairo on Monday to discuss Iran’s nuclear program after the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said Iran is further increasing its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
    Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the agency compiled its report, seen by The Associated Press over the weekend, because Iranian’s uranium enrichment is an ongoing concern for the IAEA’s board of governors.
    Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Grossi as well as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.
    Grossi stressed the need for negotiation at the joint press conference.
    “We know that there is an escalating tension here. On Saturday, I issued a comprehensive report detailing some of the areas where there's a need to get more transparency, but in parallel with that and very importantly, there is negotiation”.
    The IAEA report said that Iran, as of May 17, had amassed 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%.
    That is an increase of almost 50% since the IAEA’s last report in February.
    The 60% enriched material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
    Iran’s leadership said it believes the IAEA report is politically motivated by Grossi’s hopes of becoming the next U.N. secretary-general.

    "Today, we are witnessing the signing of the first real estate project in the New Delta, the Jirian City project. And this emphasizes what His Excellency, the president (Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi) has called for, the partnership between the state represented by Mostakbal Misr Authority for Sustainable Development and a number of giant real estate companies with great experience in this field and which represent the private sector. Three major companies, Nations of Sky, Palm Hills and Mountain View are collaborating together today to execute this giant project, which God willing will see the light and be completed within only 5 years."
    6. Mid of Madbouly giving his speech
    7. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mostafa Madbouly, Egypt's Prime Minister:
    "As you all have seen, we are talking here about a sustainable, smart and environmental project, which utilizes the (new) branch of the Nile that will serve the New Delta area. So there was a genius idea of making use of this new branch along both of its banks by creating a real estate project on parts of desert lands that were not developed and had no value. So this is once again the maximizing of the use of state assets, how to increase the value of a land that had no value by any means before this project and before the New Delta."
    8. Various of screen showing a brief about the project
    9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mostafa Madbouly, Egypt's Prime Minister:
    "This is a comprehensive developmental vision that does not just depend on agriculture, industry or logistics, but we are also talking comprehensive development that includes a tourism aspect, which is very important and we've talked about that. We are steps away from the Grand Egyptian Museum and the (Giza) pyramids area. And we were always wondering as a state about how we would have the number of hotel rooms that we need in order to meet tourism demands after the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum - as a result of its opening. Today, part of the answer is in this project, which is 10 minutes away from the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids."
    10. Wide of ceremony
    STORYLINE:
    An new real estate project in Greater Cairo is touted by Egyptian authorities as an environmentally-friendly urban area with waterfront views located only minutes away from the ancient pyramids of Giza.
    The upscale project will see apartment buildings and standalone homes built along canals connected to diverted Nile River water to irrigate lands west of Cairo.
    Top representatives of three real estate companies signed an agreement on Sunday to work together on building the residential project called Jirian.
    The signing was attended by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly who said the project was a partnership between the private sector and the Egyptian state.
    Jirian makes use of an ambitious irrigation network Egypt is building to farm desert areas of the country.

  • Iran minister says no nuclear deal will be made unless enrichment in Iran is allowed to continue

    2. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Minister:
    "We will give a proper response (to the US proposal) soon, a response based on the principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian nation's interests and rights. Definitely there will be no deal unless enrichment inside Iran is recognized and is allowed to continue."
    3. Araghchi and Abdelatty
    4.SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Minister:
    "Regarding the snapback mechanism, I hope European countries won't make such a mistake (activating the mechanism). This would be a wrong policy and would only deepen the current crisis."
    5. Araghchi and Abdelatty
    6. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister:
    "I don't imagine Israel would make such a mistake (attacking Iran's nuclear sites), since if it does, the one who would regret it most would be Israel itself."
    7. Araghchi and Abdelatty shaking hands and leaving
    STORYLINE:
    Iran's foreign minister said Monday that his country will reply to the latest U.S. proposal for ongoing discussions with Washington soon, but there will be no agreement unless Iran’s right to uranium enrichment is respected.
    "We will give a proper response (to the US proposal) soon, a response based on the principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian nation's interests and rights," said Abbas Araghchi, Iran's top diplomat, speaking alongside his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.
    Iranian, Egyptian and U.N. leaders met in Cairo on Monday to discuss Iran's nuclear program after the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency in a confidential report said Iran is further increasing its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
    The report emerged amid U.S.-Iran talks aimed at attempting to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting some of the crushing economic sanctions that the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic, which have strained relations for almost 50 years.
    Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, said the agency compiled its report, seen by The Associated Press over the weekend, because Iranian's uranium enrichment is an ongoing concern for the IAEA's board of governors.
    Araghchi met with Grossi as well as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.
    Iran is concerned that the U.S. hasn't provided enough transparency about what Iran can gain from the talks, Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, said on Monday.
    Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, who is mediating in the U.S.-Iran talks, visited Tehran on Saturday to present Washington's latest proposal for ongoing discussions.
    The fifth round of talks between the U.S. and Iran concluded in Rome last week with “some but not conclusive progress,” al-Busaidi said at the time.

  • Mourners grieve after Israeli strike on residential building in Gaza's Jabaliya camp kills 14
    (2 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Gaza City, Gaza Strip - 2 June 2025
    1. Various of women mourning their relatives who were killed in Israeli airstrike
    2. Various of people gathering near bodies lying on the ground
    3. Various of people carrying bodies and placing them into vehicle
    4. Various of woman sitting inside bus near bodies of their killed relatives
    STORYLINE:
    Mourners grieved their loved ones after Israeli strike on residential building in Gaza's Jabaliya camp killed 14 people.
    The killed were mostly women and children, according to health officials.
    The Shifa and al-Ahli hospitals confirmed the toll from the strike in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, saying five women and seven children were among those killed.
    The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
    Israel says it only targets militants and tries to avoid harming civilians.
    It blames civilian deaths on Hamas because the militant group is entrenched in populated areas.
    The Israel-Hamas war began when Palestinian militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251.
    Hamas is still holding 58 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.
    Israel’s military campaign has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants.
    The offensive has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and displaced around 90% of the population.
    Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages in return for more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli pullout.
    Israel has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned, and Hamas is defeated or disarmed and sent into exile.
    It has said it will maintain control of Gaza indefinitely and facilitate what it refers to as the voluntary emigration of much of its population.
    Palestinians and most of the international community have rejected the resettlement plans, viewing them as forcible expulsion.

  • Ukraine defence minister says new prisoner exchange deal made with Russia at Istanbul talks
    (2 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++
    ++QUALITY AS INCOMING++
    ++STARTS AND ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Istanbul, Turkey - 2 June 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rustem Umerov, Ukrainian Defence Minister:
    "Our proposal is an unconditional ceasefire in the air, sea and land, at least for 30 days. This position has remained unchanged for three months, and we consider it the basis for starting a peaceful resolution."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rustem Umerov, Ukrainian Defence Minister:
    "A few days ago we shared our documents with the Russian side. But there has been no communication from them regarding their document until today. Only during the discussion today, Russia handed over its document to our delegation. Our teams will take a week to review the documents and then we can coordinate further steps."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rustem Umerov, Ukrainian Defence Minister:
    "On (the) release of prisoners of war, we agreed to focus on specific categories rather than numbers. We agreed to exchange all for all, seriously wounded and seriously sick prisoners of war. The second category is young soldiers who are from 18 to 25 years old, all for all. Also, we agreed to return 6,000 to 6,000 bodies of fallen soldiers."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rustem Umerov, Ukrainian Defence Minister:
    "We have provided the other side with a list of several hundred Ukrainian children who were deported to Russia. This matter is a fundamental priority for us. If Russia is genuinely committed to the peace process, the return of at least half of the children from this list would be serving as a positive indication."
    ++ENDS++
    STORYLINE:
    Russia and Ukraine have agreed to swap 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action.
    The agreement emerged on Monday at the latest peace talks in Turkey, where the two sides met for just over an hour.
    Both sides also agreed on "all for all’ exchange of seriously wounded and sick soldiers, and young soldiers under the age of 25.
    The talks delivered no major breakthrough in peace efforts.
    U.S.-led efforts to push the two sides into accepting a ceasefire have so far failed.
    Ukraine accepted that step, but the Kremlin effectively rejected it.
    The Ukrainian delegation was led by Defence Minister Rustem Umerov, while Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, headed the Kremlin team.
    "Our proposal is an unconditional ceasefire in the air, sea and land, at least for 30 days. This position has remained unchanged for three months, and we consider it the basis for starting a peaceful resolution,"
    Umerov said after the talks.
    He said that Russia handed over the so-called memorandum only during the talks and it will take one week for Ukrainian delegation to review it and coordinate further steps.
    Umerov said Ukraine had also handed Russia an official list of children it says were forcibly deported and must be returned.
    "If Russia is genuinely committed to the peace process the return of at least half of the children from this list would be serving as a positive indication," he said.
    Expectations were low for any breakthrough on ending the 3-year-old war after a string of stunning attacks over the weekend.
    Kyiv officials said a surprise drone attack on Sunday damaged or destroyed more than 40 warplanes at air bases deep inside Russia, including the remote Arctic, Siberian and Far East regions more than 7,000 kilometers (4,300 miles) from Ukraine.

    ++PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 8++
    "Currently, the Damascus Securities Exchange is unfortunately limited to the financial sector. As you can see, most listed companies belong to the banking and insurance sectors, with only two industrial firms. Our goal as a financial market is to diversify sectors. And, in turn, establish ourselves as an emerging market in the Middle East."

    STORYLINE:
    Trading resumed on the Damascus Securities Exchange Monday after a six-month closure, as Syria's new leaders attempt to shore up the country's battered economy and begin rebuilding after nearly 14 years of civil war.
    The stock exchange had closed during the chaotic days leading up to the ouster of former President Bashar Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.
    Syrian Finance Minister Mohammed Yisr Barnieh, who attended the reopening, said the resumption signals that the country's economy is beginning to recover.
    "We are open to investment — no restrictions, no obstacles. Anyone wishing to invest in Syria is welcome. They will find numerous opportunities, substantial benefits and the chance to build successful stories," he added.
    The move to reopen comes as international restrictions on Syria’s financial systems begin to ease.
    The United States and Europe both last month announced the lifting of a wide raft of sanctions that had been slapped on Syria under the Assad dynasty’s rule.
    Last week, Syria inked a power deal worth $7 billion with a consortium of Qatari, Turkish and U.S. companies for development of a 5,000-megawatt energy project to revitalize much of Syria’s war-battered electricity grid.
    The consortium led by Qatar’s UCC Concession Investments — along with Power International USA and Turkey’s Kalyon GES Enerji Yatirimlari, Cengiz Enerji — will develop four combined-cycle gas turbines with a total generating capacity estimated at approximately 4,000 megawatts and a 1,000-megawatt solar power plant.

  • Mourners grieve after Israeli strike on residential building in Gaza's Jabaliya camp kills 14
    (2 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Gaza City - 2 June 2025
    1. Various of women mourning their relatives who were killed in Israeli airstrike
    2. Various of people gathering near bodies lying on the ground
    3. Various of people carrying bodies and placing them into vehicle
    4. Various of woman sitting inside bus near bodies of their killed relatives
    STORYLINE:
    An Israeli strike on a residential building in the Gaza Strip on Monday killed 14 people, mostly women and children, according to health officials.
    The Shifa and al-Ahli hospitals confirmed the toll from the strike in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, saying five women and seven children were among those killed.
    The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
    Israel says it only targets militants and tries to avoid harming civilians. It blames civilian deaths on Hamas because the militant group is entrenched in populated areas.
    The Israel-Hamas war began when Palestinian militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. Hamas is still holding 58 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.
    Israel’s military campaign has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. The offensive has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and displaced around 90% of the population.
    Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages in return for more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli pullout.
    Israel has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned, and Hamas is defeated or disarmed and sent into exile. It has said it will maintain control of Gaza indefinitely and facilitate what it refers to as the voluntary emigration of much of its population.
    Palestinians and most of the international community have rejected the resettlement plans, viewing them as forcible expulsion.

  • Old Dominion explain meaning behind 'Barbara' album title
    (2 Jun 2025)
    Clients note: This item contains on-screen graphics, including AP branding.
    ++CLIENTS: PLEASE NOTE VIDEO QUALITY AS INCOMING++
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Nashville, Tenn. – 29 May 20251.
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthew Ramsey/lead singer Old Dominion, recording artist – on new album ‘Barbara’:
    “’Barbara’ is the album. People want to know who ‘Barbara’ is, but Barbara's the album. It's not after a certain person. Barbara is really all of us. When we thought about naming an album a person's name, we just wanted to pick something that was a little in our personality: kind of funny, but also has an emotional element to it.”

    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthew Ramsey/lead singer Old Dominion, recording artist – on new album ‘Barbara’:
    “it’s been a project that we kinda started about, I guess maybe a year ago. But as it kind of came together, we just got more and more excited about the direction. It's just, you know, it's a much more eclectic mix of songs, and I just think we just felt so excited in the studio together and we're having so much fun with each other. It was a really cool, creative experience.”
