++BLACK FRAMES++

2. SOUNDBITE (French) Bruno Retailleau, French Interior Minister:

"A few figures to show you how stringent our security response was: Firstly, there were 563 arrests, 307 in police custody. We saw, inside a shop, that 30 individuals were arrested inside this shop that sells sport shoes. Others were arrested too as they were out on the street after taking a number of pairs of shoes."

3. Retailleau and top police officials

4. SOUNDBITE (French) Bruno Retailleau, French Interior Minister:

"I am angry today, like many French people who are not getting used to it, just as I am not getting used to this outbreak of violence. We can no longer have major sporting events without, despite everything, a massive mobilization of security forces, which raises questions. I think that France, as I call it, France of honest people, are not getting used to it either. It's unbearable. When parents panic because their child has gone out to celebrate a major sports victory, that's unbearable."

5. Retailleau chatting with officials ahead of news conference

6. SOUNDBITE (French) Bruno Retailleau, French Interior Minister:

"Last night, they (security forces) were put to the test. They showed admirable courage. I really want to commend them in conditions that were exceedingly violent, very, very difficult. They paid the price since, as I speak to you, there are about 30 gendarmes and police officers who were injured, sometimes seriously, I believe."

8. Retailleau talking with official after news conference

STORYLINE:

France's interior minister on Sunday said he was "angry" at the display of what he described as "extreme violence" across the country in the wake of the historic victory by the Paris Saint-Germain soccer team in the Champions League final.

At least 563 people were arrested overnight, some as they were looting a sports shop along the Champs Elysées, said Bruno Retailleau.

"We can no longer have major sporting events without... a massive mobilization of security forces, which raises questions," Retailleau added.

The violence marred a night of exuberance after PSG clinched its first - and long-awaited - League title, in a 5-0 win over Inter Milan.

The triumphant team denounced the violence, saying the title “should be a moment of collective joy.”

STORYLINE:

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists set sail on Sunday afternoon for Gaza on a ship aimed at “breaking Israel’s siege” of the devastated territory, organizers said.

The sailing boat Madleen – operated by activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition — departed from the Sicilian port of Catania, in southern Italy.

It will try to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip in an effort to bring in some aid and raise “international awareness” over the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the activists said at a press conference on Sunday, ahead of departure.

The group expects to take seven days to get to their destination, if they are not stopped.

Thunberg, who has become a world-known climate activist after organizing massive teen protests in her native Sweden, was already due to board a previous Flotilla ship last month.

The previous attempt to reach Gaza by sea, organized in early May, failed after another of the group’s vessels, the “Conscience”, was attacked by two alleged drones while sailing in international waters off Malta coasts.

The group blamed Israel for the attack, which damaged the front section of the ship, in the latest confrontation over efforts to send assistance to the Palestinian territory devastated by nearly 19 months of war.

Israel has cut off Gaza from all imports, including food and medicine, since the beginning of March, leading to what is believed to be the worst humanitarian crisis in the war with Hamas, the Palestinian militant group.

The Israeli government says the blockade is an attempt to pressure Hamas to release hostages it took during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the conflict.

Hamas-led militants assaulted southern Israel that day, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251.

In response, Israel launched an offensive that has killed over 52,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between fighters and civilians.

Israel’s bombardment and ground operations have destroyed vast areas of the territory and left most of its population homeless.

The Flotilla group was the latest of critics to accuse Israel of genocidal acts in its war in Gaza.

Israel vehemently denies the allegations, saying its war is directed at Hamas militants, not Gaza’s civilians.

STORYLINE:

Everything from rusty typewriters to vintage cameras can be found here at anthropologist Aditya Vij's home in New Delhi.

In an age of new technology and innovative products, walking in here is like stepping into a time machine.

Vij is an avid collector of artefacts and over the decades, the self proclaimed "history hunter" has gathered thousands of items that span centuries and documented their relevance and the impact they have had on society. 

Each collectable he has salvaged feels like a victory against time, Vij says, underscoring his belief that maybe one individual's attempts can quietly resist their erasure from people’s memory.

“I try to write that unrecorded history through my collections, through the products, and through whatever relevance and impacts it has had on the society. Every product, or any of its aspect that has existed, has played a role,” Vij says.

Over the years, he has collected a wide variety of items.

His obsession began at the age of eight when he started collecting matchboxes.

Today, 51-year-old Vij can count more than 22,000 matchboxes in his collection.

A few of them are over a century old.

Through the preservation of such items, Vij hopes to educate future generations.

He aspires to create a physical space where youngsters can learn about innovations from the past.

“My hope is that I can actually create a proper, bigger sized museum where I can actually cater to schools," he says.

Khan Younis, Gaza Strip - 1 June 2025

1. Various of smoke rising over Khan Younis skyline

STORYLINE:

Large plumes of black smoke could be seen rising above the skyline of the Gaza city of Khan Younis on Sunday, as Israel continued its bombardment of the enclave.

At least 31 people were killed and scores were wounded on Sunday as they were on their way to receive food in the Gaza Strip, according to health officials and multiple witnesses.

The witnesses said Israeli forces fired on crowds around a kilometer (1,000 yards) away from an aid site run by an Israeli-backed foundation.

The army released a brief statement saying it was “currently unaware of injuries caused by (Israeli military) fire within the Humanitarian Aid distribution site. The matter is still under review.”

The foundation said in a statement that it delivered aid “without incident" early on Sunday and has denied previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its sites, which are in Israeli military zones where independent access is limited.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 31 people were killed and 170 others were wounded, updating an earlier toll.

The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. They are 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 people, 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 the territory, displaced around 90% of its population and left people almost completely reliant on international aid.

Paris - 1 June 2025

1. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal with US soldiers and others at U.S. embassy in Paris

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsey Graham, Republican Sen. (South Carolina):

"We saw credible evidence of a summer, early fall invasion, a new offensive by (President Vladimir) Putin. He's playing the game at the peace table. He's preparing for more war and I think the (US) Senate is fed up with Putin. The American people see Putin as unreasonable. They see Ukraine is trying. President Trump has made that distinction real. So the Senate and the House of Representatives in the next two weeks will be moving forward with a sanction bill that's bone-crushing."

++WHITE FLASH++

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Blumenthal, Democratic Sen. (Connecticut):

"You know, I'll be very blunt. Putin is playing President Trump. He's taking him for a sucker. He is, in effect, stalling and stonewalling, prolonging the conversation so that he can mount this offensive and take control of more territory on the ground. If I were President Trump, I'd be insulted and offended by this affront personally, as well as to the United States of America. And America should be angry, deeply angry."

++WHITE FLASH++

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Blumenthal, US Senator from Connecticut:

"There are very few causes that will take 41 Republicans and 41 Democrats, put them on record on a single piece of legislation. It doesn't happen these days. The cause of Ukraine is doing it. As we told President Zelenskyy, there is bipartisan strong support because Americans appreciate not just the affront and insult to America from President Putin, but also our national security interests. Putin will keep going if f he's not stopped in Ukraine."

5. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal with US soldiers and others at U.S. embassy in Paris

STORYLINE:

Russian President Vladimir Putin is stalling at the peace table while preparing a new military offensive in Ukraine, two senior U.S. senators warned Sunday, arguing that the next two weeks could shape the future of a war that has already smashed cities, displaced millions and redrawn Europe’s security map.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal spoke to The Associated Press in Paris after meeting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and touring neighborhoods shattered by what they called the worst Russian bombardments since the full-scale invasion began.

In Paris for talks with French President Emmanuel Macron — who they say is “100% aligned” with them on the war — the senators warned the window to prevent a renewed assault is closing.

A sweeping U.S. sanctions bill could be the West’s last chance to choke off the Kremlin’s war economy, they said.

"What I learned on this trip was he’s preparing for more war,” Graham said of Putin.

He called the sanctions proposed in legislation “bone-crushing”.

At the heart of their push is a bipartisan sanctions bill, backed by nearly the entire U.S. Senate but still facing uncertain odds in Washington.

It would impose 500% tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian oil, gas, uranium and other exports — targeting nations like China and India that account for roughly 70% of Russia’s energy trade and bankroll much of its war effort.

Peace talks are scheduled to resume Monday in Istanbul.

But Ukrainian officials say Moscow has yet to submit a serious proposal — a delay both senators described as deliberate and dangerous.

“Putin is playing President Trump," Blumenthal said.

Hours earlier, officials at a nearby field hospital run by the Red Cross said that at least 21 people were killed and another 175 were wounded, without saying who opened fire on them.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.

STORYLINE:

An Associated Press photographer captured the moment an Israeli airstrike slammed into a building in Gaza City, showing a rare glimpse of the devastation Israeli air power has had on the Palestinian territory during the conflict with Hamas.

The images show a fireball, a massive cloud of smoke and people running away after Sunday's strike. Israel had warned residents before hitting the building, and there were no reports of casualties. The target of the strike was not known.

Israel has carried out waves of strikes on Gaza since ending a truce in March, killing thousands of Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

The military says it only targets militants and makes every effort to spare civilians, but strikes on homes and tents often come in the middle of the night with no warning.

STORYLINE:

Desperate Palestinians queued in long lines in Gaza City on Sunday at a kitchen providing food.

Carrying empty pots and pans, they lined up, waiting patiently for a ladle of watery soup.

Most had not had a real, nourishing meal in days.

"If they filled (our pot), they (the children) eat. If they don’t, I swear they go to bed hungry. And I don’t have money to buy anything and everything is expensive," said Dina Jendiya, a mother of five.

"My little girl tells me, 'I am craving bread.' But I don’t have 80 shekels or 75 shekels to buy a kilo of flour," she added as her children dart in and out from behind her.

Food prices have skyrocketed in Gaza due to the war, with flour and other essentials selling at five to ten times their normal price.

Inside their tent, Jendiya’s children sit on a worn mat, sipping their soup quietly from their bowls.

“If they ever stop the food distribution, I swear the kids will starve to death,” she said.

Experts have warned that the territory is at risk of famine if more aid is not brought in.

The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251.

They are 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 people, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants.

STORYLINE:

Poalnd's main candidates Karol Nawrocki and Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski cast their votes on Sunday as the country went to the polls in a decisive presidential runoff.

The country's election could set the course for its political future and relations with the European Union.

The contest pits Trzaskowski, a liberal pro-EU figure, against Nawrocki, a conservative historian backed by the right-wing Law and Justice party.

With conservative President Andrzej Duda completing his second and final term, the new president will have significant influence over whether Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s centrist government can fulfill its centrist agenda, given the presidential power to veto laws.

Voting began at 7 a.m. local time and will end at 9 p.m., when an Ipsos exit poll is expected.

The runoff follows a tightly contested first round on May 18, in which Trzaskowski won just over 31% and Nawrocki nearly 30%, eliminating 11 other candidates.

The campaign has highlighted stark ideological divides.

Trzaskowski has promised to restore judicial independence, ease abortion restrictions, and promote constructive ties with European partners.

Nawrocki has positioned himself as a defender of traditional Polish values, skeptical of the EU, and aligned with U.S. conservatives, including President Donald Trump.

Amid rising security fears over Russia’s war in neighboring Ukraine, both candidates support aid to Kyiv, though Nawrocki opposes NATO membership for Ukraine, while Trzaskowski supports it in the future.

Final results are likely to be announced on Monday.

"We saw credible evidence of a summer, early fall invasion, a new offensive by (President Vladimir) Putin. He's playing the game at the peace table. He's preparing for more war and I think the (US) Senate is fed up with Putin. The American people see Putin as unreasonable. They see Ukraine is trying. President Trump has made that distinction real. So the Senate and the House of Representatives in the next two weeks will be moving forward with a sanction bill that's bone-crushing."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Blumenthal, US Senator from Connecticut:

"You know, I'll be very blunt. Putin is playing President Trump. He's taking him for a sucker. He is, in effect, stalling and stonewalling, prolonging the conversation so that he can mount this offensive and take control of more territory on the ground. If I were President Trump, I'd be insulted and offended by this affront personally, as well as to the United States of America. And America should be angry, deeply angry."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Blumenthal, US Senator from Connecticut:

"There are very few causes that will take 41 Republicans and 41 Democrats, put them on record on a single piece of legislation. It doesn't happen these days. The cause of Ukraine is doing it. As we told President Zelenskyy, there is bipartisan strong support because Americans appreciate not just the affront and insult to America from President Putin, but also our national security interests. Putin will keep going if f he's not stopped in Ukraine. And then we will have to put troops on the ground by virtue of our treaty obligations."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsey Graham, US Senator from South Carolina:

"If we throw Ukraine under the bus, if we do not get a good deal regarding Russia-Ukraine - I'm not out to humiliate Russia - but a deal that ensures there will be no third invasion and Ukraine can survive - China will see that as weakness, there goes Taiwan, Iran will be more provocative. So the idea that how this war ends doesn't matter is a huge mistake. Ending this war the right way makes the world safer. If you end it in a way like we did with Afghanistan, you're setting the world on fire."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsey Graham, US Senator from South Carolina:

"I hope the Europeans in the next two weeks will put a new price cap on Russian oil to hurt their economy. I hope in the next two weeks the Europeans will go to the Chinese and the Russians and say, we will not treat you normally economically until you change supporting Putin."

STORYLINE:

Two senior US senators warned on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was stalling on peace while preparing a fresh military offensive against Ukraine.

Speaking in Paris, Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal said the US Congress and European governments had just two weeks to act.

They called for urgent support of a sweeping sanctions bill to sever the economic lifeline fuelling Russia’s war.

The urgency stems from their trip to Kyiv, where they met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and visited neighbourhoods shattered by what they described as the most intense Russian bombardments since the full-scale invasion began.

Peace talks are scheduled to resume Monday in Istanbul.
