STORYLINE:

One day before the kickoff concert for World Pride 2025 in the nation's capital, headlining performer Shakira has abruptly cancelled due to equipment difficulties.

“We are deeply disappointed that unforeseen circumstances have forced the cancellation” of the concert, the Capital Pride Alliance, the main World Pride organizer, said in a Friday statement. “Updates about the relocated Opening Ceremony program will be released as soon as they are finalized!”

The multi-platinum singer had been scheduled to headline the opening celebrations Saturday night at Nationals Park. The reasons are apparently an extension of equipment issues related to her Thursday night concert in Boston's Fenway Park, which was also cancelled hours before it was set to begin. A Friday night concert at Fenway for country star Jason Aldean was also cancelled.

“Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira’s full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park,” the Capital Pride Alliance statement said. “Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned.”

The Alliance noted that the full slate of citywide events was still on for opening weekend, and said the kickoff ceremony would be relocated and reorganized.

The cancellation presents a further challenge for the Alliance, but at least a non-political one. Organizers have already said they expected international attendance to measurably suffer as a result of concern and anger in the LGBTQ+ community over President Donald Trump's policies.

Trump’s public antipathy for trans protections and drag shows has already prompted two international LGBTQ+ organizations, Eagle Canada and the African Human Rights Coalition, to issue warnings against traveling to the U.S. at all. The primary concern is that trans or non-binary individuals would face trouble entering the country if passport control officers enforce the administration’s strict binary view of gender status.

Some potential international participants have already announced plans to skip this year’s events, either out of fear of harassment or as a boycott against Trump’s policies. But others have called for a domestic mobilization to flood the capital.

Capital Pride Alliance Executive Director Ryan Bos said that security fencing would be installed surrounding the final two-day concert and rally on a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Early hotel reservation numbers for the final World Pride weekend, June 6-8, were originally down from the previous year, according to Destination D.C., which tracks reservations.

But Destination D.C. President Elliott Ferguson told reporters on Thursday that, “what we’re seeing now is a surge at the last minute, especially with the national community.”

Ferguson speculated that concerns about international attendance had “galvanized the local community, the national community to want to come to the city.”

STORYLINE:

Philadelphia officials kicked off Philadelphia’s Pride Month with the pride flag raising ceremony at City Hall. This June, the city will host series of events to reflect the achievements and struggles the LGBTQ+ community has gone through.

Calli Smith and Sarah Curk were among dozens of attendees at the ceremony on Friday. The couple moved from Florida to Philadelphia, where they feel that LGBTQ community members are more welcome.

They said this year, amid the hostility from President Donald Trump towards LGBTQ+ people, it is more important than ever to take part in the Pride Month activities to show support for each other.

Pride Month, a global celebration of LGBTQ+ people, is starting this weekend in many places with mixtures of marches, protests and festivities. Some will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed same-sex marriage nationally.

STORYLINE:

Images of an enigmatic new work by elusive street artist Banksy set off debate about its meaning — and a hunt for its location that ended Friday in the south of France.

It started with photos on the artist’s Instagram site showing a stenciled lighthouse on a wall and the words “I want to be what you saw in me.”

The stenciled lighthouse gives the illusion of being the shadow of a bollard standing near the wall.

A photo posted Thursday on Instagram, where Banksy usually posts new works, shows a couple walking two dogs past the artwork.

Banksy, who has left his mark on buildings from London to Los Angeles to Ukraine to the West Bank, did not disclose the work’s location.

After online speculation suggested it could be in Marseille, southern France, The Associated Press tracked it down in a street near the city's port.

Some speculated the quote could be inspired by “Softly,” a song by Tennessee-based country band Lonestar, which features the lyric: “I want to be what you see in me. I want to love you the way that you love me.”

Banksy, who has never confirmed his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world’s best-known artists.

His mischievous and often satirical images include two male police officers kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words, “Laugh now, but one day I’ll be in charge.”

His work has sold for millions of dollars at auction, and past murals on outdoor sites have often been stolen or removed by building owners soon after going up.

In December 2023, after Banksy stenciled military drones on a stop sign in south London, a man was photographed taking down the sign with bolt cutters.

Police later arrested two men on suspicion of theft and criminal damage.

In March 2024, an environmentally themed work on a wall beside a tree in north London was splashed with paint, covered with plastic sheeting and fenced off within days of being created.

6. Vehicle crossing flooded road

7. Mid of busy road in Mokwa

8. Various of flood damage

STORYLINE:

Torrents of predawn rain unleashed flooding that killed at least 111 people in a market town where northern Nigerian farmers sell their wares to traders from the south, officials said Friday as they predicted that the death toll would grow.

The Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency did not immediately say how much rain fell after midnight Thursday in the town of Mokwa, which sits in the state of Niger more than 180 miles (300 kilometers) west of Abuja, capital of Africa's most populous nation.

Communities in northern Nigeria have been experiencing prolonged dry spells worsened by climate change and excessive rainfall that leads to severe flooding during the brief wet season.

In videos and photos on social media, floodwaters covered neighborhoods and homes were submerged, with their roofs barely visible above the brown currents. Waist-deep in water, residents tried to salvage what they could, or rescue others.

Mokwa, nearly 380 kilometers (236 miles) west of Abuja, is a major meeting point where traders from the south buy beans, onions and other food from farmers in the north.

A community leader from the Mokwa local government Area, Alhaji Aliki Musa, says this type of flood is seasonal and its not ordinary.

“The water is like spiritual water which used to come but it’s seasonal…there’s not much water in Mokwa that will bring that flood,” he said.

In September, torrential rains and a dam collapse in the northeastern city of Maiduguri caused severe flooding that left at least 30 people dead and displaced millions, worsening the humanitarian crisis caused by the Boko Haram, a self-proclaimed jihadist militant group based in northeastern Nigeria.

7. Motorcyclists protesting in the streets of Lima

STORYLINE:

A motorcyclist group rode through the streets of Lima on Friday, protesting against new measures requiring many to wear high vis jackets with their license plates displayed on their back. The group has already submitted a lawsuit against the new decree saying that it is unconstitutional.

They say they do not wish to be seen as criminals.

The government has brought in the new rules due to a rise in violence, thefts and assaults with the perpetrators using motorbikes.

Peruvian motorcyclist Paul Tejada said, ‘They are marking us as if we were cattle, as if we were criminals. They are assuming that all motorcyclists are criminals simply because they ride motorcycles, but a criminal can ride a motorcycle, ride a bicycle, walk or drive a car. Being a motorcyclist does not make you a criminal.’

Motorcyclists who do not comply with the new regulation are subject to a fine.

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

After their bodies were dismembered over a century ago and their skulls sent to Germany in racially-biased phrenology research, the remains of 19 African Americans have been returned to New Orleans for a proper send off.

Sometime in the 1880's New Orleans physician Dr. Henry D. Schmidt sent 19 crania to Leipzig, Germany for research.

The research believed skull shape could determine personality traits.

In 2023, researchers with University of Leipzig began organizing the return of 19 skulls.

"It is a demonstration of our own morality here in New Orleans and in Leipzig with the professors there who wanted to do something to restore the dignity of these people," historian Eva Baham said.

Baham, who led a team of researchers, believe these 19 people died of natural causes.

A jazz funeral is planned for Saturday May 31st at 9:30 A.M.

15. Various of the exterior of The Irvine Works steel processing plant

STORYLINE:

Steel workers, community members, and supporters gathered for President Trump's rally at US Steel Corporation in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania on Friday to celebrate a details-to-come deal for Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel.

In attendance were Mark and Patty Wright who are parents to steel workers.

"He says they're keeping it here. Well as you can see we're Steelers. Got to keep it in Pittsburgh, that's where it started, it's what it's all about. He said we will basically still be running it. I mean they're not going to get complete control to where they can do anything to us nationally," said Mark Wright.

Patty added her concerns over local steel jobs. "Or anything to their jobs here, hopefully," she said.

Trump says this will keep the iconic American steelmaker under U.S.-control.

Trump initially vowed to block the Japanese steelmaker’s bid to buy Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, he changed course and announced an agreement last week for what he described as “partial ownership” by Nippon.
