  • Alleged victims of abuse by Catholic group call on pope to aid case in Peru and US
    (29 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Lima, Peru - 29 May 2025
    1. Various of briefing by resident of Catacaos village in land dispute with the Sodalitium Christinae Vitae, and group accusing members of the Sodalitium of sexual abuses
    2. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Fiorella Martínez, resident of Catacaos, widow of a farmer killed during land expropriation:
    "Today, 14 years have passed and there is still no justice for the murder of (my husband) Guadalupe (Zapata). This is why I ask the heaven to give us the justice we demand, and ask to make public the entirety of the (Pope Francis') decree to dissolve the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae."
    3. Photo of Fiorella Martínez with husband Guadalupe Zapata
    4. Poster reding (Spanish): "We demand justice."
    5. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Marcelino Ynga, farmer from Catacaos:
    "On behalf of all my community and all Peruvians, we ask Father Leo to give us an opportunity to meet him to tell him about the pain peasants endured, how we have been abused by this organization linked to the Sodalitium."
    6. Various of briefing
    9. Various of resident of Catacaos village and people accusing of sexual abuses to members of the now dissolved Catholic group Sodalitium Christianae Vitae
    10. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Paola Ugaz, journalist and writer:
    "I think this is important because this story has two popes as protagonists. First, Pope Francis, who at the time sent a message to the Catacaos community members telling them to defend their lands, and in his decision to dissolve the Sodalitium, he also accompanied the victims. And now Robert Prevost, who turned out to be Pope Leo XIV, has the opportunity close this process, meet with them. This is the request they are doing to this Peruvian Pope (Leo XIV), so that the Catholic church and the state finally take responsibility for so much pain caused for over more than 50 years."
    11. Ugaz showing photos displayed during briefing
    12. Various of people accusing the Sodalitum of various crimes
    STORYLINE:
    Groups alleging enduring multiple abuses from the former Catholic organization Sodalitium Christian Vitae, joined efforts on Thursday asking the church to make public it's investigation.
    Speaking in the Peruvian capital Lima, they called on Pope Leo XIV and the Peruvian government to hear their plea and continue a serious investigation of their accusations.
    They are also demanding that the Peruvian government t liaise with the U.S. authorities, as the Sodalitium is also based in Denver.
    These groups already have a history with Pope Leo XIV, who acting as priest and bishop Robert Prevost during his decades in Peru, heard their cases and took them to Pope Francis.
    Francis sided with the victims and along with Prevost, investigated the cases and dissolved the Sodalitium Christian Vitae.
    The groups are now requesting Pope Leo make public the decree to dissolve the Sodalitium.
    The Sodalitium is a lay group that runs schools and spiritual retirement centers in several South American countries, but is also involved in real estate, agriculture and construction companies.
    But the Sodalitium has come under increased scrutiny in recent years after its founder and some of its main leaders were accused of committing sexual abuses against children.
    Peruvian prosecutors have also launched investigations into the Sodalitium’s finances and have accused the group of hiding money in offshore bank accounts.
    In 2023, the Vatican sent a high level commission to Peru to investigate the Sodalitium’s actions.
    The villagers also claimed they have been harassed with dozens of lawsuits.

    STORYLINE:
    Advocates for people with disabilities, including families and service providers, protested against severe government cutbacks that have exacerbated years of underfunding.
    at Argentina's National Congress, blocking nearby streets .
    They said the cutbacks that had exacerbated years of underfunding.
    Their primary demand is the advancement of the Disability Emergency Bill, initially scheduled for debate on Thursday but now postponed until June 4th. This legislation is crucial for addressing the sector's financial crisis, they say.
    A key concern is the urgent need to update the national fee schedule, which determines payments for therapists, transporters, and other professionals assisting people with disabilities in various settings. Many support centers and schools face closure due to current austerity measures.
    Additionally, protesters are pushing for faster audits and pension approvals. The government claims these delays stem from irregularities found in previous administrations.
    This demonstration in Buenos Aires was part of a larger, nationwide movement, with similar protests occurring in major cities across Argentina, including Mendoza, Córdoba, Bariloche, Posadas, Santa Fe, and Paraná.
    Data from Casaie (Argentine Chamber of School Integration Support Services) reveals that disability service fees lagged behind inflation in late 2024 and remained frozen in early 2025. Between January and April of this year, fees saw zero increase despite a cumulative inflation of 11.6%.

  • Pug Paradise: Una pareja sudafricana crea un santuario para cientos de perros
    (29 May 2025)
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Ekurhuleni, Sudáfrica - 22 de enero de 2025
    Un centro de rescate en Sudáfrica ha acogido a más de 2.500 perritos carlinos desde su apertura en 2008, con una demanda muy alta en los últimos años.
    El centro acoge a más de 200 carlinos en dos casas en Johannesburgo y Ciudad del Cabo.
    Cherly Gaw nunca imaginó que pasaría su jubilación trabajando como rescatadora de perritos, viajando por todo el país para recogerlos.
    SOUNDBITE (inglés) Cheryl Gaw, fundadora de Pug Rescue:
    “Algunos llegan en muy mal estado. Hace poco tuvimos uno que tenía muchas heridas de mordeduras y una pierna que tuvimos que amputar”, dijo Gaw. “Somos muy afortunados de tener nuestra propia clínica veterinaria que está registrada con el Consejo Veterinario, eso nos ahorra mucho dinero”.
    Los gastos médicos de los carlinos le cuestan al centro cerca de 38.000 dólares al año.
    Mduduzi Nkonzo lleva 11 años como cuidador principal de Pug Rescue y conoce a los 200 carlinos por su nombre.
    SOUNDBITE (inglés): Mduduzi Nkonzo,
    cuidador de Pug Rescue:
    “La gente no se da cuenta de que ven la belleza de los carlinos y se apresuran a comprar uno y luego no pueden cuidarlo porque las facturas del veterinario son muy elevadas”, dijo este cuidador. “Tienen problemas con los ojos, tienen problemas de espalda, de otitis, así que es bastante difícil. Son animales bonitos, pero son caros de cuidar”.
    El centro de rescate tiene una zona de retiro para carlinos, una zona con perritos más jóvenes, otra de juego, una para los recién rescatados y al menos 27 casitas aisladas y alicatadas, incluidas perreras donde duermen.
    Pug Rescue depende de las donaciones y la recaudación de fondos de sus seguidores en las redes sociales, y de donantes internacionales.

  • Law enforcement stopping cars at checkpoint in search for ex-police chief who escaped prison
    (29 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Calico Rock, Arkansas – 29 May 2025
    1. Various of law enforcement assistance flier for Grant Hardin hanging on window
    2. Various of Arkansas Department of Corrections officers stopping cars at checkpoint near downtown Calico Rock
    3. Sign for North Central Unit Correctional Facility
    4. Various of checkpoint near North Central Unit Correctional Facility
    STORYLINE:
    Arkansas authorities are looking at whether a job in the prison kitchen played a role in the escape of a convicted former police chief known as the “Devil in the Ozarks.”
    Grant Hardin, 56, was housed in a maximum-security wing of the Calico Rock prison from which he escaped on Sunday by donning an outfit designed to look like a law enforcement uniform, Arkansas Department of Corrections spokesperson Rand Champion told The Associated Press on Thursday. But Hardin also held a job in the kitchen of the medium-security facility.
    “His job assignment was in the kitchen, so just looking to see if that played a part in it as well,” Champion said.
    The kitchen is divided into two shifts of workers, with about 25 inmates working each shift, according to a 2021 accreditation report, which involved an extensive review of the prison. In the kitchen, “tools and utensils were stored on shadow boards with proper controls for sign out/in of all tools,” the report states. “A check of the inventory control sheets found them to be accurate and up to date.”
    The kitchen is in one of 16 buildings on over 700 acres of land on the sprawling prison campus. The prison grounds include a garden, two greenhouses, and extensive pastureland where a herd of more than 100 horses is raised and trained by staff and inmates.
    Hardin, the former police chief in the small town of Gateway near the Arkansas-Missouri border, was serving lengthy sentences for murder and rape. He was the subject of the TV documentary “Devil in the Ozarks.”
    A prison expert said corrections officials are likely investigating whether the kitchen job gave Hardin access to other parts of the prison or whether there were tools in the kitchen that could have helped him, including fashioning the makeshift uniform.
    Bryce Peterson, a criminal justice expert at security-based research organization CNA, said prison escapes are usually a combination of motivation and opportunity.
    “You wouldn't immediately think of a kitchen as a source of a bunch of escape tools,” Peterson said. “But these people are really smart and what they're thinking about day in and day out is how they can escape if that's what's what their motivation is.”
    Local, state and federal law enforcement continued their search for Hardin on Thursday, and the FBI announced Thursday it was offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest. Champion said officials remained confident that Hardin was in the north-central Arkansas area.
    Officials have said there are plenty of hideouts in the Ozark Mountains area, from caves to campsites.
    The department late Wednesday said search teams also responded to Faulkner County in the central Arkansas area after receiving a tip.
    Champion did not immediately know how many other inmates were housed in the prison’s maximum-security wing.
    Hardin's assignment to the prison, formally known as the North Central Unit, has drawn questions from legislators in the area and family members of the former chief's victims.
    Hardin received culinary training at some point during his incarceration, said Cheryl Tillman, whose brother James Appleton was shot to death by Hardin in 2017.

  • Harvard grad hopes ‘justice triumphs’ as international students face uncertainty amid Trump tensions
    (29 May 2025)

    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Cambridge, Massachusetts - 29 May 2025
    1. Mid of graduation ceremony
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Brynn Macaulay, Harvard graduate from Oregon:
    "So I'll preface this with saying I'm an American born person, and so I don't think I can fully ever capture the fear that I think people have felt even before this Trump administration. Having said that, it's definitely worse than what I think I perceived. But it's also kind of on brand with the general xenophobia and anti-immigrant and sentiment that I think that was a lot of his running platform."
    3. Cutaway of graduation ceremony
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Brynn Macaulay, Harvard graduate from Oregon:
    "I'm fortunate to walk in circles where the enormous majority of people that I know and love are very much in support of the international community, myself included. The majority of the students with whom I'm closest here and have formed friendships with are also from the international communities. So it feels, I mean on a political level very anti- American to hear things like this from Marco Rubio, from Steve Miller, from Trump himself, but on a personal level, it feels like somebody is attacking people that I love and that I consider to be family."
    5. Wide of students cheering during Harvard University's commencement ceremonies
    6. SOUNDBITE (English) Brynn Macaulay, Harvard graduate from Oregon:
    "I don't think you can divorce Harvard's vocal commitment to our international community and to keeping our students safe from the fact that this is also related to stopping a genocide and divesting from it. I think that those two things are the same."
    7. Mid of students cheering during Harvard University's commencement ceremonies
    8. SOUNDBITE (English) Brynn Macaulay, Harvard graduate from Oregon:
    "My sincere hope is that our system of checks and balances works the way it was intended to and that our international community remains safe and motivated to come here because Harvard and the United States will be significantly poorer if we miss out on the incredible wealth of knowledge and perspectives that our International community brings. So I can't say what will happen in the future, but I sincerely hope that justice triumphs."
    9. Mid of students cheering during Harvard University's commencement ceremonies
    10. SOUNDBITE (English) Elaine Lee, Harvard graduate from Connecticut:
    "I mean here and anywhere in academia and in science in particular just in my area I think it it can't be understated. You know, innovation and creativity, newness of thought really comes from diversity. So it cannot be, you know, isolated to one country or one group or one, you know, homogeneous group of individuals. It really has to be inclusive and that's how we move forward as as humanity so I mean I, I think, it's, it's invaluable."
    11. Various of a flyer on the ground, reading "Crimson Courage"

    Harvard graduates are celebrating commencement at a pivotal time for the Ivy League school. The cap and gown-clad students cheered speakers Wednesday who stressed the importance of maintaining a diverse and international student body while standing up for the truth at a time the esteemed university is under threat by the Trump administration.
    Harvard’s battles with Trump over funding and restrictions on teaching and admissions are just the latest challenge for graduates who began school as world was emerging from the pandemic.
    “On a personal level, it feels like somebody is attacking people that I love and that I consider to be family,” she said.

  • Brazil's life-like doll craze goes viral as online videos spark political reaction

    9. Clients looking at the reborn babies inside the shop through the store window
    10. Reborn baby doll
    STORYLINE:
    Videos featuring emotional moments with reborn dolls — hyperrealistic, hand-crafted baby dolls — have gone viral in Brazil, sparking both fascination and controversy. Influencers stage emotional content, such as birth simulations and strolls in shopping malls, prompting political reactions.
    In Rio de Janeiro, the City Council passed in May a bill honoring reborn doll artisans, pending Mayor Eduardo Paes' signature. Meanwhile, legislators across the country have debated fines for those seeking medical help for dolls, following a viral video allegedly showing a woman taking one to a hospital.
    Lawmakers have even brought the dolls into legislative chambers. On Tuesday, Joao Luiz, a state lawmaker from Amazonas, appeared with a doll at the State House to announce plans to ban reborn dolls from receiving care in the state’s public health system. However, local media reported that health authorities had never recorded any such cases.
    Last week, congresswoman Talíria Petrone criticized the attention her colleagues were giving to the issue. “Can we focus on what really matters? If someone wants to have a doll, let them. I have two real children and they’re more than enough work.”
    Dozens of “reborn mothers” gathered at Villa Lobos Park in Sao Paulo last Saturday for the 10th annual meet-up. Participants say criticism targets attention-seeking influencers, not the broader community.
    Berenice Maria, a nursing assistant and longtime collector, owns eight reborns and says the dolls offer emotional comfort. “I love reborns, despite the hate we see out there,” she said. “I want the right to go out with them… go to the mall, go to the park.”
    Daniela Baccan, co-owner of a reborn doll shop in Campinas, Sao Paulo, said they sell dolls ranging from 700 ($124) to nearly 10,000 ($1,700) reais since 2009.
    With the rising controversy, safety concerns are rising. “We’re locking up the store more, adding cameras,” Baccan said. “But at the same time, online demand has increased, and the store is seeing a much higher flow of people.”

    "It's very beautiful to me that we have this experience because not a lot of people get to see Mississippi for what it really is. A lot of people think we're just corn fields, and we're just dirt roads, but there's so much more to Mississippi than people really get to see."

    STORYLINE:
    Hundreds of people packed inside the Clarksdale Civic Auditorium Thursday to see the hit film set in their community and steeped in Mississippi Delta culture. The special screening of the blockbuster horror film "Sinners" included an appearance by Director Ryan Coogler and was made possible by a community petition.
    "I have family from Mississippi — my uncle, my grandfather — and I had never been until working on this script," Coogler said, addressing the crowd. "It really changed me just to come here."
    "Sinners" composer Ludwig Göransson, actor Miles Canton and others who worked on the film also attended the screening.
    "Anytime that filmmakers take the time out to pay homage to the Delta, especially, because we're the root of music, the blues culture, that means a lot," said Brandice Brown Williams, a theater teacher who brought two of her students to the screening.
    The film is set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, but current day Clarksdale doesn't have a movie theater, making it difficult for people to see the film based in their hometown. Community organizers decided to change that, starting a petition inviting the cast and crew to Clarksdale and asking to collaborate on hosting a public screening.
    "The love you have for Southern folk, Mississippians and Clarksdale came to life through your commitment to writing us right," wrote community organizer Tyler Yarbrough. "We are ready. We are waiting. And we would be proud to welcome you back to where it all began."

  • A man charged in a 2013 Pennsylvania campus sex assault hires a lawyer to review possible plea deal

    STORYLINE:
    An American who was extradited from France this year to face allegations of a 2013 campus sexual assault after the accuser went public with her story hired a private lawyer to review a potential plea deal, lawyers in the case said in court Thursday.
    Ian Cleary, 32, of Saratoga, California, made his first in-person court appearance in Adams County, a half-mile from where the encounter occurred at Gettysburg College.
    A plea had been in the works, according to Assistant Public Defender Joshua Neiderhiser, who has represented Cleary since he was brought back to the U.S. However, after speaking with his parents, Cleary agreed to hire a lawyer to review the case, delaying a possible deal.
    Shannon Keeler, in interviews with The Associated Press, described her decade-long efforts to persuade authorities to pursue charges, starting hours after Cleary, a third-year student, allegedly sneaked into her first-year dorm on the eve of winter break.
    She renewed the quest in 2021, after finding a series of disturbing Facebook messages from his account that said, “So I raped you.” Keeler did not attend Thursday's hearing, but her lawyer, Andrea Levy, said she remains ready to see the case through to the end.
