Philadelphia – 24 May 2025

1. Various of Chef Phila Lorn talking to a customer

2. Cut away of ceramic chicken docor

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Phila Lorn, owner of Mawn restaurant:

“Well, at face value, it's called Mawn. Mawn means chicken in Cambodian. So it's a personal restaurant to us. The reason why it's called Mawn is because when my parents were running through the jungles to get away from the shit that was happening in Cambodia, she said that eating salt and rice was every day, was a four-course thing every single day. And if you saw someone eating chicken, it meant that the gunfire ceased because there's chicken to catch. So, chicken represents peacetime in many ways for us.”

4. Various of customers waiting outside the restaurant

5. Various of staff served food to customers inside the restaurant and close up of food

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Lorn, owner of Mawn noodle house:

“I think that overall the timing of when a lot of Cambodian refugees, immigrants came to this country and what they had, they didn't come here with anything a lot of it. So, there was a lot of time where there was not a lot of access to things. There was trauma unlike a lot of other Asian cultures that may have come here over the years or sooner than the 70s and 80s. And, so, I think it's taken this long for the next generation of Cambodian Americans to kind of start their mark and create that, which is kinda now.”

7. Various of Lorn cooking

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Shauna Hailey, Philadelphia resident:

“The food's really great and I love the variety because at the end of the day, like, we're so used to like getting Chinese food or getting Thai. But it's, it's great to have another country of food origin to like, sample that palette and that their plate.”

9. Various of Lorn and diners inside the restaurant

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Suzanne O’Brien, Philadelphia resident:

“Philadelphia had a real surge of Vietnamese restaurants that opened. So, I think there is a basis for understanding some of the flavor profile, but this is unique too, or different. And, so, I think people are excited to learn about it.”

11. Various of Lorn and staff cooking

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Phila Lorn, owner of Mawn restaurant:

“I feel great. We broke the cycle, we broke the mold. I was frustrated that every time I saw anything about Cambodians, it was about the Khmer Rouge or gangs and violence.”

13. Mid of staff cooking

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Phila Lorn, owner of Mawn restaurant:

“If I'm an ambassador of anything is my son, I want him to know that you can do anything you want if you want to do it. You have to want to do it.”

15. Pan of staff serving a noodle dish

STORYLINE:

Chef Phila Lorn did not set out to be an ambassador for all Cambodian food when he and his wife Rachel opened Mawn in his native Philadelphia two years ago.

Mawn — the phonetic spelling of the Khmer word for “chicken” — became more than a noodle shop. It meant representation.

Lorn will be representing his dual cultures — Cambodian and Philly — in June at his first James Beard Awards as a nominee for Best Emerging Chef. In the food world, it's akin to getting nominated for the Academy Awards.

Awards aside, Mawn has been warmly embraced by diners in Philadelphia. Reservations for dinner can be hard to get, and customers frequently queue up before the restaurant opens for lunch without a reservation.

Through food, they are putting the attention back on Cambodian heritage.

"If only he wasn't so far away from Kenya, if he were here and, for example, was president or a minister, he would have fought to keep Kenya peaceful and prosperous."

14. Various of Kihura walking

STORYLINE:

A neighbour and friend of Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o paid tribute to the literary giant on Thursday following his death.

Ngũgĩ, the revered Kenyan man of letters and voice of dissent who in dozens of fiction and nonfiction books traced his country's history from British imperialism to home-ruled tyranny, died on Wednesday aged 87 in Bedford, Georgia.

Whether through novels such as “The Wizard of the Crow” and “Petals of Blood,” memoirs such as “Birth of a Dream Weaver” or the landmark critique “Decolonizing the Mind,” Ngũgĩ embodied the very heights of the artist's calling — as a truth teller and explorer of myth, as a breaker of rules and steward of culture.

He was a perennial candidate for the Nobel literature prize and a long-term artist in exile, imprisoned for a year in the 1970s and harassed for decades after.

Simon Kihura, who was one of his neighbours, eulogized Ngugi as a "very kind man" who loved Kenya.

"We are very saddened... He was a man who loved his fellow Kenyans and loved this country. May God rest his soul in eternal peace," said Kihura.

Ngũgĩ lived in exile for decades and escaped attempted assassination twice following his criticism of President Daniel Moi's administration in the 1970s and 1980s.

Since the 1970s, Ngũgĩ’ mostly lived in exile overseas, emigrating to England and eventually settling in California, where he was a Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Irvine.

Derek Warker, publicist for Ngũgĩ's U.S. publisher The New Press, confirmed the death to The Associated Press.

Further details were not immediately available, though Ngũgĩ had been receiving kidney dialysis treatments.

At his home in Kenya's central town of Limuru, workers were seen trimming fences and clearing bushes in preparation of imminent mourners and visitors alike.

STORYLINE:

Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first woman ever to lead Dior’s women’s collections, announced Thursday she is stepping down as creative director after nine years at the storied French fashion house.

The Italian designer confirmed her departure in an Instagram post, capping a transformative era defined by bold feminist messaging, record sales and industry-defining collections.

Chiuri, 60, leaves behind a legacy that reshaped Dior’s creative direction and broadened its global appeal. Since her arrival in 2016, she steered Dior through a golden era of commercial and cultural success. Revenues reportedly rose by nearly $8 billion from 2017 to 2023 as Chiuri’s vision of empowered femininity resonated with a new generation of clients.

“I am particularly grateful for the work accomplished by my teams and the ateliers. Their talent and expertise allowed me to realize my vision of committed women’s fashion, in close dialogue with several generations of female artists,″ she said in the post. “Together, we have written a remarkable and impactful chapter, of which I am immensely proud.”

The fashion house said Chiuri ″redefined the identity and femininity of the Dior woman, celebrated and reimagined the iconic heritage and savoir-faire.”

LVMH executive Delphine Arnault thanked Chiuri for her “tremendous work,” saying she had “an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior."

Chiuri designed “highly desirable collections (and) has written a key chapter in the history of Christian Dior,″ Arnault added, noting she was the first woman to design the women’s collections.

Chiuri’s debut for Spring 2017 made headlines with “We Should All Be Feminists” T-shirts, declaring a new era for Dior. She brought activism to the runway, collaborating with artists like Judy Chicago and Faith Ringgold. She revived icons such as the Saddle Bag and made space for women’s voices, drawing on Dior’s past while rewriting its aesthetic.

Her shows spanned continents, from Mumbai to Kyoto, each celebrating craft and community. Chiuri’s last collection, Resort 2026, was staged in her native Rome at Villa Torlonia, evoking the spirit of Italian cinema, and accompanied by a film from director Matteo Garrone.

Dior has not yet named a successor, but speculation centers on Jonathan Anderson, who recently took over Dior’s men’s collections.

Chiuri departs as the first woman to helm Dior since its founding in 1947, having rewritten the rules and opened the door for a new chapter at one of fashion’s most influential maisons.

5. Wide of Shoigu getting up and exiting

STORYLINE:

Russia’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu praised on Thursday the work of North Korean soldiers fighting in the Kursk region, saying the two countries have a "full-fledged agreement" which is "not only on paper, but also on the battlefield".

"The way our Korean brothers fight - that's what I call them - someone put it correctly, clearly and succinctly: for our land as if it were their own," Shoigu said.

Speaking during a briefing at the 13th Security Summit in Moscow, Shoigu also responded to reports of Germany lifting the limitation of long-range missiles use for Ukraine.

"I can say that, believe me, we have something to lift too. I won't go on, but we have something to lift in response to their lifting."

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged Wednesday to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any Western-imposed limitations on their use and targets as the Kyiv government fights to repel Russia’s invasion.

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beijing - 29 May 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Mao Ning, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson:

“The U.S.’s unreasonable decision to revoke Chinese students' visas under the pretext of ideology and national security seriously infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students and disrupts normal cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. China firmly opposes this and has lodged a protest with the U.S. Such a politicized and discriminatory action lays bare the U.S. lie that it upholds the so-called freedom and openness and will only further damage its image in the world and national reputation.”

2. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Deng Zhifei, university student:

"I’m concerned that this policy will actually be implemented because it feels like just the beginning. There may be more negative policies to follow. That’s how I feel.”

3. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Zhang Qi, post-doctoral student:

"China will see a reduction in brain drain. Some people may not want to return after studying and living overseas. But with this policy, more people might reconsider going abroad to study and live. This could be a positive change for China’s development. More talented individuals may choose to stay at Tsinghua or Peking University, or with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other top institutions in China, which would benefit the development of domestic science and technology."

4. Various of pedestrians and traffic

STORYLINE:

Chinese university students in Beijing expressed concern over the future of student exchange programs Thursday, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said some Chinese students would have their U.S. visas revoked.

“It’s not a good thing that they are refusing foreign students the opportunity to study in the U.S., because international students represent the cultural exchange between countries,” said 20-year old art student Deng Zhifei.

“I’m concerned that this policy will actually be implemented because it feels like just the beginning. There may be more negative policies to follow,” she added.

A post-doctoral student studying industrial safety, Zhang Qi, was not surprised at the announcement.

The Chinese government said on Thursday that it has “lodged a protest” with the U.S.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a daily news briefing the "unreasonable" decision "disrupts normal cultural and people-to-people exchanges" between the two countries.

The decision has added to the uncertainty for America’s international students, who have faced intensifying scrutiny from President Donald Trump’s administration.

China is the second-largest country of origin for international students in the United States, behind only India.

In the 2023-2024 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up roughly a quarter of all foreign students in the U.S.

On Tuesday, Rubio halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for international students.

“Don’t be fooled by Lai Qing-te’s reckless and provocative shouting now. When the day comes, people like him will be the first to run away. For the PLA, defeating the military elements of the Taiwan independence separatist forces is like shooting fish in a barrel. It is impossible for the leading separatist activists to escape.”

8. Various of reporters

9. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Defense:

“The US blatantly presses ahead with the Golden Dome system and deploys space based weapons. It continuously expands its military build-up and stalks an arms race in outer space. Such acts violate the relevant principles of outer space treaties, heightens the risk of turning outer space into a war zone, and triggers the space arms race. It will shake the international regime of security and arms control. It will once again open the Pandora's Box. This proves again that no country has done more than the US in militarizing space and making it a battlefield. We urge the US side to stop expanding the military buildup in space and take concrete actions to uphold the global strategic stability.”

10. Various of reporters

11. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Defense:

“India and Pakistan are neighbors that cannot move away from each other. We call on both parties to maintain calm and restraint. China is willing to continue our constructive role in achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire and preserving regional peace and stability.”

12. Mid of reporters

13. Wide of press conference

STORYLINE:

China's Defence Ministry on Thursday reiterated its warning to Taiwan over its pursuit of independence.

"We warn the DPP authorities that pursuing Taiwan independence will not end well," Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesman for the ministry, told reporters during a briefing in Beijing.

Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said earlier this week that a war between both parties would have “no winners”, but that Taiwan would continue to strengthen its defence to ward off a Chinese invasion or attempt to annex it by force.

“Don’t be fooled by Lai Qing-te’s reckless and provocative shouting,” Zhang said.

“When the day comes, people like him will be the first to run away.”

Zhang also criticized US President Donald Trump’s plan for a “Golden Dome” to protect America from long-range missiles, saying it was like opening “Pandora’s Box”.

Trump announced the $175 billion concept to put U.S. weapons in space for the first time be “fully operational” by the end of his term in early 2029.

3. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) João de Athaydes, Vice Coordinator of Esecaflor:

“The Esecaflor Project started in 2000 with the goal of understanding how the Amazon rainforest behaves in drought events.”

4. Various of remains of transparent plastic panels that was used to divert rainfall in the study plot.

5. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) João de Athaydes, Vice Coordinator of Esecaflor:

“The project consists of two plots of one acre each. One plot is totally natural, with no human intervention. And the other plot we covered with plastic panels, keeping the vegetation without damaging it, with the goal of reducing the amount of water that reaches the forest.”

6. Close of ants crawling over fallen leaves

7. Close of a spider next to a data collection box

8. Various of a researcher collecting data on a computer

9. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) João de Athaydes, Vice Coordinator of Esecaflor:

“Currently, it is the longest running project in the planet.”

10. Various of sensors on trees

11. Wide of researchers collecting data from sensors in the forest

12. Various of rain falling

13. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) João de Athaydes, Vice Coordinator of Esecaflor:

“The drought has already happened, the forest has already adapted. Now we want to understand what happens next.”

14. Various of researchers collecting data

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Selman, Researcher at the University of Edinburgh:

“We know very little about how drought and climate change influences soil processes.”

16. Various of researchers studying plants leaves

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Selman, Researcher at the University of Edinburgh:

“We know that soil in the tropics store around a third of total carbon stocks and it’s also essential for the cycling of nutrients. So we need to understand more about how future climate change scenarios like drought and more extreme drought events could influence how soils are able to recycle nutrients and store carbon.”

STORYLINE:

A short walk beneath the dense Amazon canopy, the forest abruptly opens up. Fallen logs are rotting, the trees grow sparser and the temperature rises in places sunlight hits the ground. This is what 24 years of severe drought looks like in the world’s largest rainforest.

But this patch of degraded forest, about the size of a soccer field, is a scientific experiment. Launched in 2000 by Brazilian and British scientists, Esecaflor — short for “Effects of Forest Drought” in Portuguese— set out to simulate a future in which the changing climate could deplete the Amazon of rainfall. It is the longest-running project of its kind in the world, and has become a source for dozens of academic articles in fields ranging from meteorology to ecology and physiology.

Next to it, an identical plot was left untouched to serve as a control. In both areas, instruments were attached to trees, both placed on the ground and buried to measure soil moisture, air temperature, tree growth, sap flow and root development, among other data. Two metal towers sit above each plot.

During a visit in April, Athaydes guided AP through the site, which had many researchers.

Understanding how drought can affect the Amazon, an area twice the size of India that crosses into several South American nations, has implications far beyond the region. The rainforest stores a massive amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is the main driver of climate change. According to one study, the Amazon stores the equivalent of two years of global carbon emissions, which mainly come from the burning of coal, oil and gasoline. When trees are cut, or wither and die from drought, they release into the atmosphere the carbon they were storing, which accelerates global warming.
