  • AP explains annual march of Israeli ultranationalists through Jerusalem's Old City
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    East Jerusalem - 26 May 2025
    1. Israeli ultranationalists marching with flags, chanting
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Julia Frankel, Associated Press:
    "I'm seated now in the Old City of Jerusalem in the Muslim quarter where, as you can see behind me, thousands of young Israeli ultranationalists are descending on the city for Jerusalem Day. It's an annual march commemorating for them the reunification of Jerusalem when Israel seized East Jerusalem, the West Bank and religious sites holy to Christians, Muslims and Jews, in the 1967 Mideast War."
    3. Various of marchers advancing with police following them
    4. Tilt down from Israeli flag in old city alley to marchers
    5. SOUNDBITE (English) Julia Frankel, Associated Press:
    "Now this is seen by Palestinians as a provocation. I'm in a Palestinian area, as I said, but most of the shops have had to shutter. Police are trying to keep the peace between the few Palestinians that remain in this area and the protesters. I've heard racist slogans chanted - 'Death to Arabs', songs like 'May your village burn'. I'm hearing the protesters banging on the local Palestinian homes. This march today threatens to only inflame tensions in Jerusalem that are already high because of the nearly 600-day war in Gaza."
    6. Marchers carrying banner reading (in Hebrew) "Without the Nakba there is no victory" and singing "Whoever believes is not afraid"
    STORYLINE:
    Groups of Israeli ultranationalists made their way through neighbourhoods of Jerusalem's Old City on Monday, during an annual march marking Israel's conquest of the eastern part of the city.
    Tour buses carrying ultranationalists lined up near entrances to the Old City, bringing hundreds from outside Jerusalem, including settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
    Police, who called the procession the “Dance of Flags,” said they had detained a number of people and “acted swiftly to prevent violence, confrontations and provocations.”
    Palestinian shopkeepers closed early and police lined the alleys ahead of the march that often becomes a rowdy and sometimes violent procession of ultranationalists.
    Police kept a close watch as demonstrators jumped, danced and sang.
    Volunteers from the pro-peace organization Standing Together and the Free Jerusalem collective, which works with Palestinians in Jerusalem, tried to position themselves between the marchers and residents to prevent violence.
    The march commemorates Jerusalem Day, which marks Israel’s capture of east Jerusalem, including the Old City and its holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims, in the 1967 Mideast war.

  • Rio de Janeiro to limit live music on its beaches
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - 25 May 2025
    1. Various of beachgoers gathering on Ipanema beach
    2. Various of people at the kiosk as music plays in the background
    3. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Fábio Tomás, 46-year-old Kiosk owner:
    "The ones being most affected by this (City Hall’s new rules to control beachside activities) are the musicians. They’ve just come out of a pandemic, after already taking a huge hit for two years, were barely starting to recover, and now they’re being hit again, this time affecting our musical culture."
    4. Beachgoers on Ipanema
    5. Photographer Yuri de Lucas at the beach
    6. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Yuri de Lucas, 37-year-old photographer:
    "I'm totally against music on the beach itself, but I do think kiosks can have live music, as long as it's respectful to the residents, the hours, and the noise levels."
    7. Various of street vendors at the beach
    STORYLINE:
    If you have been to Rio de Janeiro’s beaches, this probably sounds familiar: samba music drifting from a nearby kiosk, caipirinha cocktails sold by hawkers, chairs sprawled across the sand.
    Now that may become harder to find, unless the vendors have the right permits.
    Mayor Eduardo Paes issued a decree in mid-May establishing new rules for the city’s waterfront saying he wants to preserve urban order, public safety and the environment, as well as promote peaceful relations between tourists and residents.
    The new measures are due to come into force on June 1, and they outlaw food and drink sales, chair rentals, loudspeakers and even live music in kiosks without official permits.
    Also, beach huts will only be allowed to have a number rather than the often-creative names many are currently known by.
    Some have welcomed the move to tackle what they perceive as chaotic activity on the beach, but others say the decree threatens Rio’s dynamic beach culture and the livelihoods of many musicians and local vendors who may find it difficult or impossible to get permits.
    The move to regulate music on Rio’s beachfronts has particularly struck a nerve.
    "The ones being most affected by this are the musicians. They’ve just come out of a pandemic, after already taking a huge hit for two years, were barely starting to recover, and now they’re being hit again, this time affecting our musical culture,” said the kiosk owner, Fábio Tomás.
    The restrictions on music amounts to “silencing the soul of the waterfront. It compromises the spirit of a democratic, musical, vibrant, and authentic Rio,” Orla Rio, a concessionaire who manages more than 300 kiosks, said in a statement.
    News of the decree seeking to crack down on unregistered hawkers provoked ripples of anger and fear among peddlers.
    “He (Mayor Eduardo Paes) wants to remove all the workers, artists, street vendors, the people who make a living from the beach. He wants to take everyone out. For what? To me, this looks like a path toward privatizing the beach,” said the street vendor leader.
    The proposal still needs to formally be voted on, and it's not clear if that will happen before June 1.
    If approved, the bill will take precedence over the decree.
    Economic activity on Rio’s beaches, excluding kiosks, bars and restaurants, generates an estimated 4 billion reais (around $710 million) annually, according to a 2022 report by Rio’s City Hall.

Usually we don't have many national holidays like Independence Day, but today we celebrate and also we have some kind of feeling of protest that we are, we are losing our independence because of the foreign actors, neighbors, large big neighbors who want to abandon our freedom, and we have a double feeling. We are proud that we have independence, such a small nation, independent nation, but at the same time we fear that we might lose our independence very soon."

    11. SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Salome Zourabichvili, Former President of Georgia:
    "Georgia has always stood in the streets whenever its independence, freedom, and future were at risk. It stood in the streets in 2008 when Russia invaded us. It has been standing for seven months since the elections, and for six months since the illegitimate government decided to block our path toward freedom. Georgia is standing now - and it will be victorious."
    12. People applauding
    13. Child waving Georgian flag
    14. Mid pan of protesters
    STORYLINE:
    Demonstrators waving Georgian and European Union flags blocked the central street in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, on Monday to celebrate Independence Day.
    Salome Zourabichvili, the country's former president, addressed a crowd outside parliament, saying "Georgia has always stood in the streets whenever its independence, freedom, and future were at risk."
    Georgian opposition groups and a larger public did not participate in the celebration organized by the ruling Georgian Dream party and held an alternative celebration where thousands have attended.
    Georgia has seen widespread political unrest since the country’s last parliamentary election on Oct. 26, which was won by Georgian Dream.
    Protesters and the country’s opposition declared the result as illegitimate amid allegations of vote-rigging helped by Russia, sparking weeks of protests across the country.
    Georgian Dream has seen widespread condemnation by European leaders and international rights groups over its rough handling of protesters and perceived democratic backsliding.

  • Portuguese foreign minister expresses continued support for Ukraine following latest Russia attacks
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTIONS SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Lisbon, Portugal - 26 May 2025
    1. Various of Johann Wadephul, German Foreign Minister being welcomed by Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel
    2. Various of meeting between ministers and delegations
    3. Close of German, Portuguese and European Union flags
    4. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Paulo Rangel, Portuguese foreign minister:
    "(I would like to express) condemnation, I would say resounding (condemnation), of the attacks by the Russian regime against Ukrainian cities in recent days. All attacks are of course unacceptable aggressions but in this moment we are in, with this disproportion, they are completely unacceptable. We will obviously be always on the side of international law and in this case condemning Russia, supporting the efforts of Europe, of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, United States as well, other countries and NATO in particular have done to support Ukraine."
    5. Wide of news conference
    6. Close of camera
    STORYLINE:
    Portuguese Foreign Affairs Minister, Paulo Rangel, on Monday hosted his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, for talks in Lisbon.
    During the talks Rangel condemned Russia's overnight attacks on Ukraine as "completely unacceptable."
    He said Portugal would always be on the side of international law.
    "That means condemning Russia and supporting the effort that Europe, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, other countries, the United States as well, and NATO in particular have made to back Ukraine," he told reporters.
    Russia launched its biggest drone attack against Ukraine overnight, a Ukrainian official said on Monday, part of an escalating bombing campaign that has further dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the three-year-old war.
    On the third straight night of significant aerial bombardments, US President Donald Trump lashed out at Russian leader Vladimir Putin, saying he had gone “crazy” by stepping up attacks on Ukraine.
    The expansion of Russia's air campaign appeared to be another setback US-led peace efforts, as Putin looks determined to capture more Ukrainian territory and inflict more damage.
    It comes after Kyiv accepted an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in March that was proposed by the US but that Moscow effectively rejected.

  • Portuguese Foreign Minister welcomes his German counterpart in Lisbon
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Lisbon, Portugal - 26 May 2025
    1. Portuguese Foreign Affairs Minister Paulo Rangel and his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul at joint news conference
    2. SOUNDBITE (German) Johann Wadephul, German Foreign Minister:
    "There have now been several invitations and opportunities for the Russian president (Vladimir Putin) to come to the negotiating table, and he has rejected them. And we have always made it clear that this behaviour will not remain without consequences. This means we will have to decide on sanctions within the European framework. I will also discuss this issue in the United States of America, and we will, of course, continue to support Ukraine militarily so that it can defend itself and prevent the Russian aggressor from successfully continuing his war."
    3. Wide of Rangel and Wadephul, pan right
    4. SOUNDBITE (German) Johann Wadephul, German Foreign Minister:
    "But the basic principle is what the Federal Chancellor (Friedrich Merz) has already said on several occasions: We will not make statements about individual weapon systems, there is an ambiguity here. We will not give Mr. Putin the opportunity to know what we are specifically doing, it will be responsible, but it will be such that Ukraine can defend itself effectively. This was the case in the past, and it will be the same in the future."
    5. Rangel and Wadephul shaking hands, leaving
    STORYLINE:
    Portuguese Foreign Affairs Minister Paulo Rangel on Monday hosted his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, for talks in Lisbon.
    During a joint news conference afterwards, Wadephul said the European Union would be discussing the imposition of further sanctions on Russia, after it launched its biggest drone attack against Ukraine overnight.
    "We have always made it clear that this behaviour will not remain without consequences," he said.
    US President Donald, Trump has threatened massive sanctions, too, but so far hasn’t taken action.
    But he made it clear Sunday night that he is losing patience with Putin.
    Wadephul will be travelling to the US on Tuesday for an inaugural visit.
    A meeting with his counterpart Marco Rubio is planned in Washington on Wednesday, as announced by the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin.

  • Israeli ultranationalists make their way through Jerusalem's Old City during annual march
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTIONS SUMMARY:
    ++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: THIS EDIT CONTAINS INCITEFUL LANGUAGE/PROFANITIES++
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Jerusalem - 26 May 2025

    4. Ultranationalists chanting (Hebrew) "Palestinians, damn them"
    5. Various of marchers advancing with police following them
    6. Tilt down from Israeli flag in Old City alley to marchers
    7. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Moshe Peretz, marcher:
    "You can see it like that (as a provocation) but we don't. We don't look at it this way. (Youngster passes by and shouts "Death to the Arabs"), we look at it in such a way that we are marching, a march of joy to connect to Jerusalem. With feet, body, and soul from within the whole of Israel."
    8. Marchers carrying banner reading (Hebrew): "Without the Nakba there is no victory" and singing "whoever believes is not afraid"
    9. SOUNDBITE (English) Natti (no surname given), volunteer from the pro-peace organisation, Standing Together:
    "We already (for) two years now, we are coming to Jerusalem to stand between the pogromists and the shopkeepers and civilians that are walking around
    (Warning: man behind interviewee making the finger of honour and putting his hand in front of the camera lens and saying
    "don't film me, don't film me")

    10. Police pushing man back
    11. Marchers chanting (Hebrew) "Gaza is ours"
    12. Police following marchers
    13. Various of marchers singing and chanting
    STORYLINE:
    Groups of Israeli ultranationalists made their way through neighbourhoods of Jerusalem's Old City on Monday, during an annual march marking Israel's conquest of the eastern part of the city.
    Tour buses carrying ultranationalists lined up near entrances to the Old City, bringing hundreds from outside Jerusalem, including settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
    Police, who called the procession the “Dance of Flags,” said they had detained a number of people and “acted swiftly to prevent violence, confrontations and provocations.”
    Palestinian shopkeepers closed early and police lined the alleys ahead of the march that often becomes a rowdy and sometimes violent procession of ultranationalists.
    Police kept a close watch as demonstrators jumped, danced and sang.
    Volunteers from the pro-peace organization Standing Together and the Free Jerusalem collective, which works with Palestinians in Jerusalem, tried to position themselves between the marchers and residents to prevent violence.
    The march commemorates Jerusalem Day, which marks Israel’s capture of east Jerusalem, including the Old City and its holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims, in the 1967 Mideast war.
    The event threatened to inflame tensions that are rife in the restive city amid nearly 600 days of war in Gaza.
    Jerusalem lies at the heart of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
    Each sees the city as a key part of their national and religious identity.
    It is one of the most intractable issues of the conflict and is often a flashpoint.
    Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its eternal, undivided capital.
    Its annexation of east Jerusalem is not internationally recognised.
    Palestinians want an independent state with east Jerusalem as its capital.
    Four years ago, the march helped set off an 11-day war in Gaza.

  • Endurance swimmer completes circumnavigation of Martha’s Vineyard ahead of ‘Jaws’ 50th

    Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts - 26 May 2025
    1. Various of crowd gathered at beach
    2. Various of Lewis Pugh swimming
    3. Lewis Pugh walking out of the water
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lewis Pugh, Endurance Swimmer and Ocean Advocate:
    “It's been a long journey, it really has, 12 days, cold water, constant winds, waves and then the, always thinking about what may be beneath me, it's been, it has been a big swim, a very big swim.”
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    5. SOUNDBITE (English) Lewis Pugh, Endurance Swimmer and Ocean Advocate:
    “But the importance of this swim was to highlight just how important sharks are. It's the 50th anniversary of Jaws, which is this blockbuster movie which was made here, 50 years ago here on Martha's Vineyard. And this is about explaining just how important sharks are for all of us. Sharks are the most magnificent creatures. They're absolutely essential for life on Earth. And this was the message to swim right the way around the island every single day talking about how important these animals are.”
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lewis Pugh, Endurance Swimmer and Ocean Advocate:
    “The biggest challenge on this swim has been the wind. I mean, we've had unrelenting wind day after day after day, and when you have wind day after day, after day you have waves. And I always knew this swim was gonna be a tough swim, but when you put the wind and then the waves, and then, the distance, and then thinking about what is beneath you all the time, it adds up, it becomes attritional after a while.”
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    7. SOUNDBITE (English) Lewis Pugh, Endurance Swimmer and Ocean Advocate:
    “No, I didn't encounter any sharks. It would have been wonderful to have seen sharks because they're such amazing animals and when you see sharks you realize you have a healthy ocean underneath. There on the corner we saw lots of seals which are also just absolutely wonderful. This is a truly beautiful part of the American coastline.”
    8. Wide of lighthouse on beach
    STORYLINE:
    Lewis Pugh, a British-South African endurance swimmer completed his 62-mile (100-kilometer) 12-day journey around Martha's Vineyard on Monday, becoming the first person to swim all the way around the island.
    Pugh began swimming multiple hours a day in the 47-degree (8-degree Celsius) water on May 15 to raise awareness and encourage protections for sharks as the film “Jaws” nears its 50th birthday.
    “Jaws,” which was filmed in Edgartown, renamed Amity Island for the movie, created Hollywood’s blockbuster culture when it was released in summer 1975, setting new box office records and earning three Academy Awards. The movie would shape views of the ocean for decades to come.
    Both director Steven Spielberg and author Peter Benchley expressed regret that viewers of the film became so afraid of sharks, and both later contributed to conservation efforts as their populations declined, largely due to commercial fishing.
    Immediately after walking out the ocean, Lewis Pugh reiterated his message to the Associated Press, “This is about explaining just how important sharks are for all of us. Sharks are the most magnificent creatures. They're absolutely essential for life on Earth,”.
    The swimmer stated that in his 40 year career, this swim around Martha’s Vineyard was one of the most difficult.
    “I always knew this swim was gonna be a tough swim, but when you put the wind and then the waves, and then, the distance, and then thinking about what is beneath you all the time, it adds up, it becomes attritional after a while,” Pugh said.

    Pugh's endeavor also coincides with the New England Aquarium's first confirmed sighting this season of a white shark, off the nearby island of Nantucket.
    Just in case, he was accompanied by safety personnel in a boat and a kayak, whose paddler is using a “Shark Shield” device to create a low-intensity electric field in the water to deter sharks without harming them.

  • Un ataque israelí golpea una escuela convertida en refugio en la Franja de Gaza
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ++ADVERTENCIA CONTIENE IMÁGENES DE UN NIÑO MUERTO Y DE PERSONAS++
     
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Ciudad de Gaza, Franja de Gaza - 26 de mayo de 2025
    Ataques israelíes mataron al menos a 52 personas en la Franja de Gaza el lunes, incluidas 36 en una escuela convertida en refugio, según dijeron funcionarios locales de salud.
     
    El Ejército dijo que había atacado a milicianos que operaban desde la escuela.
     
    SOUNDBITE (Árabe): Mosab Eliyyan, desplazado en la escuela:
    “Mi mujer, mis hijos y yo estábamos durmiendo en el piso de arriba y nos encontramos con que nos caía todo encima, ventanas y piedras”, dijo este hombre. “Salimos corriendo como locos y encontramos la escuela, como pueden ver, alcanzada por cuatro misiles anoche."
     
    SOUNDBITE (Árabe): Farah Nassir, desplazada en la escuela:
    “De repente me desperté y encontré todo mi cuerpo bajo los escombros, sólo mi cabeza fuera, mi hijo pequeño, de año y medio estaba bajo los escombros, mi marido, todos nuestros hijos”, dijo esta mujer. “No tenemos seguridad en ningún lugar que nos cobije, ¿a dónde vamos?”.
     
    Israel renovó su ofensiva en marzo después de poner fin a un alto el fuego con Hamás.
     
    Israel ha prometido tomar el control de Gaza y facilitar lo que describe como la migración voluntaria de sus más de 2 millones de habitantes, un plan rechazado por los palestinos y gran parte de la comunidad internacional.
     
    Israel comenzó a permitir la entrada de una pequeña cantidad de ayuda humanitaria a Gaza la semana pasada después de bloquearla durante 2 meses y medio.
     
    Pero los grupos de ayuda han advertido sobre la hambruna y dicen que la ayuda no es suficiente.
