  • Rio de Janeiro to limit live music on its beaches

    1. Various of beachgoers gathering on Ipanema beach
    2. Kiosk at Ipanema beach
    3. Various of people at the kiosk as music plays in the background
    4. 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."
    5. Beachgoers on Ipanema
    6. Photographer Yuri de Lucas at the beach
    7. 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."

    11. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Alex Alves, 41-year-old street vendor leader:
    "He (Mayor Eduardo Paes) is doing the same thing he did during his first term, when he removed the popular kiosks and brought in companies. And now he 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."
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - 25 May 2025
    12. Various of street vendors at the beach
    13. Beachgoers gathering at the beach
    STORYLINE:
    If you have been to Rio de Janeiro’ 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.
    If approved, the bill will take precedence over the decree.

  • Former US Rep. Charles Rangel of New York dies at 94
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    ARCHIVE: New York - 24 June 2014
    1. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Rep. Charles Rangel, (D) New York
    "And that's what this election is all about. Who can walk into the national arena with the most friends, the most supporters, that has fought the good battles, to understand their problems as much as I want them to understand mine."
    POOL
    ARCHIVE: Washington - 6 March 1996
    ++4:3 ASPECT RATIO++
    2. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Rep. Charles Rangel, (D) New York:
    "This law is written so poorly you can't even enforce it. They're not going to be angry with us Mr. Campbell. Not our allies. They're going to feel sorry for us. No great nation like ours can have the arrogance to tell some other country what they can do with their foreign trade."
    ++EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    STORYLINE:
    Former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, an outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat who spent nearly five decades on Capitol Hill and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, died Monday at age 94.
    His family confirmed the death in a statement provided by City College of New York spokesperson Michelle Stent. He died at a hospital in New York, Stent said.
    A veteran of the Korean War, he defeated legendary Harlem politician Adam Clayton Powell in 1970 to start his congressional career. During the next 40-plus years, he became a legend himself — a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, dean of the New York congressional delegation, and in 2007, the first African American to chair the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
    He stepped down from that committee amid an ethics cloud, and the House censured him in 2010. But he was reelected. He went on to serve in Congress until 2017, when he decided not to seek reelection.

So, the important (matter) is to make sure that we use it in right way. We make sure that our students do not solely depend on artificial intelligence. They still think, they still create, and not purely go online and search for anything they are looking for and let the artificial intelligence do the job.

    Bou Saab, who also serves as deputy speaker of Lebanese Parliament, believes that laws have to put in place as people's reliance on technology increases.
    Since AI surged into public awareness with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022, legacy media have grappled with how best to use the technology, and whether to cooperate with or even combat the companies behind it.
    "Where is AI (artificial intelligence) taking us? What's going to happen with it in the future when everyone is going be depending solely on the artificial intelligence?" Bou Saab said.

  • A day after Venezuela's election for lawmakers and governors, citizens are weary

    2. Headline in newspaper reading: "CNE: 23 governorships for PSUV (ruling party)

    4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Engerbert Ferrer, Venezuelan:
    "As a Venezuelan I respect institutions and I went to vote, but voting centers were a little empty. I just want that the country works, and things work and that the economy improves so one can have a better quality of life. But well, as a Venezuelan, one has to respect institutions and exercise one's rights, like all Venezuelans."
    5. Various of people walking on the street
    6. Various of Danny Hernandez lifting weights in a public square
    7. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Danny Hernandez, electrician:
    "I think it was as everyone expected: more of the same. No, I didn't vote"
    8. People walking in the street
    9. Various of banner with government electoral propaganda
    STORYLINE:
    Venezuelans reacted on Monday to the government's expected sweeping victory in parliamentary and regional elections marked by the boycott of the opposition.
    "I think it was as everyone expected: more of the same. No, I didn't vote" said Danny Hernandez, with weights balanced on his back.
    The foregone conclusion of the election, with the heavy hand of Venezuela's ruling party involved in the vote, kept Venezuelans away from the polls. Voting centers were left practically empty at times.
    Electoral authorities said 42.66% of registered voters cast ballots across the country. Some 21.4 million people were registered, meaning the National Electoral Council claimed that about 9.12 million voters participated.
    This is a figure that many Venezuelans distrust for what they saw on election day.
    It was a stark contrast with the enthusiasm of the July 28 presidential election, when some people queued overnight and lines stretched for blocks.
    Voter participation, in the eyes of the opposition, legitimizes Maduro’s claim to power and his government’s repressive apparatus.
    After the July presidential election detained more than 2,000 people including protesters, poll workers, political activists and minors, to quash dissent.

  • France's first lady seems to push her husband as they land in Vietnam. He says they were joking

    2. SOUNDBITE (English) John Leicester, The Associated Press:
    ++PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 1 AND 3++
    "This gesture, filmed by The Associated Press, is causing a stir in France. It appears to show France's president, Emmanuel Macron, being pushed in the face by his wife Brigitte. She is off camera in a red jacket. The video was taken Sunday as the Macrons arrived in Hanoi in Vietnam. They’re on a tour of Southeast Asia. Media in France were trying Monday to decipher the interaction. Macron himself told reporters that it was nothing more than playfighting. The French leader said the moment was being overblown into what he called "a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe. The Macrons have been married since 2007. They first met at the high school where he was a student, and she was a teacher. The French leader told reporters that he and the French first lady often joke around like this. Macron’s office called it 'a moment of complicity' and argued that conspiracy theorists were making a mountain out of a molehill."

    Hanoi, Vietnam - 25 May 2025
    ++NIGHT SHOTS++
    3. Macron and wife Brigitte Macron leaving plane ++OVERLAID OVER SHOT 2++
    STORYLINE:
    They were just 'playfighting.'
    That was French President Emmanuel Macron's explanation Monday for video images that showed show his wife, Brigitte, pushing her husband away with both hands on his face before they disembarked from their plane to start a tour of southeast Asia this weekend.
    The moment quickly made headlines in France, with media trying to decipher the interaction that cameras spotted through the just-opened door of the plane. The headline of a story on the website of the daily Le Parisien newspaper asked: “Slap or ‘squabble?' The images of Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron disembarking in Vietnam trigger a lot of comment.”
    Macron later told reporters that the couple — married since 2007 after meeting at the high school where he was a student and she was a teacher — were simply joking around.
    “We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,” he said, adding that the incident was being overblown into "a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe.”
    In video taken by The Associated Press as the Macrons arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sunday, a uniformed man can be seen pulling open the plane door and revealing the president standing inside, dressed in a suit and talking to someone who wasn't visible.
    Brigitte Macron's arms — in red — were seen reaching out and pushing Macron away, with one hand covering his mouth and part of his nose while the other was on his jaw. The French leader recoiled, turning his head away. Then, apparently realizing that he was on camera, he broke into a smile and gave a little wave.
    In subsequent images, Macron and his wife, wearing a red jacket, appeared at the top of the stairs. He offered an arm but she didn’t take it. They walked down the carpeted stairs side by side.
    The French leader argued that the images and reaction to them offered a cautionary tale about disinformation in the social media age, noting that in recent weeks, other videos had been used to circulate made-up stories about him.
    “Everyone needs to calm down,” he said.
    His office also downplayed the interaction.

  • How is the new Gaza aid plan supposed to work -- and why are so many aid groups against it?
    (26 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

    Tel Aviv, Israel - 26 May 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English): Sam Mednick, The Associated Press:
    ++PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 2++
    "A US-backed group is set to take over aid distribution in Gaza. Here's what we know. The group is called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. It is supported by Israel, and it is run by former US military as well as humanitarian officials. The group is going to distribute food assistance in hubs in southern Gaza as well as in the center of Gaza. And hope to feed about a million Palestinians, they say at the beginning, then over time it will expand the hubs that it has, including to the north of Gaza. Now, aid groups say that this approach will not work for them, that it violates humanitarian principles because it is going to essentially force people to move to the assistance, causing forcible displacement. There are a lot of questions swirling about how this group will operate as well as who is going to run it. Their director Jake Wood just resigned days before they say that they are going to start working. It is also unclear who is going to fund this group. The group has said that there is an EU country that has pledged $100 million but it is unclear who that country is, so there are a lot of questions right now about how this is going to work. Will it work? And they say that they are just days away from beginning operations."

    STORYLINE:
    A U.S.-backed group that is slated by Israel to take over aid distribution in Gaza says it plans to launch its work imminently, despite opposition from the U.N. and most humanitarian groups and the unexpected resignation of its executive director.
    The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is the linchpin of a new aid system that would wrest distribution away from aid groups led by the U.N., which have carried out a massive operation moving food, medicine, fuel, tents and other supplies across Gaza since the war began in October 2023.
    The new mechanism limits food distribution to a small number of hubs under guard of armed contractors, where people must go to pick it up.
    Currently four hubs are being set up, all close to Israeli military positions. Three are in the far south where few Palestinians are located.
    GHF said in a statement that distribution will start as soon as Monday. “We will not be deterred. Our trucks are loaded and ready to go,” it said.
    The group said it planned to reach more than one million Palestinians by the end of the week. Gaza has a population of around 2.3 million.
    Jake Wood, the American heading the effort, said Sunday night he was resigning because it was clear the organization would not be allowed to operate independently.
    Israel has demanded an alternative plan because it accuses Hamas of siphoning off aid.
    The United Nations and aid groups deny there is significant diversion.
    They reject the new mechanism, saying it allows Israel to use food as a weapon, violates humanitarian principles and won’t be effective.
    Israel blocked food, fuel, medicine and all other supplies from entering Gaza for nearly three months, pushing the territory toward famine. Last week, it allowed in a trickle of supplies, saying it would let the U.N. distribute it only until GHF was running.
    The Hamas-run Interior Ministry on Monday warned Palestinians in Gaza against dealing with GHF.

    STORYLINE:
    She's more than just cool for the summer — Demi Lovato is officially married.
    The musician-actor, 32, tied the knot with Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, on Sunday in California, as first exclusively reported by Vogue.
    The couple met while working on Lovato's last album, 2022's “Holy Fvck," and dated for nearly two years before Lutes proposed in December 2023. Lutes co-wrote a few of the songs that made “Holy Fvck,” including “Happy Ending,” “City of Angels," and the pop-punk single, “Substance.”
    Lovato wore a white Vivienne Westwood dress and Lutes wore a Saint Laurent suit.
    Representatives for Lovato did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
    Lovato, a former child star, began her entertainment career on “Barney & Friends” before becoming a staple of Disney Channel in the 2000s for her role in the “Camp Rock” films and as the star of “Sonny with a Chance.” Beyond her acting, Lovato has long been celebrated for her gifted soprano and has released eight albums across her career.
    Lutes, an independent artist whose hybridist music marries elements of emo, pop-punk and trap, was previously signed to Capitol Records.
    Prior to her relationship with Lutes, Lovato was engaged to the actor Max Ehrich in 2020. They called off their engagement after two months.
