7. Crowd walking

8. SOUNDBITE (Polish) Urszula Gordon, march attendee:

19. Nawrocki supporters pose with a poster, reading (Polish): "Always be Polish, never a traitor and a leftist."

STORYLINE:

Tens of thousands of people joined rival rallies in Warsaw as Poland’s presidential runoff looms.

Many of those who joined Sunday’s marches had traveled from across Poland, a country of nearly 38 million people, not just to support a candidate but to rally behind sharply divergent visions for the nation’s future.

At the head of one march was Rafał Trzaskowski, 53, the pro-European Union Mayor of Warsaw who supports abortion rights and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

In another part of Warsaw, Karol Nawrocki, 42, addressed his supporters.

STORYLINE:

Over 300 Ukrainian soldiers returned home on Sunday, as Russia and Ukraine swapped more prisoners.

It was the third and last part of a major exchange that reflected a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire in the more than three years of conflict.  

Released Ukrainian soldiers were greeted by relatives as they arrived.

One of the released prisoners, Ihor Ulesov had an emotional reunion with his family moments after he got off the bus.

"When I heard that he was exchanged, there was a terrible scream in the house. My uncle calmed me down, put me in a taxi, and I came here," Ihor's sister Nataliya Borovyk said.

In talks held in Istanbul earlier this month Kyiv and Moscow agreed to swap 1,000 prisoners of war and civilian detainees each.

The exchange has been the only tangible outcome from the talks.

In a traditional restaurant kitchen in Rabat, a chef garnishes sweet pumpkin paste made from pumpkin cooked with honey, cinnamon, butter, and orange blossom water, with carefully roasted almond flakes.

In a side bowl, a simple Moroccan salad is prepared, made from tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley, cut into small cubes and garnished with salted oil-cured black olives. This is one of the most consumed salads in Morocco.

"This (election) is weaker. A voting center like this one - which I have been coming to for a long time - is normally full at this hour. Right now it is empty and it calls my attention because this is an area that is against the government and it seems that they are not taking this seriously."

STORYLINE:

Voters in Venezuela are choosing lawmakers, governors and other officials Sunday in polling being held against a backdrop of heightened government repression and opposition calls to boycott the election.

The election is taking place two days after the government detained dozens of people, including a prominent opposition leader, and linked them to an alleged plot to hinder the vote.

As polls opened around the country, a dozen voters were outside the country's largest voting center, located in the capital — a stark contrast with the hundreds who were already in line around the same time for the July 28 presidential election.

Voter participation, in the eyes of the opposition, legitimizes Maduro’s claim to power and his government’s repressive apparatus.

Meanwhile, the ruling party is already touting overwhelming victory across the country, just as it has done in previous regional elections regardless of opposition participation.

"If the opposition does not go out to vote it is a matter of logic that we are going to win and it is possible that we will win all 24 governorships," said Wolfang Becerra, a government supporter.

A nationwide poll conducted between April 29 and May 4 by the Venezuela-based research firm Delphos showed that only 15.9% of voters expressed a high probability of voting Sunday.

Of those, 74.2% said they would vote for the candidates of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela and its allies.

As he waited to vote at a voting center in a neighborhood historically related to favor the opposition, Pedro Barrera noted the voting center was empty, in comparison to other elections.

"A voting center like this one - which I have been coming for a long time - is normally full at this hour. Right now it is empty," he said.

The ruling party-loyal National Electoral Council is overseeing Sunday’s election for state legislators, 285 members of the unicameral National Assembly and all 24 governors, including the newly created governorship purportedly established to administer Essequibo, a region long under dispute between Venezuela and neighboring Guyana.

10. Father kissing graduated daughter

STORYLINE:

The American University of Baghdad celebrated the graduation of its first cohort of students on Saturday at a campus that was once a palace built by Saddam Hussein.

Officials said they hope the graduation will mark the beginning of a new era in higher education in Iraq rooted in modernity, openness and international academic standards.

The university sits on the site of the al-Faw Palace built on an island in the middle of an artificial lake by Saddam in the 1990s to mark the retaking of the peninsula of the same name during the war.

After the US-led invasion that unseated Saddam in 2003, it was used as a US coalition military headquarters called Camp Victory.

It was later developed into an American-style university with a core liberal arts program through funding by influential Iraqi business owner, Saadi Saihood.

A total of 38 students - 20 male and 18 female - graduated Saturday with degrees in business administration, sciences and humanities at a ceremony attended by political dignitaries as well as families and faculty members.

Although Iraq’s security situation has improved in recent years after decades of conflict, the country still suffers from brain drain as young people seek opportunities and stability abroad.

The university's new cohort of graduates are hopeful though that they will contribute toward building a better future for their country.

"I am very hopeful in my young colleagues and God willing we will be able to make a positive change in the Iraqi society,” said new graduate, Jawad Ahmad.

Another graduate, Saraa Bahaa, echoed these sentiments saying her cohort's goal was to help create a a "flourishing future" for Iraq.

In the village of Markhalivka, just outside Kyiv, several homes burned down after the strike.

The area was shrouded in smoke, with rubble scattered everywhere.

"The street looks like Bakhmut, like Mariupol, it's just terrible," 76-year-old Liubov Fedorenko told the Associated Press.

"Thank God we had no children. Yesterday I was trying to persuade my daughter to come to us, after all, you live on the eighth floor in Kyiv, and here it's the ground floor. She said - "No, mum, I'm not coming", And thank God she didn't come, because the rocket hit on the side where the children's rooms were.”

Liubov and her husband Ivan’s house was destroyed by the Russian shelling.

"We went to bed. The air siren went off. Our dogs were asking to come into the house, we invited them home. And they burned to death. I want to bury them, but I’m not allowed yet”, eighty-year-old Ivan Fedorenko said, as he tried to hold back tears.

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jerusalem - 25 May 2025

1. People going towards the protected space and stairs after being alerted by siren

STORYLINE:

People headed to a protected area in Jerusalem after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired a missile at Israel on Sunday setting off air raid sirens in Jerusalem and the Dead Sea areas.

The Israeli military said it intercepted the missile, and there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The Houthis have launched repeated missile attacks targeting Israel as well as international shipping in the Red Sea, portraying it as a response to Israel's offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Most of the targeted ships had no relation to Israel or the conflict.

The United States halted a punishing bombing campaign against the Houthis earlier this month, saying the rebels had pledged to stop attacking ships.

That agreement did not include attacks on Israel.
