STORYLINE:

An animal sanctuary in the northern Mexican city of Culiacan has been forced to move their 700 animals as violence from criminal warfare has seeped into daily life.

A pack of veterinarians clambered over hefty metal crates on Tuesday morning, loading them one by one onto a fleet of semi-trucks.

Among the cargo: tigers, monkeys, jaguars, elephants and lions – all fleeing the latest wave of cartel violence eclipsing Culiacan.

The caravan of semi-trucks departed Tuesday on a ride of more than 200 km to the coastal city of Mazatlan.

For years, exotic pets of cartel members and circus animals have been living in a small animal refuge on the outskirts of Sinaloa’s capital.

However, a bloody power struggle erupted last year between rival Sinaloa cartel factions, plunging the region into unprecedented violence and leaving the leaders of the Ostok Sanctuary reeling from armed attacks, constant death threats and a cutoff from essential supplies needed to keep their 700 animals alive.

They're the latest to flee a wave of cartel violence enveloping the city.

Staff have faced armed attacks and had their rescue vehicles robbed.

Though fighting has grown so widespread in the region that many fear it will inevitably catch up.

Southern Israel, looking into Gaza Strip - 21 May 2025

1. Wide of large explosion with smoke rising in Gaza

2. Wide of smoke spreading over the Gaza Strip

STORYLINE:

A large cloud of smoke spread over the Gaza Strip Wednesday morning, seen from southern Israel.

Israel pressed ahead Tuesday with its new military offensive, tdespite mounting international criticism, launching airstrikes that health officials said killed at least 85 Palestinians. Israeli officials said they also allowed in dozens more trucks carrying aid.

Two days after aid began entering Gaza, the desperately needed new supplies have not yet reached the people.

Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade for nearly three months, according to the United Nations.

Experts have warned that many of Gaza's 2 million residents are at high risk of famine.

RESTRICTIONS SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tokyo, Japan - 21 May 2025

1. Wide of convenience store, with a banner of Major League Baseball player Shohei Otani holding a rice ball, reading (Japanese) "I was born in a country where rice balls are good"

2. Close of rice balls sold in the store

3. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Norikatsu Akagami, Tokyo resident in his late 60s:

"I personally do not eat other things such as bread or pasta. I live almost 100% on rice. My family is the same and they all like rice. One of us is celiac, too."

4. Various of man eating rice from his bento box

5. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Norikatsu Akagami, Tokyo resident:

"I think (Taku Eto's) comment was not acceptable not only because he was the agriculture minister, but as a human. How shall I put this, as if once he took the upper position, he forgot about the lower-rank people. Despite being the leader, he didn't understand the importance of the position, and did not consider at all about the people whose lives could have improved as a result of this decision. I think the resignation is what he deserves."

6. Wide of Hiromi Akaba from Kawasaki sitting under a tree with her friend

7. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Hiromi Akaba, Kawasaki resident in her 60s:

"I think everyone has no choice but to buy rice at a price of 4,800 JPY or 5,000 JPY per 5kg, but this not normal. If this continues, we will stop eating rice and it could lead to shifting away from rice consumption, I think."

8. Cutaway

9. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Hiromi Akaba, Kawasaki resident in her 60s:

"The release of emergency stockpile rice was too late and it has not yet reached us, consumers. So I hope (the new minister) has the energy to visit shops and check the prices everyday, and who actually cares about our lives."

10. Man looking at lunch boxes

11. Close of lunch boxes packed with rice

STORYLINE:

While men queued to get their lunch in Tokyo Wednesday, some expressed their frustration over how the Japanese government has handled the rice supply over the last few months.

Taku Eto, Japan's Agriculture Minister's, resigned after saying he “never had to buy rice” because his supporters always give him the grain as gifts - and that, according to one Tokyo resident, was "what he deserves."

Eto was speaking at a party seminar on Sunday in Saga prefecture.

Hiromi Akaba, who lives in Kawasaki the outskirts of Tokyo, has been checking the prices of rice almost every day at her local supermarket.

She hs started to replace a meal per day with pasta or noodles from rice, and she consumes bread more often since the price hike.

The shortfall started last August on panic buying following a government caution over preparedness for a major earthquake.

The supply pressure eased after the autumn harvest, but a shortage and price increases hit again early this year.

Officials have blamed the supply shortage on poor harvests due to hot weather in 2023 and higher fertilizer and other production costs, but some experts blame the government’s long-term rice production policy.

The government released tons of rice from its emergency stockpile in recent weeks, but the latest agricultural ministry statistics show the release has hardly helped to ease the shortage or lower prices.

The unprecedented release from emergency rice stockpile was seen in part as an attempt to figure out distribution problems.

The government has denied there is now a rice shortage, but officials say it's a mystery why rice is not reaching consumers.

Some experts say it's because the shortage was so serious.

News Orleans - 20 May 2025

1. Armored vehicle in the street

2. Police officers in the street

3. Vehicles, including armored trucks, driving in the street

STORYLINE:

On Tuesday evening, state police confirmed that Corey Boyd, 19, became the fifth of the escapees from a New Orleans jail to be apprehended.

Boyd is accused of killing a person who caught him and others trying to break into a car in April 2024, the Times-Picayune/ NOLA.com reported, allegedly striking the victim with a vehicle before someone else shot the person.

He has has been charged with second-degree murder and pleaded not guilty.

Officials have underscored multiple security lapses, including ineffective cell locks and that the inmates escaped when the lone guard monitoring them went to get food.

The absence of the inmates, many charged with or convicted of violent offenses such as murder, was not reported to law enforcement for hours. Five remain at large.

A New Orleans jail maintenance worker has been arrested and is being held on a $1.1 million bond after admitting he turned water off to a toilet covering a hole in a cell wall, allowing 10 men to squeeze through the gap in one of the largest jailbreaks in recent U.S. history.

The aid organization’s trucks carried animals from Culiacan hours in a convoy across the state to seaside Mazatlan. They hope they can escape the brunt of the violence.

Though fighting has grown so widespread in the region that many fear it will inevitably catch up.

STORYLINE:

In an airy indoor pool with fish cutouts on the walls, a group of small children bobbed, floated and tentatively flutter-kicked.

It was what it looked like, a starter swimming class. But here, instructors worked one-on-one or even two to a child. Some staffers held cards to help kids communicate with teachers by pointing instead of speaking. No one blew whistles.

All the students in the class at the Small Fish Big Fish swim school had autism, a developmental disorder linked to a higher-than-average danger of drowning.

It has long worried autism experts and parents, but recent data make the stakes starkly clear. In Florida, a state where water abounds from beaches to backyards, over 100 children who had autism or were being evaluated for it have drowned since the start of 2021, according to the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County.

The numbers highlight an oft-overlooked dilemma: Autism makes swimming instruction all the more necessary but, often, all the more difficult to get.

But her son was in the pool at the autism-specific class at Small Fish Big Fish. An instructor helped him float on his back. When he started showing discomfort – he doesn’t like to get his head wet – she eased him onto his side, where he seemed content.
