“This listing signifies our deeper integration into the global capital markets and marks a new milestone in our mission to drive the global zero-carbon economy. CATL is more than just a battery parts manufacturer, it is also a provider of system solutions and is committed to be a zero-carbon company.”

7. Various of guests toasting at the ceremony

STORYLINE:

Shares in the world’s largest maker of batteries for electric vehicles, CATL, jumped about 13% Tuesday in its Hong Kong trading debut after it raised about $4.6 billion in the world’s largest initial public offering this year.

The solid reception for the Chinese company, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., in Hong Kong suggests there is still an appetite among international investors for leading Chinese manufacturers despite trade tensions between Beijing and Washington.

It sold over 135 million shares at their maximum offer price, 263 Hong Kong dollars ($33.60 USD) each.

Its shares rose after it started trading at 296 Hong Kong dollars ($37.80), 12.5% higher than the offer price. They were up about 13% by midday.

CATL also has shares listed in Shenzhen, a business hub neighboring Hong Kong. They initially fell but then edged 0.1% higher Tuesday.

CATL held a nearly 38% global market share for electric vehicle batteries in 2024, its listing documents showed. It supplies automakers like Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Toyota and Honda.

In January, the U.S. Defense Department added it to a list of companies it says have ties to China’s military, an accusation that CATL denied. It called the inclusion a “mistake.”

Kerem Shalom crossing, Israel - 20 May 2025

1. Various of aid trucks crossing to the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom crossing

STORYLINE:

Trucks carrying aid were seen on Tuesday morning on the Israeli side of the Kerem Shalom crossing before they are expected to head into Gaza, after Israeli officials said they would allow in a limited amount of humanitarian aid.

Israel says it doesn't want a “starvation crisis” jeopardizing its new military offensive in the territory of over 2 million Palestinians.

The first aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday following nearly three months of Israel’s complete blockade, according to the Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza.

Five trucks carrying aid including baby food entered the territory via the Kerem Shalom crossing.

Global experts had warned of famine in Gaza as a result of the Israeli blockade.

Israel cut off all food, medicine and other supplies to the territory to pressure Hamas over ceasefire terms.

The war in Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count.

And we've seen with the United States what those real world consequences are. And I really hope that during the upcoming visit to Washington, the President (South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa) is going to be able to put the facts before his counterparts and to demonstrate, there's no mass expropriation of land taking place in South Africa. There's no genocide taking place. Yes, we have crime issues, but as a government, we have committed resources and policing to deal with it.”

STORYLINE:

Days before South Africa's president meets with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House this week, Afrikaner farmers at the center of an extraordinary new U.S. refugee policy roamed a memorial to farm attacks in their country's agricultural heartland, some touching the names of the dead — both Black and white.

In Bothaville, where thousands of farmers gathered for a lively agricultural fair with everything from grains to guns on display, even some conservative white Afrikaner groups debunked the Trump administration's “genocide” and land seizure claims that led it to cut all financial aid to South Africa.

The bustling scene was business as usual, with milkshakes and burgers and tow-headed children pulled in wagons.

Some at the agricultural fair said fleeing the country isn't one of them.

++SOUNDBITE STARTS IN SHOT 1 AND IS PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 3++

4. Migrant coming out of center

5. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Antonio García, Honduras Deputy Foreign Minister:

++STARTS IN PREVIOUS SHOT, PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 6++

"They say it's difficult, that there's a hostile atmosphere towards migrants, that they're afraid to go out to work or walk down the street, that sometimes there are raids in restaurants and workplaces. So it's a very unpleasant environment and they say: 'no, I'd rather not live like this, I'm going back to my country'."

6. Various of self-deported migrants walking out with their luggage

STORYLINE:

The United States on Monday sent 68 immigrants from Honduras and Colombia back to their countries, the first government-funded flight of what the Trump administration is calling voluntary deportations.

In the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula, 38 Hondurans, including 19 children, disembarked from the charter flight carrying $1,000 debit cards from the U.S. government and the offer to one day be allowed to apply for legal entry into the U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to increase deportations substantially.

Experts believe the self-deportation offer will only appeal to a small portion of migrants already considering return, but unlikely to spur high demand.

The offer has been paired with highly-publicized migrant detentions in the U.S. and flying a couple hundred Venezuelan migrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.

Kevin Antonio Posadas, from Tegucigalpa, had lived in Houston for three years, but had already been considering a return to Honduras when the Trump administration announced its offer.

Posadas said the process through the CBP Home app was easy.

Posadas said he hadn’t feared deportation and liked living in the U.S., but had been thinking for some time about going home.

He said eventually he would consider taking up the U.S. government’s offer of allowing those who self-deport to apply to enter the United States legally.

Twenty-six more migrants aboard the flight were headed home to Colombia, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security statement.

Honduras Deputy Foreign Minister Antonio García said the Honduran government would also support the returning migrants with $100 cash and another $200 credit at a government-run store that sells basic necessities.

Among the migrants arriving voluntarily Monday were four children who were born in the United States, García said.

García, who met the arriving migrants at the airport, said they told him that being in the U.S. without documents required for legal immigration or residence had been increasingly difficult, that things were growing more hostile and they feared going to work.

According to Honduras immigration director Wilson Paz the number of Hondurans deported from the U.S. so far this year is below last year’s pace.

He didn’t expect the number to accelerate much, despite the Trump administration’s intentions.

"I don’t think it will be thousands of people who apply for the program,” Paz said.

"And I know President Trump said that — America first, we're going to help our American folks first. But we haven't seen the federal folks down here."

22. Car drives past debris

STORYLINE:

More than two months after 18 tornados ripped through Mississippi, killing seven and damaging hundreds of homes, the state has not received federal disaster assistance.

"I know the last time, once we sent it up, within less than a week, we had the declaration," Walthall County Emergency Management Director Royce McKee said, referencing when a tornado hit the county in 2020. "Here we are, a month and a half [later], and we got three times as much damage and we don't have a declaration."

Walthall County was hit especially hard by a massive storm system in mid-March that wreaked havoc across multiple states. The storm spawned an EF4 and EF3 tornado in Walthall County, leaving four people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed or damaged.

"This is 15 years worth of stuff," said Brian Lowery, gesturing to a pile of rubble — all that remains of his home.

Lowery lives in Tylertown, the county seat of Walthall County, and said he is one of the lucky ones. He, his wife and 13-year-old son got to a safe location before the tornado demolished their home. Now, they are living with family and trying to figure out what's next.

STORYLINE:

Shaun Horne is a rarity among his Detroit high school peers.

He only plays golf.

Coaches and community groups in the city are taking ambitious steps to spread the game's popularity among students -- noting that only about 50 of more than 14,000 high school students in Detroit's school district play golf on school teams.

In Detroit, the biggest challenge is exposing Black youth to the game. That’s according to Jesse Hawkins, who is Black and coaches Horne’s team at Renaissance High School.

“In my community when we were growing up, it was just not a recognized sport,” Hawkins said. “It wasn’t something that was well-respected by our community let alone invested in.”

Tel Aviv - 19 May 2025

1. Parents of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, Yael and Adi, walking

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Adi Alexander, father of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander:

"He talks a lot. First, he talked about the October 7th, the date. He just went by the chronological order of things. First, what happened on October 7, then what happened in the first days in the tunnels, then what happened when he was moved between the locations, moved around with the other hostages, and the last phase of the captivity, which is the past 7 months, he was held at the same location."

3. Close of Adi

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Adi Alexander, father of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander:

"Phase one, first year, the conditions were terrible. They were moved around a lot between locations and the food was, he lost...I think at some point he weighed like 130 pounds and he's 6ft tall. So he was very skinny. The second phase of the 7th month of his captivity, since President Trump was re-elected, the conditions were better. The facility was a little bit better and the food was a little better, and during the ceasefires, which is if I remember correctly, it was 2.5 months. So during those 2.5 months, they even had to have like some meat."

5. Banner of Edan Alexander outside his grandmother's house

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Adi Alexander, father of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander:

"It's the same moment on October 7th when he thought that he's done. He was in a battle with the militants and he was involved in a fight and it was too many of them. And he was really worried on the way to the tunnels, he thought that something will happen to him on the way there. So he was really concerned. But that was the scariest moment, October 7th."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Yael Alexander, mother of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander:

"So every day, like we see different, we see the difference with Edan, like how is he, you know. At the first days he couldn't eat. It was really bothering him, like he told us, 'I don't have appetite', like there was a ton of food in the hospital, a lot of stuff came and he was like 'I don't have appetite'. But then something changed after, I think, two days that we've been there and he didn't eat anything, he just suddenly ate some meat and this was like a burger and fries and everything. You know, and I was like sitting there and looking at him with this big smile on my face and I'm like 'oh my god' because he was like craving the hamburger and we heard also that a lot of people that got released from the Hamas, this is the first thing that they asked for."

9. Close of Yael's hands

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Yael Alexander, mother of released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander:

"But now he's OK. He's talking a lot. He's meeting a lot of his friends from the kibbutz that came also from the United States, so he's in touch with them."
