    6. People waiting behind barriers
    7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kalen Hill, visitor from the US:
    “I would say all the Americans are emotional about it. Having an American Pope is not something we ever thought would happen. It has kind of been the inside thing that they don’t typically elect Americans to do that, so it is really exciting for us to be here and it is really powerful for American Catholics who sometimes feel separated from the world church to be brought in and included in this community through Pope Leo.”
    8. People at barriers waiting
    9. People waiting
    10. Wide of view down Via Della Conciliazione as faithful walk in
    11. Faithful going through security checks
    12. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Salvatore Del Rio, visitor from Mexico:
    “I am here so early so that I can enter into the Mass for Pope Leo. I am very emotional, very happy because this is the mass in which the Pope inaugurates his ministry and his pastoral activities. So it is very important. We are united as a church to ask for (prayers) for the this Pope and his ministry."
    13. Police checking faithful as they pass barrier
    14. Faithful walking past police
    15. SOUNDBITE (English) Daniella Mora, visitor from Colorado, US:
    “I am here because of the new Pope and his coronation. I am really excited. The church is very important to me. I am a convert and very excited to be here because I love God and this represents God to me so that is why I am here.”

    Nuns saying the rosary rubbed shoulders with Americans waving the stars and stripes, eager to be a witness as the first Pope born in the United States took on the ornaments of his office, the pallium and the fisherman’s ring, as he becomes the 267th successor of St. Peter.
    U.S. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the United States was elected Pope in a surprising fast conclave that concluded on May 8th after four rounds of balloting.
    Officials expect 250,000 faithful to attend his investiture Mass and over hundred delegations from all over the world, including the U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Kings and Queens from Spain, Monaco and the Netherlands were also expected.

  • George Simion votes in Romanian presidential election
    (18 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Mogosoaia - 18 May 2025
    1. Various of George Simion, leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, arriving and casting ballot together with far-right politician Călin Georgescu
    STORYLINE:
    George Simion, the leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, voted on Sunday in a tense presidential runoff between a hard-right nationalist and a pro-Western centrist, in a high-stakes election rerun that could determine the geopolitical direction of the European Union and NATO member country.
    Sunday’s race between frontrunner George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, and incumbent Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan comes months after the cancellation of the previous election plunged Romania into its worst political crisis in decades.
    Local polls opened at 7.00 a.m. local time (0400GMT) and will close at 9.00 p.m. (1800GMT). Romanians abroad have been able to vote since Friday at polling stations set up in other countries, and more than half a million have already cast ballots.
    Romania’s political landscape was upended last year when a top court voided the previous election after the far-right outsider Calin Georgescu topped first-round polls, following allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference, which Moscow denied.
    On Sunday, Călin Georgescu arrived at the polling station with Simion.
    Years of endemic corruption and growing anger toward Romania’s political establishment have fuelled a surge in support for anti-establishment and hard-right figures, reflecting a broader pattern across Europe. Both Simion and Dan have made their political careers railing against Romania’s old political class.
    Most recent local surveys indicate the runoff will be tight, after earlier ones showed Simion holding a lead over Dan, a 55-year-old mathematician who rose to prominence as a civic activist fighting against illegal real estate projects.
    Dan founded the reformist Save Romania Union party in 2016 but later left, and is running independently on a pro-EU ticket, reaffirming Western ties, support for Ukraine, and fiscal reform.
    The presidential role carries a five-year term and significant decision-making powers in national security and foreign policy. The winner of Sunday's race will be charged with appointing a new prime minister, after Marcel Ciolacu stepped down following the failure of his coalition’s candidate to advance to the runoff.
    After coming fourth in last year’s canceled race, Simion backed Georgescu who was banned in March from standing in the redo. Simion then surged to frontrunner in the May 4 first-round after becoming the standard-bearer for the hard right.
    Simion, who campaigned for reunification with neighboring Moldova, says he would focus on reforms: slashing red tape, reducing bureaucracy, and taxes. But he insists that his main goal is to restore democracy.
    The AUR party he leads says it stands for “family, nation, faith, and freedom” and rose to prominence in a 2020 parliamentary election. It has since grown to become the second-largest party in the Romanian legislature.
    In the first-round vote, Simion won a massive 61% of Romania’s large diaspora vote, with his calls to patriotism resonating with Romanians who moved abroad in search of better opportunities.

  • Mexican tall ship that hit Brooklyn Bridge leaves scene of accident
    (18 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    New York - 18 May 2025
    ++NIGHT SHOTS++
    1. Various of Mexican tall ship that hit Brooklyn Bridge leaving scene of accident
    STORYLINE:
    A Mexican navy sailing ship that struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Saturday night was moved slowly up the East River as midnight approached.
    The ship, that was on a global goodwill tour, had snapped its three masts in the collision, fatally injuring two crew members and leaving some sailors dangling from harnesses high in the air waiting for help.
    New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the 142-year-old bridge was spared major damage but at least 19 people about the ship needed medical treatment after the crash.
    Two of the four people who suffered more serious injuries later died, Adams announced on social media early Sunday morning.
    The cause of the collision was under investigation.
    In a scene captured in multiple eyewitness videos, the ship, called the Cuauhtemoc, could be seen traveling swiftly toward the bridge near the Brooklyn side of the East River. Then, its three masts struck the bridge's main span and snapped, one by one, as the ship kept moving.
    Videos showed heavy traffic on the span at the time of the 8:20 p.m. collision.
    The vessel, which was flying a giant green, white and red Mexican flag and had 277 people aboard, then drifted toward the piers lining the riverbank as onlookers scrambled away.
    Sailors could be seen aloft in the rigging on the damaged masts but, remarkably, no one fell into the water, officials said.
    The Mexican navy said in a post on the social platform X that the Cuauhtemoc was an academy training vessel. It said a total of 22 people were injured, 19 of whom needed medical treatment.
    The Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in 1883, has a nearly 1,600-foot (490-meter) main span supported by two masonry towers. More than 100,000 vehicles and an estimated 32,000 pedestrians cross every day, according to the city’s transportation department. Its walkway is a major tourist attraction.
    Traffic was halted after the collision but was allowed to resume after an inspection, city officials said.
    It was unclear what caused the ship to veer off course. New York Police Department Special Operations Chief Wilson Aramboles said the ship had just left a Manhattan pier and was supposed to have been headed out to sea, not toward the bridge.
    He said an initial report was that the pilot of the ship had lost power due to a mechanical problem, though officials cautioned that information was preliminary. Videos show a tugboat was close to the Cuauhtemoc at the time of the crash.
    The Cuauhtemoc — about 297 feet long and 40 feet wide (90.5 meters long and 12 meters wide), according to the Mexican navy — sailed for the first time in 1982.
    The vessel’s main mast has a height of 160 feet (48.9 meters), according to the Mexican government.
    As midnight approached, the broken boat was moved slowly up the East River, going under and past the Manhattan Bridge, aided by a series of tugboats, before docking at a pier.

    London, Kentucky - 17 May 2025
    ++MUTE++
    1. Various aerials of damage and destruction to homes and buildings caused by storm
    STORYLINE:
    Storms that swept across part of the Midwest and South killed least 27 people including 18 in Kentucky, where another 10 were hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.
    A devastating tornado in Kentucky damaged homes, tossed vehicles and left many people homeless.
    Seventeen of the deaths were in Laurel County, located in the state's southeast, and one was in Pulaski County: Fire Department Maj. Roger Leslie Leatherman, a 39-year veteran who was fatally injured while responding to the deadly weather.
    Parts of two dozen state roads were closed, and some could take days to reopen, according to Gov. Andy Beshear, who announced the toll of dead and critically injured on Saturday. He also said the death toll could still rise.
    State Emergency Management Director Eric Gibson said hundreds of homes were damaged.
    Rescuers searched for survivors all night and into the morning, the sheriff's office said.
    An emergency shelter was set up at a high school and donations of food and other necessities were arriving.

    ++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    (Journalist: Can you start by telling what you were doing here and what you saw?)
    "We were just getting dinner, we went to TimeOut Market, we were coming out, we do this quite a bit, we sit out here and watch the sunset."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    "And the boat kind of just like going past the bridge and we just saw the top of it snap off and it just kept on snapping and there was, I think there was a person dangling from the top."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    "We saw someone dangling and I couldn't tell if it was just blurry or it was just my eyes, and we were able to zoom in on our phones. And there was someone dangling from a harness, from the top for at least 15 minutes before they were able to rescue them. And then the national guard came I think, the firefighters, everyone."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    "Yeah and then we just stayed the entire time watching the whole rescue. Someone was dangling from the top. They were trying to pull him up. There was a bunch of people up top. It was just at first like we didn't know what was happening."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    "....what was going on. We thought it was a show honestly. And then it just kept getting worse."
    (Journalist: Was the boat like coming all the way up the river or was it just sort of slowly moving?)
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    "The boat was coming across the river. I think it was like a training navy."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    "I thought maybe they were coming to park right here and then I saw that they were trying to retract from the bridge, that they were already hit. Because if you zoom in and see the boat, you can see like there was a high part..."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    There was a higher... the boat, it snapped off, so whatever you're seeing now of the boat, there was more to it and it literally snapped off in half.
    (Journalist: That's wild. And what was the reaction of people down here?)
    Everyone was kind of, I heard like gasps and screaming."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    "Everyone was just gawking."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    "I mean the crowd here right now it's kind of empty, but we couldn't move before. Everyone had their phones out recording it, it was crazy."
    (Journalist: And you guys locals or were you just visiting?)
    SOUNDBITE (English) Sydney Neidell, witness:
    "She's in Brooklyn, I'm in the city."
    SOUNDBITE (English) Lily Katz, witness:
    "We were actually, right before we sat down there was a bride and groom in the (inaudible) area."

We saw two of that happen. But I think they've been like kind of driving them over there and taking them out. We've seen ambulances come in back and forth throughout the past like 1 hour, 2 hours."

    STORYLINE:
    A Mexican navy sailing ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday during a promotional tour in New York City, the top of its three masts slamming into the iconic span and partially collapsing as the boat floated in the East River.
    New York City Mayor Eric Adams said 19 people were injured in the crash, four seriously, but the 142-year-old bridge was spared major damage. The cause of the collision was under investigation.
    In a scene captured in multiple eyewitness videos, the masts could be seen snapping and partially collapsing as they crashed into the deck of the bridge. Videos showed heavy traffic on the span at the time of the collision.
    The vessel, which was flying a giant green, white and red Mexican flag, then drifted toward the edge of the river as onlookers scrambled away from shore. Sailors could be seen aloft in the rigging on the damaged masts.
    The Mexican navy said in a post on the social platform X that the Cuauhtemoc, an academy training vessel, was damaged in an accident with the Brooklyn Bridge that prevented it from continuing its voyage.
    It added that the status of personnel and material was under review by naval and local authorities, which were providing assistance.
    The Foreign Affairs Ministry said on X that its ambassador to the U.S. and officials from the Mexican consulate in New York were in contact with local authorities to provide assistance to “the affected cadets,” but it did not mention injuries.
    The Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in 1883, has a nearly 1,600-foot (490-meter) main span supported by two masonry towers. More than 100,000 vehicles and an estimated 32,000 pedestrians cross every day, according to the city’s transportation department, and its walkway is a major tourist attraction.
    The Cuauhtemoc — about 297 feet long and 40 feet wide (90.5 meters long and 12 meters wide), according to the Mexican navy — sailed for the first time in 1982.
    Each year it sets out at the end of classes at the naval military school to finish cadets' training. This year it left the Mexican port of Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, on April 6 with 277 people onboard, the navy said then.
    The Mexican consulate said May 13 on X that the Cuauhtemoc, also called the “Ambassador and Knight of the Seas,” arrived that day and docked at pier 17. It invited people to visit through May 17.
    The ship was scheduled to visit 22 ports in 15 nations, including Kingston, Jamaica; Havana, Cuba; Cozumel, Mexico; and New York.
    It also had planned to go to Reykjavik, Iceland; Bordeaux, Saint Malo and Dunkirk, France; and Aberdeen, Scotland, among others, for a total of 254 days, 170 of them at sea.

  • Explosions and flashes light up the Gaza skyline at night
    (18 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Southern Israel overlooking the Gaza Strip - 18 May 2025
    ++MUTE++
    ++NIGHT SHOTS++
    1. Various of explosions, bright flashes lighting up the night sky
    STORYLINE:
    Explosions and bright flashes were seen lighting up the sky over the Gaza Strip early Sunday.
    Israel said Saturday it launched a major military operation in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release remaining hostages, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a negotiating team to remain in Qatar for indirect talks with the militant group.
    Defense Minister Israel Katz said Operation Gideon Chariots was being led with “great force.” Netanyahu had vowed to escalate pressure with the aim of destroying the militant group that has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades.
    The military operation in the Palestinian territory came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump concluded his Middle East trip without a visit to Israel. There had been hope that his visit could increase the chances of a ceasefire deal or the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza, which Israel has prevented for more than two months.
    An Israel official said that Netanyahu was in constant contact throughout the day with the negotiating team in Doha, Qatar, and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, and instructed the team to remain there. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the sensitive negotiations with the media.
    Hamas, which released an Israeli-American hostage as a goodwill gesture before Trump’s trip, insists on a deal that ends the war and leads to the withdrawal of Israeli forces — something Israel said that it won't agree to.
    Israel’s army said on social media it wouldn't stop until the hostages are returned and the militant group is dismantled. Israel believes as many as 23 hostages in Gaza are still alive, although Israeli authorities have expressed concern for the status of three of them.
    More than 150 people had been killed in Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. It said more than 3,000 have been killed since Israel broke a January ceasefire on March 18.
    Gaza is in the third month of an Israeli blockade with no food, water, fuel or other goods entering the territory of more than 2 million people. Food security experts say Gaza will be in famine if the blockade isn't lifted.

    "We're just asking for fair — a fair contract We would like, like for the company to come to the table to be fair."
    9. Picketers hold up signs
    STORYLINE:
    Picketers in red shirts that said “United We Bargain Divided We Beg” carried signs and blared music not far from a NJ Transit train yard in the suburban Philadelphia town of Morrisville on Saturday.
    The locomotive engineers’ strike began Friday at the rail system with 350,000 daily riders and left commuters either working from home or searching for other ways to travel across the state or over the Hudson River to New York City.
    Talks aimed at settling a strike between train engineers and New Jersey’s huge commuter railroad will pick up on Saturday and continue Sunday.
    New Jersey Transit CEO Kris Kolluri spoke Saturday at Newark’s Broad Street Station, saying the agency is preparing for the workweek commute by “surging” buses to help commuters at train stations. However, he cautioned the buses can’t handle the entire volume of the commuter rail system.
    Bill Craven, a 25-year veteran engineer, described the mood among union members positively. He said they usually don't get to congregate because they're typically passing each other on the rails at 100 mph.
    “Most of us would much rather be running trains. That's what we do for a living. We don't want disrupt our lives, other people's lives, but it comes to a point where we haven't had a raise in six years,” he said.
    The walkout comes after the latest round of negotiations on Thursday didn’t produce an agreement.
    It is the state’s first transit strike in more than 40 years and comes a month after union members overwhelmingly rejected a labor agreement with management.

  • Witness describes the aftermath of the deadly car explosion in Palm Springs
    (18 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Palm Springs, California - 17 May 2025
    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rhino Williams, Explosion witness:
    "Yeah, so I was at work. I was talking to some hotel guests at work in the hotel. Walking a half away from where the incident happened. And we were just chatting away over some coffee and all of a sudden we had this big boom and a big rattle of a shake and I thought because we were so close to a hospital that one of the helicopters had an accident coming in. And, um... That might as well be my first thought, so I just... Bolted straight down towards the - towards the hospital. I don't know what I was going to do, but I could help in anyway. And then I noticed that there was a bunch of debris and stuff that got into Indian Canyon Road. Then I approached the scene. I saw the grey smoke. And I felt like the first guy on scene, there was some people around, but nobody was like approaching this, the area. And I was, you know, being very hyper aware of my surroundings, but I felt as... It's safe enough for me to go over there."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rhino Williams, Explosion witness:
    "And then. I saw the car, well, whatever the leftover of the car was on fire in the middle, debris everywhere. I noticed that the liquor store next door had ... all the windows blown out. And then I saw a little ramp area, like a wooden door that was like half broken out. So I put a t-shirt over my mouth and... ran over there and walked into the... Space, it looks like some kind of a reception area. I was like, you know. Bracing myself for the worst, but luckily nobody was in there, went in there. Ask anybody if there was... needed any help, didn't hear anything. I looked over the counter, there's nobody there. But the entire inside wall was completely blown in. And then... I was like, okay, nobody's there. I'll do a run around the perimeter. I'll just keep myself safe. And then I noticed that I went to the other side of the facility, I guess it is... Car was still burning."
    ++BLACK FRAMES++
    3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rhino Williams, Explosion witness:
    "I was getting up to go up to a ramp. To the other side of the building. And I saw these like warning signs about like, explosive gasses or whatever, you know, but they were all I guess like oxygen or whatever they use in the clinic, they all look like scuba diving tanks. Went there, and then some other security guard and a couple of the gentlemen started running towards us. And I just said, 'hey, let's get out of here just in case there's fire over here.' There's like canisters with explosives (inaudible) flammable signs next to them, probably not the smartest place to go. And then I noticed there was a tripod. With a smartphone attached to it, tucked underneath a tree. And I didn't touch it. That didn't notice that the screen was on. I just thought it was really strange. And as, as, as I was heading away from there the fire department turned up and they're... Some of them were already putting fire out of the building and then... Some of the fire guys were running with their... Protective masks and stuff towards the car fire. You know, I guess they protect, they zone out of the area. And that's it, and then I walked away."
    ++EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    STORYLINE:
    An explosion tore through a fertility clinic in the upscale California city of Palm Springs late Saturday morning, leaving one person believed to be the suspect dead in an attack the FBI characterized as terrorism.
    The Trump administration condemned the attack.
