1. Mexican navy ship with its mast brushing the Brooklyn Bridge

STORYLINE:

A Mexican navy ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday during a promotional tour in New York City, the top of its mast brushing the iconic span as it sailed through the East River.

The New York Fire Department press desk confirmed that authorities were responding to injuries but had no details about how many people might have been hurt or whether they were on the vessel or on the bridge.

Eyewitness video of the collision showed the mast of the ship, which was flying a giant green, white and red Mexican flag, scraping the underneath of the bridge. The vessel then drifted toward the edge of the river as onlookers scrambled away from shore.

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 Secretary of the Navy renews its commitment to the safety of personnel, transparency in its operations and excellent training for future officers of the Mexican Armada,” it said in Spanish.

The Cuauhtemoc is a vessel that sails at the end of classes at the Mexican 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 ship was scheduled to visit 22 ports in 15 nations, including Kingston, Jamaica; Havana, Cuba; Cozumel, Mexico; and New York.

It had also planned to go to Reykjavik, Iceland; Bordeaux, Saint Malo and Dunkirk, France; and Aberdeen, Scotland, among others, for a total of 254 days — 170 at sea and 84 in port.

"We’re in a dangerous spot right now, the farm (where the bird flu outbreak happened) is close to us, so being extra careful at times like this is essential."

12. Workers with the poultry

STORYLINE:

Authorities in Rio Grande do Sul, where Brazil’s first case of bird flu in commercial poultry was confirmed, are setting up disinfection barriers to contain the outbreak.

The measures aim to prevent the virus from spreading to other farms and protect Brazil’s massive poultry industry, one of the world’s largest exporters.

Mexico, Chile and Uruguay have halted poultry imports from Brazil after the country confirmed its first bird flu outbreak on a commercial farm, authorities said Saturday.

On Friday, Brazil's Agriculture and Livestock ministry said China and the European Union had halted poultry imports from Brazil.

Mexico's National Service for Agro-Alimentary Health, Safety and Quality said in a statement Saturday that it suspended temporarily the import of chicken meat, fertile eggs, live birds and other poultry products from Brazil as a precautionary measure.

Chile and Uruguay have also halted poultry imports, Luis Rua, secretary of international trade at Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, told local news service Broadcast Agro.

Brazil is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of poultry, accounting for 14% of global chicken meat production, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

An egg shortage in the United States following a bird flu outbreak there boosted Brazilian egg exports to the U.S., rising by more than 1,000% between January and April 2025, compared to the same period the previous year, according to trade data from the Brazilian government.

Israel's relentless bombardment forced Palestinians to flee their homes and shelters in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp on Saturday.

Many families were seen walking in the streets, carrying whatever they could of their belongings.

"We live in terror, we wake up in terror and we sleep in terror, our children are terrified. We have no food or drink," one displaced man, Tamer Hussin, told The Associated Press as he left the area.

Israel said Saturday that it has launched a major operation in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release remaining hostages, following days of strikes across the Palestinian territory that killed hundreds of people.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Operation Gideon Chariots was being led with “great force.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed to escalate pressure with the aim of destroying the militant group that has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades.

A powerful storm hit northern Buenos Aires Province in Argentina on Friday and Saturday, flooding at least 15 districts.

Over 4,100 people were evacuated, with many rescued from homes overtaken by rising water.

Heavy rainfall—between 200 and 400 mm—was recorded overnight.

The authorities of the city of Campana, 46 miles (75 kilometers) north of the capital Buenos Aires, made a call for donations of shoes, clothes, cleaning supplies, and drinking water through social media.

On Saturday, emergency teams and neighbors distributed the donations to the most affected people, many of whom remained on the second floors of their flooded homes.

The storm also shut down national highways 8 and 9, and disrupted multiple provincial routes and bridges connecting Argentina to Brazil and Uruguay.

STORYLINE:

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson exited the red carpet in Cannes on Saturday night following the premiere of the Palme d'Or-nominated "Die, My Love," directed by Lynne Ramsay.

It's Ramsay's first feature since her prize-winning crime drama "You Were Never Really Here."

Eight years ago, the festival awarded "You Were Never Really Here" its best actor prize for Joaquin Phoenix, and honored Ramsay with the best screenplay award, tied with Yorgos Lanthimos' "Killing of a Sacred Deer."

This time, Ramsay shared writing duties with "Hunger" screenwriter Enda Walsh to adapt Ariana Harwicz's novel.

Transporting the story from France to rural America, the film is billed as a portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness.

Ramsay, whose 2011 adaptation "We Need to Talk About Kevin" was also nominated for the Palme, served on the festival's features jury herself in 2013.

Pattinson is also a Cannes regular, having featured in previous Palme nominees "Good Time" (2017), "Maps to the Stars" (2014) and "Cosmopolis" (2012).

STORYLINE:

Star Wars fans gathered this Saturday for the second edition of the “Parade of the Galaxies,” an event featuring a variety of cosplayers who showcased their best costumes along a main avenue in Santiago.

The event takes place in the month when the saga is celebrated, in honor of May 4th, known as Star Wars Day.

On this date, fans of the franchise greet each other with the traditional phrase, “May the Fourth be with you,” a play on the iconic line from the films: “May the Force be with you.”

One of the favorite characters of the Chilean fandom of the saga is undoubtedly Mando, the main character of The Mandalorian, played by Chilean actor Pedro Pascal.

Fernando Montserrat, with a remarkable resemblance to Pascal, impersonated him during the event and said he was proud of his countryman and his performance in the saga.

"Everything Pedro has done is admirable because he never gave up. It’s part of a process that took a long time, and we’re proud of him." he said.

According to the organizers, approximately 500 people registered to participate and marched along a 2-kilometer route.

The event concluded with a presentation of replica droids from the saga, including the iconic R2-D2.
