Istanbul, Turkey - 16 May 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Serhii Kyslytsia, First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:

"It is potentially a very good end to a very difficult day that is a result of many weeks of work of our leaders, of the president of Ukraine, of the United States, of president of Turkey and our European partners, prime ministers and presidents. The tentative success of today's negotiations is still to be consolidated, that means that the pressure on the Russian Federation must continue, we should not really relax at this point.“

++BLACK FRAMES++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Serhii Kyslytsia, First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:

"And there are many issues that can be resolved if only the leaders (presidents) can meet, because given complexity of the issues and given the nature of the Russian Federation, where practically every single issue that is at stake can only be resolved by President Putin, we are looking forward to having the summit sooner than later.“

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

The first direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine since the start of the conflict in 2022 ended Friday after less than two hours, and a senior Ukrainian official warned Western leaders that "we should not really relax at this point“.

"The tentative success of today's negotiations is still to be consolidated, that means that the pressure on the Russian Federation must continue," added Serhii Kyslytsia, First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

He went on to say many issues could only be resolved by the presidents of the warring nations meeting face-to-face.

"Given the nature of the Russian Federation, where practically every single issue that is at stake can only be resolved by President Putin, we are looking forward to having the summit sooner than later,“ he told reporters in Istanbul, where the talks took place.

Before the the delegations adjourned, Kyiv and Moscow agreed to exchange 1,000 prisoners each, according to the heads of both delegations, in what would be their biggest such swap since the conflict began.

Both sides also discussed a ceasefire and a meeting between their heads of state, according to chief Ukrainian delegate, Rustem Umerov.

STORYLINE:

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says federal law enforcement is investigating a social media post made by former FBI Director James Comey that she and other Republicans claim is a call for violence against President Donald Trump.

 

In an Instagram post on Thursday, Comey wrote “cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for “86 47.”

 

Numerous Trump administration officials, including Noem, claimed that Comey was advocating for the assassination of Trump, the 47th president.

 

The post has since been deleted and said he didn't realize the number “86” could be associated with violence.

 

Comey, who was FBI director from 2013 to 2017, was fired by Trump during the president's first term amid the bureau’s probe into allegations of ties between Russian officials and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

"He's traumatized that he has nightmares about what, you know, what he experienced.

STORYLINE:

The New Jersey man convicted of stabbing author Salman Rushdie on a New York lecture stage in 2022 has been sentenced to serve 25 years in prison.

Hadi Matar was sentenced Friday in a western New York courtroom, where a jury found him guilty earlier this year of attempted murder and assault. The 27-year-old stabbed Rushdie multiple times, blinding him in one eye, as the author was about to speak at the Chautauqua Institution. Matar next faces a federal trial on terrorism-related charges.

Although the first trial focused mostly on the details of the knife attack itself, the next one is expected to delve into the more complicated issue of motive.

Basel, Switzerland - 16 May 2025

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Dean Vuletic, Eurovision expert:

"Eurovision continues to attract the attention of viewers because it is a tradition. It's Europe's biggest cultural event, it's been going on for almost 70 years and people love to watch it, not only for the show, not only for the glitter, the stage effects, the crazy costumes but also because they like to see it as a reflection of the zeitgeist in Europe. They like to see Eurovision engaging with political and social issues of the time, that politics can sometimes be a bit too much as last year but Eurovision just means so much to so many people in Europe."

4. Various of people taking photos in front of heart shaped objects

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Dean Vuletic, Eurovision expert:

"Well, this year, the bookies' favorite is Sweden, which, you know, tends to be the bookies' favorite very often. It's a song about taking a sauna. It's a very funny song sung in Swedish, the first time since 1998 that we have an entry in Swedish and this year what is very interesting is that around two thirds of the songs in the grand final are not in English and that is really a huge thing for Eurovision since 1999 when the language rule was changed to allow songs to be performed in any language. So we're seeing that viewers are also wanting more authenticity in Eurovision entries. They don't just want a standard pop song sung in English. They want to also see something about the culture of the country that the song represents and that we also see from the Swedish song."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dean Vuletic, Eurovision expert:

"There has been a formula in the past but I think formulaic approaches to Eurovision entries haven't succeeded in recent years. So, in the past it was about having a catchy, innocuous pop song, usually in English, but in the last 10 years or so we've seen songs become much more socially and politically engaged. So songs that, songs that present the audience with some sort of meaning and this has especially been the case since the Austrian bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst won in 2014. So no, in recent years the formulaic approach to a Eurovision entry hasn't succeeded. An entry needs to be memorable and it needs to be authentic in order to succeed these days."

STORYLINE:

There has already been triumph and tears, singing onstage and in the streets, and a touch of political division, as the 69th Eurovision Song Contest approaches its grand final in the Swiss city of Basel.

Musical acts from 26 countries will take the stage at the St. Jakobshalle Arena on Saturday in a spectacular, sequin-drenched competition that has been uniting and dividing Europeans since 1956.

Here’s everything you need to know:

What is Eurovision?

Eurovision is competition in which performers from countries across Europe, and a few beyond it, compete under their national flags with the aim of being crowned continental champion. Think of it as the Olympics of pop music or the World Cup with singing instead of soccer.

STORYLINE:

Police in Slovenia are investigating the disappearance of a bronze statue of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump that was sawed off and carried away from her hometown.

The life-size sculpture was unveiled in 2020 during President Donald Trump’s first term in office near Sevnica in central Slovenia, where Melanija Knavs was born in 1970.

It replaced a wooden statue that had been set on fire earlier that year.

Police spokeswoman Alenka Drenik Rangus said Friday that the police were informed about the theft of the statue on Tuesday. She said police were working to track down those responsible.

According to Slovenian media reports, the bronze replica was sawed off at the ankles and removed.

The original wooden statue was torched in July 2020.

The rustic figure was cut from the trunk of a linden tree, showing her in a pale blue dress like the one she wore at Trump’s presidential inauguration in 2017.

The replica bronze statue has no obvious resemblance with the first lady.

"Normally, you know, I'd start a press conference like this one by saying good morning, but for families and commuters here in Monmouth County and frankly all across New Jersey this morning is anything but a good morning. Their days are off to an unnecessarily difficult start. We're now roughly 10 hours into New Jersey's first rail strike in decades. And I want to make sure we get one thing straight up front. It did not have to come to this."

++BLACK FRAMES++

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Phil Murphy, (D) New Jersey:

"At this moment, our single highest priority in addition to making the system work, just as it has been for the past several months, is reaching a fair and affordable deal as soon as humanly possible. A deal that provides NJ Transit's employees, including our locomotive engineers the wages and benefits they deserve without being forced to raise costs on riders, commuters, and taxpayers. As I said last night here in New Jersey, we are proud to be the quintessential organized labor state."

++BLACK FRAMES++

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Phil Murphy, (D) New Jersey:

"It is frankly a mess of their own making and it is a slap in the face of every commuter and worker who relies on NJ Transit. But we're not here this morning to point fingers. We are here to demonstrate that our administration remains ready to get NJ Transit back to full speed and to provide the BLET (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen) members their hard-earned raises. So back to today, what the people of New Jersey need right now is for the members of the BLET to step up and meet their obligations to the public. Let's end this strike, as we just said to a couple of their good members a few minutes ago. We are, our doors are open. We are ready to restart negotiations literally this second. But we need the BLET to come back to the negotiating table in good faith. Our doors are open. They will remain open."

"This is not about not giving them a fair wage. It's about how do you do it in a fiscally responsible manner that doesn't bankrupt New Jersey Transit and puts it on a death spiral, like every other mass transit agency. That's the governor's only objective and that's my only objective."

++BLACK FRAMES++

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kris Kolluri, NJ Transit CEO:

"We, the governor and I, just had a chance to meet with the locomotive engineers who are out there. Just a few minutes ago. They were gracious to us. You know what they said to us? They wanna get back to work. That's great. We want them to get back to work too. But we said to them, we want to get back to the work, but we want to make sure you continue to work because what's the point of giving you a pay raise, if a couple of years from now your job is not going to exist? That's sort of what we're talking about in the most plain and simple terms."
