    9. Supporters
    STORYLINE:
    Former Uruguayan President José Mujica, a onetime Marxist guerilla and flower farmer whose radical brand of democracy, plain-spoken philosophy and simple lifestyle fascinated people around the world, has died. He was 89.
    Uruguay’s left-wing president, Yamandú Orsi, announced his death, which came four months after Mujica decided to forgo further medical treatment for esophageal cancer and enter hospice care at his three-room ranch house on the outskirts of Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital.
    Mujica had been under treatment for cancer of the esophagus since his diagnosis last spring. Radiation eliminated much of the tumor but soon Mujica’s autoimmune disease complicated his recovery.
    In January, Mujica’s doctor announced that the cancer in his esophagus had returned and spread to his liver. In recent days, “he knew that he was in his final hours,” said Fernando Pereira, the president of Mujica’s left-wing Broad Front party who visited the ailing ex-leader last week.

    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Beeri, Israel - 14 May 2025
    1. Israeli President Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke arriving and laying a wreath next to a burnt olive tree
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German President:
    "The Kibbutz is not yet inhabited. The wounds are deep, families are grieving and we continue to wait for the return of the hostages for a life in safety. 585 days after the massacre, there are still hostages in the hands of Hamas including German companions. Their fate is an open wound. Germany will not forget them and I will not forget them. Our voice will not remain silent as long as they have not returned."
    3. Close of wreaths near burnt tree
    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German President:
    "At the same time, today we hear in a very real way the detonations in Gaza, and we know innocent people are suffering there too, children are dying there too. Violence, terrorism and destruction must never have the last word, our humanity must be stronger."
    5. Herzog and Steinmeier being showed plans for the new gallery to be built on the Kibbutz
    6. SOUNDBITE (English) Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German President:
    "The reconstruction of this gallery is a visible sign of our attitude against violence. It says the enemies of freedom can destroy buildings, can distinguish human lives, but they cannot defeat what we stand for. The Beeri you return to will be different from the one you left. It will know an unprecedented level of pain, of grief. And yet this place contains much more than this darkest day in history. The story of Beeri goes back so much further than the 7th of October 2023 and it's not over."
    7. SOUNDBITE (English) Isaac Herzog, Israeli President:
    "The fact that we are establishing, re-establishing this gallery as a place of spirit is what gives us hope and hopefully, truly, I truly hope and believe, that after the horrible period that we have gone through and going through, we shall see also peace in this region with our neighbors. So "with the help of God" (in Hebrew), as we say , let's hope that we inaugurate the beautiful gallery and that Beeri thrives and flourishes, and the region thrives and flourishes in peace."
    8. Herzog and Steinmeier with their wives planting trees
    STORYLINE:
    Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier remembered the victims of the October 7 2023 attack on his trip to Beeri with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
    “The wounds are deep, families are grieving and we continue to wait for the return of the hostages for a life in safety. 585 days after the massacre, there are still hostages in the hands of Hamas including German companions. Their fate is an open wound. Germany will not forget them and I will not forget them,” he said in his address on Wednesday.
    Beeri was one of the hardest-hit communities during the Hamas-led attack on October 7 2023.
    Steinmeier’s trip to Israel marks 60 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany.
    It followed Herzog’s state visit to Germany.
    The presidents were shown plans for a new gallery to be built at the place of the destroyed one and planted new trees.
    "The reconstruction of this gallery is a visible sign of our attitude against violence. It says the enemies of freedom can destroy buildings, can distinguish human lives, but they cannot defeat what we stand for," said Steinmeier.

  • Bosnian women set out to put their traditional dairy products on gastronomical map
    (14 May 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Ruda Glavica - 8 May 2025
    1. Various of a herd of cows grazing in a meadow, rolling hills and village houses in background
    2. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Dragana Milovic, president and one of the founding members of the Gacko Kajmak Producers Association: ++STARTS ON PREVIOUS SHOT; PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 3++
    “About four years ago, we established the association with the aim to protect and preserve our rural lifestyle and our traditional products, primarily the Gacko kajmak from the sacks. Last year we successfully secured (for the kajmak) the protected label of origin, which is the highest (original) product designation in our country. As I said, it still hasn’t been fully four years since we established the association and at first, we had nine founding members, but as time went by, new members kept joining so that right now we have 26 members.”
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Ruda Glavica - 9 May 2025
    3. Various of local cheesemaker pouring milk from shallow wooden bowl into a pot, keeping the cream in the bowl and scraping kajmak from the bowl with a spoon
    4. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Snezana Markovic, cheesemaker: ++STARTS ON PREVIOUS SHOT; PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOTS 5 AND 6++
    “We make the sacks from cow or sheep skins. Elsewhere, people use goatskins as well, but we don’t. When we slaughter a sheep, for example, we wash and shave its skin and then we shape it into a sack and dry it. Once dry, the sacks can be used to age kajmak, the Gacko kajmak, and cheese in them.”
    5. Close of arranged food trays on the table
    6. Close of cheese on the tray
    7. Close of kajmak in a serving bowl
    8. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Sanja Milosevic, cheesemaker: ++STARTS ON PREVIOUS SHOT; PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 9++
    “I am a member of the association and I have known some of these women for a long time and some I have met just recently, but we’ve built a great community, we get along really well and we are never jealous of each other’s sales or anything like that, sometimes we even sell to one another. We respect and love one another a lot and we travel everywhere together.”
    9. Group of women gathered around a table full of nicely served dairy and meat products, bread
    10. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Vukosava Milosevic, retired cheesemaker: ++PARTLY OVERLAID WITH SHOT 11++
    “Our products always stood out; I am not bragging, I am simply stating the facts. And since some 15 years ago we have been acquiring (appliances) that make the process more convenient.”
    11. Various of cows
    STORYLINE:
    Farming animals for food has long been an integral part of life in this rural region around Bosnia’s southern town of Gacko.
    But there is one particular dairy product that is special to this place: cheese.
    The thick, fatty spread is known locally as Gacko kajmak.
    The earliest record of it dates back to 14th century merchant contracts kept in the archives of the Ragusan Republic in Dubrovnik.
    And yet, nowadays, it is only well known and sought-after in certain parts of Bosnia.
    And a group of women from the area want to change that.
    “About four years ago, we established the association with the aim to protect and preserve our rural lifestyle and our traditional products, primarily the Gacko kajmak from the sacks," says Dragana Milovic, president and one of the founding members of the Gacko Kajmak Producers Association.
    "At first, we had nine founding members, but as time went by, new members kept joining so that right now we have 26 members.”
    The cheese is made of cow milks and aged in animal skin sacks.
    Milovic has a small building dedicated to the process.

    1. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Pegg, actor:
    "Well my daughter watched it with me last night because she can't come to the premiere because she's got her GCSEs. She's got like a history GCSE on the day after the premiere in the morning. She can't come. I told Tom the other day that she wasn't coming and he was so incensed he's like 'Why does she need to do exams?' I said 'Look, I've got to be strict here.'"
    (Reporter: "I love that, can Tom Cruise not give her a note not to do her exams?")

    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Los Angeles - 15 March 2025
    6. Wide shot DDG being interviewed at Rolling Loud music festival
    STORYLINE:
    A Los Angeles judge has granted a restraining order to “The Little Mermaid” actor and singer Halle Bailey, who says her ex-boyfriend, the rapper and YouTuber DDG, has been repeatedly violent with her and she fears for herself and the baby they have together.
    The judge on Tuesday ordered DDG, whose legal name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., to stay away from Bailey and their 17-month-old son, Halo, until a June 6 hearing.
    “Throughout our relationship,” Bailey said in documents requesting the order, “Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me. I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son Halo from his ongoing abuse.”
    A message seeking comment from a representative for Granberry was not immediately answered.
    Bailey, 25, and Granberry, 27, were in a relationship from 2022 until last year, and since their breakup there have been “multiple acts of physical violence," Bailey said.
    In a January incident that she recounts in detail, Bailey said Granberry was repeatedly calling her a “bitch” as she tried to strap the baby into a seat inside his car.
    “The next thing I knew, things got physical between us,” Bailey said in the documents. “We fought each other, wrestling and tussling. At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped. I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain.”
    Bailey included photos of her tooth and bruises on her arms in her filing.
    In March, she said Granberry entered her house when she wasn't home and texted her a photo of her bed along with a threatening message suggesting she was having sex with other men.
    A few days later, she said, he berated her when she did not want to send their sick baby on a visit with him, and smashed the Ring camera on her porch when he realized it was recording the confrontation. She said when she called a relative for help, he took her phone and got into his car, slamming the door on her as she was holding the baby. Bailey filed a police report over the incident.
    She also asked that Granberry be ordered to stop using his streaming platforms on Twitch and YouTube to turn his followers against her.
    “Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts bad mouthing me to his several millions of fans,” she said in the documents. “He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media.”
    Granberry was also ordered not to possess any weapons. The judge can extend the order for up to five years at the June 6 hearing.
    DDG, from Pontiac, Michigan, first saw success as a video streamer and then as a hip-hop artist. On May 5, he released his fourth studio album, “Blame the Chat,” on Epic records.
    Bailey, from Atlanta, has been nominated for five Grammy Awards as both a solo artist and as part of Chloe x Halle, the duo with her sister that first brought her fame.

    5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gideon Sa'ar, Israel's Foreign Minister:
    "I was informed that right now, while we handle this press conference, there are sirens in Jerusalem and center of Israel, after missiles from the Houthis in Yemen. Millions of Israelis are now running for shelter and it happens during the time that all the children go to schools or to kindergartens and this is daily life under these attacks. So I believe this is war crimes because it is targeting civilians. It is not targeting terrorists or even warriors. It is targeting civilians."
    6. Wide of reporter asking question
    7. SOUNDBITE (English) Gideon Sa'ar, Israel's Foreign Minister:
    "First of all, it is not a collective punishment and it is not a violation of international law, and I will explain why. In international law, you have to refer to two issues. First of all, whether the population is adequately supplied and I want to emphasise the fact that during the temporary ceasefire we had between January and March, during these 42 days, 25,000 trucks entered to Gaza Strip. So they had a lot of supply there after the temporary ceasefire, we also had witnesses speaking about these stocks, including hostages that returned from there. There is no famine in Gaza Strip, it is simply not true."
    8. Various of protesters outside the building with police
    9. Protester trying to film with mobile phone being chased by police
    STORYLINE:
    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told reporters in Tokyo that sirens were once again sounding across Israel on Wednesday morning after missiles were fired by the Houthi militant group in Yemen.
    "Millions of Israelis are now running for shelter," he said, describing the attacks as "war crimes" that target civilians.
    He also denied claims that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing famine due to Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid.
    "There is no famine in Gaza Strip, it is simply not true," he said at the Japan National Press Club as dozens of protesters with Palestinian flags gathered outside.
    During the briefing on the 10th floor of the building, a male voice was heard shouting, "Stop Genocide" and a staircase to the lower floor was temporary blocked.
    On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was “no way” Israel would halt its war in Gaza, dimming hopes for a ceasefire.

    STORYLINE:
    Syrians took to the streets in cities across the country to celebrate following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he will ease sanctions and move to normalize relations with the new government to give the country “a chance at peace.”
    Trump made the announcement shortly before he was set to meet Wednesday in Saudi Arabia with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, the onetime insurgent who last year led the overthrow of longtime leader Bashar Assad.
    Trump said the effort at rapprochement came at the urging of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi de facto ruler, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
    “There is a new government that will hopefully succeed,” Trump said of Syria, adding, “I say, good luck, Syria. Show us something special.”
    The developments were a major boost for the Syrian president, who had been imprisoned in Iraq for his role in the insurgency following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of the Arab country.
    Al-Sharaa was named president of Syria in January, a month after a stunning offensive by insurgent groups led by al-Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, that stormed Damascus, ending the 54-year rule of the Assad family.
    The U.S. has been weighing how to handle al-Sharaa since he took power in December.
    Gulf leaders have rallied behind the new government in Damascus and want Trump to follow, believing it is a bulwark against Iran’s return to influence in Syria, where it had helped prop up Assad’s government during a decade-long civil war.
    Then-President Joe Biden left the decision to Trump, whose administration has yet to formally recognize the new Syrian government. Sanctions imposed on Damascus under Assad also remain in place.
    Before Trump spoke, the White House said he had “agreed to say hello” to the Syrian president while in Saudi Arabia.
    The removal of the Assad family could change the track.
