- Buttigieg in Iowa, has criticism for Trump and Democrats(14 May 2025)RESTRICTION SUMMARY:ASSOCIATED PRESSCedar Rapids, Iowa - 13 May 20251. SOUNDBITE (English) Pete Buttigieg, Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation:"I mean, look, I take comfort in the fact that the president is unpopular. But there was a fact, by the way, that you might not know, not feel, if you believe some coverage of the internet, the President's unpopular, but that doesn't mean my side wins. Democrats do not have the best brand around here and a lot of places. There's a lot reasons for that, some fair, some unfair. I think the most important thing is that we connect everything we believe, everything we say, everything that we do to everyday life. I'm convinced that the only reason we have politics, the only other reason politics is worth being involved in, is because of how every decision that happens in the big white building in Washington D.C. finds its way into our everyday lives. And nobody knows that better than people who have been sent into war on the orders of people who sit in those big white buildings. But we've got to show that we're about that and not about what seem like these incredibly abstract things. We've got meet people where they are."2. Mid of Buttigieg posing for photos with supportersSTORYLINE:Pete Buttigieg returned to Iowa on Tuesday with some subtle and not-so-subtle messages about what's changed since he ran in the state's 2020 Democratic presidential caucuses.Buttigieg gave a strident critique of President Donald Trump's administration while demanding Democrats make their agenda clear and reach out to people who disagree with them."The President's unpopular, but that doesn't mean my side wins. Democrats do not have the best brand around here and a lot of places," said the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation."There's a lot reasons for that, some fair, some unfair," he told an audience of more than 1,000 in Cedar Rapids, his first public political appearance since leaving the Biden administration in January.It was a return to where Buttigieg emerged as a national political figure six years ago, when the millennial former South Bend mayor rose among a class of better-known Democrats to finish atop the Iowa Democratic Party's 2020 presidential caucuses.The combination rally and policy chat toggled between questions about the future of the Democratic Party, both nationally and in Iowa, after three consecutive elections where Donald Trump has carried the once-competitive swing state.Buttigieg acknowledged Democrats need to revisit some of their policy principles without naming any.A number of other potential 2028 contenders are traveling the country in the early days of the second Trump administration.AP video shot by Tom Beaumont===========================================================Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.

- New Zealand's unofficial fruit is the feijoa, not the kiwi, and part of the fun is in giving it away(14 May 2025)RESTRICTION SUMMARY:ASSOCIATED PRESSWellington, New Zealand – 8 May 20251. Close of feijoas fruitASSOCIATED PRESSWellington, New Zealand – 11 May 20252. Feijoas in bowls, some cut in halfASSOCIATED PRESSHawke's Bay, New Zealand – 6 May 20253. SOUNDBITE (English) Kate Evans, Author of "Feijoa: A Story of Obsession and Belonging": ++STARTS ON SHOT 1 AND PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 4++"Feijoas is a fruit that New Zealanders are weirdly obsessed with. It doesn't come from here, it comes from South America, but we've really embraced it into our culture in kind of really surprising and beautiful ways. And yeah, I would love for the countries that where it comes from, for the Brazilians and the Uruguayans, to know how much we love their fruit and how important it is to us. And also it's delicious."ASSOCIATED PRESSWellington, New Zealand – 11 May 20254. Feijoas on shed roof5. SOUNDBITE (English) Lizzy Ward-Pickering, local resident: ++OVERLAID BY SHOT 6++"It’s really gritty. It’s like a warm sweet, a little sour but like, gritty. I’m not a fan. It’s almost like a little bit bitter at the end. It’s like, it’s got the texture of, it’s like gritty, but then it’s also like snot. So it’s like dewy. There’s like little bits in here that are like dewy and it’s giving snot, snot and grits, but a little bit sweet and sour. But I’m not a fan. My mind has not changed."6. Two men removing feijoas from the roof of their shed7. Box of free feijoas outside houseASSOCIATED PRESSHawke's Bay, New Zealand – 12 May 20258. SOUNDBITE (English) Brent Fuller, New Zealand Feijoa Growers Association spokesperson: ++STARTS ON SHOT 7 AND PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 9++"Feijoas, they'll keep in the chiller for, say, two or three weeks, but that's about it. So, exporting is tricky, because you really have to air freight them to the location so that they get there quickly, which means the majority of growers supply the local market. As well as that, you've got a lot more regulations when you send fruit overseas, so, a lot more costs and curb when you're sending fruit overseas."ASSOCIATED PRESSWellington, New Zealand – 11 May 20259. Man selecting feijoas at a supermarketSTORYLINE:The unofficial national fruit of New Zealand isn’t native to the country – it’s South American.It isn’t exclusively found in New Zealand. And it’s not, perhaps surprisingly, the kiwi. It’s the feijoa.Known as pineapple guava elsewhere, the fruit — a green perfumed oval with a polarizing taste — can be purchased in California or Canberra.Yet no country has embraced the feijoa with quite the fervor or the fixation of New Zealanders.Due to its short shelf life, New Zealand — a nation of thriving fruit exports — has never been able to spin the feijoa into a global brand, as growers have done with apples and kiwi.But during the brief span of weeks each year when the fruit is ripe, the country goes feijoa wild.The feijoa’s allure comes partly from how it’s acquired.In autumn, fallen fruit forms fragrant carpets beneath backyard trees and is swept into boxes, bags and buckets to be offered for free outside homes, in office breakrooms and on neighborhood Facebook groups.There's such abundance that some feijoa lovers take pride in never having paid for one.Not everyone’s an enthusiast, and every New Zealander has an opinion.What devotees of the fruit savour as a distinctive texture, flavour and smell, is gritty, soapy or sour to others.Her daughter, Lizzy, gingerly slurped a piece of feijoa into her mouth and grimaced.Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWorkTwitter: https://twitter.com/AP_ArchiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/50cc32cd868b412c9699b4dfdeb02088--Support podtube.me continuity as a free service.

- In Congo’s rebel-held coltan mines, workers dig for the world’s tech – and barely survive(14 May 2025)RESTRICTION SUMMARY:ASSOCIATED PRESSRubaya, Democratic Republic of the Congo – 9 May 20251.

SOUNDBITE (Swahili) Jean Baptiste Bigirimana, miner: ++STARTS ON SHOT 1 AND PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 4++“I’ve been digging for seven years. I get 40 dollars a month, but that’s not enough. Children need clothes, education, and food. When I divide up the money to see how I will take care of the children, I realize it’s not enough.”4. Various of men mining for coltan5. Various of trader Bahati Moïse sifting through coltan6. SOUNDBITE (Swahili) Bahati Moïse, trader and reseller of minerals: ++STARTS ON SHOT 5 AND PARTIALLY OVERLAID BY SHOT 7++“These minerals don’t help us. Why? You hear that Tecno phones are made from the coltan we dig, but it doesn’t help us. The whole country, the whole world knows that phones are made from the coltan that comes from here, but look at the life we live. We really don’t see the coltan we produce helping us. We can’t continue like this.”7. Various of men working in the minesSTORYLINE:Deep in the green hills of Masisi territory in North Kivu province, the artisanal mining site at Rubaya hums with the sound of generators as piles of white dust dot the landscape.Thousands of workers extract, by hand, strategic minerals such as coltan, cassiterite, and manganese—essential for the production of phones, batteries, and other modern technologies.Eastern Congo has been in and out of crisis for decades with more than 100 armed groups, most of which are vying for territory in the mining region near the border with Rwanda.The conflict has created one of the world’s largest humanitarian disasters with more than 7 million people displaced, including 100,000 who fled homes this year.The Rubaya mine and surrounding area are under the control of the M23 armed group.Mines like these have been at heart of discussions around M23’s takeover of part of eastern Congo, with the Congolese government alleging they want control of the minerals and are smuggling them illegally to Rwanda.For the men working in Rubaya’s mines, little has changed, despite what some of them say are easier working conditions under the rebels.Jean Baptiste Bigirimana has been working in the mines for seven years.“I get 40 dollars a month, but that’s not enough. Children need clothes, education, and food. When I divide up the money to see how I will take care of the children, I realize it’s not enough,” he said, adding that he doesn’t know where the minerals he mines go once they leave Rubaya.In April, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the signing by Congo and Rwanda of a pledge to work toward peace in the region that would ease U.S. access to minerals in eastern Congo.Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi sought out a deal with the Trump administration that could offer the U.S. better access to his country’s resources in exchange for U.S. help calming hostilities.Congo and Rwanda hope the involvement of the United States — and the incentive of major investment if there’s enough security for U.S. companies to work safely in east Congo — will calm the fighting and militia violence that have defied peacekeeping and negotiation since the mid-1990s.Bahati Moïse is a trader who resells the coltan that leaves Rubaya’s mines.He said he just hopes that mine workers can be valued as much as the minerals they work so hard to extract.“We can’t continue like this.”Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWorkTwitter: https://twitter.com/AP_ArchiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/02c4fbb0c7634a56943fb1aed6037c8d--Support podtube.me continuity as a free service.

SOUNDBITE (English) Anamaria Baralt, Erik and Lyle Menendez's cousin:"So right, this is a step towards the parole process. Of course, June 13, they will meet with the parole board. And in the state of California, it's a pretty stringent process. So we are very hopeful. I thanked Mark. I thanked Cliff. There is an entire legal team. But ultimately, we are here today with this result because of Erik and Lyle, because they chose to live their lives with clarity and a purpose of service that the judge was impressed by. And so a huge thanks to them too for being the kind of people that we could bring home."++BLACK FRAMES++7. SOUNDBITE (English) Tamara Goodell, Erik and Lyle Menendez's cousin:"This is something my grandmother Joan has fought for for 35 years. I really wish she was here today, but I'm really excited to give her the news. Beyond that, I really hope that this sets the precedence for other LWOP inmates who have shown transformation and change and have done the same as Erik and Lyle and created careers for themselves and created new hopes for themselves while they have been incarcerated."++BLACK FRAMES++8. SOUNDBITE (English) Diane Hernandez, Erik and Lyle Menendez's cousin"Judge Michael Jesic followed the law, followed reasoning, and gave a hopeful resolution to this finally after 35 years."++EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++STORYLINE:Erik and Lyle Menendez will have a new shot at freedom after 35 years behind bars for murdering their parents, a judge ruled Tuesday.Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic reduced the brothers’ sentences from life without parole to 50 years to life.
