Tel Aviv, Israel - 12 May 2025

1. Various of relatives of hostages with pictures of their loved ones outside the U.S. Embassy

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Udi Goren, cousin of deceased hostage Tal Haimi:

"Since the very beginning of our catastrophe, the U.S. administration stood unequivocally with us. Not just with the hostage families, (but) with the entire Israeli and Jewish people. President (Donald) Trump and Special Envoy (Steve) Witkoff, you have left no doubt as for where your hearts lie when it comes to bringing all hostages back. Thirty-eight returned hostages are the absolute proof. Edan is the absolute proof. But 58 others deserve the same. President Trump and Mr. Witkoff, as business people, you know that once you've set a goal that you know is right, is just and is attainable, nothing should interfere with achieving it, especially not politics."

3. U.S. flag on embassy building

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Udi Goren, cousin of deceased hostage Tal Haimi

"President Trump, you have given all of our families hope today. We urge you to complete your mission and bring Tal and all the hostages back home. You will be remembered eternally as the president who was able to end the terrible hostage crisis so many have deemed impossible to solve. The deal that could not be made. Only you can make it happen. You have the full support and trust of the vast majority of the Israeli public. Over 75 percent stand behind you in your efforts to bring an end to our national misery and bring all 58 hostages back home. Thank you"

5. Wide of protest

STORYLINE:

Some relatives of Israeli hostages demonstrated in front of the U.S. embassy ahead of the expected release of an American-Israeli hostage on Monday.

"Since the very beginning of our catastrophe, the U.S. administration stood unequivocally with us. Not just with the hostage families, (but) with the entire Israeli and Jewish people. President (Donald) Trump and Special Envoy (Steve) Witkoff, you have left no doubt as for where your hearts lie," said Udi Goren, the cousin of deceased hostage Tal Haimi.

The protesters welcomed the imminent expected release of Edan Alexander as a goodwill gesture to the Trump administration, but there was also a degree of unease.

Edan Alexander was taken from his military base in southern Israel during Hamas' cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, which set off the war in Gaza.

His release would be the first since Israel shattered an eight-week ceasefire with Hamas in March, unleashing fierce strikes on Gaza that have killed hundreds.

Some said Alexander was singled out for freedom because of his American citizenship and said they were worried about the fate of the other 23 living and roughly 35 dead captives who remain in Gaza.

Some of the relatives of hostages also accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not doing enough to free their loved ones, saying his insistence on continuing the war in Gaza is politically motivated.

Netanyahu met Monday with the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff and the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, and discussed efforts to release the remaining hostages, his office said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - 12 May 2025

++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++

SOUNDBITE (English) Jon Gambrell, Associated Press:

"U.S. President Donald Trump will be coming to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I am now, as part of the start of his three-nation tour of the Middle East, and it comes at a really delicate moment. There's tensions that have just been gripping the region, and at the top of the list is the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Hamas has said it's going to release the last known living American hostage before Trump's arrival here as part of a goodwill gesture. Meanwhile, you have the talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. That's been a focal point of the president who says he does not want to see the Iranians build a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, you have the Iranian saying that they want to sanctions relief. Those sanctions have just absolutely crushed their economy. And you also had those American strikes targeting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Trump last week said that the Americans were going to stop those attacks because the Houthis, in his words, had capitulated to the American strikes. The Houthis say that they're not targeting the Americans right now, but are continuing to target Israel. Trump on this trip likely will see business deals signed between the different countries that includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. And meanwhile, there's likely going to be discussion about Qatar's efforts to try to potentially donate a 747 to Trump for his use as president and possibly for his presidential library further down the road. So there's a lot that's going be coming this week across this three-nation trip in the Middle East, and we'll just have to see what Trump does and says to try to ease these tensions gripping the region."

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East this week as scheduled won’t include a trip to Israel to discuss the war in Gaza or talks with Iran about its nuclear programme.

Instead, Trump will travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, three energy-rich monarchies home to existing or planned Trump-branded real estate projects.

These are places where he aims to leverage American economic interests to do what he personally revels in: making business deals.

But Trump won’t be able to avoid altogether diplomacy on Gaza or Iran.

The Gulf countries hosting him are also interested in easing the regional tensions.

Cannes, France - 12 May 2025

1. Wide, Cannes Film Festival chief Thierry Frémaux arrives at press conference

2. SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Frémaux, director of the Cannes Film Festival - on the opening film:

"Of course, this year we wanted to test a new experience. You will be seeing a first film, a first feature film. It's the first time the festival will begin with a first feature - it's only the third time Diane Kurys and Maïwenn, that a woman director will have the opening film at Cannes. It's a musical, it's a comedy. It's a very, very good film and it's quite wonderful to see - and I'm talking to the French public - it's produced by a French company, distributed by Pathe, a huge company which distributes a number of films by women directors have have gotten Cesars (awards). Everyone places their bets on Amélie Bonnin and we are doing so in tern. It is a short film and we will have dinner earlier in the evening as a result."

3. Wide of press conference

4. SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Frémaux, director of the Cannes Film Festival - on the impact of AI on cinema:

"We have all been trained in AI, the teams working on the festival in Paris. I couldn't be there because I was traveling abroad. We welcomed people from the team with my voice saying 'welcome.' It's scary, it'd frightening. In any event, it is a fundamental question. It's a question of society as well. More globally speaking it doesn't concern just the cinema."

5. Wide of press conference

6. SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Frémaux, director of the Cannes Film Festival - on Cannes being a predictor of success for films:

"Often the adventure (for films) begins in Cannes or other festivals. But Cannes is often viewed as a special festival. It takes place in the spring and usually the films that win the Oscars come out in the autumn, so maybe the schedule for Cannes is optimal. As you know 'No Country for Old Men' didn't get a prize here but it got awards in Los Angeles and there are other cases similarly."

7. Wide of press listening

8. SOUNDBITE (French) Thierry Frémaux, director of the Cannes Film Festival - on Trump's U.S. tariffs on film industry:

"The tariffs, maybe we should talk about this again in a year or so because they have only just been slapped on so I can't really answer a question which is based on declarations made by the U.S. president. For the past three months the president has started by saying one thing and then contradicts himself or adds further details subsequently so I can't really answer now. The idea that America would penalize foreign countries - I think this is an idea worth discussing. There is something we have noticed - in the months and years after Covid, 2022, there were fewer American films in the world and local production, national production therefore became more successful. The cinema always finds a way, of existing and reinventing itself. But we haven't reached that point yet. President Trump has made a statement but I don't have the economic knowledge to answer now."

Germany and Israel celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations this year but the Gaza war is dampening the mood.

Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier made an urgent appeal to his colleague Herzog and has called on Israel to immediately allow the delivery of aid to the suffering population in the Gaza Strip.

“The blockade on aid supplies must be lifted, humanitarian aid supplies, medical aid supplies - not sometime, but now,” Steinmeier said at a joint news conference with Herzog in Berlin.

“For us Germans, this was a gift that we could not have expected after the devastation of the Second World War and the civilizational upheaval of the Shoah,” he said according to German news agency dpa.

STORYLINE:

This is the former textile factory operated by Oskar Schindler.

The mostly derelict industrial area is in the town of Brněnec, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) east of Prague.

It was stolen by the Nazis from its Jewish owners in 1938 and turned into a concentration camp.

It has now opened as the Museum of Survivors, it's dedicated to the Holocaust and the history of Jews in this part of Europe.

Historians have described Schindler as a mass of contradictions: a troublemaker, a womanizer, a spy for the Germans, and a Nazi, but also a man who saved people from the Holocaust.

After the war broke out in 1939, Schindler moved from Svitavy to Krakow, now Poland, where he ran an enamel and ammunition plant and treated Jewish workers well.

With the Red Army approaching in 1944, he created a list of Jewish workers he claimed were needed to resettle the plant in Brněnec.

When a transport with 300 women was diverted to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, Schindler managed to secure their release.

Oskar's wife Emilie Schindler led an effort to save more than 100 Jewish male prisoners who arrived at a nearby train station in sealed cattle wagons in January 1945.

The opening was timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

It was also in May 1945 that Schindler received a golden ring from grateful Jewish survivors, made with gold taken from their teeth.

The ring was inscribed with the Hebrew words from Talmud, saying “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire."

Daniel Löw-Beer is a driving force behind the project.

“It’s very important today I mean it’s 80 years since the end of the WWII. We think this valley has been where we had lived for 4-500 years. Our world was cut in 1938 and we had to flee for our lives and lost a bit of our history. So putting a little bit of history back into a place hopefully bringing out as well the history of Oskar Schindler when he gave the ring 80 years ago and the village is what we are celebrating, if one can celebrate the end of the war but that’s what we’re doing today,” Löw-Beer.

STORYLINE:

Preparations are underway in the south of France for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Perhaps as much as ever, all eyes in the movie world will be on the 78th Festival when it gets underway tomorrow. That’s not just because of the long list of anticipated films set to premiere at the Cote d’Azur festival (including films from Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Lynne Ramsay, Richard Linklater and Ari Aster) and the extensive coterie of stars set to walk the fabled red carpet (Jennifer Lawrence, Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart among them).

As the movies, and the Oscar race, have grown more international, the global launchpad of Cannes has become only more central to the larger film ecosystem — even with the ongoing absence of Netflix. Recent editions of Cannes have produced a string of Academy Awards contenders, including this year’s best-picture winner, “Anora.”

At the same time, geopolitics course through Cannes unlike any other festival. The Cannes red carpet can be as much a platform for political protest as it is for glamour. This year’s festival will include a dissident Iranian filmmaker (Jafar Panahi), a Ukrainian filmmaker (Sergei Loznitsa) and the first Nigerian production in the official selection (Akinola Davies Jr.'s “My Father's Shadow”).

The 78th Cannes Film Festival runs from 13-24 May.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Moritsugu, Associated Press Beijing Correspondent:

“The U.S. and China have agreed to roll back most of the huge tariffs they imposed on each other last month, raising hope that the two sides will find a way to resolve their differences. The U.S. had raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145 percent. China had retaliated by increasing the duty on American imports to 125 percent. The high rates roiled stock markets and posed a serious threat to both economies.Under the agreement, the U.S. tariff will fall to 30 percent, and China will bring its rate down to 10 percent. China supplies everything from toys to iPhones to the United States. The tariffs could have jacked up prices for Americans and emptied store shelves. China could have lost millions of jobs. Faced with the prospect of severe economic disruption, the two sides found a way to avert an immediate crisis. Now comes the hard part. China exports much more to the U.S. than it buys from America. The question is whether the two countries will be able to agree on a way to reduce that imbalance – or tumble back into a trade war.”

Geneva - 11 May 2025

STORYLINE:

U.S. and Chinese officials said Monday they had reached a deal to roll back most of their recent tariffs and call a 90-day truce in their trade war to allow for more talks on resolving their trade disputes.

Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has aggressively used tariffs as his favorite economic weapon. He has, for example, imposed a 10% tax on imports from almost every country in the world.

But the fight with China has been the most intense. His tariffs on China include a 20% charge meant to pressure Beijing into doing more to stop the flow of the synthetic opioid fentanyl into the United States.

The remaining 125% involve a dispute that dates back to Trump’s first term and comes atop tariffs he levied on China back then, which means the total tariffs on some Chinese goods can exceed 145%.

Tariffs that high essentially amount to the countries’ boycotting each other’s products, disrupting trade that last year topped $660 billion.

Under the new agreement, "the U.S. tariff will fall to 30 percent, and China will bring its rate down to 10 percent", said the Associated Press Beijing Correspondent Ken Moritsugu.

Economists warned, however, that tariffs still remained higher than before and that the outcome of future talks was uncertain.

"The first (reason for PKK’s decision) is the integration of the (PKK’s) structure in Syria (referring to the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or YPG) with (the government in) Damascus. This was extremely important for the PKK. The acceleration of developments there (Syria) also accelerated the process. The second is that it accepts that the world has changed. In other words, it is extremely difficult to wage a national struggle with weapons in this age. It has expressed this in all its statements. The third is the change in Kurdish sociology. In other words, the Kurds in Turkey now want to make progress in politics. As such, the PKK stated that it has completed its mission and that the struggle from now on will continue in a political form."

"Ending a 40-year conflict is a great political success for the government. On the other hand, undoubtedly this process will also cause the government to get closer to the (pro-Kurdish) DEM party. If the government wants to make changes to the constitution, wishes to do so, or is prepared to do so, then the steps that have to be taken will make the process of constitutional amendments easier and more doable (with support from the DEM party)."

STORYLINE:

Residents of the mainly Kurdish southeastern city of Diyarbakir expressed hope Monday over the PKK Kurdish militant group's announcement that it will disband and disarm as part of a new peace initiative with Turkey, ending four decades of armed conflict.

The decision by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which promises to put an end to one of the longest insurgencies in the Middle East and could have significant impact in Turkey, Syria and Iraq, was announced by the Firat News Agency, a media outlet close to the group.

"Turkey has been tired of this war for 40 years," said one resident. Another, welcoming the news, said "I think it would be great if today was declared a national holiday. Because from now on, the blood of brethren won’t be shed, there won’t be any more martyrs."

The conflict between Turkey and the PKK has spilled over into northern Iraq and northern Syria, with Turkey carrying out numerous incursions into the neighboring regions. The PKK is listed as a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies.
