East Lansing, Michigan – 28 July 2025

1. Various of cows arriving at Michigan State University’s new Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research Center

2. SOUNDBITE (English) George Smith, MSU AgBioResearch director:

“Well, this is a monumental day for Michigan agriculture on the Michigan State University campus, because it's a new beginning. We are moving animals into our new state-of-the-art Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research Center.”

3. Various of dairy cattle being herded toward their new enclosure

4.SOUNDBITE (English) George Smith, MSU AgBioResearch director:

“And it's really going to be exciting to see that 21st century cattle drive as those animals walk over from the old facility to our new facility. Now, this will be a gradual process. So, we're not moving the entire herd today, but rather some initial animals to help them get acclimated to the new facility.”

5. Various of cows beginning to exit their old home

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Kim Dodd, Michigan State University Veterinary Medicine dean:

“For years, we've been limited in what we could do in terms of dairy cattle research, because of the size and capabilities of the previous facility. This new facility will increase the number of cattle by two-and-a-half to three times, allowing us to tackle multiple high-priority research efforts all at once.”

7. Various of dairy cattle in their new home

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Kim Dodd, Michigan State University Veterinary Medicine dean:

“Our old facility didn't have the technical capabilities to be able to train our students for what to expect when they graduated, what dairy cattle production looks like today.”

9. Cattle on the move

10. SOUNDBITE (English) George Smith, MSU AgBioResearch director:

“While other institutions are disinvesting in dairy programs, we are investing in the future of the dairy industry in the state of Michigan, because it's so critical to the state's agricultural economy.”

“And beyond that, who doesn't love ice cream? So, who can't get excited about new opportunities in the field of dairy science?”

14. A cow approaches and moos

STORYLINE:

Dozens of dairy cattle were on the moo-ve Monday at Michigan State University.

About 80 cows were transported to their new home, the Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research Center, a $75 million facility the East Lansing school says will allow students to learn on a modern farm that’s equipped to replicate even the most high-tech operations in the world today.

George Smith, who heads up Michigan State’s AgBioResearch department, called it a “21st century cattle drive.” The remaining 180 cows are expected to be walked from the old building to the new one on Tuesday.

The new complex is significantly larger than the existing dairy farm, which was constructed in the 1960s and was so limited that researchers have a backlog of... [truncated]

If Cambodia doesn’t do what it should do, it will look very bad before the international community. If so, the world will stand on our side”

8. Wide of media

9. Phumtham departs

STORYLINE:

Thailand’s acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, said that U.S. President Donald Trump called him to offer his congratulations following the ceasefire agreement he struck in Malaysia, earlier Monday, with Cambodian leader Hun Manet to halt five days of fighting with Cambodia along their mutual border.

The Malaysian meeting followed direct pressure from the president who had warned that the United States may not proceed with trade deals with either country if hostilities continue.

“President Trump from the US called me to congratulate and praise Thailand’s bravery in opening our minds and acting as an example to make peace between two countries and he praised our decision that will bring great benefit for both countries”, he told reporters after arriving back from Malaysia.

Phumtham thanked Trump for the part he played and said Trump told him that Monday’s successful outcome would be reflected in the results of efforts to negotiate a trade deal.

Thailand currently faces a tariff rate of 36%.

“After this, the tariff negotiations will start and we will see a benefit. What we get will be a great deal. He will do his best and give us as favorable terms as he can” he said.

The unconditional ceasefire takes effect at midnight Thai and Cambodian time, following fierce fighting that each blames the other for starting.

At least 35 people have been killed. Nationalist passions have been roused in both countries and there is a deep lack of trust. Phumtham told reporters that time will tell if it holds.

“It will be a good start at midnight. We have to understand that the situation is ongoing along the 80... [truncated]

“The flood came rushing in, just like that, so fast and suddenly. In no time at all, the place was filling up. We didn’t even have time to move things. We tried to lift things. But before we could, the water was already pouring in. It was all so quick.”

8. Various of Zhuang’s family showing flood damage

9. Various of damaged road and running water

STORYLINE:

Heavy flooding on the outskirts of China’s capital city of Beijing damaged roads and infrastructure, as local residents cleaned debris and assessed damage on Monday.

In Taishitun Town, about 100 kilometers from central Beijing, tree branches and debris were swept downstream of the Chao River.

Torrential rainfall from Sunday night into Monday morning uprooted trees and knocked down power poles.

“A storm like this only comes once in a century,” said Mr. Xia, a 59-year-old resident. “I’m nearly 60, and I’ve never seen rain like this in my life.”

Along the town’s main street, Zhuang Zhelin and his family were clearing mud from their building materials shop. In the backyard, their farmland was submerged. Muddy waterlines were clearly visible on stacked boxes inside the shop.

Zhuang recalled waking up to find floodwater already pouring in.

“The flood rushed in—so fast, so sudden,” he said. “We didn’t even have time to move things. We tried to lift what we could, but the water came in too quickly.”

Next door, Zhuang’s neighbor Wei Zhengming, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, shoveled mud in his clinic.

As of Monday afternoon, petrol stations in the town were out of service due to power and internet outages. Trucks carrying rescue teams arrived to assist residents in clearing streets and draining waterlogged areas.

More rain is forecast for Monday night, and Beijing has raised its emergency flood response level citywide.

The event in the center of Kyiv drew many families, including the mothers, wives and children of soldiers who were killed at Olenivka or who are currently imprisoned by Russia.

Tetiana Vyshniak is waiting for her son Artem, who was captured in Mariupol, for 38 and a half months and was convicted by a Russian court.

"They protected us, now we must protect them and bring them home," she told The Associated Press.

Stockholm, Sweden - 28 July 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Jamey Keaten, The Associated Press: ++PART OVERLAID++

“Top officials from the U.S and China have arrived here in Stockholm for two days of talks aimed to defuse tensions over tariffs between the world’s two largest economies. The talks, led by the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bassett and Chinese Vice Premier Li Fang, are aimed to help reduce the tariff levels set by the Trump administration earlier this year, and Chinese retaliatory measures. Analysts expect an extension of the 90 day pause in the highest tariff levels in anticipation of a meeting later this fall between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President XI Jinping. The tariffs have come down from peak levels earlier this year that roiled world markets and now stand at about 30%. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods and 10% tariffs on U.S. goods exported to China. The United States is eager to bring down its massive trade deficit with China, which stood at nearly $300 billion last year, and encourage more domestic consumption in China, particularly for U.S. goods. China wants to see a reduction in the highest tariff levels because of the importance of its manufacturing base and its export led economy.

STORYLINE:

Top trade officials from China and the United States arrived for talks in Stockholm on Monday over tariffs set by the Trump administration that sparked retaliation by Beijing.

Analysts say the two days of meetings led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are likely to lead to an extension of current tariff levels that are far lower than earlier this year at the peak of the trade standoff.

Instead, the two envoys are expected to help set the stage for a possible meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year.

The talks are the third this year between He and Bessent -- nearly four months after Trump upset global trade with his sweeping tariff proposal, including an import tax that shot up to 145% on Chinese goods.

After talks in Geneva in May and London in June, the Stockholm meeting is set to extend a 90-day pause on those sky-high tariffs that have since been lowered to U.S. taxes of 30% on Chinese goods, and China responding with a 10% on U.S. products.

The U.S. seeks an agreement that would enable it to export more to China and shift the Chinese economy more toward domestic consumer spending.

China has said it’s seeking “more consensus and cooperation and less misperception” from the discussions.

The two sides could take up issues of China’s industrial o... [truncated]

“This type of ox was once the main work animal in Istria. In the old days, we couldn’t have survived without them. We relied on them for everything. Today things are different. But even so, Boskarin is seen as a symbol of Istria because they used to feed us, basically. Every single family that worked the land used to own at least one, and used it for farm work.”

“I still own a couple, but I don’t use them for ploughing or to pull carts. I keep them because of affection and tradition, to save them from disappearing. Boskarin was the only animal which wore a yoke, but I’m not too sure if their masters, who walked beside them, had it any easier. Boskarin oxen walk with a heavy gait, they are slow but resilient. They also have very hard hooves, so they don’t need horseshoes. And people who worked with them also had to have hardened hands.”

“Around that time (in the late 1980s) people began realizing that this breed, called Istrian cattle – and especially the Istrian ox, which is a castrated Istrian bull – is highly endangered, and that there are very few of them left. So this is how this event started, to raise awareness about this critical situation. That first year there were only seven or eight oxen, found throughout Istria. Today, 35 years later, the situation still isn’t great, but it’s much better – we have about 30 of these living in Istria. And in fact I think this event is one of the reasons why people still breed them and take care of them. Istrian people traditionally have this habit of showing off and putting on display the best things they have – and Boskarin oxen are really the most beautiful animals they have, so farmers are keen to show them to the world.”

It consists of a 500-metre floor, which is placed at a height of 5 meters to allow even people who will be farther away to see, since there will be kids who will be even 2 kilometres away.

Workers were rushing to complete the giant 5-metre high altar-stage, security infrastructure and hydration points ahead of the two-day vigil and Mass with Pope Leo XIV, described by Vatican organiser Monsignor Rino Fisichella as “the most anticipated moment” of the Jubilee calendar.

Alessandro Mancini, the engineer in charge of the Tor Vergata Jubilee site, said the stage's elevation will mean that everyone will be able to see the Mass.

Tor Vergata will open to pilgrims on August 2 for a full day of music, performances and prayer ahead of an evening vigil with the pope.

After spending the night on site, participants will attend a Mass presided over by the Holy Father from the main stage on the morning of Sunday August 3, marking the closing celebration of the Youth Jubilee.
