The family of a woman who fell on an active volcano have said "WE NEED THE RESCUE TO GET TO JULIANA URGENTLY!" as the rescue mission was delayed during its third day.
Juliana Marins, a 26-year-old Brazilian woman identified by her family and Brazilian authorities, fell from a cliff surrounding the crater of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia on Saturday about 6:30 a.m. local time.
"The park continues with its activities normally, tourists continue to hike while Juliana is IN NEED OF HELP! We do not know her health status! She has been without water, food and clothing for 3 days. We need help please! We need rescue for Juliana Marins," an Instagram account associated with Marin's family that has amassed almost 500,000 followers said on Monday.
It later posted: "We have confirmed information that two very experienced climbers from the region are heading to the site of Juliana's accident.
"We do not have information on whether they will be able to continue the rescue during the night, but we know that there is a good reinforcement with specific equipment to accompany the team that is already on site."

What to Know
Drone footage circulating online appear to show she was alive on Saturday, sitting and moving in grey soil. Mount Rinjani park authorities said on social media that rescuers heard her cries for help on Saturday.
On Sunday morning, rescuers could not find her when they descended 984 feet to where they believed she was located. Later that day, the rescue was hampered by adverse weather conditions, with park authorities reporting thick fog.
At 6.30 a.m. local time on Monday the victim was again "successfully observed using a drone, in a position stuck on a rock cliff" about 1,600 feet down, park authorities said.

What People Are Saying
The family's Instagram account said "At 4:00 p.m. local time, the rescue operation was interrupted due to weather conditions. However, it had already been announced that they would stop at dusk because they would not operate at night.
A WHOLE DAY and they advanced .. only 250m below, they were 350m away from Juliana and they retreated ONCE AGAIN! ANOTHER DAY! WE NEED HELP, WE NEED THE RESCUE TO GET TO JULIANA URGENTLY!
"The park continues with its activities normally, tourists continue to hike while Juliana is IN NEED OF HELP! We do not know her health status! She has been without water, food and clothing for 3 days. We need help please! We need rescue for Juliana Marins."
Speaking to Brazilian TV network Globo, one person who hiked with Marin said: "It was really early, before sunrise, in bad visibility conditions with just a simple lantern to light up the terrain which was difficult and slippery," he said.
Her father, Manoel Marins told Globo: "The embassy is not offering any support. The Brazilian government, which we've tried to contact, is also not helping us. This is very sad and extremely serious. She is a 26-year-old girl, a Brazilian citizen, and no one — except family and friends — seems to care."
Her sister Mariana told press: "She spent the night alone, missing, and now they no longer have visual contact with her because she's sliding down the cliff," "At first, they tried to reach her with a rope that was shorter than necessary and couldn't."
What Happens Next
The Brazilian foreign ministry has sent two embassy employees to monitor rescue efforts, according to a statement provided to the BBC.

Pam Bondi Clashes With Democrats at Heated House Hearing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday faced intense questioning during her first congressional testimony since confirmation hearings as lawmakers challenged the Department of Justice's (DOJ) proposed $33.6 billion budget for fiscal year 2026. The most heated exchanges occurred between Bondi and Democratic representatives, particularly House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, of Connecticut's 3rd District, along with contentious moments involving Representatives Madeleine Dean from Pennsylvania's 4th District and Glenn Ivey of Maryland's 4th District. The proposed budget represents a $2.5 billion decrease from current funding levels and would eliminate approximately 5,000 positions across the DOJ. Newsweek reached out to the Justice Department via email on Monday for comment. Why It Matters The budget proposal comes at a critical juncture, as the U.S. confronts intensifying conflict with Iran following President Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites. The timing has transformed what might have been a routine budget hearing into a debate over national security priorities, with lawmakers arguing that cuts to counterterrorism, counterintelligence and threat screening programs could leave the nation vulnerable. The approximately 7 percent budget reduction would significantly impact the DOJ's handling of both domestic law enforcement priorities and emerging international threats, including potential Iranian sleeper cells and cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. What To Know The confrontation began when DeLauro accused Bondi of trying to "whittle away" the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) through the proposed merger and budget cuts. Specific cuts include a 26 percent reduction to ATF, a 4.4 percent cut to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and a 34 percent slashing to the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program. The budget would also decrease funding for national security, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, threat screening and efforts to counter weapons of mass destruction. No funding is dedicated to the drug enforcement task force for organized crime. The ATF restructuring would eliminate 541 industry operation investigators, reducing the agency's capacity to regulate firearms and explosive industries by approximately 40 percent and resulting in fewer regulatory inspections. The agency anticipates losing approximately 284 support personnel and 186 agents through attrition. The proposed ATF-DEA merger requires congressional approval and was introduced through a memo by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche proposing broad changes at the DOJ. DeLauro accused the Trump administration of interfering with federal law enforcement's attempts to tackle illegal gun and drug trafficking, including fentanyl. Bondi also said that the FBI is monitoring potential Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S., including Iranian citizens who entered via the Mexican border during the Biden administration, as tensions escalate following Iran's counterattack on a U.S. base in Qatar. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies before the House Committee on Appropriations at the U.S. Capitol on June 23 in Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies before the House Committee on Appropriations at the U.S. Capitol on June 23 in Washington, Heated Exchange The most dramatic moment came when DeLauro directly challenged Bondi's proposed ATF cuts, leading to a series of interruptions and sharp exchanges. Bondi repeatedly emphasized that "ATF agents will not be knocking on the doors of legal gun owners in the middle of the night asking them about their guns"—a talking point she returned to multiple times throughout the confrontation. The intensity of the hearing ramped up when Bondi said, "As I was attempting to answer your question very calmly, unlike you," before being loudly interrupted again by DeLauro. DeLauro fired back: "Excuse me, Madam Attorney General, answer yes or no. Tell me what the numbers are now. I don't want to hear all of your filibuster about this." When Bondi continued her explanation about reorganizing ATF agents, DeLauro declared, "I don't have to listen, nor do my colleagues have to listen to a filibuster when it's a simple question," and proceeded to read the budget numbers herself from the department's own documents. Even when DeLauro cited the regulatory functions being cut, Bondi responded: "You mentioned regulatory functions. We will not be having ATF agents go to the doors of gun owners in the middle of the night, asking them about their guns. Period. They will be out on the streets with DEA." BONDI: I was attempting to answer your question. Very calmly. Unlike you. DeLAURO: Excuse me? Excuse me? Answer yes or no. I don't want to hear all of your filibuster. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 23, 2025 What People Are Saying All comments were delivered on Monday: DeLauro: "How can you justify such a massive cut without inevitably weakening ATF's ability to help our state and local law enforcement fight illegal gun trafficking?" Ivey: "Taking FBI agents off the street now … there isn't a worse possible time you could do it." Republican Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas: "When the DOJ submitted their budget, the United States was a nation at peace, and now we're a nation at war. I want us to, as much as we can, get ahead of it to give you the resources, the instruments that you need to go out and make sure that we're preventing things from happening, not waiting until after the fact." Bondi: "Of course, you can always do more with more, but we're doing more with less. It's a frightening time in which we live right now but President Trump is committed to keeping all Americans safe." Dean: "The same day Trump announced his chaotic tariff regime that plummeted the stock market, you sold more than $1 million worth of your shares in Trump Media? It fell 13 percent in the following days. It seems you avoided that loss. Well done." What Happens Next The proposed ATF-DEA merger requires congressional approval and represents part of broader DOJ organizational changes outlined by Blanche. Lawmakers will need to balance budget constraints against emerging security threats as they review the fiscal year 2026 appropriations.

Plea to Aussies after 'terrible' discovery in car park amid growing trend
An urgent appeal has been launched by authorities after three 10-week-old puppies, each suffering from a severe skin condition, were dumped in a car park last week. The puppies were left behind pet charity Safe Pets Safe Families in the Adelaide suburb of Marleston. They were rushed for emergency treatment as soon as they were discovered, with the dermatitis and alopecia they were suffering from likely a result of fleas or mites — something they probably had for several weeks and received no treatment for. It is unknown what breed the puppies are. The person allegedly responsible for the puppy abandonment was caught on CCTV, and the RSPCA are now appealing to the public for any information in a bid to identify them. "These puppies have been left in terrible discomfort," RSPCA SA Head of Animal Welfare, Andrea Lewis, said. "We urge anyone who has information about this case, or who can help identify those responsible, to please contact us immediately. We are also keen to locate the puppies' mother to ensure her welfare." Anyone with information has been encouraged to contact the RSPCA's 24-hour cruelty hotline on 1300 477 722. 🐶 Pet owner's urgent warning after dog almost dies following trip to beach 📬 Australia Post makes big move after alarming increase in attacks 🪦 New rule change legalises common pet act in graveyards Yahoo News has reported on countless incidents of puppy dumping, including dogs being ditched in bushland in Sydney's west, a box crammed full of newborns left in the blistering heat in a park and more found by the side of a road in Perth. There has been an increase in animal dumping in recent years, and animal welfare advocate Sarah Rose — who found the dogs in the bushland in Sydney last year — believes both backyard breeding and irresponsible pet ownership is driving the issue. "People need to understand before they purchase a dog in particular, there are long-term responsibilities that come with pet ownership, even if their circumstances change," she told Yahoo previously. "There is an animal welfare crisis and epidemic occurring with our companion dogs. It's an absolute disgrace. Backyard breeding must be outlawed, it is contributing to countless dogs being dumped."

Bumbling baby-faced NYC gangs that accidentally shot one of their own, hit bystanders get nailed by cops
They're the gangs that couldn't shoot straight. A bumbling baby-faced Bronx gang accidentally killed one of its own in a gunfight with a rival group — and its foes later fired 17 shots at one of them but missed, instead grazing a passer-by in the head, officials said Monday in announcing a takedown of some of the members. A member of the bungling gang that shot the innocent victim even admitted in a drill rap video just how badly the hit was botched — rapping, 'I don't know how we missed them,'' authorities said. Advertisement 'This is a lost generation,' Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said at a press conference unveiling the sweeping 208-count indictment against 19 members of the warring 9Raq and Thirdside gangs — none older than 23, with the youngest just 16. 3 Bumbling members of two teenage gangs have been indicted for a slew of shootings that have mistakenly wounded three bystanders — and killed one of their own — in the past four years. Obtained by the NY Post 'Youth are shooting people right here, right outside our very courthouses,' Clark said. 'They turn 161st Street, two blocks from Yankee Stadium, into a war zone. Advertisement 'The Bronx is bleeding, and I'm doing everything within my power to make it stop.' The young thugs committed a slew of crimes ranging from murder to grand larceny over the past four years in neighborhoods such as Claremont and Belmont — with adult gang members passing them their loaded weapons to take advantage of the state's 'Raise the Age' law that protects minors, authorities said. But the move may have come with a price. Alleged 9Raq member Nixon Rodriguez was fatally shot by a member of his own young crew June 2, 2023, on Olinville Avenue during a failed mission in rival gang territory, prosecutors said. Advertisement Last month, a Thirdside defendant also posted a drill rap music video to his Instagram admitting he took part in a botched shootout with 9Raq near a middle school in the early afternoon of March 30, authorities said. At least 17 shots were fired, but none of them hit their intended rival gang members. Instead, a bullet grazed a 22-year-old man in the head as he was driving by the corner in his car, Clark said. 3 The young gangsters have brazenly turned some Bronx neighborhoods into their own shooting galleries. Bronx District Attorney 'I don't know how we missed them,' the Thirdside gang member allegedly rapped in the video. Advertisement Multiple bystanders have been hit during other shootouts between the gangs, too, authorities said. When the two gangs exchanged gunfire Aug. 2, 2022, on Finley Avenue, at least one of the shots struck a 34-year-old passer-by in the lower back, officials said. During another 2022 shooting, a 75-year-old innocent man was wounded in the thigh, Clark said. 3 Mayor Eric Adams, flanked by Bronx DA Darcel Clark and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, ripped the gangs for their 'reckless disregard' of their communities. Tomas E. Gaston Six people were arrested last week in the gangs' takedown, while four gang members remain on the lam, and 10 others are already behind bars for other charges, prosecutors said. 'There's an endless flow of young people who believe as though they don't have a stake in tomorrow, so they are creating a reckless disregard on our streets,' said Mayor Eric Adams at the press conference, which was also attended by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. 'And when a bullet leaves the pathway of a gun, it often hits an unintended target,' said Adams, a former cop. Adams, Clark and Tisch said the state needs to re-examine its 'Raise the Age' law, which changed the age at which a child can be prosecuted as an adult. That age went from 16 to 17 in 2018 and from 17 to 18 in 2019, allowing those under 18 to be turned over to the family court system instead of regular court, where they could face stiffer punishments if convicted. Advertisement 'One of [the indicted suspects] has allegedly pulled the trigger at least four times. These aren't kids who just made one mistake,' Tisch told reporters. 'The takeaway is clear,' she said. 'our Raise the Age law needs to be re-examined because it removed the criminal consequences that prevent teens from escalating violence until they or their rivals are either dead or facing adult sentences.' Out of the gang members arrested, three have been arraigned and held without bail, one has been arraigned with bail set, and another has been arrested and is pending arraignment. Advertisement An additional Jane Doe, who was a part of the takedown but not charged as a gang member, was arraigned and held on bail.
