(ABC 6 News) — The vendor hired to run Rochester’s Fourth of July fireworks display has committed to doing a replacement show at a later date after only part of the scheduled fireworks display was presented during the July 4 celebration. J&M Displays, Inc. said it “regrets” that only part of the fireworks show was able to happen and said it was due to a combination of severe weather conditions and crew heat exhaustion. In a press release shared by the City of Rochester, J&M Displays said the show was moved up to 9:30 p.m. because of storms approaching the area, but the the combination of extreme heat experienced throughout the day and earlier than planned start time did not allow crews to fully complete the setup of the full display. J&M Displays said safety is always the highest priority for its crew and the public. The company said in the press release it plans to provide the city with a new fireworks display at no cost on a date selected by city officials.  » Read More

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back in an interview with Fox News on Sunday against US Vice President JD Vance’s recent claim that US President Donald Trump is Israel’s only ally, insisting that Jerusalem still has “many friends” around the world, while still highlighting its unique relationship with Washington. Netanyahu also took the opportunity to reiterate that he and Trump share the same goals when it comes to Iran, but stressed that even if Washington doesn’t reach a nuclear deal with Tehran, he will ensure that it never obtains a nuclear weapon so long as he is prime minister. The premier was questioned during the interview about public disagreements between Washington and Jerusalem over the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran to end the war that began on February 28. Israel was not a party to the agreement and is not involved in the resulting negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, but was nevertheless required by it to halt its fight against the Islamic Republic. Israeli officials have made their displeasure over the terms of the agreement known,  » Read More

The Tibetan New Yorker who set himself on fire outside the United Nations to protest the Chinese occupation of his native home livestreamed his death, officials said Saturday. Lobga Rangzen also recorded a six-minute appeal for Tibet’s freedom and independence in his native language before putting on traditional monastic robes and walking to 42nd St and First Ave. around 6:30 p.m. Thursday. “So if I do a big action today, I want you to know it is not for any personal reason,” he said in the video. “It is not because I have nothing to eat or nothing to wear, but because I am doing this for my country. For the Tibetan nation.” Outside the U.N. he put his phone down on the street and recorded his self-immolation. The extremely graphic video posted online shows Rangzen walking to a spot on the street carrying a Tibetan flag. A moment later, his entire body erupts in flames. Fliers reading “China out of Tibet” in his hands catch fire as they’re tossed onto the street.  » Read More
