CUBA — Understated opportunities for joy: A man floats in a container on a street flooded by the passing of Hurricane Helene, in Batabano, Mayabeque province, Cuba, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024. The hurricane made its U.S. landfall at Florida’s Big Bend on the Gulf Coast Thursday night with flooding and high winds, leaving millions without electricity. Helene then headed up western Georgia and hit the Carolinas hard on Friday morning and early afternoon, causing more flooding and spawning tornadoes in Durham and other counties in central North Carolina. Four people were critically injured, and numerous others sustained minor injuries after a tornado touched down in Rocky Mount, North Carolina (Nash County), officials said. The entire state was under tornado warnings or watches at the time. Three buildings — including two restaurants and an auto service center — were badly damaged. A neighboring cafeteria sustained roof damage. The storm then headed out to sea by late afternoon Friday.

Thirty-five people have died in the hurricane since it reached Florida on Thursday night.

WASHINGTON — Alliances, campaigns & war efforts, oh my! Vice President Kamala Harris meets with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024, in the vice president’s ceremonial office inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday denounced suggestions that Kyiv should cede territory for the sake of peace with Moscow, saying, “They are not proposals for peace. Instead, they are proposals for surrender.”

Harris also criticized her political opponent, Donald Trump, for speaking against U.S. aid to Ukraine and praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump finally announced his plans to meet on Friday with Zelenskyy after days of questions over his willingness to confer with the Ukrainian president.

JAKARTA — Masks give a superhero quality to protesting: Masked activists take part in a Global Climate Strike rally in Jakarta, Indonesia, Friday, Sept. 27, 2024. They are angry about the consequences they see from climate change: increases in water temperatures, severity of storms, droughts, sea levels and shifts in local ecosystems.

Being an island archipelago nation, Indonesia depends on its ocean economy.

PANAMA — Going through the rings from one country to another: Panamanian police inspect the luggage of Francismar Acosta, from Venezuela, in Lajas Blancas, Panama, after she trekked across the Darién Gap from Colombia with her daughter Adhara Figueroa, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024.

The Darién Gap (also called the Tapón del Darién) connects the American continents, stretching across southern Panama’s Darién Province and the northern portion of Colombia’s Chocó Department. It has diverse but challenging topography and a harsh environment, so a hike across the region is not for the faint of heart.

PARIS — It’s not a spring collection without florals: A model wears a creation as part of the Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2025 collection presented on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, in Paris. Issey Miyake, who died in 2022, was renowned for his technology-driven clothing designs, exhibitions and fragrances. L’eau d’Issey became his best-known product.

Miyake was born in Hiroshima seven years before the U.S. dropped the bomb there. He originally aspired to be a dancer. But then his sister’s fashion magazines also fascinated him.

CARACAS — The voice of protest as an ongoing echo: Marelys Ruiz holds an image of her detained 16-year-old nephew Angel Ramirez during a protest outside the Attorney General’s office, in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024. Relatives of detained youths protested months after youths were arrested amid a government crackdown on anti-government protests against election results.

The Spanish-language flyer Ruiz holds declares, “Our boys are not terrorists.” It gives young Angel’s story: he was a student at a technical school at the time that authorities removed him from his home and charged him with terrorist charges because he was unhappy with the election.
