Anderson Cooper and other CNN journalists fled to a bomb shelter during a live broadcast from Israel after receiving a "10-minute warning of incoming missiles" from Iran overnight on Monday.
The 58-year-old was anchoring his Anderson Cooper 360° show from an outdoor terrace in Tel Aviv with CNN's chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward and Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond when their phones simultaneously chimed with an alert.
"So, these are the alerts that go out on all of our phones when you're in Israel," Cooper said. "It's a 10-minute warning of incoming missiles or something, incoming from Iran.
"So now the location we're in has a verbal alarm telling people to get down into bomb shelters. So, we've got a 10-minute window to get down into a bomb shelter. And we'll continue to try to broadcast from that bomb shelter, and even if we can on the way down."
Ward asked Cooper if "we should finish this," first, apparently referring to the segment. Anderson appeared to laugh and said, "Er, we should probably go down!"

Anderson then spoke to a colleague named Chuck off-screen, asking about their ability to remain broadcasting, and he was subsequently handed a microphone to allow him to continue on air as the group headed to realtive safety.
The camera followed the group through a hotel, which was broadcasting its own warning to its guests, as they walked through corridors and into an elevator before arriving at the shelter.

Gen Z's Important Message on Why Women Need To 'Zoom Out' Goes Viral
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. A 25-year-old woman who spent years picking apart photos of herself before posting—or deleting—them has shared a powerful message on Instagram, racking up more than 3.4 million views. Emma-Kirsty Fraser posted a candid photo of herself laughing with a friend alongside the caption: "ZOOM OUT, I beg. I think it's quite terrifying when you realize how much brainwashing it took to get you to zoom in and criticize yourself in so much detail?" The National Organization for Women (NOW) found that 53 percent of American girls say they are unhappy with their bodies by age 13. By 17, that number jumps to 78 percent. It is a statistic that resonates deeply with Fraser, who deleted nearly every photo of herself taken between the ages of 17 and 21. Two screenshots from the viral video showing a close-up of Fraser's arm and the full image, of Fraser and her friend.

Instagram/@ordinaryemm_ "I used to delete group photos if I thought I looked 'bad,'" Fraser told Newsweek. "I wish I hadn't. It was never about how I actually looked—it was how I felt about my body. Thankfully, that's changed, but I'll never get those photos back." In the video, Fraser zooms in on her arms, chin and legs before cutting back to the full image with the text: "Imagine the brainwashing required to get us to see this … instead of this." Fraser, who comes from South Africa, said she had a moment recently where she almost fell back into old habits. "I was at an event and got some photos back, and for a tiny second, I nearly zoomed in on myself," she said. "Then I just looked at the full picture and thought, 'Wow, I've come a long way.'" Just a few years ago, Fraser added, her appearance felt like the most important part of her identity. "Physical appearance was the most-important thing to me," she said. "I thought it was the most-interesting thing about me and that I had to uphold some sort of reputation for being disciplined, strong, skinny etc. "I was always viewing myself through this critical lens," Fraser added. She traces much of that mindset back to growing up around body-obsessed media and behavior. "It started with trash magazines," Fraser said. "And older generations picking apart their bodies in front of us didn't help." These days, she takes a more balanced approach. "I try to stay neutral," she said. "I don't let myself stare too long in the mirror. I don't go up close to analyze my face anymore. I realized no one else is looking at me that way—and, even if they were, I'm more than my body. And my body's more than how it looks." Fraser credits sport for helping shift her perspective. She said: "Sport reminded me that my body can do cool things. That's what I want to remember when I look back on my life. I want to have those photos—and the memories—to show for it." Fraser's video has drawn almost 30,000 likes and a flood of supportive comments. "At every point I was like, what is she talking about? Yeah, I see her arm?" one commenter wrote. "I assume you're pointing out imperfections, but I literally don't see them." Another posted: "The fact I saw this picture and ONLY thought about how it was such a beautiful candid and captured your vibe perfectly." And a third added: "Crazy part? What am I even looking at? The tattoos? Then I realized … it really is so sad. Instead of living and laughing with friends, we're worrying about this stuff."

'Quiet Couple' Get Noise Complaint From Neighbor, Then They Learn the Truth
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. A couple living in an apartment complex were baffled when their downstairs neighbor accused them of repeatedly dropping weights on the floor. Abby Haimson, 28, a nanny and grad student living in Charleston, South Carolina, was baffled when her neighbor began issuing noise complaints to her and her partner, insisting they could constantly hear a noise that sounded like a weight being dropped on the floor. As she told Newsweek: "We're a really quiet couple, so when the neighbor complaints started, we were totally confused. "We actually joked that the apartment might be haunted because we knew they weren't making it up, but we also couldn't figure out what could possibly sound like a giant weight dropping on the floor!" Cleo the Bengal cat walks across the door, before dropping down to the floor. Cleo the Bengal cat walks across the door, before dropping down to the floor. TikTok @haimabby But as the couple debated how to tackle the situation, they eventually discovered the source of the noise—their Bengal cat, Cleo. Haimson shared the story and the moment they caught Cleo red-handed to her TikTok account, @haimabby, on June 16, where it has been liked close to 125,000 times. In the video, Haimson lies in bed, recording Cleo who has taken a high-up position, walking across the top of the bedroom door. Suddenly, Cleo appears to get bored of being up high, and jumps from the door to the floor, where she lands with a thud—and the door swings behind her, slamming against the wall. Haimson wrote over the clip: "We were getting complaints that it sounded like a giant weight was being dropped on the floor. We were so confused realized this is the noise they were talking about." Haimson added in the caption: "Mystery solved. If you are my downstairs neighbor, I am so sorry! It was just Cleo being an absolute menace." She described catching Cleo "in the act" to Newsweek, and how it "all finally made sense" when they found her "launching herself off the top of the door." "We haven't spoken to our neighbors since figuring it out, but we definitely plan to let them know—and maybe show them the video as proof!" The moment they caught Cleo red-handed was shared to TikTok, where it amassed close to 125,000 likes.

The breed will play for hours, and are more interested in exploring and getting up to mischief than curling up on your lap. TikTok users loved Haimson's clip, viewing it close to 900,000 times, as one commenter admitted they were in a similar predicament with their downstairs neighbor accusing them of running "back and forth all night falling over into the bathroom," but revealed "it's my cats chasing each other." "We lived in an apt for a short time before our house was ready and I could have sworn the upstairs neighbors were bowling every night," another said. "I figured they must have some kind of animals with night time zoomies." "I can only imagine what my 20LB cat landing on the floor out of his cat tree sounds like to our downstairs neighbors," another wrote, with one adding: "omg haha my Bengal does the same thing." And as one put it: "I would not care AT ALL as long as I was welcome to come over and play with the cat." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Princess Kate and Sophie's Perfect Curtsy Moment Goes Viral
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. Princess Kate and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, timing their curtsies perfectly went viral on TikTok. The royal relatives looked in sync as they performed the royal gesture for King Charles III and Queen Camilla during the carriage procession for the order of the Garter service on June 16.

Princess Kate [R] and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, [L] attend the Order of the Garter service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on June 16, 2025. Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Why It Matters A clip of the moment they curtsied perfectly in time went viral on TikTok where it was liked 9,000 times and viewed 125,000 times. What to Know The footage shows the two women curtsy to Charles and Camilla at exactly the same time as they watch the procession. Royal curtsies have been debated in recent years since Meghan Markle famously performed a mock reenactment of the first time she curtsied to Queen Elizabeth II, which offended many, during her December 2022 Netflix show Harry & Meghan. Since then, there has been a greater focus on royal curtsies on social media sites like TikTok. The Order of the Garter is Britain's oldest code of chivalry and dates back to 1348 when it was created by Edward III. The royal family's website read: "In medieval times, King Edward III was so inspired by tales of King Arthur and the chivalry of the Knights of the Round Table that he set up his own group of honourable knights, called the Order of the Garter." The king and queen are both members as are Prince William and Sophie's husband Prince Edward. Prince Andrew remains a member despite his retreat from public life, which meant he skipped the service at St George's Chapel, thought the BBC reported he attended a lunch for knights and ladies of the Garter hosted by King Charles III. What People Are Saying The footage was posted with the message, "Curtsy. Synchronously🎀🪷," while one reply suggested it was a "very sweet" moment. After the service, Kate and William's official account on X posted: "A pleasure attending the Order of the Garter today in Windsor. A brilliant celebration of tradition, service and duty. Thank you to everyone involved." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
