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.

U.K. Culture Sec. condemns Bob Vylan Glastonbury performance, demands answers from BBC
The British culture minister condemned punk-rap duo Bob Vylan during a June 30 statement to Parliament that noted that statements made during a June 28 performance at the Glastonbury festival were under criminal investigation. "Let me be clear that this government will not tolerate anti-Semitism," Lisa Nandy, U.K. Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport, told the House of Commons from the Labour's dispatch box. "It has no place in our society. It is a poison and a cancer that must be rooted out, and we will be relentless in our work to do so." Avon and Somerset Police said in a June 30 statement that "further enquiries are required and a criminal investigation is now being undertaken" regarding the performances of Bob Vylan and Irish rap trio Kneecap. Bob Vylan led chants of "Death, death, to the IDF" referring to the Israel Defense Forces, the formal name of the Israeli military. Kneecap frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh led chants against Labour Prime Minister Kier Starmer and accused Israel of committing war crimes, saying: "There's no hiding it." The U.S. State Department revoked the visas of Bob Vylan members on June 30, citing the performance. Culture secretary demands answers from BBC, health secretary tells Israel to get "house in order" Nandy told the Commons that she would seek answers from the BBC, which streamed the festival, on why the feed from the West Holts stage was not cut. "Given the concerns regarding other acts in the weeks preceding the festival, why the feed wasn't immediately cut when the chants of death to the IDF began and what due diligence was done prior to the decision to broadcast this particular act to the nation," Nandy said. The BBC said in a statement condemning the performance that it regretted not pulling the stream. "The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines," the broadcaster said. "The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance." Glastonbury organizers condemned Bob Vylan's performance in a June 29 Instagram post. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said it was appalling that the comments had been made on stage, adding that he was also appalled by the violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. "I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News. "I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens toward Palestinians more seriously." Contributing: Reuters

Former Ecuadorian vice president detained in embassy raid gets 13 years in prison
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The former vice president of Ecuador who was detained last year during a highly criticized police raid on Mexico's embassy in the South American country was sentenced Monday to 13 years in prison. Jorge Glas had been accused of misusing public funds intended for the reconstruction of two provinces affected by an earthquake in 2016. The quake devastated communities and killed hundreds of people. Glas became vice president in 2013, during the presidency of Rafael Correa, and was removed from that position in January 2018, when he was charged in a corruption case tied to the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht. Judge Mercedes Caicedo said the funds for reconstruction efforts following the earthquake were allocated to 'useless, unusable and unnecessary buildings' disregarding the law, and above all, 'with complete disrespect for the victims.' The court also barred Glas from ever holding public office and fined him $28,800. Glas is already in a maximum-security prison serving time in two other corruption cases. He was detained in April 2024 when police stormed Mexico's embassy in Ecuador's capital, Quito, hours after he had been granted asylum. The embassy raid sparked outrage among world leaders, who criticized Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa. Diplomatic premises are considered foreign soil and 'inviolable' under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and host country law enforcement agencies are not allowed to enter without the permission of the ambassador. Ecuador's government defended the arrest, arguing that Glas was a fugitive wanted in corruption cases, not for political reasons, and therefore was not eligible for Mexico's diplomatic protection. ____

Idaho sniper suspect Wess Roley claimed ‘I'm going hunting' in chilling post hours before deadly ambush as new details revealed
Idaho killer Wess Roley posted a chilling online photo of himself masked in camouflage with a belt of rifle shells, along with a Bjork song with lyrics ominously warning, 'I'm going hunting'' — just hours before his deadly ambush, officials said Monday. The creepy post was among a slew of new details about the horror revealed at a sheriff's press conference. Authorities said Roley had been living out of his car before his heinous attack, which left two firefighters dead and another critically wounded. 3 Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris holds a picture of a chilling Instagram post made by shooter Wess Roley, hours before the deadly rampage. Reuters 3 A firefighting aircraft drops water on a wildfire the day after a shooter ambushed and killed multiple firefighters responding to a wildfire at Canfield Mountain. AP Roley, 20, had been confronted by the smoke-eaters about his vehicle before he opened fire on them, according to police. More than 300 law enforcement officers from various agencies responded to the scene once the shots started and spent hours trying to neutralize Roley. His abandoned car was even rolled off a mountain ledge to prevent him from escaping, while fire engine wheels were deflated to keep him from stealing one and slipping away. No motive has been identified in the attack, but officers have not yet searched Roley's vehicle. Authorities do not believe he left a manifesto, and he has known no ties to any Mideast terror group, Norris said. 3 Authorities said Roley had been living out of his car before his heinous attack, which left two firefighters dead and another critically wounded. The killer, who was born in California, had been in living in the Coeur d'Alene area since 2024, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said. During that time, he had at least five interactions with local police ranging from trespassing to welfare checks, most of which stemmed from reports of him living in his car and parking it on other peoples' property. The interactions were 'very, very minor,' Norris said, explaining that investigators had identified no criminal record in Idaho or where Roley had previously lived California and Arizona. Roley died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Sunday after he appeared to intentionally start a fire in the woods of Canfield Mountain just after 1 p.m. and opened-fire on firefighters who responded to the scene. It remains unclear if the blaze was used to lure the firefighters to the mountain for an ambush or if the bloodbath was sparked by a disagreement during the interaction over his car. Roley used a shotgun loaded with slugs during the gunfight. The fire he started is still burning over 26 acres, but officials expect it will be contained by Monday night. This is a developing story. Please check back for more information.
