On #CitizenWeekend we analyse the nail biting action on & off the FIFA World Cup 2026 pitch. From the Trump Effect to refereeing decisions, Africa's exit and yes, even racism. Join us from 9PM with @OBurrows

Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia

White smoke

The Vatican fire brigade has put up the chimney stack, which will announce the election of the new Pope. The Cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel on May 7 to begin the conclave to select the next Pope. Twice a day, in the morning (except on May 7) and in the evening, smoke will emerge from the chimney - black if no Pope has been elected and white if at least 89 Cardinals have agreed on who will lead the Catholic Church.

The College of Cardinals announces that all 133 Cardinal electors participating in the upcoming conclave have the right to vote for the new Pope. vaticannews.va/en/vatican-cit…

The conclave to elect a new Pope will begin on May 7 according to the Holy See Press Office. The Cardinals present in Rome made the decision on Monday at their fifth General Congregation. The conclave will take place in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, which remain closed to visitors during those days.
