BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not solving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Peace!

@BBCSportScot Hello-oo! Gonna stop saying Ivory Coast. The name of the country is Cote d'Ivore. It comes from the hostoric exploitation of that area of west Africa. I understand that the country has asked to be known as Cote d'Ivore. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A decent chance for Scott McTominay to level the score and Ivory Coast goalkeeper Alban Lafont needs to look lively to push it away. #BBCFootball

I'm just watching Wales v Ireland, and I can't believe Wales' away kit is bloody WHITE......why White? White is the colour of England (no offence to the English!! 🤭). I'd rather we worn black, then white. This has to change!!!

It was my absolute privilege to spend the day in South Armagh at Whitecross and Bessbrook, a Mass this morning for the Reavey brothers, cruelly murdered in their homes, then a service in Bessbrook for the 10 workmen murdered in a sectarian attack. It was a privilege to speak with some of the families and Alan Black. The message from both the Mass and the Service was clear- there were always two communities; those who said not in our name and those who perpetrated evil. We must ensure that the legacy of our horrendous past is the message that the vast majority of people in all communities rejected violence, continue to reject violence and love one another and want to live in peace. They want truth and justice for all families. They are generous, they are selfless. We should learn and listen to them. We must honour them.

@rickyaross That's a heck of a drive! Can I suggest The Silk Road rather than the Great Western Road or you'll never make it in for the sound check.

Secondary ticketing sites that sell above face value should all be shut down

One last piece from Portrush - This is one of my favourite Rory McIlroy stories, though it's not really about Rory McIlroy at all. (Free to read) Rory McIlroy’s Portrush gesture completes one man’s 19-year journey to replace what was lost the42.ie/6768794

I’m trying to figure out how #COVID and #LongCovid can affect periods (by disrupting brain circuitry involving the hypothalamus) for a big project. Do you or anyone you know have had disruptive changes in the menstrual cycles after getting COVID or any of the symptoms below?

The 'major concessions' the government has made to disability benefits apply only to 'existing claimants', but an existing claimant can become a 'new claimant' at the drop of a hat. - A change of address A change in bank details A loss of PIP due to reassessment There are absolutely no protections for disabled people within this system, presently or in the future. The only hope is that the bill will be defeated.

Can't ever read this poem without reminding people it was written in 2014

I do a lot of campaigning on ending violence against women and girls. Have done for years. In January, following a debate in the House of Commons on ending violence against women and girls, some of the same individuals who openly mocked me, degraded me and made comments about raping me are now, unbelievably, trying to cast themselves as defenders of women and children. 1/
