ankara, Türkiye — Pope Leo XIV warned of “conflict on a global level” in an impassioned address to Turkish civil leaders and parliamentarians, against the backdrop of multiple wars in the region. “We are currently experiencing a phase of increasing levels of conflict at the global level, fueled by a dominant strategy of economic and military power, which has made it possible for what Pope Francis calls World War III to be fought piecemeal,” Leo told a gathering at the presidential palace in Ankara. Leo is speaking on his first overseas trip, a six-day trip to Turkey and Lebanon, where…
You know how that goes.In the first Ashes Test in Perth, the batsmen scored 172 for 33 inside overs and then 164 for 35 inside, but the conversation now turns to whether changes will be made to the bowling attack. There appears to be little appetite within England’s camp to make any changes to their batting line-up ahead of the second Test in Brisbane (day/night from December 4), but that could well be the case if Jacob Bethell performs well against the Lions in this weekend’s pink-ball tour fixture in Canberra.

For the first time, Washington is close to deciding how to regulate artificial intelligence. And the battle brewing isn’t about technology, it’s about who will regulate it.

Iznik, Türkiye — Pope Leo XIV on Friday condemned the use of religion to justify “war,” “violence” and “fanaticism” and instead urged Catholics to unite their faith and unite others “regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion or personal point of view.” The Pope commemorated an important church day in Turkey that allows for “dialogue and cooperation” between different communities and called on worshipers to see the humanity in others. “The entire human race, suffering from violence and conflict, is calling for reconciliation,” Leo said. “There is a universal fraternity between men and women, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion, or personal perspective.”…
The defeat to Everton came just when Manchester United were starting to have some momentum and doubts about Ruben Amorim’s much-maligned formation were beginning to fade.It was a game that took the Amorim project back to square one in terms of how much faith there is in this particular era. Manager Gary Neville said the complacency shown by United would undermine the team’s confidence, but there was equally as much criticism of the 3-4-2-1 system. Despite playing more than 75 minutes with extra players after Everton’s Idrissa Gueye was sent off, Amorim chose to stick to his preferred formation, leaving…
