There are 138 cardinals with their own political leanings and ambitions eligible to vote on the candidates to succeed Francis
WHO PICKS THE NEXT POPE?🇻🇦
My analysis of the College of Cardinals in The Sunday Times @thetimes.com found that liberals form the biggest group - but no faction has an overall majority.
Suggests a longer than typical Conclave if the pope dies or resigns - and a possible compromise candidate.

Pope Francis has created a Vatican task force to urge believers to give more money as the Catholic Church tackles a cashflow crisis ⬇️
💥A usually well-sourced Catholic priest has tweeted, saying that Pope Francis' room in Domus Santa Maria has been sealed💥
This typically only happens when a pope has died.
However, the official Vatican position (as of 1hr ago) is that he “remains critical but stationary" and did some work earlier.
His health hangs in the balance, but the cardinals who will choose his successor are locked in a battle for influence just like the Oscar-nominated film Conclave ⬇️

This week I’ve been reporting on Rome where the political jockeying has already begun - before the Pope has even died.

Lips, teeth, legs, arms, hair, bums, stomachs, boobs and even genitals - on Friday I spent the day at Turkey’s Health Tourism Expo at the QE2 Centre, in the shadow of Westminster Abbey.

In January, I went to Germany to interview Torben Braga, the right hand man of Bjorn Hocke, to ask who or what is the AfD and what do they stand for.

Elon Musk, tweeting a picture of Bjorn Hocke - a man who uses banned Nazi slogans in his speeches and who according to German courts can legally be described as a fascist - all retweeted by Tommy Robinson's X account.

North Korean POWs will feel like they’ve ‘stepped out of a time machine’
www.thetimes.com/world/russia...
What must it be like to be a North Korean soldier, sent on a "training exercise", only to find yourself in the middle of a warzone in Russia - and then you are injured and taken as a prisoner of war?
For The Sunday Times I delved into the psyche of the North Korean POWs.
Now, Shaimaa and her newborn baby Sham is living in a tent.
This week, she was told he has a hole in his heart. But there is no chance he will get the lifesaving surgery he needs.
Read below 👇

Shaimaa Ftouh has had no scans, and didn't even know the gender of her baby. She had to walk through shellfire to get to the hospital, where she was told she would need an emergency c-section.
She then had to wait for 14 hours. The c-section lasted an hour and was performed without anaesthetic.
If you read one thing today make it this.
I had the honour of commissioning this piece for @thetimes.com to write about what its like to be a pregnant woman in Gaza today.
Their dispatch is heartbreaking, horrifying and sadly totally normal for today's Gazans.
