London to host fresh Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks
LONDON — Diplomats from the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine and the US will hold fresh talks in London on Wednesday aimed at securing a ceasefire in the three-year war between Ukraine and Russia.The talks come amid growing speculation that Russia might be willing to halt its invasion along current front lines in return for significant concessions.The pace of diplomatic efforts to end the war is quickening but there is little clarity about where they are heading or whether they will succeed.US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had been expected in London but they pulled out, sending Trump's Ukraine envoy, Gen Keith Kellogg, instead.On Tuesday evening Rubio spoke to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy about what he hoped would...

The completed tunnel will slash travel times between Hamburg and Copenhagen
Record-breaking tunnel being built from Denmark to Germany
COPENHAGEN — A record-breaking tunnel is being built under the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Germany, which will slash travel times and improve Scandinavia's links with the rest of Europe.Running for 18km (11 miles), the Fehmarnbelt will be the world's longest pre-fabricated road and rail tunnel.It's also a remarkable feat of engineering, that will see segments of the tunnel placed on top of the seafloor, and then joined together.The project's main construction site is located at the northern entrance to the tunnel, on the coast of Lolland island in the southeast of Denmark.The facility spans more than 500 hectares (1,235 acres), and includes a harbor and a factory that is manufacturing the tunnel sections, which are called "elements"."It's a huge...

World's Catholics mourn Pope's Easter death
ROME — From the Vatican to the Philippines, Catholics were spending their Easter Monday saying goodbye to their spiritual leader Pope Francis.His death comes at one of the most important times of the year for followers of the Roman Catholic Church, and less than 24 hours after the ailing Pope addressed worshipers in St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday.That timing is not lost on Catholics."He [God] chose the most beautiful day for the Christian Church — he couldn't have chosen a better day," said Father Sergio Codera, a Salesian priest from Spain.He continued: "It [Easter] is the most important occasion Christians celebrate, when we celebrate that death does not have the final word."And it has been this day that God has chosen for Pope Francis to meet...

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 1936-2025
VATICAN CITY — The head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis has died at 88 after a short illness.The pontiff was admitted to hospital in February with a respiratory tract infection, having suffered various ailments in his final years. Despite his declining health, he had firmly and repeatedly made clear that unlike his predecessor, he had no intention of resigning the papacy.Born in Argentina in 1936, Jorge Mario Bergoglio took over the papacy in 2013 after Benedict XVI stood down. At the time the Jesuit Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he was the first pope from the Americas, and had already become a high-profile figure in Latin America in general, particularly thanks to his public statements during Argentina’s financial crisis in the early 2000s.As Pope Francis, he projected a more...
