Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Pope Francis’ criticism of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration.

Vice President JD Vance led the audience at the 20th National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in prayer for the ailing Pope Francis, who has criticized the Trump administration over its immigration policy.

Doctors have suggested Pope Francis has overcome the most critical phase of pneumonia after recovering from the infection for two weeks. Father Dave Dwyer says most Catholics are unlikely to call for the pope's resignation.

The Vatican has revealed that Pope Francis' condition has stabilised, although he remains critical. Israel prepares to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for bodies of four hostages. CCTV footage aired in court showed the moment a golden toilet was stolen from a UK palace.

The development marked a setback in what had been two successive days of increasingly upbeat reports from doctors treating Francis.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s leader sought security guarantees as the U.S. tries to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

World leaders pledge support for Ukraine and emphasize Russia is the "aggressor" following Oval Office spat in which the Trump administration accused President Zelenskyy of being 'disrespectful.'

President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he can come back to the U.S. when he's "ready for peace."
