Pope Francis urges all members of the Church to never cover up sexual abuse
Speaking to a crowd of around 39,000 in the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, the pontiff wrapped up a difficult visit to Belgium by saying, "There is no place for the covering up of abuse."
NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev. Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security. His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure. Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin. The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve. With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression.

In a shocking moment at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin in front of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, leaving the Ukrainian president speechless. Trump insisted that the focus should be on a “deal, not a ceasefire,” sparking global outrage and raising fears about Western unity in the war. He refused to directly condemn Russia’s invasion, even hinting at U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine’s future and suggesting that American troop deployment could be on the table, pending discussions with European allies. Trump also revealed that Putin is “waiting for his call” after the meeting — a statement that set off alarms in Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington. The tense encounter underscored growing fractures between Western allies over how to end the conflict, and left Zelensky visibly cornered in the most high-stakes meeting of his political career.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically.
