French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.

A shocking rumor has sent ripples through the Vatican, claiming Cardinal Pietro Parolin, one of the top candidates to succeed Pope Francis, suffered a serious health scare due to high blood pressure. The story, amplified by journalist Diane Montagna, spread quickly but was met with a rare public denial from the Vatican spokesperson.

In a powerful and symbolic farewell, Pope Francis’s funeral introduced a historic change to long-standing papal rites. For the first time in the history of papal funerals, the Prayer of the Faithful was delivered in six languages—including a groundbreaking addition that reflected Pope Francis’s global outreach and deep commitment to inclusivity. From simplified funeral rites to multilingual participation, the ceremony captured the late pontiff's desire for a humbler, more accessible Church. With over 200,000 mourners filling St. Peter’s Square, this farewell was as much a moment of tradition as it was of transformation — a ritual echoing the values Pope Francis championed throughout his life.

As the Vatican prepares for the May 7 conclave to elect a new pope following the death of Pope Francis, a major milestone was reached with the installation of the Sistine Chapel chimney. Vatican firefighters mounted the symbolic chimney on Friday — the structure through which black or white smoke will signal the outcome of the secret papal vote. Cardinals from around the world, including those over 80 who cannot vote, have gathered for pre-conclave discussions addressing the Church's future, internal reforms, and the legacy of Francis’ transformative papacy. All eyes now turn to the Sistine Chapel, where tradition and suspense converge in a centuries-old ritual of choosing the next leader of the Catholic Church.

U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence. Former President Trump recently extended U.S. sanctions, citing national security concerns, while hinting at potential relief tied to the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

As tensions escalate over US tariff hikes, China has called on India to unite in opposing Washington's "abusive" trade policies. Beijing urged New Delhi to embrace multilateralism and reject unilateral economic coercion. While China seeks collaboration, India has opted for dialogue with the US, aiming for a trade deal by fall. Foreign Minister Jaishankar revealed that India is keeping all channels open, maintaining “principled understanding” with Washington. With Beijing seeking Global South solidarity, all eyes are now on India’s next move.
