2 h. ago Pope Leo XIV to hold his first mass as pontiff as Catholics around the world celebrate – live

Pope will hold private mass in the Sistine Chapel at 0900 GMT, during which he will give his first papal homilyRobert Francis Prevost: the moderate, good humoured first US popePope Leo’s in-tray: pontiff has many urgent issues to addressShare your views on Pope Leo XIVWhat’s in a name? When it comes to a pope – everything. The white smoke from the Sistine Chapel earlier this evening told the world that a new pope to succeed Francis had been elected – and for the first time the pontiff is from the US.But if Donald Trump and his Catholic convert Veep, JD Vance, are ready to cheer, then they should think again.

3 h. ago Ban this foreign filth! Can cinema really threaten national security?

The US president’s plan for Hollywood is full of plot holes. But when it comes to the hidden propaganda baked into movies, he may have a pointAs always with pronouncements by President Trump, once you had peeled away the xenophobia, removed the stew of resentment, ignored the sheer idiocy and asterisked the possible illegality, there was a small kernel of truth to his posting on Truth Social last Sunday. “The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” he wrote, pointing to the nefarious tax breaks other countries gave film-makers as “a National Security threat” and proposing an 100% tariff on films made oversees. “It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA AGAIN!”How would a 100% tariff on films made oversees work? Just movies shot overseas? What about movies set overseas? And who would pay? How do you impose tariffs on goods without a port of entry? “Commerce is figuring it out,” said a White House official. In fact, ...
