Vatican Conclave 2023: Live Coverage & India-Pakistan Crisis
The world is watching as two major events unfold simultaneously: the election of a new Pope and a dangerous escalation between India and Pakistan. Let's delve into both.
Following the Papal Conclave
Vatican Media is providing comprehensive coverage of the Conclave to elect the 267th Pope. Beginning with the "Missa pro eligendo Romano Pontifice" on May 7th at 10:00 AM, live broadcasts in multiple languages (including English, Spanish, French, and more) will be available via video and audio streams. The entry of the cardinal electors and the "Extra omnes" ceremony will also be live-streamed. Following the white smoke, signaling the election of the new Pope, coverage will expand even further. You can follow the anticipation on YouTube, Vatican Radio, and Facebook.
India and Pakistan: A Dangerous Escalation
Meanwhile, tensions between India and Pakistan have reached a critical point. India launched airstrikes targeting what it called "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan, leading to retaliatory actions. The resulting exchange of fire has left dozens dead and injured on both sides. International leaders, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and US President Donald Trump, have called for restraint. Experts warn of the potential for further escalation, emphasizing the need for diplomatic solutions. This dangerous situation highlights the fragility of peace in the region.
