Spaniards are currently getting a close look at a pope the world still knows little about. He has gone from being a mystery, a man who seemed feeble, to becoming, in the space of two months, a startling revelation after he clashed with Donald Trump in mid-April and, two weeks ago, published a far-reaching encyclical; an argument against the techno-fascism of Silicon Valley. His visit to Spain will culminate in the definitive discovery of Prevost, since it is his first major trip to Europe and he will speak to the entire Western world. But what does this pope think and why has he been so disconcerting?

Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is largely targeting people from the countries most vulnerable to displacement from climate-driven disasters, a Guardian analysis shows.

Let’s start with the proven facts: Disclosure Day is the most anticipated film of the summer.

Is the war in Iran over? On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump made yet another of his sudden about-faces — and one of the most dramatic — regarding the war in Iran. Hours after announcing that his forces would launch a new round of attacks — the third in three consecutive nights — he proclaimed on social media that he had canceled that decision because the two adversaries had already approved a memorandum of understanding that only needed a few final touches. He later noted that the pact could be signed as early as this weekend, perhaps in Europe, with the United States represented by Vice President J.D. Vance. But Iran insists that, although most of the document is already finalized, the United States “continues to change its positions.”
