Pope Leo ID ‘
Don’t « shoot » the reporters
Pope Leo asked to release journalists who have been imprisoned « because they searched and told the truth », expressing « the solidarity of the Church » during yesterday’s meeting with media representatives. The head of the Catholic Church also appealed to protect the precious good of freedom of expression and press. « You are at the forefront of leaving conflicts and hopes of peace, unjust and poverty situations and the implicit effort of many for a better world. That is why I ask you to choose consciously and courageously the path of a peace communication, « said the 69 -year -old newly elected Pope. He also said that « the meeting with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will take place » and is being prepared without clarifying whether there is a slight postponement, for organizational reasons, or whether it will go to Nice, Turkey, normally in two weeks.

Hamas released him
The Palestinian organization Hamas released yesterday the American -Israeli Homer Intan Alexander, paving the way for a possible return to talks on the ceasefire of the war -damaged enclave. 21 -year -old Alexander surrendered to the Red Cross shortly after 6.30pm and later arrived in Israel via the Kissoufim pass from the Gaza Strip.

White Paper for Migration
The acquisition of a right to stay in Britain is « a privilege to be won and not a right, » said British Prime Minister Kir Starmer, presenting the White Paper for immigration yesterday. Starmer announced a « stricter government’s immigration policy » with the aim of having the number of « pure migration » significantly by the end of its term in 2029. However, in observation of a moderate attitude, it did not set a target or ceiling for the reduction, stressing only that it would be significantly reduced. The number of « pure migration » is defined as the number of people who enter the country minus the number of departing immigrants. From June 2023 to June 2024, the « pure immigration » reached 728,000 people while the current Labor government had promised that that number would fall to 340,000 a year. Analysts warn that the British economy’s needs for labor from abroad should also be taken into account.
