Two women with pets killed by wolves. Two very different responses that take you to the core of a battle unfolding over the fate for wolves in Europe. (Spoiler: one of the women is @vonderleyen, President of the EU Commission.) Take a read and listen 🙏.

Here he is! Pope Francis, who at times was in very critical condition and on a non-invasive mechanical ventilator makes his first public appearance before being discharged from Gemelli hospital. #Vatican #Pope #Rome.

Waiting outside Rome’s Gemelli hospital where Pope Francis is due to make his first public appearance since being in hospital for 38 days battling double pneumonia. Today he will be discharged. It’s a stunning turnaround for the 88-year-old pontiff.

In Syria tens of thousands of people are searching for their loved ones who were disappeared by the Assad regime. What happened to them? With @SoccerMouaz we visited a mass grave site with a man who helped dig the trenches and saw it all first hand. #Syria
