Pope Leo XIV has been discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital, just four days after an operation to remove a cancerous growth from his lung. The 71-year-old walked unaided to his waiting car, stopping to speak to well-wishers. The Vatican said the Pope will give the traditional Angelus prayer and blessing to a crowd in St Peter's Square on Sunday, as he did last week when he surprised the world by announcing the surgery. On Friday, photographs were released of the Pope celebrating Mass and distributing communion in hospital for staff. A statement from his doctors said blood tests and a chest X-ray showed "steady improvement" following his operation. The surgery on Tuesday, which lasted for 90 minutes, included the removal of the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung. The results of further tests to check for any sign that the cancer has spread have not yet been announced. The Pope also spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, in their first call since June 2025. The Vatican said the call was to urge "dialogue and peace".

Tehran, Iran – Dozens of ships were attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz in October as Iran and the United States compete to assert their authority over the waterway. At least 12 ships were attacked in the week ending on October 16, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported late Friday, with one important caveat.

It said it was aware of more incidents in the waterway via other sources but could not verify them due to a lack of information. The same pattern has been true for the first half of October. The month has seen the highest number of ship attacks since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, which began on February 28.

2 hours agoRorey BosottiBBCKitchen staff was instructed to use inedible paint to enhance the look of meals to attract more students, the court foundA nursery owner and five members of her staff have been jailed after they were found to have poisoned more than 200 children with lead-tainted food. Li Huifang, who operated the Heshi Peixin Kindergarten in Tianshui, in the Gansu province, was sentenced to life in prison for producing and selling toxic and harmful food, according to Chinese state media. A report into the incident found that chefs at Heshi Peixin had used inedible paint to "enhance the look" of its meals to attract more students - despite the paint being being clearly marked as such. In addition to the sentence, the Lanzhou Intermediate People's Court also ordered the confiscation of 500,000 yuan (£56,200; $74,700) of Li's personal assets, state broadcaster CCTV reported. Nursery executive principal Zhi Jinglin was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 300,00 yuan. Four other members of staff who worked in the nursery's kitchen received sentences of between six to eight years, according to state media.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian officials said they had lost some access to Starshield, the military-grade version of Starlink, the satellite communications system operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Musk, CEO of SpaceX, denied any involvement in restricting Ukraine's access, saying that decision would be up to the U. S. government. Meanwhile, on Friday, U. S. President Donald Trump denied he was involved in the decision to restrict access and said he didn't think Musk was involved either. Trump's remarks followed a Reuters report that the White House had ordered the restrictions. Ukrainian officials said this week that military-grade Starlink terminals stopped working in Ukraine when mounted on fast-moving objects, interfering with Ukrainian drones that rely on them for onboard guidance over Ukrainian territory. Starlink restrictions would hamper Ukraine's war effort. But the country can adapt, experts sayStill, the potential ability of the U. S government to affect the operation of a Starlink-related satellite system may also have raised questions about Washington's ability to influence commerical users of the system.

A Mexican judge sentenced the three men for the 2024 murders a week after they were found guilty. Three Mexican men have been sentenced to more than 158 years in prison each for the murder of two Australian brothers and their American friend during a surf trip on Mexico’s Baja California coast in 2024. A Mexican judge in the coastal city of Ensenada, in Baja California state, ruled on Friday that Jesus Gerardo Garcia, alias “El Kekas”, Irineo Francisco “N” and Angel Jesus “N” would each serve 158 years and nine months in prison for homicide, robbery with violence and vehicle theft with violence. The defendants were found guilty a week ago of the murders of Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson, aged 33 and 30, respectively, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30. The case impacted Mexico’s tourism industry by exposing the risks foreigners face when visiting the country. Previously, the Baja California State Attorney General’s Office requested the “exemplary sentence” of 210 years in prison for each defendant.

President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that puts on hold a sweeping new sanctions package targeting the Russian economy, telling Congress the pause was in the national interest. Trump personally signed the legislation just last month and his move came just two days before a deadline set in the law itself for its implementation. It drew shift condemnation from congressional Democrats. Named after late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the legislation had sought to clamp down more quickly on the flow of financial resources fueling the war against Ukraine. Trump’s unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U. S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia. An AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll published Oct. 1 found that Americans disapprove of the president’s handling of the Iran war and blame him for higher prices. Trump’s approval ratings have sunk to near-historic lows and pressure is mounting as Republicans try to hold control of both chambers of Congress after midterm elections on Nov. 3.

Three men have been sentenced after being found guilty of murdering Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, and their American friend Carter Rhoad.

Their bodies were discovered days later at the bottom of a well with gunshot wounds, alongside the body of a local farmer who had also been shot.
