BERLIN — Germany has banned an extremist far-right organization linked to the so-called "Reichsbürger" (Citizens of the Reich) movement and carried out dawn raids on its properties and leaders' homes, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.Hundreds of security forces across several German states searched properties associated with the self-styled "Königreich Deutschland" (Kingdom of Germany) group, and arrested four of its leading members, according to the government.Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the organization's 6,000 members had created a "counter-state" in Germany and "built up economic criminal structures".The group underpinned its supposed claim to power with antisemitic conspiracy narratives, according to Dobrindt, who...

Pope Leo XIV warns against lack of faith in first mass at Vatican
VATICAN CITY — The new Pope, Leo XIV, has called for the Catholic Church to "desperately" counter a lack of faith in his first mass at the Vatican.Speaking on Friday, the day after he was elected the first US leader of the Catholic Church, he warned that people were turning to "technology, money, success, power, or pleasure" for security instead of the Church.Pope Leo also called for cardinals to extend missionary outreach.The ascension of Chicago-born Robert Francis Prevost, 69, has been widely celebrated by 1.4 billion Catholics across the world, with joyous outbursts in particular in Peru, where he was stationed for 20 years, and in his US homeland.In his speech, the new pope said he had been elected to be a "faithful administrator" of the Church and to...

Pope Leo XIV addresses Vatican crowd as new leader of the Catholic Church
VATICAN CITY — The conclave of 133 cardinals representing 70 countries elected Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as new pontiff on Thursday, after deliberating on who would be the new leader of the Catholic Church for less than a day.The new pope has chosen Leo XIV as his name.With black smoke appearing around noon on Thursday, the wait for the new pontiff continued.

VATICAN — After the sorrow of death, the joy of a new beginning.The warm May sun was still high in the sky when a roar echoed out in the streets surrounding St Peter's Square.One street over, startled people looked at each other, then at their phones. Then, they began to run down the narrow alleyways leading to the Vatican. "White smoke, they're saying white smoke!", they called out.By the time they reached the square, a white haze was still hovering over the left-hand side of the Apostolic Palace where 133 cardinals had been locked away since the day before, voting to elect the new head of the Catholic Church.As the evening sunshine streamed through the statues of the apostles on the ledge of St Peter's Basilica and bells tolled joyously over the square, young and...

PARIS — France commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of the World War II on Thursday.French President Emmanuel Macron led the national remembrance in the capital, Paris, laying a wreath in front of a crowd at the statue of General Charles de Gaulle, who led the French Resistance against Nazi Germany.But as France remembered the millions who fought and died in the war, it also faced a sobering reality: few remain who have witnessed its horrors first-hand.“Unfortunately, I'm finding that there are fewer and fewer of us,” said 89-year-old Marcjanna Marcinkowski, who was just nine when Paris was liberated from Nazi occupation in 1944.“That’s a real concern, because finding myself alone is something that troubles me a lot," she added.Marcinkowski fears the lessons of...
