PRESS REVIEW – Friday, June 6: The press react to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's spectacular, messy and public fallout. This as Trump tells Politico that all is well between the two men. Also: The Economist looks at the decline of boys among prospective parents and why having girls is now sought-after in IVF and adoptions. The sports pages react to a "crazy" Nations League game between France and Spain. Plus: could David Beckham finally become a "Sir"? Donald Trump and Elon Musk's spectacular, messy and public fallout is in all the papers this Friday. The former BFFs-turned-enemies started feuding this week over Musk's criticism of Trump's "big beautiful bill" – a domestic policy bill that will add trillions to the public deficit. Vindictive, petty, childish, messy and public are just some of the adjectives used by The New York Times to describe Musk and Trump's spat. The Wall Street Journal recalls that the spat escalated gradually, starting with Musk criticising Trump's bill, to which Trump said Musk was aware of what had been coming. This was followed by Musk's calls to "kill the bill", to which Trump responded by saying that Musk suffered from Trump derangement syndrome. Then came the ultimate insult: Musk said that Trump wouldn't have won the election without him. The editors of the Wall Street Journal liken the two men's breakup to the War of the Roses. However, their spat may be as short-lived as their bromance. An exclusive from Politico's US website notes that Trump told the media outlet that all is OK between Musk and him. Privately, White House officials are working to de-escalate the feud.We turn our attention to an interesting article in The Economist, which looks at the rising preference for girl babies and the stunning decline in the preference for boys. In the 1980s, with the rise of ultrasound machines that could determine sex during pregnancy, millions of girls were aborted. Having a girl at the time was perceived as undesirable. But today, in some regions, preferences for girls are growing. The magazine notes this is the case among Japanese couples who only want one child. American and Scandinavian couples are more likely to have more children if their first one is a boy. In adoption, parents pay more for a girl and prospective mothers opt for XX chromosomes when sex selection is possible in IVF. The reasons for these changing attitudes are myriad and quite stereotypical – that girls are easier to raise and more academically astute, unlike boys who are perceived as more likely to get into trouble, as 93 percent of prisoners in the world are male. There is also the perception that a surplus of men, as we saw with gender selection in the 1980s, has created a sexually frustrated generation, leading to violence against women. The feeling is that a surplus of females in the world will have a counter-effect: more peace.The sports pages are awash with jubilation, joy and heartbreak after France's loss to Spain in the Nations League. The Spanish daily Marca calls it a dance that ended with a scare for Spain who were leading 4-0 and then 5-1 in the second half before Les Bleus scored three goals in the last fourteen minutes. But it wasn't enough for France to win what Le Figaro calls a crazy game. Spain play Portugal in the final on Sunday. L'Equipe shares the same sentiment, calling the match "totally mad". Also sharing front page space today is French tennis player Loïs Boisson, who lost to Coco Gauff in the semi-finals of the French Open despite a dream run at the tournament.There's good news, however, for Jordan's national team. Jordan Times reports that the team has qualified for the first time ever for the 2026 World Cup after beating Oman 3-0. The paper calls it "a monumental moment for Jordanian football and a culmination of years of effort, heartbreak and relief."Finally, British daily The Sun reports that David Beckham could be set to become Sir David Beckham in next week's king's birthday honours. It's been a years-long campaign – Beckham was first put forward for knighthood in 2011 after helping secure the 2012 London Olympics. But the footballer was blocked after being embroiled in a tax avoidance scheme. The long wait may now be almost over for the man known as Golden Balls – or possibly, Sir Golden Balls!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.
Harry, who gave up his country and family to get away from the press will likely be thrilled to learn Meghan has marked their daughter's fourth birthday by sharing two poignant family photographs on social media.One image, in black and white, captures Meghan seated with Princess Lilibet on her lap. Both are windswept and appear to be aboard a boat, with the young princess's face partially visible — her eyes and the top half of her face seen clearly for the first time in some time, while her mouth remains shielded by her mother's embrace. The second image is a tender throwback: Meghan cradling a newborn Lilibet in 2021, shortly after her birth.Writing on Instagram, Meghan said: “Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”The post is notable in that it departs from the Sussexes' usual protocol of sharing only obscured or rear-facing images of their children. Until now, public glimpses of Princess Lilibet have been few and carefully managed. We regularly thank Meghan for her contributions to this podcast, and the Duchess of Scheduling is about to provide us with another avoidable controversy.Meghan is set to be honoured at a glittering gala in Los Angeles next Saturday—though her attendance will coincide with one of the most significant events on the British royal calendar, Trooping the Colour.Meghan Markle has been named a guest of honour at the *Night of Wonder* gala hosted by the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County. She will be recognised for her contributions to “championing women and underserved communities.” The event, which promises an "enchanted garden at night" theme, will feature immersive exhibits, live music, and a formal dinner. According to *People* magazine, the guest list is expected to draw leading figures from Los Angeles's cultural and philanthropic circles.However, the Duchess's spotlight moment in LA will directly clash with King Charles III's official birthday celebrations in London. Next Saturday, members of the Royal Family will gather on Horse Guards Parade for *Trooping the Colour*—the traditional military ceremony that marks the Sovereign's official birthday.Get ready for our new series Crown and Controversy coming July 13th.

In this engaging conversation, Jen Gerson and royal watcher Patricia Treble, author of WRITE ROYALTY on Substack, discuss the recent visit of King Charles III to Canada, focusing on the significance of his throne speech and its geopolitical implications. They explore the role of the monarchy in Canadian sovereignty, the authority of King Charles in delivering the speech, and the reactions from both Canadian and British perspectives. The discussion highlights the evolving relationship between Canada and the monarchy, emphasizing the importance of the crown in contemporary Canadian identity.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. In Northern Ontario, a Métis harvester checks his snares as his ancestors have done for generations. Meanwhile back in town, Métis leaders gather with government officials. They've been doing this for decades. Not because they were asked politely. But because the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2003 that Métis communities in Ontario exist, their Indigenous rights are real, and they must be respected. Métis rights in Ontario are settled in law and governments have a duty to consult them before decisions impacting their way of life are made. Whether it's a new mine, transmission line, or legislative changes meant to fast-track projects, consultation with Indigenous peoples, including the Métis, cannot be skipped. The Métis helped built this country. They must be included in its growth. Visit OntarioMétisFacts.com to learn more.In the second segment, they talk Royal Tea! Particularly the latest with William and Catherine; Meghan Markle/Sussex's latest projects, and Prince Harry whining on the BBC about his security needs.
A Sermon for Ascension Sunday Acts 1:1-11 by William Klock The King came to Canada this week and I can help but reflect on how providential this event has been—the King of Canada coming to take his throne in the Senate chamber in Ottawa—in the same week that we remember and celebrate the ascension of Jesus. I might be tempted to title my sermon: A Tale of Two Kings. So a new Parliament needed to be opened. A throne speech had to be read. That's normally done by the Governor General, but these are not normal times. The new President next door, in what has always been Canada's best friend and ally, is now making economic war and daily challenging the country's sovereignty. It was time for the Sovereign to come and save the day. And so the King came, and he ascended to his throne in Parliament, and he read a speech. The last time the Sovereign did this was almost fifty years ago, so this is no small thing. And yet the King was here for all of about twenty-four hours. The speech he read was written by government speech-writers, not by the King. And even then, it's vitally important in our constitutional monarchy that the King avoid any openly political speech—and so the big concern of the day, the big thing that threatens the nation's economic well-being and sovereignty—was only hinted at obliquely. And everyone applauded. And then the King got back into his jet and flew home. And maybe it's just because I'm an American, but it doesn't seem to me that all the pomp and circumstance and expense really accomplished anything. The King didn't go to Washington to negotiate peace with the belligerent bully or to rough him up a bit or even to give him a good talking to. Instead, he came here, he sat in the Senate chamber, and recited back to the government the talking points it gave him. Again, I mean no disrespect to the King or to Canada's constitutional monarchy, but watching and listening to this week's events as an American—although I suspect even the staunches of Christian monarchists can't help but notice it too—that there's a big—an enormous—difference between the ascension of King Charles III in Ottawa this week and the ascension of Jesus that we read about today in both our Epistle and Gospel. I listened to the throne speech and even though I know that the King can't actually do anything, when it was over I still felt like: What now? The King flies all this way, he ascends to his throne with great pomp and circumstance, he reads a speech intended to stir patriotic feelings—and even as an American, watching and listening I felt pride for Canada—but then he got back into his airplane and went home. He didn't do anything about the current crisis. The enemy is still there. In fact, the King's talk of Canadian sovereignty just seemed to provoke a new round of fifty-first state talk. It's kind of a let down. I don't know what I expect the King should do, but he's a king after all and I sort of have a mental image of him taking off his pinstripe jacket, putting on a shining suit of armour, going to Washington, and popping the President in the nose. In real life that probably wouldn't solve anything. It's just that kings are supposed to deliver their subjects in times of trouble and cast down their enemies. Right? That's what kings are for. This is why the disciples were so discouraged when Jesus was crucified. They thought he was the Messiah, the anointed king, and then he got himself killed—and that's not what was supposed to happen to the king. He was supposed to defeat his enemies and take his throne. And then Jesus rose from death and he met them and they were so excited to go declare the good news to Jerusalem that Jesus actually had to calm them down and tell them to wait. Enthusiasm isn't enough. They also needed the power of God's Spirit—but that's for next week. But for forty days Jesus has been teaching them. He's been walking them through the scriptures and showing them how it was there along: the Messiah had to die in order to defeat his enemies and take his throne. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, those forty days must have been the most thrilling days in all of history as Jesus taught them and as it all came together. And yet, even then, the disciples were still stuck on the wrong things. But now I'm getting ahead of myself for today. Keep this all in mind and let's look at our Epistle again. The first chapter of Acts. Luke writes: Dear Theophilus, the previous book which I wrote had to do with everything Jesus began to do and teach. I took the story as far as the day when he was taken up, once he had given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his apostles. Luke is talking about his Gospel. He goes on in verse 3: He showed himself to them alive, after his suffering, by many proofs. He was seen by them for forty days, during which he spoke about God's kingdom. As they were having a meal together, he told them not to go away from Jerusalem, but to wait, as he put it, “for the Father's promise, which I was telling you about earlier. John baptised with water, you see, but in a few days from now you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit.” So good so far. Forty days of Bible teaching with Jesus. All about the kingdom. He thinks they're ready to do the proclamation part of their new ministry, they just need to wait a minute so he can ascend to this throne and send the Spirit who will empower that proclamation. Jesus thinks their ready to be set loose on the world. But have you ever taught something to someone, explaining it to them, and they're nodding and you think they understand. You're ready to turn them loose. And then they ask you a question and you realise that they still don't understand the central point of what you've been trying to teach them? I took calculus as a freshman in college. Twice. The only class I ever failed. I understood the instructions. But no matter how hard I tried and no matter how long the professor explained it to me—I had the benefit of sitting next to him in the church choir—I never understood what it was all about. I didn't get it. I thought that at least I could just follow the instructions to solve the equations. I found that usually worked pretty well with math. But it didn't with calculus. So he—or my friends who understood calculus—would explain it to me and I'd say, “Right. I do this, then this, then this, and so on.” And they'd smile and say, “Yes!” Like it was finally sinking in for me. And then I'd do what I thought were the steps and it wouldn't work and they'd ask me to explain it, and I couldn't, because I never could wrap my head around the concept at the heart of it all. Brothers and Sisters, the kingdom was the heart of everything Jesus was teaching and doing. And the disciples knew this. That's, again, why they were so discouraged when he died. Dead kings don't establish kingdoms. But now Jesus is alive again and they're excited and especially so because for forty days Jesus has been teaching them even more about the kingdom. And then they ask, “Master, is this the time when you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel.” I remember the look on my calculus professor's face when he through I'd finally got it through my thick skull and how his smile faded away when he realised I didn't get it at all and I can picture the same look on Jesus' face. Disappointment and exasperation. I don't know. Maybe Jesus knew that no amount of talk would get them straight on this and that it would only fall into place once they saw him ascend and once they'd received the Spirit. But it's clear: despite all the teaching, the disciples still didn't get it. See, this idea of the “kingdom of God”, for the Jews it had become shorthand for the idea that one day the Lord would fulfil his promises, come back to Israel, take up his throne. He'd defeat Isreal's enemies and he'd set Israel to rights—and then they'd all live happily ever after with God as their king and the pagans under their feet. They sang songs, like Psalm 2, about the nations raging and the kings of the earth getting together to plot against the Lord and his people. And in the middle of the song the Lord bursts out in laughter, mocking the nations and their feeble kings. And then the Lord lets loose his wrath and announces, “I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.” And then the king speaks: “The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.” And then the Psalmist can announce to the nations: “Now, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled.” It's the king in shining armour come to crush his enemies and set his people to rights. They sang songs like the one in Isaiah 52 about the beautiful feet of the one who brings good news and who announces to Zion, “Your God reigns.” “The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.” This was the same song in which they sang about the suffering servant who would be exalted only after he had borne their griefs and sorrows, only after he'd been stricken and afflicted.” This was the hope of Israel and this is why the disciples had followed Jesus. They believed he was the Messiah, the king who would rescue his people and defeat their enemies. Again, for those three days he was in the tomb it looked like they'd been wrong, but now Jesus was alive again. They knew with absolute certainty that he really is the Messiah. And so now they're asking him: “Your resurrection put the story back on track, Jesus. So when are you going to fulfil those old promises, defeat the nations and their kings, and set Isreal on the top of the heap?” And Jesus says to them in verse 7: “It's not your business to know about times and dates. The Father has placed all that under his own direct authority. What will happen, though, is that you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Then you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth.” I've noticed a lot of people read this and think that Jesus is saying something like, “No. It's not time to restore the kingdom. I'll do that sometime in the future and only the Father knows the date.” But that's not what Jesus is saying at all. Think of the pair Jesus met on the road to Emmaus. They were saying that they'd hoped Jesus was the one who would redeem Israel, but well, he'd been crucified so scratch that idea. And that's the point when Jesus explains to them that it was actually through his crucifixion that he would accomplish God's long-promised redemption. Even though it was there all along in songs like Isaiah 52, it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone that the Messiah would usher in God's kingdom by his suffering and death. And yet when Jesus says this, suddenly a lot of other things he said and did finally make sense. Think of the stories—the parables—he told. Over and over: The kingdom is coming—yes!—but it's not coming like you think. Instead, the kingdom is coming like seed planted in the ground. The kingdom is coming like leaven in a lump of dough. The kingdom is like a man who had two sons. Or when Jesus and the disciples were approaching Jerusalem and they asked this same question: Is the kingdom finally coming now? And Jesus said that the kingdom is like a nobleman coming back to see if his servants have been faithful with their stewardship. Over and over Jesus has been saying, “Yes, the kingdom is coming right now, but you keep missing it because it doesn't look like what you expected. At that last Passover meal Jesus ate with his friends, he told them that he would not drink with them again until the kingdom had arrived. And here they are, these forty days after the resurrection eating and drinking with Jesus as he teaches them. The kingdom has come, Brothers and Sisters. Too many Christians live as if the mission of the church is to prepare for Jesus to become king, when the church's mission is, in fact, really all about announcing and living out the reality that Jesus is the king even if his kingdom isn't quite what a lot of people expected. And then, just to make all of this absolutely clear, Luke says in verse 9: As Jesus said this, he was lifted up while they were watching and a cloud took him out of their sight. We're prone to missing the significance of this image because we're not steeped in the Old Testament the way they were. The disciples, however, understood exactly what was happening: Jesus was acting out the prophecy of Daniel 7. That's the chapter were Daniel has this nightmare full of beasts coming up out of the ocean. It's a vision of the nations and their kings raging against God's people. But then “one like a son of man” is taken up and exalted on the clouds to sit beside the Ancient of Days. He's given a kingdom, power, and authority so that all people, nations, and languages should serve and obey him. It's a vision of the kingdom being restored to Israel. And now, all through Jesus' ministry, we've heard him talking about himself as this son of man, as Israel's representative, and now—in answer to the disciples' question about the coming of the kingdom—Jesus literally acts out Daniel's vision. He fulfils it. In fact, in Matthew's telling of the ascension, Jesus even says—echoing the words of the Ancient of Days in Daniel—“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. So you must go and make all the nations into disciples.” The ascension proclaims: Jesus is king and his kingdom is here. One day Jesus will return to finish what he's begun, but never forget that it has begun. As Paul says in Romans 15, “He has to go on ruling until he has put all his enemies under his feet.” So the disciples were thinking that Jesus was going to lead a revolution—like Judas Maccabeus or Simon bar Kochba—except this time it wouldn't fizzle out. This time it would be successful and it would be forever. And Jesus is saying (and acting out) that no, the kingdom has been inaugurated and it's going to take shape and grow—the nations will be put under Jesus' feet—not as the disciples take up arms, but as they go out into the world as witnesses of Jesus: as they go out and proclaim the good news that Jesus crucified and risen, is the world's true Lord and as they live out the reality of his kingdom. Like Jesus did, the disciples would work miracles—miracles that underscored that in the kingdom all the sad thing are beginning to become untrue; and they would live lives transformed by the Spirit's fruit, but maybe more than anything else, they would confront the kings of the present evil age with the reality of Jesus' lordship. And through their witness, the world would begin to change. It's not a linear, always progressing, always upward change. That was the idea of theological liberalism a century ago, but two world wars and nuclear bombs and fascism and Communism blew that idea up. But through the witness of the church, the world is changing. I've mentioned before Tom Holland's remarkable book Dominion and how, in that book, he writes about the profound changes that the gospel brought to Western Civilisation. Each generation lives in its own brief age and so, if we don't know anything about history, we're prone to not even noticing the changes that have happened, but happen they have. Christians began taking in the unwanted girl babies of the Greeks and Romans, left to die of exposure, and we taught the world the value of life. The influence of the gospel put an end to gladiatorial games and slavery. The gospel has taught the world mercy and grace, the value of life, the dignity of each person. And on and on. The church, when we are faithful witnesses of Jesus and living the new creation life the Spirit gives, builds and spreads the kingdom and someday, when the work is done, Jesus will return—not to take us away, but to restore heaven and earth, God and human beings, and to put an end to death and sin once and for all. To consummate his new creation. But there's work to do in the meantime. He created us in the beginning to be his stewards—to cultivate his garden. That's why, when it came time to set us back on that track, God called and created a special people for himself: to be his representative, to be his stewards, to be his living kingdom in the midst of the old. And so Luke says, They were gazing into heaven as he disappeared. Then, lo and behold, two men appeared, dressed in white, standing beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken away from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.” Brothers and Sisters, there's work to do. Like Jesus said, they needed to wait a few days before going out, so that when they did go out, they would go out in the power of the Spirit. The kingdom doesn't happen in our power. But it does happen as we go out to faithfully fulfil the mission we've been given to witness Jesus. Our task is to go out in faith, to till the soil, to steward the garden. It's an overwhelming task. That's why it takes faith to go out and do it. But we go out in faith knowing that God has given us his Spirit who infuses what we do with divine power. We go out in faith knowing that in Jesus—at the cross and in the resurrection—God has already done the impossible part. Now, as Paul wrote, all he has to do is go on ruling until all his enemies have been put under his feet. There's no “if”. It's just “until”. It's a sure thing. And so is the witness of his church. It doesn't always seem that way. Sometimes it seems like we're going backwards and things are getting worse. People won't listen or won't take us seriously. Sometimes we're tempted to give up. Sometimes we act like all Jesus did was come to earth to give us a rousing pep talk, then he went back home to heaven. But read the Gospels and that's not it at all. He hasn't just gone back to heaven and left us alone. He's ascended to his throne, where he rules and reigns over his kingdom, which—remember—is like seed planted in the soil and like leaven in a lump of dough and like a man who had two sons. And one day, through his people—through us—the work of his word and the work of his Spirit will be done. The world will know his death and resurrection, it will know the forgiveness of sins, it will know the end of death, it will know mercy and grace. The knowledge of his glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Because Jesus died and rose again, because the Lord's word does not return void, and because he does not give his Spirit in vain. Let's pray: O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus the Messiah with great triumph to your right hand in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us for the task you have given, and that we might look forward in hope to the day when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. Amen.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of TVO's ‘The Agenda' , Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate, Discuss: 1 - A 2025 poll indicates that 45% of Canadians support the constitutional monarchy, while 39% favor a republic. Given the current support levels, what do you foresee as the future of the monarchy in Canada? Do you support its continuation or advocate for a republic? How might King Charles III's visit influence Canada's diplomatic relations, especially with countries like the United States? 2 - In light of the Lapu Lapu Day attack and yesterday's events in Liverpool, how hesitant are you about attending public events with large crowds? Should all festivals be treated equally when it comes to safety funding, or should some be prioritized based on perceived threat levels? What does that say about whose safety matters more? How do we prevent reactive security funding from becoming a substitute for addressing the root causes of violence and extremism? 3 - Toronto teens are being trafficked to Thunder Bay for the drug trade. What role do systemic issues, such as poverty and lack of opportunities, play in making youth susceptible to exploitation by criminal organizations? Is it ethical to criminalize minors involved in drug trafficking when they may be victims of exploitation? 4 - Are strict CanCon rules protecting Canadian culture — or propping up a creative industry that can't compete globally on its own? Should Canadian audiences be forced to consume a quota of “Canadian” content — even if they prefer U.S. or international media? Is it hypocritical for the CBC — which partners with U.S. companies like Netflix — to call for tighter restrictions on foreign involvement in Canadian productions? Learn more about your ad choices.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 45-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,492 on turnover of $2.9-billion N-T. Taiwan-China interactions continue despite stalled talks: MAC head Mainland Affairs Council head Chiu Chui-cheng says Taiwan and China still maintain some level of interaction, even though official dialogue has stalled. In an interview,Chiu said interactions with China are being carried out in line with the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area. Chiu acknowledged that maintaining "normal dialogue" is currently difficult because Taiwan will never accept China's demand to treat the "1992 Consensus," based on the "One China principle," as a precondition (前提). Nevertheless, Chiu said some interaction continues between the MAC and China's Taiwan Affairs Office, as well as between the semi-official SEF and its Chinese counterpart, the Beijing-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits. Chiu also says individuals across the Strait, including Taiwanese businesspeople, scholars and journalists, frequently travel between the two sides and share information.

Amnesty says “these acts violate (違反) international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes.” The decades-long conflict in eastern Congo escalated in January. The Rwanda-backed M23 advanced and seized the strategic city of Goma in North Kivu province followed by Bukavu in February. Amnesty said that between February and April it interviewed 18 civilians who had been unlawfully detained by M23.

Prince Harry has issued a deeply personal and emotional plea for reconciliation with his family, lamenting that his father, King Charles III, “won't speak to me” and reflecting on the monarch's ongoing health battle.Speaking to the BBC shortly after a legal defeat in his ongoing battle for police protection in the United Kingdom, the Duke of Sussex said, “"Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things, but I would love reconcilation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore.Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has.”Harry, 40, lost his appeal on May 2 against a Home Office decision to strip him of publicly funded security following his and Meghan's departure from royal duties in 2020. The court upheld that the ruling was “understandable and perhaps predictable,” given the changing nature of the Duke's visits and the UK's approach to risk.Yet Harry remains convinced the matter could be resolved within the family, saying, “There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands… Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him. Not necessarily by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts to do what is necessary.”The Palace has consistently refuted suggestions that the King has the authority to reinstate Harry's police protection. Even so, the issue has become a bitter point of contention. According to sources, though father and son had a positive meeting in February 2024 following Charles's cancer diagnosis, communication has since dried up. “His calls go unanswered,” a friend of Harry's said last year. “He gets ‘unavailable right now'.”After attending a two-day appeal hearing in London in April, Harry told *People* he felt “exhausted and overwhelmed,” adding that his “worst fears have been confirmed by the whole legal disclosure in this case — and that's really sad.”In a formal statement after the court ruling, Harry revealed plans to write to the Home Secretary requesting a review of the RAVEC process, saying, “This legal action has been a last resort, but one that has uncovered shocking truths, starting with the fact that the Royal Household are key decision-makers on RAVEC and my sole representation for matters regarding my safety.”The Duke also addressed the broader implications for his young family. “I can't see a world where I would bring Meghan and the kids back to the U.K. given the security concerns,” he said. “I love my country. I always have done — despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the U.K… I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland.”He concluded with a pointed warning: “If anything was to happen to me, my wife, or my father's grandchildren, look where the responsibility lies.”The statement, dated 2025, comes on letterhead with a stylized H below a crown.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Earlier this year Dr Kurt Martens, Professor of Canon Law at the Catholic University of America, joined Damian Thompson on Holy Smoke to unpack what happens during a papal conclave. There was heightened interest in the process due to the film Conclave, which swept the awards season, but also because Pope Francis was hospitalised at the time. Despite showing some signs of recovery – including being able to meet world leaders such as King Charles III and J.D. Vance – Pope Francis died on Easter Monday. Here we reissue the episode with Dr Martens, looking at what happens when a pope dies, with a new introduction from Damian. Writing the cover article for the Spectator this week, Damian writes: ‘the next Vicar of Christ will face challenges that dwarf those that confronted any incoming pope in living memory. The Church is mired in doctrinal confusion; its structures of government are fragmented; sexual scandals have been hushed up at the highest level; and it is staring into a financial abyss'. What can we expect from the upcoming conclave? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

There was heightened interest in the process due to the film Conclave, which swept the awards season, but also because Pope Francis was hospitalised at the time. Despite showing some signs of recovery – including being able to meet world leaders such as King Charles III and J.D. Vance – Pope Francis died on Easter Monday. Here we reissue the episode with Dr Martens, looking at what happens when a pope dies, with a new introduction from Damian. Writing the cover article for the Spectator this week, Damian writes: ‘the next Vicar of Christ will face challenges that dwarf those that confronted any incoming pope in living memory. The Church is mired in doctrinal confusion; its structures of government are fragmented; sexual scandals have been hushed up at the highest level; and it is staring into a financial abyss'. What can we expect from the upcoming conclave? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

It's Tuesday, April 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pope Francis, who affirmed homosexual ideology, has died Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed once for man to die, and after that the judgment.” The Roman Catholic Pope Francis died Monday of a stroke and heart failure, reports The Epoch Times. He was 88 years old. Francis was not shy to enter into international politics. The pope had recently stated that the Trump administration policies removing illegal immigrants would “end badly.” He had also approved of the Vatican policy allowing church blessings for homosexual couples living in unnatural relations one with another. And he made numerous comments publicly lauding those who advocate LGBT ideology. Francis will also be remembered for his signing over the installation of Catholic bishops in China to the Communist Government. The deal was first signed in 2018, and then renewed in 2020, 2022, and 2024. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo commented on the travesty, stating that “It's clear that the Sino-Vatican agreement has not shielded Catholics from the Party's depredations, to say nothing of the Party's horrific treatment of Christians.” King Charles references Islam in his “Easter message” Sadly, the King of England took opportunity in his “Easter message” to refer to Judaism and Islam, instead of representing the Christian faith, reports The Christian Post. Referring to Jesus, King Charles said, “The love He showed when He walked the Earth reflected the Jewish ethic of caring for the stranger and those in need, a deep human instinct echoed in Islam and other religious traditions, and in the hearts of all who seek the good of others.” Ostensibly, King Charles III is the head of the English Anglican Church. No wonder the Disciples of Christ tweeted, “King Charles is neglecting his role as Defender of the Faith.” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an atheist, was a little more encouraging to Christians in his Easter message, referencing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as “a story of hope, redemption and renewal.” He also referred sympathetically with “Christians facing hardship, persecution or conflict around the world who cannot celebrate freely.” Supreme Court: Can parents opt kids out of LGBT propaganda? The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments today from parents in Maryland concerning the public school ban on their opting out their kids on storybook readings on homosexual pride parades, gender transitions, and drag queens, reports USA Today. Mostly Muslim and Christian parents have wanted to opt their children out. Colorado set to punish parents for objecting to kid's gender transition The Colorado State House has approved what may be the worst bill in the nation. The current legislative wording is geared to criminalize parents for disagreeing with their children on gender identity, compel speech, and punish those who hold faith-based or scientific beliefs about sex and gender, reports The Gospel Coalition. Specifically, Colorado liberal legislators could punish a parent guilty of “deadnaming” which is using the transgender child's birth name or “misgendering” which is using pronouns that align with the child's actual biological sex. The legislators describe these actions as forms of “coercive control” which would be considered threatening or intimidating behaviors that courts could consider when determining child custody. Republican Rep. Chris Richardson spoke out against the bill. RICHARDSON: “This is not protecting children, it's weaponizing the courts against parents. This would allow a parent who may be navigating an incredibly complex and emotional issue with their child to lose custody for not affirming a gender identity they may not understand.” Last week, pastors gathered at the capital to protest the bill. Leaders included Pastors Matt Patrick of The Well Church in Boulder, Chris Goble of Ridgeline Community Church in Castle Rock, and Matt Johnson of BRAVE Church in Englewood. The bill is heading for the Democrat-dominated Colorado Senate for approval. Will pastors stand in the gap? Ezekial 22:30 reads of impending judgment: “And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.” Is Colorado the most anti-gun state? Colorado is also poised to become the most anti-gun state in America. Indeed, 12 bills restricting gun rights have already passed. The state legislature is considering a record 18 more anti-gun bills this season, which would further restrict gun rights, as monitored by the Rocky Mountain Gunowners Association. Family arrested for “kidnapping” own kids over vaccine issue A Massachusetts homeschool family has been arrested for “kidnapping” their own children. They are held on a $200,000 bond or $20,000 cash bail. The couple's five children have reportedly been taken into custody by Child Protective Services. The extreme response was allegedly sparked by the parents' informed decision to decline to vaccinate their healthy nine-month-old baby, on what they called “sincerely-held religious beliefs.” They had attempted an escape to Texas, where they were hunted down and arrested. Walgreens pays $350 million for prescription Walgreens has agreed to pay up to $350 million for allegedly filling unlawful opioid prescriptions, without taking the time to confirm that the prescriptions were lawful, reports Fox 4. The suit was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration. This is in addition to paying $5.5 billion for a plethora of suits filed by local and state governments. Walgreens is on a path to bankruptcy, planning 1,200 store closures in the next few years. Drug overdose deaths have killed 1.25 million Americans since 1999 — more than the deaths caused by COVID-19. Dow and the Nasdaq composite dropped The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,000 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 3.5% on a Bear Monday. The NASDAQ registered an 18% drop since the first of the year. Meanwhile, gold topped $3,400 per ounce —another record high. The gold-to-silver ratio reached 105-fold — an all-time high. Historically, the ratio has been 20 to 1. Pat Boone is back And finally, Pat Boone is back on the charts with another Adult Contemporary Hit.

BOONE: “One. I am one. Like no other human being, I am one.” GREENWOOD: “And in my life, there is a meaning. There is worth.
