LAMPEDUSA (ANP/AFP) - Paus Leo XIV is op bezoek op het Italiaanse eiland Lampedusa. Dat is een belangrijk toegangspunt voor migranten die de gevaarlijke overtocht vanuit Afrika wagen.
De paus bezocht een begraafplaats waar niet-geïdentificeerde migranten begraven liggen. Ook sprak hij met een migrantenfamilie. Het bezoek van Leo vindt plaats twee weken nadat het Europees Parlement heeft ingestemd met strengere regels voor het terugsturen van afgewezen asielzoekers.
Lampedusa staat bekend om het medeleven dat het toont aan de migranten. De paus zei eerder al dat hij het eiland graag wilde bezoeken. Hij spreekt zich, net als zijn voorganger paus Franciscus, regelmatig uit over de behandeling van migranten.
De oversteek van de Middellandse Zee vanuit Noord-Afrika is de dodelijkste migratieroute ter wereld. Volgens de Internationale Organisatie voor Migratie (IOM) kwamen vorig jaar ongeveer 1330 mensen om het leven of raakten vermist tijdens de overtocht.
There are plenty of reasons for Americans to feel discomfort about the behavior of their country. But sports have a way of bringing joy and unity
The US men’s national team are on the verge of history. One win away from matching their best-ever run in the World Cup’s modern era, they are playing with more verve and quality than they ever have before at this stage. Wednesday’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina has begotten a rarity: American soccer, in the spotlight, in America.
To longtime US soccer fans, the question of whether to support this particular team at this particular time is barely a question. Or if it is one, it’s vaguely along the lines of “should I breathe?”

Les Bleus look unstoppable – all six of our judges ranked them No 1. Sweden did their best to cope with the French front four but were blown away by the slickest operation in town. Even when an opponent is feeling comfortable, Michael Olise or Kylian Mbappé can produce genius without notice, ripping apart the best-organised defences. “I did say that I wanted to enjoy this World Cup to the fullest,” Mbappé told reporters after the Sweden game. It is hard to imagine the fun stopping any time soon.

Decline.
Labour has approved a wave of renewable energy projects, but turning plans into power remains slow. Why is that?
Labour has a race on its hands if it is to lock in its promise to achieve a virtually zero-carbon electricity system by 2030.
Britain’s next prime minister will have to move fast: the climate emergency is raging, high energy bills are driving up the cost of living and the reactionary right is threatening a fossil fuel push if it wins power.

‘Let’s go save some lives.” That’s the mantra of Noah Wyle’s A&E doctor at the start of every shift in The Pitt. The gritty US hospital drama seems an unlikely contender to be the most hopeful show on air. Yet despite the death, disease and pointed social commentary, The Pitt somehow pulls it off.
The smash HBO hit’s second season climaxed last night in a blaze of Fourth of July fireworks, group cuddles, cute babies and cathartic karaoke. A third season is about to enter production. For millions of devoted fans, it can’t be stretchered back on to our screens soon enough.
