As the world mourns Pope Francis, attention now turns to Vatican City's ancient traditions. The black and white smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel’s chimney will once again guide millions awaiting news of the next pope. Each puff tells a powerful story—black means no decision, white means a new pontiff has been chosen. This sacred ritual, deeply rooted in Catholic history, is the most visible symbol of a centuries-old conclave. Here’s how the symbolic smoke works and what it means in the selection of the next spiritual leader of the Catholic Church.

Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up. Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation. The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire. Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals.
