Olympics pre-race triathlon event in Seine River cancelled over water quality concerns
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a famous dip in the river less than two weeks before Olympic events were set to start, hoping to prove that the infamously polluted waterway was clean enough to host swimming competitions.

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage.

In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise.
