The crowd celebrated as the Catholic leader walked along the Champs-Élysées under the Arc de Triomphe monument, receiving the hands of the faithful while in a special papal car. The Pope blessed several young children while greeting the faithful at various locations along the road, as the sounds of people shouting, "Today, Today," were heard on both sides. More than half a million people are expected to participate in the event held in the capital of France on Saturday. Special stands have also been built in the Place de la Concorde area for the ceremony. The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, who met the Pope on a one-hour discussion on Friday, will not participate in any mass during the Pope's four-day visit to the country. This action aims to avoid violating France's strict principles of separating religion and government. However, the Mass held on the Champs-Élysées will be attended by the President's wife, Brigitte Macron, along with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu. Some of the presidential candidates for next year are also expected to attend the event. 11 people killed in a bomb attack in Pakistan Police in Pakistan have said that no less than 11 people were killed and others were injured following a bomb explosion in the Dera Ismail Khan area, northwest of the country. According to the police, a vehicle carrying explosives hit a security checkpoint. Among those killed were two female soldiers and one child. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants have previously carried out such attacks against security forces. The incident occurred two days after Pakistan announced that it had conducted air strikes against militants suspected of residing in Afghanistan and who were targeting its forces in the border areas. President of Iran: America wants to overthrow the Iranian government The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, has said that America aims to overthrow the Iranian government and not to find a solution to the existing conflict, emphasizing that Tehran still has no trust in Washington. "America's intention is not to solve this problem, but to overthrow our government. The Israeli Prime Minister has been very clear in his speeches that his goal is to remove this government from power, not to negotiate. We are ready to negotiate with all our hearts, but we will not accept threats or pressure, and we will not accept being forced to surrender," Pezeshkian said in an interview with CBS. In response to the question about the possibility of meeting Donald Trump, Pezeshkian said: "There is currently a great mistrust between Iran and America. The reason is that we have negotiated with America several times, and we reached an agreement through the JCPOA. However, after several months of negotiations and reaching that agreement, the then-US president withdrew from that agreement." Pezeshkian added: "First and foremost, this mistrust that has been built must be broken. This can be achieved by implementing what we agreed to and writing it down. America must show through action that it has no intention of overthrowing our government and our system of governance." Rouhani: Victory is not just about stopping attacks The former President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, has said that the victory of the war should not end in just stopping attacks, but should bring lasting security, reduce the possibility of further attacks, and bring the country back on the path of development. Rouhani made this statement in response to recent protests following his remarks about nighttime gatherings. He said his discussion was about the importance of national goals being supported by the people, and not about voting on opinions regarding self-protection against attacks. Rouhani emphasized that his statements were not distorted, saying: "I did not mention the vote of opinion or the vote of decisions." He added that Iran did not start the war, and when it is attacked, it has the right to protect itself. "That is one of the basic principles," he said. The former president said his argument was that the long-term goals of the nation need to be supported by the wider society to strengthen strength, prosperity, peace, national unity, and Iran's status. Rouhani recently called for a "respectful end to the war," saying that it seems some people do not like negotiations. "We should, considering the wishes of the majority, end the war with respect so that we can rebuild the country and compensate for the losses caused," he said. Following these remarks, government followers organized nighttime demonstrations in various areas, with some of them gathering in front of Rouhani's house in the coming days wanting to be taken to court.

This action is recent in the ongoing tension between the White House and the media, after the White House had to remove a ban that was in place against some media institutions. CNN was scheduled to accompany Trump on his trip to Tennessee to attend a football match at the universities in the United States. However, the schedule provided by the White House on Friday night did not show the name of CNN. BBC has asked the White House to comment on the decision. CNN has reported that no other news outlet was named to take its place in the presidential schedule. Last week, Trump banned journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from entering the White House, accusing them of publishing "fabricated or false information" about his rule. These three news outlets said they are taking legal action against the decision and accusing Trump of violating their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Meanwhile, four television networks that share time in reporting White House activities along with CNN, namely ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC, temporarily suspended the broadcast of presidential activities as a sign of solidarity with the banned outlets. Iran issues new warning to America Iran's Ministry of Defense, Khatam al-Anbiya, has warned America that if Washington commits "any wrong" against Iran, all of America's military camps, its armies, and its interests in the region will be targets for attack. According to the news agency Mehr, which is affiliated with the Iranian government, the warning was issued while Tehran awaited America's response to its proposal for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of fighting in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The agency said that the Middle East region is currently facing a sensitive security situation, with American military movements causing fears of escalating tensions. Meanwhile, diplomatic and mediation efforts are ongoing to find a solution to the conflict. According to Mehr, Tehran's stance is that "Iran will not start a war, but if the enemy starts a war, Iran is fully ready to protect its security and borders." The statement increases the tension in words between Iran and America as diplomatic efforts continue regarding the future of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important global oil transportation routes. Read More: Iraq wants America to allow the return of Iranian planes The Iraqi Prime Minister's Office has said that there are direct negotiations with America to remove new restrictions on some Iraqi airbases that target Iranian airlines. In the recent round of sanctions, America has threatened to impose restrictions on airbases that receive or provide services to Iranian planes. As a result, many of Iran's plane flights to neighboring countries, including Iraq, have been suspended in recent days. In the information released on Saturday, the Iraqi Prime Minister's Office said that these negotiations aim to obtain a pardon that would allow the return of flights for humanitarian purposes, including medical care, education, religious rites, and other matters concerning citizens. The information added that the Iraqi government is continuing to make efforts to reduce tensions in the region, emphasizing that the continuation of conflicts will only make the situation more difficult. Iraq has also asked all relevant parties to find a solution to end the current conflict and tensions through negotiations and diplomacy. "The solution that is found should consider the interests of the country and its people," the information said. Police: The woman found hanging in a tree was already dead Caution: This information may contain disturbing details. Police in Mississippi, USA have said they believe that the found Black woman was already hanged when her body was "prepared" and hung in the tree. The information was released in court on Friday by one of the investigators of the case, who also said they believe that Tasia Fortune, the mother of four, was killed following a drug-related conflict. The 29-year-old woman's body was found hanging in a tree in an abandoned house in Jackson in August. The discovery caused great fear in the predominantly Black city due to the long history of racial violence and acts of hanging in Mississippi. After several weeks of rumors and pressure for more information, the police made arrests of several people in connection with the incident. In a statement to the media, the police said that the autopsy doctor found that Fortune's death was murder, and that the scene and the act of hanging the body "were arranged to look like a suicide." The officers did not specify the actual cause of death nor explain why they believed the body was hanged after the deceased had died. The deceased's mother, who spoke to the BBC, said she remembers the autopsy doctor telling her: "We are not investigating this incident as a real suicide." She also said she was told that her daughter had already died before being hung in the tree. The mother remembered the police telling her that the incident was related to drugs. Speaking to reporters outside the Jackson Police Headquarters on Friday, she said she believes her daughter fought until the last minutes of her life. "I know she fought. I know my daughter," she said. Fortune left four children aged 7, 5, 4, and 1. Wearing a shirt with the writing "Justice for Tasia Fortune," the mother said she did not want to see innocent people imprisoned in prison. "I hope they caught the right people," she said. Three people have been arrested so far in connection with the case, all of whom are Black. Among them are Jarques Ratliff, aged 51, who has pleaded not guilty and continues to be held without bail. Another person, Earnest Lloyd Jr, aged 25, was arrested this week. The third suspect, Eric Clark, aged 45, surrendered to the authorities on Friday and is charged with murder. He is expected to be brought before the court on Monday. Fortune's death is among several cases of Black people found hanged that have recently sparked calls for the US Department of Justice and the FBI to thoroughly investigate all such deaths in the country. Congressman Ayanna Pressley of the Democratic party has said there were at least 10 recorded incidents of this type, according to a letter she sent to the House in September that was supported by more than 50 members. The most recent incident occurred in Prince George's County, near Washington DC, where the death of a found Black man who was hanging was ruled a suicide. OpenAI company admits its robots intervened in US government websites The OpenAI company has admitted that it shocked several organizations worldwide that their websites had been improperly interfered with by its artificial intelligence (AI) robots. OpenAI said its AI agents tried to obtain information from "government, universities, public organizations and other institutions," including the US Security and Census Bureau, the US Census Bureau, and the US Department of Education. The revelation comes a few days after the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, announced that OpenAI agents had entered files that were not public in the government's health program website. Since August, fear has increased about the possibility of artificial intelligence tools operating outside of human control, a situation that could have major or even endanger lives. OpenAI said some of this information was obtained by its AI agents, which are robots designed to work to a certain degree of autonomy and were searching for "reliable sources of public information." However, the company admitted that some of these robots crossed boundaries and tried to evade the security measures in various websites. For example, when trying to get information from the US Census Bureau, these AI agents used tools used by software developers to gain access to that information. OpenAI insisted that all the government information obtained by its robots was already publicly available and there was no secret data obtained. EPL clubs will seek compensation against Man City The English Premier League clubs have begun seeking legal advice to determine if they can claim compensation following the lawsuit against Manchester City. After waiting a long time for the outcome of the case, Manchester City was found guilty of breaching a large part of the financial regulations that it was alleged to have violated. BBC Sport has also reported that the club is planning to appeal against that decision. It has been established that even before the news emerged on Friday, some Premier League clubs had already started seeking legal advice about the possibility of claiming financial compensation due to the alleged breach by City. Read More: Trump rejects peace plan, Iran waits for US action On Saturday, Iran was waiting for an official response from the US regarding its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, after the Wall Street Journal reported that US President Donald Trump had rejected the proposal. Iran submitted this diplomatic plan at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, saying that it was submitted to the US through Qatari mediators. According to Iran, the plan could reopen this vital waterway and end hostility in the region within seven days. Iran also negotiated with its long-time adversary, Saudi Arabia, about the Strait of Hormuz, which shows the gravity of the seven-month conflict that has affected oil flow through one of the most important global shipping routes and affected the world economy. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, told reporters at the United Nations on Friday that the agreement would initiate a seven-day period towards reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the fighting in the region. "If the American side has the genuine intention to reach an agreement and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now ready," Araghchi said. Araghchi said that if America accepts the proposal, the parties involved in the conflict can begin broader negotiations about "agreed-upon issues." Read More: Hello.
