The world said goodbye to Pope Francis this week.

Tens of thousands of mourners queued to pay their respects as he lay in state in St Peter’s Basilica over three days of mourning. We discussed his life and legacy, the geopolitics of his papal funeral, and look towards the conclave that will follow.

This week, Russian forces launched the heaviest assault on Ukraine’s capital since last summer.

70 missiles and 145 drones hit a civilian district in Kyiv, in a week that began with a sudden announcement from the Kremlin of a 30 hour Easter truce, seen as peace posturing propaganda by European leaders. President Trump claimed he has his own private deadline in mind before he will walk away from efforts for a “real truce”, making a personal appeal to Putin - “Vladimir, stop” he typed on social media, writing that he’s not happy with Russian strikes, although in person, no such narrative.

It’s also been a week of renewed tensions between India and Pakistan, after the deadliest attack on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir for twenty five years. Militants posing as police shot and killed 25 Indian tourists and one Nepalese citizen in a Himalayan mountain retreat. Kashmir, which is claimed by both India and Pakistan has been a flashpoint for insurgency for decades, but attacks on tourists are rare.

Produced by Gavin Lee, Luis Miguel Cabrera, Aurore Laborie, Charles Wente.
