Leo, the first US pope, criticizes nationalist politics at Sunday Mass
Leo, the first pope from the U.S., asked during a Mass with a crowd of tens of thousands in St. Peter's Square that God would "open borders, break down walls (and) dispel hatred."
"There is no room for prejudice, for 'security' zones separating us from our neighbors, for the exclusionary mindset that, unfortunately, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms," said the pontiff.

Germany plans to buy additional 15 F-35 fighter jets, Politico reports
Germany plans to buy 15 additional F-35 fighter jets, Politico reported on Friday, citing several people familiar with the matter. This move would increase the country's planned fleet of the U.S.-made jet to 50. The report comes amid tensions between Germany and France over the joint Franco-German fighter jet FCAS partnership, following a report earlier this week that France now seeks an 80% workshare.
