Das ist so unglaublich. 80.000 junge französische Katholiken singen gemeinsam mit Papst Leo XIV. bei einer Gebetsvigil im Stade de France das Salve Regina auf Latein. Das Abendland ist lebendiger als viele denken.

First it was done in Spain, now France. Here we have a record breaking number of 700,000 faithfuls who attended the Mass presided over by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV in France. The faith is alive. I pray that this renewal be sustained. A place where 8% of Catholics attend daily Mass, this is a good sign. I am humbled💯 Viva Cristo Rey.

🇨🇳 🇪🇬 De nombreux accords commerciaux : la visite en Égypte cette semaine de Xi Jinping, le président chinois, scelle un tout nouveau chapitre des relations sino-égyptiennes. Et c'est le canal de Suez, point géostratégique majeur, qui semble rythmer cette nouvelle donne.

Mon cap. Mon cap est dans mon premier ordre du jour aux marins. Je rends hommage à mon prédécesseur l’amiral Nicolas Vaujour, pour son action à la tête de la @MarineNationale. Au moment où les rapports de force se durcissent, nous devons être prêts. Nous devons gagner des marges de manœuvre pour constituer le système de forces hybride et augmenté qui nous permettra de conserver notre supériorité opérationnelle. J’ai confiance en chaque marin. L’esprit d’équipage, fondement de la Marine, nous permettra de relever ensemble tous nos défis.

Mission VA268: Ariane 6 has reached the launch pad. At Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, the central core of Ariane 6 for mission VA268 has been transferred from the Launcher Integration Building (BAL) to the launch pad. Once in front of the mobile gantry, the stage was raised to a vertical position, a key milestone in the launcher assembly process. This operation initiates the final assembly phase on the pad, where Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6, will progressively come together. Scheduled for April 28, 2026, mission VA268 will place 32 @Amazonleo satellites into low Earth orbit, demonstrating once again Ariane 6’s capability to support large-scale constellation deployments. The campaign is underway. #LaunchingAmbitions @Amazonleo @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

Taiwan’s main opposition party Kuomintang (KMT) Chair Cheng Li-wun has announced a six-day visit to China starting April 7, at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping. “I hope that relations across the Taiwan Strait are not a zero-sum game, nor a life-and-death rivalry. We can definitely achieve a win-win outcome, where both sides can thrive together in shared prosperity and mutual benefit,” Cheng told a press conference in Taipei on Monday. Cheng is scheduled to visit Jiangsu, Shanghai and Beijing. The trip will mark the first visit by a KMT chair to China in almost a decade. It also comes just a month before US President Donald Trump is set to visit Beijing. This is a developing story.
