and yesterday and has now moved back into China, although

This is the first papal visit to Timor Leste since
nineteen eighty nine, when Timor Lestee was still under Indonesian occupation.

Timor Leste is possibly the country with the highest percentage
of Catholics in the world, after the Vatican City itself,
as around ninety eight percent of its one million people
describe themselves as Catholic. An Israeli airstrike in Syria killed
twenty five people yesterday. According to the UK human rights charity,
(01:35):
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the target appeared to
be a military research center. In Taiwan, there have been
mass protests to release the former mayor of Taipei, Ko
Weenji Co, was arrested for a second time on Thursday
(01:56):
in relation to alleged corruption during his time as many.
America's Venezuelan opposition leader. Edmundo Gonzalez is the quote best
hope for democracy unquote, according to United States Secretary of
State Anthony Blincoln. Gonzalez is now in exile in Spain
(02:20):
after fears for his safety in Venezuela, where his party
says that the presidential election in July was rigged. Fellow
opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said this weekend that she
would like more help from the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I certainly think the United States should do much more,
and I've been very clear to them and to other countries.
I think that perpetrators of human rights violations and crimes
against humanity should know that they will be held account
because it sends a message to the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
In Canada, a Pakistani man has been charged with planning
an anti Semitic attack in the United States. The United
States Attorney General Merrick Garland said that twenty year old
Mohammad Shasid Khan planned to travel to New York and
kill as many Jewish people as possible. Africa, in Sudan,
(03:27):
at least twenty one people have been killed after a
market was bombed, according to a doctors' union. The union
blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. This weekend, the Sudanese
Army rejected a proposal from the United Nations experts to
send an international peacekeeping mission to Sudan to protect civilians.
(03:53):
Egypt and Ethiopia have sent opposing letters to the United
Nations Security Council regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The
dam is on the Blue Nile River, which supplies most
of the water for the Nile River, and Egypt opposes
the use of the dam because it affects how much
(04:15):
water is available for Egypt. Almost all of Egypt's water
comes from the Nile. For Ethiopia, the dam is seen
as an important source of electricity production, with the plan
to export electricity to neighboring countries. Guinea Bissau's police say
(04:35):

Hungary has threatened to bus migrants to Belgium's cap city
(05:00):
Brussels in retaliation for a two hundred million euro fine

breaking European Union law about seeking asylum. Belgian Foreign Affairs
Minister Haja Lahbib said that Hungary's threat was a provocation
(05:22):
that contradicts European obligations. In Portugal, five prisoners have escaped
from a high security prison. The five men from Portugal, Georgia,
Argentina and the UK have been described as extremely dangerous
and the public have been warned to stay away from them.
(05:45):
And In Italy, one of the most famous pizza your
Law pizza chefs, has caused a controversy by starting to
sell a pizza with watermelon. It is often said that
Italys think that it is a crime to put pineapple
on pizza, which was started in Canada in the nineteen sixties. However,
(06:08):
the Pizza Dia Sorbilo in Naples, one of the most
popular pizzerias in Italy, has started selling the watermelon pizza
created by head Pizzaolo Gino Sorbilo. That's your World News
