What would you point to in terms of how he interacted with politicians? Because it's a pretty controversial legacy he has, isn't it? It is, and that's the problem that every pope wants to avoid, meaning the question of how silent a pope can be in the face of war crimes and genocide. And so here you had a church that was very much in between Soviet communism on

on one side and fascism and nazism on the other side. But everything was dealt at the level of ideology of we Catholics, we communists. Of course what we have now is an American pope and an American president locking horns. And I just wonder, looking back to more recent times, when we have a Polish pope, John Paul II, being seen as a real beacon in the fight against communism.

He knew he had almost the entirety of the Polish people behind him. That cannot be said for Pope Leo, because America is very polarized. How unusual is it for the Pope, the current one, to very specifically saying, look, I'm not afraid of what the Trump administration is going to say, being quite direct in standing his ground against, well, specifically the riposte from the White House?

Has the Pope always been a political figure to a certain extent?

Kyllä, katolikko on erittäin poliittinen ymmärrys itseänsä, eikä partisaalinen ymmärrys. Poliittinen tarkoittaa, että huolehditaan suuremmin ympäristöä, ympäristöä,

mutta hyödyntäisit myös yhden poliittisen partin, yhden kansan ja yhden johtajan puolesta. Se on katolaisismin DNA, mutta tämä on erilainen, koska hän käsittelee hallituksesta, joka sanoo, että he ovat ilmaisessa missiossa. Se on todella vaikeaa, ettei Devantecan vastaa.

Colombia has announced that it's going to begin a cull of its invasive hippopotamus population, which is descended from animals smuggled in by the late narco-terrorist Pablo Escobar. The government says the beasts, which form the only wild population of hippos living outside Africa, are threatening its ecosystems and native species, as well as posing a danger to local people, as Alice Adeli reports.

In the 1980s Pablo Escobar was renowned for being a violent cartel leader, but he was less known for creating an extravagant private zoo featuring more than a thousand exotic animals smuggled from overseas. The wildlife included giraffes, elephants, zebras, rhinos and exotic birds.

but the most famous and destructive part of the collection was four African hippos, one male and three females. After Escobar was killed in 1993 in a shootout with Colombian security forces, the hippos escaped from his abandoned hacienda and began breeding, thriving in the Colombian climate with no natural predators. Now there are estimated to be up to 200 of their descendants living in the wild.

Ympäristöministeri Irene Velez sanoi, että tutkimuksen jälkeen hallitus laittoi euthanasia-protokollin kontrolliin kokainhippujen numeroon. Nyt me olemme...

While some of the hippos, which roam freely in the Magdalena River Valley, will be culled, others will be sterilized or moved. Maybe some will be lucky enough to end up in the family-orientated theme park and wildlife sanctuary, which Escobar's former ranch, Hacienda Napoles, has become. Alice Adderley reporting.

The president said the drawing was a fake and sued the paper, which is owned by his former friend Rupert Murdoch.
