Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh.
Chapter 2: What significant events surround Pope Leo XIV's anniversary as the first American Pope?
It has been nearly a year since Pope Leo XIV became the first American elected to lead the Roman Catholic Church. On the eve of that anniversary, he received U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is Catholic. Their meeting comes at a low point in relations between the Vatican and the United States under President Trump.
Reporter Megan Williams says Rubio and the Pope discussed efforts to resolve conflicts in the Middle East, among other issues.
Given how short the list is of shared commitments, it's also indicative of the gulf between the Vatican and the White House on so many issues. Now, to be fair to Rubio, he had to walk a tightrope. He had to show respect for the Pope while staying true to the president, who has repeatedly attacked the Pope.
Megan Williams speaking with NPR's Morning Edition. A new poll suggests Americans believe many members of Congress are too old. NPR's Elena Moore. reports on the latest findings from NPR, PBS News, and Marist.
The poll looked at support for maximum age limits and term limits for members of Congress, and it found that the vast majority of Americans, 8 and 10, support both. It's also got bipartisan backing. 78% of Democrats and 83% of Republicans like the idea of age caps, and similar amounts support term limits. 18-year-old Michael Hatch of Eudora, Kansas, feels that way about leaders in Washington.
They just might be out of touch. You got 70, 80-year-olds in Congress running the country. It's not representing people like me. But support for age and term limits goes past young folks, the generation with the most support, Gen X, folks in their late 40s to early 60s. Elena Moore, NPR News.
An effort is underway to trace the whereabouts and contacts of several passengers on a luxury cruise liner dealing with a deadly outbreak of Hantavirus. The World Health Organization confirms eight cases have been reported, including three deaths and three suspected cases evacuated from medical care.
As Michael Koloke reports, the WHO says there could be more infections in the pipeline due to the long incubation period of the virus.
The operators of the MV Hondias ship say passengers from at least 12 countries, among them six Americans, had previously disembarked on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena. Hantavirus is a rodent-borne virus which can cause fatal respiratory illness.
