World news today spans public devotion, public health and public trust. In Madrid, more than a million worshippers packed the streets for an open-air Mass led by Pope Leo XIV, turning the city into a vast expression of faith as the pontiff urged Spaniards to see religion as a living force rather than a relic. In eastern Congo, the mood was far grimmer, where overstretched Ebola workers in Mongbwalu described exhausting shifts, delayed pay and too few resources as aid agencies seek funds to contain the outbreak. On the sports front, England beat New Zealand by 115 runs at Lord’s, with Gus Atkinson’s five-wicket haul sealing a commanding start to the Test series. But football was overshadowed by alarm after Denmark’s Christian Eriksen collapsed during a friendly against Ukraine; the match was abandoned, though officials later said he was conscious. In Britain, meanwhile, prosecutors warned police against countering online misinformation during the Henry Nowak trial, fearing it could compromise justice.
