 Pope Leo XIV and Trump clash over Iran war and immigration as Vatican-White House divide widens Pope Leo XIV and President Trump are engaged in an escalating public dispute over immigration policy and the war involving Iran, highlighting a widening divide between the Vatican and the White House on issues of war, diplomacy, and humanitarian concerns. The tension has grown as the pope sharply criticized Trump’s rhetoric about the conflict, calling threats suggesting widespread destruction of a civilization “truly unacceptable” and warning that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law. He has repeatedly urged restraint, diplomacy, and an end to inflammatory language surrounding the war. Leading U.S. Catholic figures, including Cardinal Blase Cupich and Cardinal Robert McElroy, have echoed those concerns, condemning civilian harm and questioning whether the conflict meets traditional just war standards, while other Catholic leaders have also criticized U.S. immigra...

 Carrick not interested in personal Glasner duel


Michael Carrick says the chance to inflict damage on one of the men thought to be a contender to be Manchester United's next head coach will not be a motivating factor in Sunday's game against Crystal Palace. Palace manager Oliver Glasner is second favourite for the permanent role with most bookmakers, despite a troubled campaign in which he has openly criticised his club's board, lost in the FA Cup to Macclesfield and fallen out with supporters amid a struggling Premier League campaign.


Interim United boss Carrick is now the favourite, thanks to five wins and a draw from his six games in charge. It is a record which, after Aston Villa's shock defeat at Wolves on Friday, means United will go third in the table for the first time since the end of the 2022-23 campaign if they beat Palace at Old Trafford. That is enough of a motivation for Carrick, who says there is no personal element to his preparations at all. "It is not something that would cross my mind until you mentioned it," he said.


"It doesn't make any difference whatsoever. "I have total respect for Crystal Palace and Oliver, in terms of the team that they are and the role they are doing. But it's the next game for us." Palace were ahead of United in the table when the two sides met on 30 November. One influential figure in United's 2-1 success that day, Matthijs de Ligt, has not played since because of a back injury. Fellow centre-half Lisandro Martinez missed Monday's win at Everton with a calf problem which Carrick regards as "a small issue" that will not keep the Argentine out "for very long".


With fifth-placed Chelsea due to play Arsenal and Aston Villa in their next two games, this is looking like a chance for United to cement their position in the Champions League spots. It is an aim few thought likely when Ruben Amorim was sacked in January. "We are in a decent spot," Carrick said. "We feel like we are moving forwards, but it's just about what's in front of us, and trying to get to where we want to be, which is a little bit higher in the league.


"That's literally all I'm worried about in the moment."
