Wonderful to see Pope Leo XIV discharged from hospital after surgery earlier this week. We @UKinHolySee wish him all the best for a swift recovery ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏽
Pope Leo XIV was discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and returned to the papal apartments in Vatican City State on Saturday afternoon. The announcement that Pope Leo would be released from hospital was made on Saturday morning. A separate statement from the Holy See Press Office announced that Pope Leo will lead the noonday Angelus prayer on Sunday from the window of the Apostolic Palace.

Wishing His Holiness Pope Leo XIV all best wishes for his surgery this week and a swift recovery 🇬🇧 ❤️‍🩹 🇻🇦 @UKinHolySee
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Our Chief Mouser Larry is back at Downing Street following a minor operation, and is recovering well. He is feline much better but taking things one paw at a time. We are grateful to the vets for their outstanding care.

Chemical weapons have been used on our streets in Britain, in Ukraine and against Russia’s own citizens. From Salisbury to Siberia and the continued systematic use of chemical weapons in Ukraine – we will not allow this reckless behaviour by Russia.

Civilians in Sudan have already endured the worst of atrocities. The RSF must halt their attack on El Obeid. The UK has called today's debate at the @UN_HRC because hundreds of thousands more lives are at stake. The international community must not turn away.

Search and rescue teams continue to work around the clock as efforts to locate survivors remain ongoing. Supporting these operations are highly trained live scent detection dogs, whose exceptional ability to detect human scent helps rescuers search challenging and time-critical environments, including collapsed structures and disaster zones.
