World-renowned Irish novelist Sally Rooney and her publisher, Faber, have decided to stop supplying her books to U.K. retailers because of her pledge to give some of her royalties to a pro-Palestinian activist group designated as a terrorist organization in Britain. The U.K. government banned Palestine Action under its anti-terrorism laws in July 2025 after the group claimed responsibility for damaging property at several military facilities and companies linked to Israel. Under British anti-terrorism laws, providing financial support to a banned organization can be a criminal offense. CBS News' @InayaFolarin has more.

Pope Leo XIV arrived at Policlinico A. Gemelli hospital where he will undergo surgery on Tuesday to remove a nodule from his lung, the Vatican said. It will be Leo’s first medical issue requiring hospitalization since he became the pontiff last year. The pope, 71, announced during his weekly blessing and prayer in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday that doctors had advised the surgical intervention after detecting a “very early-stage and well-localized” nodule during recent medical tests. @SayChrisLive reports.
