Meet the Roman tailors behind the pope's first look
As the papal conclave ends with the emergence of white smoke from the Sistine Chapel to signify the selection of a new pope, tailors are creating the papal vestments — the pope's official attire. For centuries, papal garments have been crafted along Rome's cobblestone streets near the Vatican, where skilled artisans maintain traditions dating back generations. Raniero Mancinelli, whose shop opened in the 1960s just steps from the Vatican, has prepared three cassocks in different sizes for the new pontiff. "Tres size... Small medium, large," the 86-year-old told CBS News through a translator. "You don't know if the next Pope is going to be small, medium or large." Having worked with three popes: John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, Mancinelli hopes to add a fourth to his prestigious client list. When asked which pope was his favorite, Mancinelli laughed and responded in Italian, "Secreto." The Gammarelli family represents the other prominent papal tailoring establishment. Their business, now in its sixth generation and led by Alessia Gammarelli, the family's first female proprietor, has served eight popes over their 200-year history. The pope's basic garment is a hand-stitched, white wool cassock, sometimes adorned with a burgundy, elbow-length cape — a feature Pope Francis chose not to wear. The outfit is completed with a white skullcap called a zucchetto. When questioned about future papal style preferences, Gammarelli said, "I don't know. Good question." While Gammarelli has seen images of papal vestments hanging inside the Vatican's Room of Tears, she said she can't confirm they're her family's work until the new pope makes his first public appearance.

Ukraine says Russia attacking despite Putin's truce order
Ukraine said Russia was attacking across the front line on Thursday, calling Russian President Vladimir Putin's order for a three-day truce, which he said would take effect Thursday morning, a "farce." The Russian army said it was responding to Ukrainian attacks but observing the truce, which Putin unilaterally ordered to coincide with a massive parade in Moscow to mark Victory Day, which Russia observes ever May 9 to commemorate the Soviet Union's 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany's invading forces. Putin's guest of honor this year, China's President Xi Jinping, was already in Moscow Thursday ahead of the Victory Day events. He's the most powerful of several world leaders attending to show that, despite international sanctions and widespread condemnation of Putin's so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine, the Russian leader does have friends. "Predictably, Putin's 'Parade ceasefire' proves to be a farce," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said Thursday. "Russian forces continue to attack across the entire front line. From midnight to midday, Russia carried out 734 ceasefire violations and 63 assault operations." Ukraine would respond and share all information with its allies, Sybiga said. Though Kyiv never agreed to the three-day truce, Russia accused Ukraine of violating it. "The Russian Armed Forces are strictly observing the ceasefire. This includes no strikes by aircraft, missile forces, artillery or unmanned aerial vehicles," Russia's defense ministry said during a briefing. "Despite the announcement of the ceasefire, Ukrainian army units have not ceased hostilities against Russian troops." Ukraine's air force earlier reported Russian guided bomb strikes on the northern region of Sumy. "No missile attacks or attack drones were recorded in Ukrainian airspace. However, during the night, the enemy intensified tactical aviation strikes using guided aerial bombs in the Sumy region," the air force said, after reporting several launches in the morning. Earlier in the day, Russia struck a residential area near the town of Bilopillya, close to the border between Sumy and Russia's Kursk region, Ukraine's emergency services said.

How U.S. Catholics see the role of the Church and the pope in their lives — CBS News poll
Most U.S. Catholics say they rely on the pope and the Church's teachings for difficult moral questions, this is particularly the case for those who call themselves strong Catholics. For most U.S. Catholics, their Catholic faith is important in their daily lives, including many who call it extremely or very important. (Behind this is a big difference however. Their Catholic faith is especially important to those who routinely go to Mass, but less so for those who rarely or never go.) The pope is, for a majority of U.S. Catholics, equally important in their connection to the Church as their local priest and parish. But the next pope will also lead a U.S. laity with some differences within it. A sizable number of the U.S.' current Catholics feel they have become less connected to the Church over their lives. They aren't frequent mass attenders and don't currently consider themselves very strong Catholics. This group tends to be a little older than those who say their connection hasn't changed, and are relatively less likely to prioritize tradition over change. Just under half of Catholics today don't feel the Church is in touch with their personal needs. (This, even as Catholics overall said the Church is more in touch now after Francis' papacy compared to before it.) One reason why those who feel the Catholic Church is out of touch with their own needs, say so: reports of past sexual abuse of children by priests. It's a matter most Catholics think has been handled poorly by the Vatican. Relatively fewer, although sizable numbers, point to the church's political views and stands on issues like abortion and divorce, or church doctrine itself, as reasons they feel the church is out of touch with their needs. Those who think it is out of touch still mostly believe the Church respects women as much as men, just not to the extent that those who call it "in touch" do. Big majorities feel the Catholic Church currently provides them with spiritual guidance, forgiveness from sin, along with connection to tradition and belonging and community. And they'd like the next Pope to be someone compassionate, also most want one who'd be outspoken. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,298 adult Catholics living in the U.S. interviewed between April 30-May 5, 2025. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education and Mass attendance according to the 2023-24 Pew Religious Landscape Study. The margin of error is ±3.8 points.

Coal miners lose black lung screenings after Trump slashes NIOSH
Morgantown, West Virginia — In West Virginia's coal country, Marion Tennant says he was destined to work in the mines. "That was the only thing in this area when I graduated high school," Tennant said. That was in 1974, when Tennant was protected by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH. For decades it offered free screenings for black lung, a chronic disease caused by prolonged exposure to coal dust. But the screenings have stopped because of President Trump's mandated budget cuts. Tennant says he's worried for the younger workers. "What's going to happen, I'm afraid, is your young ones, before they realize what they've done to their body, they're gonna have black lung, and the numbers is going to rise," Tennant said. Catherine Blackwood was a PhD scientist at the NIOSH facility in Morgantown, West Virginia, where she studied the dangers of mold exposure. "I'm angry that we are just being cast aside," Blackwood said. Her job was eliminated April 1, along with over 200 others at the facility — from the people who oversee mine safety to those who study cancer-causing chemicals in firefighters. "I'm really worried and fearful about what the impacts are going to be on the rest of us," Blackwood said. And it's not just about Morgantown. "Every single person faces different hazards at their work every day. And without NIOSH, I think that we are all in danger," Blackwood said. Although some roles were temporarily reinstated in recent days, the Trump administration still plans to terminate all staff in the coming months, leaving the future of the health screenings and other programs in doubt. When asked about the cuts to crucial programs, a Health and Human Services spokesperson said in part: "The department remains focused on cutting wasteful bureaucracy and eliminating duplicative administrative roles." But Blackwood says, "The work being done at NIOSH was not wasteful. It was not duplicative. It was not redundant. The research that was being done at NIOSH was being done nowhere else in the world." West Virginia isn't only coal country — it's Trump country. He won the state in 2024 with 70% of the vote. Tennant, now retired, says he didn't vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris or Mr. Trump. "He's looking at the coal-fired power plants, but he's also doing away with NIOSH that helps the safety of the coal miners," Tennant said. The budget for NIOSH was about $363 million in 2023, the same year that job injuries and illnesses cost Americans around $176 billion, according to the National Safety Council. Without NIOSH, officials say that number could be higher. "I don't think it's hyperbole to say that eviscerating NIOSH, as they have, will cause people to die," Blackwood said.

Disney announces plans for theme park in Abu Dhabi
Disney has announced it plans to build a new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi, the company's first location in the Middle East and its seventh park around the world. The Walt Disney Company reached an agreement with the Abu Dhabi-based company Miral, which will build the theme park in the United Arab Emirates capital, the announcement said. The park is set to be built on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, which was developed by Miral and is already the location of multiple theme parks, including Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and SeaWorld. The attraction will "offer signature Disney entertainment, themed accommodations, unique dining and retail experiences, and storytelling in a way that celebrates both the heritage of Disney and the futuristic and cultural essence of Abu Dhabi," the company said. Disney hopes to attract visitors from the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia that aren't close to its other parks in Florida, California, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The company did not give a timeline for completion or an expected cost to build the Abu Dhabi park. The United Arab Emirates has had a history of alleged labor abuses with a largely migrant workforce, among other human rights concerns. "Migrant workers continue to face widespread abuses like wage theft, illegal recruitment fees, and passport confiscation, which leave workers in situations that may amount to forced labor," according to the Human Rights Watch's World Report 2025. Additionally, outdoor migrant workers, who are "among the most vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and death," face "inadequate heat protections," the organization said.
