Colombia's president suggests Vatican could host new peace talks with rebel group
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said on Monday that he is contemplating a new round of peace talks with the nation's largest remaining rebel group, and suggested that the talks could take place in the Vatican . Petro's statement came after he attended an audience with Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican, which has not commented on the suggestion that it could host peace talks between Colombia's government and the National Liberation Army, or ELN, a group with around 5,000 fighters that was founded in the late 1960s.

Yorkville restaurant dinged by Toronto health inspectors for multiple infractions
Two restaurants, including an Italian eatery in the heart of Yorkville, were served multiple infractions by Toronto health inspectors last week. Vaticano Ristorante, located at 25 Bellair St., received a conditional pass notice after getting hit with nine infractions — one crucial and eight significant violations — on Thursday, according to Toronto Public Health. The restaurant, which offers traditional Italian cuisine and has been described on TripAdvisor as a 'hidden gem,' remains open to the public. Vaticano's lone crucial violation was failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration. Most of its eight significant infractions were equipment-related such as the food equipment was not of sound and tight construction, the equipment used was not free from cracks in contact with food, failing to provide a thermometer in refrigeration equipment, and the mechanical equipment was not maintained to provide sufficient chemical solution rinse. Vaticano's utensils were 'not of readily cleanable form,' the hand-washing stations were not maintained with soap and paper towels, while the station was used for something 'other than for (the) hand-washing of employees.' The restaurant also failed to protect against the harbouring of pests. Meanwhile, Salma Café & Restaurant at 4 John St. in York, was slammed with a whopping 15 infractions on Wednesday — three crucial, seven significant, four minor and one 'other.' Like Vaticano, Salma, which serves African comfort food, also received a conditional pass notice and remains open to the public, according to Toronto Public Health. Its three crucial infractions were maintaining and storing potentially hazardous foods at internal temperature between 4C and 60C, and failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration. Its seven significant violations were failing to maintain hand-washing stations with hot and cold water, as well as soap and paper towels, and not equipping the sanitary facility with paper towels or a dryer. Salma also failed to provide a thermometer in refrigeration equipment, did not sanitize multi-service articles after use, failed to protect against the harbouring of pests, and did not maintain records of pest control measures taken. The establishment's four minor infractions were not protecting against the entry of pests, failing to ensure equipment surface were sanitized as necessary, not maintaining the food-handling room in sanitary condition, and keeping the food-handling room free from equipment not regularly used. As for its 'other' violation, Salma failed to ensure a food-handler or supervisor was present during all hours of operation.

‘No more war,' Pope Leo pleads to world in first Sunday address at the Vatican
Pope Leo XIV has appealed to world leaders to pursue peace, and not war, in his first Sunday address to crowds in St. Peter's Square. The new pope, formally cardinal Robert Prevost, called for an "authentic and lasting peace" in Ukraine, a ceasefire in Gaza, and the release of all Israeli hostages. The Chicago-born pontiff also welcomed fragile ceasefire agreement signed by India and Pakistan on Saturday. "No more war," the pope said, delivering his speech in Italian. Wearing a simple white cassock of the papacy and his silver pectoral cross, he repeated a frequent call of the late Pope Francis and noted the recent 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. Pope Leo said today's world was living through "the dramatic scenario of a Third World War being fought piecemeal", again repeating a phrase coined by his predecessor. Nearly 100,000 people gathered in St. Peter's Square and on the Via della Conciliazione leading to the Vatican to hear the new pontiff's first Sunday address. They broke into applause at the call for peace on what was a joyous occasion despite his solemn message. It was the first time that Leo had returned to the loggia since he first appeared to the world on Thursday evening following his election as pope, the first from the United States. The new pope said he carried in his heart the "suffering of the beloved people of Ukraine', and he appealed for negotiations to reach an "authentic, just and lasting peace". Leo also said he was "profoundly saddened" by the war in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid and the release of the remaining hostages held by the Hamas militant group in the besieged strip. He added, however: "There are so many other conflicts in the world." Leo also noted that Sunday was Mother's Day in many countries and wished all mothers, 'including those in heaven', a Happy Mother's Day. The crowd, filled with marching bands in town for a special Jubilee weekend, erupted in cheers and music as the bells of St. Peter's Basilica tolled. On Saturday evening, the pope made his first trip outside the Vatican to visit a Catholic shrine and pay respects at the tomb of his predecessor Francis. At the end of the visit there, the pope told those in the shrine that he wanted to come to pray for guidance in the first days of his papacy, according to a Vatican statement. The 69-year-old Chicago-born missionary was elected 267th pope on Thursday following the death of Francis on 21 April.
