LIVE: Vatican City Begins Process To Find New Pope | Pope Francis Death | St Peters Basilica | Pope
Cardinals will soon gather under Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling to elect Francis’s successor
In light of the passing of Pope Francis on April 21, the next pope will be chosen by the College of Cardinals, the Catholic church’s most senior figures appointed by the pontiff, who will make their way to Rome in the next few days for the conclave. The name comes from the Latin cum clave, meaning “with key”, indicating the closed process of electing a pope.
There are more than 250 cardinals from more than 90 countries, but only about 135 are cardinal electors (those over the age of 80 are excluded). About 110 of the cardinal electors have been chosen by Francis in the past 10 years and largely reflect his vision of a more inclusive church.

Esha Deol’s shoutout to brother Sunny Deol for Jaat, “Love, love and only love bhaiya. More power”
Actress Esha Deol recently watched her brother Sunny Deol’s film Jaat in theatres. She shared a screengrab on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Love, love and only love bhaiya. More power.” Sunny Deol later re-shared her post on his own Instagram Stories.
Esha Deol’s shoutout to brother Sunny Deol for Jaat, “Love, love and only love bhaiya. More power”
Recently, Hema Malini and Esha Deol were asked to share their excitement about the theatrical release of Jaat. In a conversation with Instant Bollywood, Hema Malini said, “I heard it has opened with a bumper number. It is nice to know that people are liking his film. Dharamji khush hain (Dharam ji is very happy.) The film is so good, I believe.”
Sunny Deol’s half-sister Esha Deol expressed her happiness over the positive response to Jaat. She said, “I am so happy. It is all his hard work and people’s love for him. I am so happy that the film has opened big and that is how it has to be with him. Always.”
Jaat recently faced controversy over a scene deemed ‘religiously insensitive’ by members of the Christian community. The makers responded by removing the scene and issuing an apology. “To whomsoever it may concern, there has been a backlash for a specific scene in the film. The scene has been removed from the film with immediate effect. Our intention was not to hurt any religious sentiments. We deeply regret it and have taken quick action to delete the scene from the film. We sincerely apologise to everyone whose beliefs have been hurt.”
This came after a police complaint was filed at Jalandhar’s Sadar Police Station under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The complaint, lodged by Pholriwal resident Vikalp Gold, accused the film of allegedly hurting Christian sentiments with a scene in a Church featuring the film’s villain Randeep Hooda.

White House Looking To Replace Pentagon Chief After Chat Leak Row: Report
Pete Hegseth shared highly confidential details, including F/A-18 Hornet flight schedules.
Washington:The White House has started a process to look for a new Pentagon chief, a US broadcaster said, following media reports that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive military information in a group chat that included his wife and brother.
Citing an unnamed US official, NPR reported that the process started after The New York Times (NYT) said Sunday that Hegseth shared information about US strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen on March 15 in a Signal messaging chat.
According to the report by The New York Times, Hegseth shared highly confidential details, including F/A-18 Hornet flight schedules, with a private group named “Defense | Team Huddle,” which he created in January using his personal phone. The group included his wife, Jennifer Hegseth (a former Fox News producer), his brother, his personal lawyer, and roughly a dozen others from his inner circle.
The Times’ report follows an earlier disclosure by The Atlantic, which revealed the existence of another Signal chat, initially intended for senior national security officials.
Hegseth had already faced controversy over his reported sharing of details on strikes in Yemen in a separate Signal chat that accidentally included a journalist, Yonhap news agency reported.
Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump called the NYT report “fake news.”
“Pete’s doing a great job. Everybody’s happy,” Trump told reporters during the White House Easter Egg Roll event.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also dismissed the NPR report as “fake news.”
“This NPR story is total FAKE NEWS based on one anonymous source who clearly has no idea what they are talking about,” Leavitt wrote on X. “As the President said this morning, he stands strongly behind SecDef.”

Indian To Be Charged For Molesting Cabin Crew On Singapore-Bound Plane
The man will be charged with using criminal force with intent to outrage modesty.
Singapore:A 20-year-old Indian national will be charged in Singapore on Tuesday for allegedly outraging the modesty of a cabin crew member aboard an aircraft bound for the city-state.
The police were alerted to the incident at 12.05 pm on February 28, after a 28-year-old female cabin crew member was allegedly molested during the flight.
According to a police statement on Monday, preliminary investigations revealed that the crew member was escorting a female passenger to the lavatory when she noticed a piece of tissue paper on the floor.
As she bent down to pick it up, the 20-year-old man allegedly appeared behind her, grabbed her, and pushed her into the lavatory with him, according to The Straits Times newspaper.
The female passenger, who witnessed the incident, intervened and helped the crew member out of the lavatory immediately.
The matter was reported to the cabin supervisor, and the man was arrested by officers from the Airport Police Division after the plane landed at Changi Airport.
The police did not disclose the name of the airline.
The man will be charged with using criminal force with intent to outrage modesty.
The offence carries a jail term of up to three years, a fine, caning, or any combination of these penalties.
The commander of the Airport Police Division, Assistant Commissioner M Malathi, said: “We take such incidents seriously as cabin crew are trained professionals dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all passengers.
“The police remain committed to protecting airline staff and passengers on board from any form of sexual harassment or assault,” the report quoted Malathi as saying.

Proposed Safeguard Duty on Steel Imports Raises Alarm Bells for Indian Construction Equipment Sector: ICEMA
The Indian construction equipment (CE) industry has expressed deep concern over the proposed imposition of a 12% safeguard duty on steel imports, cautioning that such a move could severely impact the sector’s operations and hamper infrastructure development across the country. The industry’s concerns were voiced the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (ICEMA), in a detailed statement issued today.
The Indian CE industry, currently valued at around USD 9.5 billion, is the third-largest globally—behind only the United States and China. The sector plays a critical role in supporting India’s infrastructure development through the supply of advanced and high-performance machinery used in road construction, railways, urban development, and more, ICEMA said.
Steel is a vital input for the industry, particularly high-strength and high-tensile grades as well as specialized pipes and tubes. Many of these materials are not manufactured domestically and are therefore imported to meet production requirements. ICEMA pointed out that restricting these imports could severely impact construction equipment manufacturing, especially where local production does not meet the necessary technical specifications or volume needs.
The industry notes, as said by ICEMA, that even the ongoing inquiry into the safeguard duty by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has already caused disruptions in the market. Steel prices have reportedly surged by nearly INR 10,000 per tonne since the beginning of the discussion, adding to the input cost burden for CE manufacturers.
If implemented, the safeguard duty could further raise prices, potentially forcing manufacturers to pass on the additional costs to consumers. This comes on top of the cost pressures resulting from the introduction of the CEV Stage V emission norms, which took effect on January 1, 2025. ICEMA has stated that a cumulative increase in costs could impact manufacturing timelines, equipment deliveries, and ultimately, infrastructure project execution.
The industry also warned of possible long-term consequences for India’s export competitiveness. As global markets adopt “China plus One” strategies to diversify supply chains, Indian manufacturers have a strategic opportunity to expand internationally. However, escalating input costs may erode that competitive edge.
ICEMA urged the government to undertake a thorough and transparent assessment of the safeguard duty’s necessity and implications. The industry emphasizes the importance of a balanced policy approach that supports domestic steel production while ensuring the continued growth and global competitiveness of downstream sectors like construction equipment manufacturing.
The association has called for broader consultations with key stakeholders to ensure that any policy intervention supports sustainable industrial growth and does not hinder India’s infrastructure momentum.

Tata Power Renewable Energy and Tata Motors Partner for 131 MW Wind-Solar Hybrid Project
Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Motors Limited to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project. This initiative is set to provide clean electricity exclusively to six Tata Motors manufacturing facilities across Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Expected to generate nearly 300 million units of green energy per year, the project is also projected to offset over 2 lakh tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The move supports Tata Motors’ progress toward achieving its RE-100 target and contributes to the company’s broader environmental goal of net-zero emissions.
With this development, TPREL’s total group captive capacity will exceed 1.5 GW. The company uses a hybrid model that combines wind, solar, floating solar, and battery storage technologies, offering consistent renewable energy supply with a focus on cost efficiency.
TPREL continues to expand its presence in the commercial and industrial sectors, supporting energy transitions across industries such as steel, automotive, hospitality, and retail. It has previously partnered with Tata Group entities including Tata Steel, Tata Communications, and Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) for similar renewable energy projects.
Currently, TPREL operates approximately 478 MW of renewable energy under its group captive portfolio. An additional 1.1 GW of capacity is under various stages of development and expected to be commissioned over the next two years.
Tata Power is an integrated power utility and part of the Tata Group. Its energy portfolio of 15.7 GW spans renewable and conventional generation, transmission, distribution, and solar manufacturing. With 6.8 GW in renewable generation, the company has a 44% clean energy share. It also offers services such as rooftop solar, EV charging, microgrids, and energy storage, serving around 12.5 million customers across India.

Final days of Pope who joined Vatican crowds at Easter despite doctors’ advice
Pope Francis waves to crowds on Easter Sunday during a public appearance which surprised many At midday on Monday, church bells across Italy began to toll. Pope Francis was dead.
Not even 24 hours had passed since he had made a surprise appearance on the balcony overlooking St Peter’s Square, blessing the 35,000 people gathered to celebrate Easter at the Vatican.
The Pope was breathing on his own, without oxygen tubes, despite being told by his doctors to spend two months convalescing after 38 days in hospital with double pneumonia.
Over the past two weeks Francis had done what he had always done, received visitors and met people from every walk of life.
When he appeared on Easter Sunday, the crowd below erupted in cheers as he appeared; then it fell silent.
“Dear brothers and sisters, I wish you a happy Easter,” he said, his voice heavy with effort.
They were to be his final words in public.

“I think people could feel something – as if they could tell it was the last time they’d see him,” said Mauro, a Rome resident who was in St Peter’s Square for Easter Mass and had now returned to pay his respects.
“Usually everyone shouts ‘Long live the Pope!’… this time it was much quieter than usual, there was maybe more respect for his suffering.”
“He blessed us but his voice was a husk,” a man called Alberto told the BBC. “I think he was giving us his last goodbye.”
A steady stream of pilgrims returned to St Peter’s Doctors who treated Francis at Rome’s Gemelli hospital had prescribed a regimen of complete rest – but it was never likely that a typically active Pope who spent much of his papacy meeting people would keep to that.
Francis had already made it clear he wanted to be back in the Vatican in time for Easter, as soon as the specialists treating him explained that his health issues would not be resolved quickly.
For Christians, Easter is even more important than Christmas as it symbolises a core tenet of their faith – the resurrection of Christ, three days after his nailing to the cross.
Before he was discharged on 23 March, Francis waved to crowds from the hospital too, and then headed back to his quarters in the Casa Santa Marta guest house he had made his home.
His medical team said all he needed was oxygen, and convalescing there was better than hospital with all its infections.
Easter was just three weeks away and, as it approached, the Pope’s schedule became increasingly busy.
He met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Casa San Marta and then appeared on the Vatican balcony for Palm Sunday four days later on 13 April, mingling with a crowd of 20,000 people in St Peter’s Square, against doctors’ advice.
Pope Francis also made an unexpected appearance in St Peter’s Square for Palm Sunday But for the Pope, Easter was most important time of all.
Last Thursday, as he had done many times previously and as he used to do in his native Argentina before becoming Pope, he made a visit to the Regina Coeli jail in Rome where he spent half an hour meeting prisoners and he was greeted by applause from staff and guards as he arrived in a wheelchair.
In previous years he had washed inmates’ feet, mirroring what Jesus is said to have done with his disciples the night before his death.
“This year I’m unable to do that, but I can and want to still be near you,” he said in a feeble voice to the dozens of prisoners who had come to see him, and who cheered him on as he toured the jail.
“We are so lucky. Those on the outside don’t get to see him and we do,” one man told Italian media.
As he was leaving the prison, Francis was asked by a journalist how he would experience Easter this year.
“Whichever way I can,” he replied.
And, on Sunday, he kept his promise.
Prison staff and guards welcomed Pope Francis as he marked Holy Thursday at Regina Coeli jail He held a short meeting with US Vice-President JD Vance before appearing before the crowds in St Peter’s Square as the crowd below erupted in cheers.
He made his final blessing – the Urbi et Orbi address in Latin, meaning “to the city and to the world”. Then, Archbishop Diego Ravelli read out a speech written by the Pope as Francis sat silently beside him.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he descended down to St Peter’s Square, where he was driven around in an open-top popemobile – the distinctive little white Mercedes-Benz used by popes to meet crowds.
A camera followed him around as he raised his arm to bless the faithful lining the sunny square, and a few babies were brought up closer to him. It was the last time the world saw him alive.
Watching Francis’s blessing on Sunday, Alberto from Rome felt he would not last much longer, although the Pope’s death still came as a shock.
“I didn’t feel happy seeing him, I could tell he was in pain,” he said. “But it was an honour to see him one last time.”
Francis died early on Monday in his beloved Casa Santa Marta – a residenceof 100-odd simple rooms, run by nuns and open to pilgrims and visitors.
A little over two hours later, the cardinal chamberlain, or camerlengo, stood in the Casa Santa Marta and made the news public.
The Vatican said on Monday evening he had died of a stroke and irreversible heart failure.
Worshippers paid their respects to Francis during a rosary in St Peter’s Square The Pope’s rooms were a far cry from the opulence of the Vatican quarters typically destined to pontiffs, which Francis had turned down at the start of his papacy saying he felt the need to “live among people”.
“If I lived by myself, maybe even a bit in isolation, it would be of no use to me,” he said back then.
In the coming days, cardinals from across the world will be staying at Casa Santa Marta as they gather in Rome for the conclave that will choose Francis’ successor.
Outside, in the bright sunshine in St Peter’s Square, people mingled with priests and friars under the imposing basilica.
A group of nuns clad in grey and white glared at a man who, headphones in, was dancing around the square. “No respect,” they tutted.
The same large screens that broadcast the Pope’s blessing for Easter now displayed a photo of Francis smiling and a notice that a special rosary was being held for him 12 hours after his death.
It would allow Catholics near and far to pray for their Pope – and thank him for celebrating one last Easter with them.
