Pope Francis has called for international mediation to ease rising tensions between the US and North Korea over Pyongyang's nuclear activity. The pontiff suggested that Norway, for example, was "always ready to help". He warned the crisis risked sparking a devastating war in which "a good part of humanity" would be destroyed. His comments come hours after North Korea test-fired another ballistic missile, which the US and South Korea say exploded shortly after take-off. The missile was fired from a site in South Pyeongan province, north of Pyongyang, South Korea said. US President Donald Trump accused Pyongyang of showing "disrespect" towards China and its president. Mr Trump recently hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping and praised him for "trying very hard" on North Korea. The test came just hours after the UN Security Council had discussed North Korea's missile programme. Trump fears 'major major' conflict wit...

US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on the media during a rally marking 100 days in office. He told supporters in Pennsylvania that he was keeping "one promise after another", dismissing criticism as "fake news" by "out of touch" journalists. Mr Trump decided to skip the White House Correspondents' Dinner - the first US leader to miss the annual event since Ronald Reagan in 1981. Earlier,  big rallies were held against Mr Trump's climate change policies. The verdict on Trump so far The two faces of Trump's America Trumponomics: 100 days quiz At the rally in Harrisburg, the president said the media should be given "a big, fat, failing grade" over their coverage of his achievements during his first 100 days and told the cheering crowd he was "thrilled to be more than 100 miles from Washington". He quipped that at the same time "a large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media ar...

Jose Mourinho's depleted Manchester United side face Swansea at Old Trafford on Sunday with the manager praising the spirit shown by his exhausted squad. Louis van Gaal, Mourinho's predecessor as United manager, is not remembered with any fondness by the majority of the club's supporters. But Mourinho believes the Dutchman succeeded in pulling together a squad of strong characters, although their resilience is now being tested as United maintain their bid for a top-four finish in the Premier League and success in the Europa League. "The group was a nice group, honestly," said Mourinho, who served as a novice coach under then Barcelona manager Van Gaal at the Spanish giants in the late 1990s. "Good people, good boys, committed people. "I think Mr Van Gaal left a good group of boys with very good relations between them and I got that in my hands." The Portuguese added: "I think they missed happiness, they missed trust, they missed...

Carlos Barria | Reuters President Donald Trump (R) sits next to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during a bilateral meeting with China's President Xi Jinping (Not Pictured) at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. At 100 days, President  Donald Trump 's foreign policy is a work in progress. It is full of dynamic tension between his American nationalist instincts and a newly found sense of responsibility for global security and economic viability. The Trump Doctrine, when it emerges, will be a synthesis of the two. Perceptions of Trump's foreign policy are massively politicized. Many in Washington feared a sellout to Russia when it came to Ukraine, Syria — the works. Nothing like that happened. Sanctions against Russia over Ukraine are in place and Syria was hit with 59 Tomahawk missiles after the Assad regime allegedly gassed civilians — while Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
