The presidents of the US, Ukraine, and France are among world leaders planning to attend the pope’s funeral, with the somber event likely to be seen as a diplomatic summit of sorts.
Pope Francis’ death on Monday was met with an outpouring of grief globally, and his funeral on Saturday promises to be a major gathering — which is increasingly in keeping with such events: Politico in 2022 described world leaders scrambling for pride of place at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, while commemorations for Nelson Mandela in 2013 also drew major figures.

A-traktorer har ökat kraftigt i antal under de senaste åren, främst sedan 2020 när de tekniska kraven för ombyggnation av en bil till A-traktor förenklades. Vid årsskiftet fanns drygt 60 000 A-traktorer registrerade (i trafik och avställda), vilket är mer än en fördubbling på fem år. I takt med en ökad popularitet har också personskadeolyckorna med dessa fordon ökat, och årligen sker närmare 350 olyckor med A-traktor där förare, passagerare eller medtrafikanter skadas.
Cupertino has paid Apple $12.1 million, settling a sales tax dispute that reshapes how tech giants and cities do business in California.
Since 1998, Apple has treated all of its online sales within California as if they originated in Cupertino. That arrangement allowed the city to collect 1% of Apple’s 7.25% sales tax, according to Silicon Valley.
In its latest move to resolve the long-running dispute, City Council approved the payment during a Tuesday meeting with no discussion. The refund covers sales tax revenue Apple generated between January 2023 and June 2024.
