The protesters gather every night, until the early hours of the morning: “No to the Trump family resort.” For some time now, Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump have set their sights —and money— on a stretch of Albanian coastline, a lagoon with flamingos, seals, and nesting areas, to transform it into a huge luxury complex.

The Vatican media will have a new head. Or rather, a new female head. Her name is Montserrat Alvarado, Mexican by birth and American by adoption, and she will be the new prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, starting November 1. For the first time, a woman will lead the media galaxy of the Holy See. Additionally, she will be the first layperson chosen to hold the position of prefect alone.
