part. the crowds have been gathering in saint peter's sqre all morning. cnn vatican correspondent christopr lam is live iromechristr, tell us morabout e ifican of this moment. >> wl, victor, there's a celebratory atmosphere here. there'an estimated 150,000 leo, who has appeared on the balconof saint peter's behind me. we've had bands playing. we've had songs, and you can hear pope leo speaking. he's just said, dear brhers and sters, happy sunday. and there's been a huge applause from the crowd. he's speaking now to regina coeli. address. he's going to be reflecting on good shepherd sunday. the good shepherd, of course, is something that the pope will seek to emulate in his ministry.

>> the mass always proclaims the gospel of john, chapter ten, where jesus reveals himself as the true shepherd that knows and loves his flock and gives eternal life. on this. sunday, we are celebrating the world day of prayer. and moreover, today. we have the jubilee of the bands and the popular shows. i greet with affection all those pilgrims, and i thank them

because with their performances and their music, they celebrate the festival of christ, the shepherd. and the church with its holy spirit. jesus says that he knows his sheep. that they listen to his voice and follow him. pope gregory the great. says also that he responds to those who love him. today i have the joy of praying with you, brothers and sisters and all the peoples of the world. and i pray particularly for those who lead a religious life and who are in the priesthood. it is very

important that young people. find in our community a welcome. i'll listen to you and are encouraged in their vocational field. and that they can dedicate themselves generously to god and to their brethren. i'd just like to recall to you that pope francis. invited us to. accompany young people. and we beseech thee, heavenly father. to. ensure that they become shepherds according to their heart, and that he help us to walk the path of justice and

truth. so young people, do not be afraid. accept the invitation of the church and of christ the redeemer. >> the virgin. >> the virgin mary. may she always accompany us on this journey with christ. queen of heaven. rejoice. alleluia! for he whom you did merit to bear. alleluia. has risen! as he said. alleluia! pray for us to god.

alleluia. >> alleluia. >> rejoice and be glad, o virgin mary. alleluia. for the lord has truly risen. alleluia! let us pray, o god, who tough t resurrection of thy son, our lo jesus christ. who gave joy thee, at through the we beseech his mother, we may obtain the y, of eversting life through the same chrt our rd. am. amen. >> gloryo the son and the holy

>> fratelli sorelle. seconda guerra mondiale. >> pope leo, delivering the regina coeli there. and let's bring back christopher lamb, who is there as well. christopher. the remarks that the pope made just before delivering the prayer focused especially on young people and inviting them to join the church to accept the invitation, as he said. >> he's emphasizing in that in those words about the importance

of vocation. of course it is good shepherd sunday, which is focused on vocationso the priesthood andeligiousife, encouraging young people to. consider a vocation to serve the church. he is also now speaking about wars are taking place in the world, condemning war, calling for peace. and that's something that the cardinals specifically asked for in the pope in their pre-conclave discussions. so pope leo taking up that call from the cardinals to speak strongly as a moral voice on the world stage, and at is being lc here in thcrowd. pope o taking his own, adopting his own style as pope for this prayer. he sung for part of it, which is not something that francis did, but clearly connecting with the crowd who are enjoying what he has to say, are applauding him. there's almost 150,000 here. there's be a celebratory

atmosphere as they've gathered to listen to pope leo xiv first sunday address and remarks to them here in saint peter's. victor. >> there at saint peter's square. thank you so much. joining me now is assistant professor and interim director of catholic studies at emory university, susan reynolds. susan, good morning to you. as we keep these live pictures up onhe screen, your reactiono what we heard from pope leo and the way which he delivered . christopher highlighted th, he sang sung part of the >> we he did. we got to hear his singing voice. i imagine that he felt a little bit of pressure, considering that currently there's a pilgrimage of musicians and bands underway, as you mentioned, at the top the hour. and so that was a bold decision, i felt. and it was lovely to hear his singing voice. i was really touched by the the call that he issued to

echo of that famous phrase, kind of a mto of john paul the second, be not afraid, which really rings very iconically in the minds of catholics who were ive during the papacy of john paul the secon myself s a young person during that papacy, and that call that he issued there younpeople be not afraid to embrace your vocation, to embrace the call that god wants for you in this lifethe very iconic. >> so i noced th this is delivered om tt central basilica, where he was first revealed as thas pope leo xi this typically the rina coeli, the anlus prer. those are delived from windoat t the apostolic lace. what's the significce here?s this just to accommodate t crowds, ois

there something more? >> i imagine that it's to accommodate the crowds to to enable people to welcome him, to embrace him. if you recall that final day of pope francis's life, in which it was easter sunday. he found the strength to be in the square, to be in saint peter's, recognizing that people want to embrace this leader as a way of finding themselves, a way of embracing god in some way, he sees himself. as kind of that symbol that people can look toward for that voice of spiritual authority and moral authority. i think it's kind of an act of generosity, in a way, for him to appear on the loggia, on the balcony, so that more. >> people can welcome him. >> part of his conversations with the cardinals yesterday, he highlighted something that i found pretty interesting. artificial intelligence. he said to the cardinals, the

developments in artificial intelligence pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice and labor. and a reference to leo the 13th. and and how the industrial revolution and mirroring that in the current technological advances and how the church must lead and be an example. >> that's right. that's absolutely fascinating and confirmed what many of us suspected about why he chose the name leo. the industrial revolution. it's important to remember, for all of the technological and economic advances it occasioned, also brought about just a catastrophic situation for human rights. the plight of the poor, the separation between the rich and the poor that the industrial revolution occasioned really was a crisis for people's understanding of what it meant to be a human being with intrinsic worth and dignity.

that's not connected from material output or labor. and so i think in this current moment, we see that same sort of crisis. anyone who's a teacher or a professor out there who just spent the last couple of weeks grading a bunch of final papers that were probably written by chatgpt, is probably, you know, joining in that that that crisis moment of all of us wringing our hands and saying, what, what is human labor? what does it mean to be human in an age when you can type the prompt into chatgpt and it spits out, you know, whatever, what what does it mean to be human? what what does it mean to have dignity? what does it mean to have worth? and how do we preserve the rights of workers, of laborers, of the poor in this age of massive technological revolution? i think it's a very fascinating and wise direction for him to be laying out. >> susan reynolds of emory university, thanks so much for being with us. and we're seeing

some of the 150,000 people there at saint peter's square after pope leo the 14th has delivered the regina coeli, christopher lamb is still there. christopher. some people are filing out, but there is still that celebratory mood. we see and hear the bells there at the basilica. tell us more. >> victor. yeah, really a celebration here today in saint peter's. as people filing in, there were bands playing. there's been applause for pope leo as he spoke. he covered a number of topics in his regina caeli prayer. he talked about young people considering a vocation to the priesthood and religious life. he said to them, do not be afraid to consider that. he also spoke about some of the wars going on in the world, made a strong appeal for the end of those to the end of

those conflicts. he also then addressed specifically some of the pilgrims who were there in saint peter's. he made a shout out to some of those from dallas and texas. of course, that special coming from the first american pope born in. chicago. and then there were the chants of viva il papa! long live the pope! as pope leo stood on the balcony and of course, gave his blessing to the crowd a little surprise victor, that the pope started to sing part of the sunday regina kelly prayer. that's something that pope francis didn't do. but he spontaneously sang it. and i think that also added to the joy of this moment. the first sunday address and appearance from pope leo since his election. victor. >> and tomorrow, the pope will sit down with some of the journalists who traveled to rome to cover the conclave. and i expect we'll hear more of the

themes that he addressed this morning. christopher lamb there, saint peter's square. we'll take a break. we'll be right back. >> i want to show you one of my favorite spots in madrid. madrid? it is the destination for the culture and the food. madrid is having its moment. >> eva longoria searching for spain tonight at 9:00 on cnn. >> they say seeing is believing. but with stearns and foster, that's only part of the story. we hand-craft every stearns and foster using the finest materials like indulgent memory foam and ultra conforming

kind of delay, sleight of hand that many in europe have said that putin has been engaging in this entire process? this is just the next iteration. >> look, i think it's important to view it potentially in that context. he was very clearly given a demand by. >> the four main european military powers the biggest armies, two nuclear powers and ukraine, with the backing of u.s. president trump. they said to agree to this unconditional ceasefire. and yes, he simply did not agree to it. in the statements he made, he offered a slight carrot to diplomacy by suggesting direct talks, specifically in istanbul on thursday. i should point out that's not the first time that would indeed have happened. and it really, i think, depends on the level he's talking about. previously, president trump has talked about direct talks at the highest level. moscow and kyiv have suggested that might be something they could entertain in different types of language. so it's not a new idea. and indeed, yes, it is a next step of diplomacy that would follow

three days, four days after the midnight ceasefire that's supposed to begin. so ukraine again today saying ceasefire, first, talks later. french president emmanuel macron, who spoke to trump multiple times prior to his visit to kyiv, seemingly doing a lot of the diplomatic heavy lifting to get us to where we are right now. he, when arriving out of kyiv in poland, said again that you can't have negotiations while civilians are being killed as the russian unilateral ceasefire ended at midnight last night, one which on the battlefield, ukraine says they haven't really respected. again, russian attack drones moved across ukraine. so we're into a complex moment here. it does at this stage seem that despite persistent european and ukrainian demands, russia has yet to agree to this ceasefire. in fact, putin's comments were quite extensive in dismissing how ukraine had respected the previous ceasefires that russia has unilaterally called. indeed, ukraine said it wasn't going to sign up to the last one because

it said that russia used the first one to basically reposition and improve its battlefield positions. so we're into a complex moment ahead of midnight, where it looks like the kremlin is not about to sign on to that. then the question is, are the penalties, which europe clearly stated those four european powers and ukraine said they had american backing to implement the massive sanctions that emmanuel macron spoke about. is that something that's going to kick in? well, for that to happen. all eyes are now on president donald trump, who said he'll continue to work with russia and ukraine. he talked positively about the process after putin had spoken, not accepting the ceasefire. and he's about to embark on a trip around the region near istanbul. a lot moving right now, but one thing is clear we don't have russia signing on to the ceasefire at midnight tonight. >> yet nick paton walsh for us there in kyiv. thanks so much relief in both india and pakistan about this ceasefire. however, there are accusations

from each side that the other has violated this. we'll talk about the steps forward after the break. >> five good things. listen, wherever you get your podcasts, allergy season is nervive season. >> when you're dealing with allergies and you've got that stopped up feeling and you can blow your nose and it's a little bit better using the takes it all away. put the water on the top chamber, put the pot in and close the lid. put it in your nose. push the button. you're done. it's natural. it's effective. it's fast. probably the best investment you could make if you suffer with allergies. >> and for a stuffy little noses, pick up the new navage baby aspirator now at walmart in the baby department. >> your record label is taking off, but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. >> i need indeed. >> indeed you do. our advanced matching helps find talented candidates so you can connect with them fast. visit

pakistan, and we have matthew chance in new delhi. nic, we're starting with you. and today, a day of celebration there. >> yeah, a day of thanksgiving. that's what the country is calling it, you know, to give gratitude to allah, to thank the troops, to get that sense of national unity. and i think it is fair to say that pakistan, not only pakistanis, feel not only relieved because let's not forget here, this was a very intense war. at certain moments, india striking deeper and more extensively, extensively into pakistan than they have done in 50 years. the countries have fought several wars previously over issues in kashmir. every time pakistan loses and recently it had really felt isolated from the international community that india was sort of looming over them. and you get a sense of this now from what we're hearing from politicians and the thanks that they're giving to

president trump, president trump in his post today said that he will help pakistan and india to deal with their issues over kashmir. the ministry of foreign affairs today released a statement saying that they were grateful for president trump and his team's involvement in the negotiations, that they looked forward to being able to you know, find that support going forward. and i think it's also worth noting here that it's not just the united states that that officials here have been thanking. it has been turkey, it has been the uae, it's been saudi arabia. the greeks called up the other day, china, a massive and stalwart ally whose military made a huge difference in the aerial dogfights of the fighter jets and the missiles supplied to pakistan. lessons, military lessons learned by both sides in this four day conflict. but i think where pakistan emerges today recognizes that it has huge challenges still in dealing with india going forward, particularly on the issue of kashmir, particularly

on the issue of the water that the treaty that india says it's going to continue to abrogate and not supply vital water to pakistan. and i think on that very intriguing and interesting question of the role that the united states played in. they saw something troubling. they piled in the diplomatic effort, both with india and pakistan working with both countries to resolve this and bring a ceasefire that teetered even to the last minute. pakistan thanks the united states for their engagement. india says no. this was all done unilaterally between india and pakistan. historically, india does not want to internationalize the issue of kashmir and other issues as well between the two countries. not clear why, but the quick analysis might be that india fears having other international players involved. perhaps tips the balance against them, but certainly pakistan feels that the balance has tipped towards them in terms of international support. after what's happened over the past

four days. >> all right. nic robertson, for us there in islamabad, that takes us right now to matthew chance, cnn's chief global affairs correspondent. matthew, and this is the right segue into you, because there was so much gratitude from the pakistani prime minister to the the president and the u.s. administration. india says not only did the u.s. not play a major role here, no one will come in from outside of these two countries to to negotiate kashmir. >> well, that's right, there's definitely. >> been a distinct, you know, different emphasis here in india in terms of the role the united states played. and there are a couple of reasons for that. one of them, as nick was just saying, is that here in india, there's a long standing refusal to participate in sort of or allow international mediation when it comes to the the the dispute over kashmir. it's been a long running dispute. it's

been going on for for many decades, really for nearly 78 years, in fact, since the, the early days of of of the foundation of the state of india and from the outset, india has categorically refused, or at least in recent years, india has categorically refused to engage in negotiations. that's one of the reasons why it's been so reluctant to acknowledge there was a u.s. broker brokering aspect of this, of this, of this latest ceasefire. there's also, you know, nationalistic reasons as well. you know, india has you know, a very strong nationalistic sort of, you know, body of support. and, you know, it didn't want to project the idea. i don't think that this piece was in some way imposed upon it from an outside power. the message, the narrative that the indian government very much wants to put across to its own people is that this was

something that was its initiative, something that it agreed to do on its own terms. and i think that's why there's there's a real difference in the narratives coming out of india and pakistan right now on, you know, why this ceasefire and how this ceasefire took shape. >> matthew chance for us there, new delhi. matthew, thank you. all right. so the administration has been spending days trying to downplay expectations for these talks with china in switzerland. and now president trump has posted on social media a total reset negotiated. we'll get into that for people who are hoping for a breakthrough in president trump's trade war. round two of talks between the u.s. and china today. we'll discuss next. >> the whole story with anderson cooper, now nominated for six emmy awards for long form journalism. this week, erica hill explores the impact of overtourism on one of italy's most beloved cities. the whole

>> gonna be. >> all. >> right. >> my happy place tonight at ten on cnn. >> this morning, a source tells cnn that u.s. and chinese officials are preparing for a second day of trade talks in geneva, switzerland. the u.s. still has a 145% tariff on most goods shipped to the states from china. joining me now to unpack this and all the other political headlines this week, washington bureau chief for the chicago sun-times, lynn sweet. lynn, good morning to you. and i want to start with what i teased before the break. the white house spent the week lowering expectations. it's just an icebreaker. no big deal coming out of this. we're just going to talk. and then the president

posted on social media total reset negotiated in a friendly but constructive manner. good progress made. just a meeting. seems like that's not going to ve up to this. what's the white house expecting? or or, i guess, suggesting out of these meetings? >> well, good morning, victor. what you saw was so characteristic of trump, who is continually in search of quick solutions. and he could post what he could post solutions. he could post that he has a deal. and that doesn't mean that there is a deal. these trade talks are good right now. trade is destabilized right now. the two china and us need to talk. and they're talking. and that's good. it does not mean that there is a reset until you announce numbers. so when you talk about trade as opposed to some more complicated

international issues, it really boils down to what are the numbers? and until we hear that, we don't know what the reset really means. >> let's talk now about the ukraine and russia. saga ahead of yesterday's ultimatum, the president. secretary rubio, had said that it may be time to move on. they also discussed sanctions. if there was no progress were a day from the start of the proposed cease fire. and putin has said, i'd rather have talks. what's the degree of frustration inside the white house? and could this be enough to peel off the president to say, well, putin now wants to come to the table? >> again, this goes back to the underlying iue witthe, with president trump annow his admistraon, thate gets frustrated if ings don't happenast. strade war,

china, us. he wants to kind done in a day. he's the president who said when he was running for office, i could have a peace deal with putin and lenskyy in a day. and these things take more than a day. so, victor? yes, perhaps the the the need tmove on might not be propeld by fts on the ground or some delicate negotiations. as much as trump wanting to kind of check a box to declare victory and move on. he has to live by his pledge to get these things done in a day. though at the moment there seems no political impact that his actions didn't meet his rhetoric. >> all right. the president is preparing to travel to saudi arabia, qatar and the uae. sources say that he's looking for economic agreements. of course, there's the hamas. israel, hamas, israel. war going on, jared kushner advising the president. and he was

influential in the abraham accords. what are the expectations for for this trip? >> this is his first major international trip. and it it is sticking to just trade issues. there probably are more tangibles that could come out of it. why do i say that? because trump's first administration with jared kushner was able to create what is known as the abraham accords, which was normalizing business relationships with israel. this comes in a much tougher climate, as the israeli-hamas war has been dragging on again. trump thought he could quickly bring about a negotiated peace or a ceasefire. and return of the hostages. hostages are still being held. netanyahu is still pursuing military action. now, is this going to be totally independent of striking a deal with these, nations? maybe i'd

say, or maybe on that one. but some of this does depend on what exactly trump wants to claim as a victory. sometimes in these trips, everything is precooked, and it's just a formality. and in this case, not sure. >> all right, lynn sweet, thanks so much. enjoy this sunday. there's a lot going on in both india and pakistan. and russia and ukraine. we'll discuss all that and more with geopolitical expert after a break. >> today. >> as the u.s. starts talks with china on trade, commerce secretary howard lutnick joins dana bash plus former new hampshire governor chris sununu debates former ambassador rahm emanuel, state of the union live this morning at nine. >> when i first started college, i had a husband. getting ready to deploy in a small child. i decided it was probably not the best time for me to try and go to school. when things settle

day cease fire between russia and ukraine with bobby ghosh. she's the former editor of the hindustan times and a geopolitics analyst. bobby, good morning to you. >> morning, victor. >> so let's start here with india and pakistan. this cease fire is holding. for the first few hours, there were accusations from each that the other had violated. but, you know, we're several hours into it now. but you call this a new, more dangerous era. why? >> well, if you look at how these spasms of violence between these two countries have gone in the past. victor, there's a terrorist attack on india. india responds by striking terrorist targets in pakistan. pakistan then does some sort of a symbolic attack on india. and then the two sides call it quits. and each side then claims that it has achieved its results. what's different this time is that the the the conflict has gone on for several days, and the kinds of targets that each side has picked have now the bar has been raised,

india has now struck pakistani military targets, not just terrorist targets and sometimes quite deep into pakistani territory, into important places. close pakistani military bases in and around the cities of lahore, rawalpindi quite close, we are told to the the headquarters of pakistan's nuclear command. pakistan likewise has also struck at indian military targets brought down some indian military jets. the exact numbers have not yet been confirmed, but clearly the bar on both sides have been raised and the messaging from the governments on each side towards their own people has also the bar there has been raised that if the enemy attacks us, this is how far we're willing to go. so the problem with any long running conflict, like the indian-pakistani conflict, is that every time there is a spasm of violence and the bar is raised, it means that the next time there is this, this sort of provocation and, and sort of toing and froing of, of attacks, you have to go up to

the last bar and then go a step forward. that's the political reality of it, that that's what comes off this kind of messaging, the expectations that have been set with the population on both sides have been raised, and that's the real danger. and as long as the underlying conflict is not addressed, there's always a risk that we will come back to this place again. >> so you say this is a more dangerous era, and that's for every subsequent intersection. but at this intersection, do you believe that they have retreated from the type of escalation that that moved, say, vice president vance, from saying this is fundamentally not our business to attempting to get involved and mediate some some pause? >> well, they certainly have pulled back. and it was expected that they would there was expectations that once each side had that if you were paying close attention to the propaganda messaging in both countries, there was already this language that we have

taught them a lesson that that that is those are trigger words. when one side says that, it means that we've done enough for now. so i think that mediation or mediation, mediation doesn't work if the two parties are not willing to get to use the off ramp that is being provided. and i think both parties had already signaled that they were ready for that step. and then a lot of other international players got involved. the american president is trying to claim much of the credit for himself. the indians are saying the americans had no role. the pakistanis are saying there were 36 countries, three dozen countries that were involved in the diplomatic effort. i think for the people who are caught in the middle of this war for ordinary kashmiris indians and pakistanis, they're just relieved that the ceasefire seems to be taking hold. they don't really care what the mediation process was like. as long as the guns go silent. >> let's talk about russia and ukraine. do you think that this offer from president putin attempting to skip by this, this

request or this demand for a 30 day ceasefire and go straight to talks in istanbul on thursday will be enough to peel off president trump, who wants a quick finish, who wants a win? from what we saw from him yesterday, standing shoulder to shoulder with ukraine and the rest of europe. >> i think it's designed to do that. trump wants to wants quick action and russia is showing that it is on the side of peace. and i think zelenskyy's response is also designed to appease trump, to say, look, i'm not the one standing in the way of peace. the europeans, i think, are taking the more realistic view we've heard from president macron of france saying, this is russia just buying time. i think that's the more accurate description of it. but both moscow and kyiv are signaling towards washington, not towards the europeans. >> bobby ghosh, always good to have you. thank you. >> anytime. >> still to come, millions of catholics around the world tuned in to hear the new pontiff lead prayers this morning. more on pope leo's message to the
