American pope, U.S. - U.K. trade agreement, measles up again, and more

from Your World Tonight

Cardinals choose the first-ever American Pope. Cheers erupted in St. Peter’s Square as white smoke billowed – indicating the selection of Pope Leo XIV. The former Cardinal Prevost was born in Chicago. He served two decades as a priest and bishop in Peru. He delivered his first speech as pope this afternoon from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. And: The U.S. and U.K. took a major step toward a trade agreement. The details are yet to be worked out, but even with concessions, the UK appears not to have escaped all U.S. tariffs. Canadian officials are watching – as they consider their own dealmaking with the U.S. president. Also: The story of a mom who lost her child to complications from measles. As case numbers go up, health officials in Canada are warning people – the disease is not as benign as some think. Plus: Quebec says doctors’ pay will be partly linked to performance, student data is not always safely stored, and more.
