Pope Leo XIV's inauguration dominated morning coverage, with Queen Máxima among hundreds of thousands attending as the pontiff declared he "doesn't want to be an autocrat."

An Amber Alert was issued for two missing children, with police later releasing the father's name and photo. Meanwhile, Israel's new Gaza offensive continued with reports of a "comprehensive invasion" while maintaining food and medicine blockades, though later announcing limited humanitarian aid access.
