07.06.2025Funeral Grounds Diplomatic Pivot

Virginia Giuffre, prominent Epstein victim and Prince Andrew accuser, died by suicide at 41, with family stating "the toll of abuse was too heavy." Media coverage rapidly shifted to Pope Francis's funeral, where 400,000 mourners gathered alongside world leaders.

The funeral became an unexpected diplomatic venue when Trump and Zelensky held a 15-minute "very productive" meeting in St. Peter's Basilica. Following this encounter, Trump dramatically pivoted his stance on Putin, now questioning Russia's desire for peace after months of supporting Moscow's position. Some outlets framed this shift as Pope Francis's "final miracle."

During the ceremony, a cardinal appeared to rebuke Trump by repeating Francis's call to "build bridges, not walls." Media scrutinized funeral protocol violations, with Trump accused of chewing gum and using his phone while dignitaries took photos of the Pope's coffin.

The evening concluded with Chris Eubank Jr defeating Conor Benn in a boxing match that settled their fathers' 32-year rivalry.
