JUST IN: Cardinals have chosen May 7 as the date to start conclave and elect a new leader for 1.4 billion Catholics around the world, a Vatican source told CNN.

Pope Francis, 88, died of a stroke and heart failure on Easter Monday. He was laid to rest on Saturday at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in a simple tomb as requested by the late pontiff, following a funeral Mass on the steps of the St. Peter’s Basilica that drew heads of state, royalty and hundreds of thousands of mourners.

On Sunday afternoon, some of the cardinals visited the simple, marble tomb with the inscription “Franciscus” to pay homage to the late pontiff. Huge crowds filed past his final resting place in the basilica.

JUST IN - Madrid has activated "status 2" of the Territorial Emergency Plan in response to widespread power outages in Spain.

@disclosetv

Now Belgium is added to the list of power outages. Wowzers.

'Rare atmospheric phenomenon' behind outage and disruption could last a week, Portuguese operator says:

We've just heard from REN, Portugal's grid operator.

It claims the outage that's affected Portugal was caused by a fault in the Spanish electricity grid, related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon".

REN says that, due to extreme temperature variations in Spain, there were "anomalous oscillations" in very high-voltage lines.

It says this is known as "induced atmospheric variation", which in turn led to oscillations which caused synchronisation failures between systems.

That led to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network, it adds.

It also says that given the complexity of the issue, it could take up to a week for the network to fully normalise again.

.@Grok disagrees with Sky News' claim:

"The truth behind the 2025 European power outage is still unclear, but evidence leans toward technical issues, not a "rare atmospheric phenomenon." Reports indicate faults in high-voltage lines within the European grid caused the blackout affecting Spain, Portugal, and France.

"REN's claim of an atmospheric event lacks support from other sources, and their website shows normal operations, possibly due to outdated data. Meanwhile, some officials are investigating a cyber attack, though there's no solid proof yet. The outage's cause remains under review, but technical failure seems most likely based on current findings."

Wow.... I can't believe this question was asked in the press room....

A suspension of habeas corpus allows the government to detain individuals without formally charging them, essentially overriding the right to a legal challenge of detention. This power, according to the US Constitution, can only be invoked when the public safety is threatened by rebellion or invasion. While the Constitution doesn't explicitly state which branch of government can suspend habeas corpus.

Congratulations Joe Rambo! 🏆🇺🇸🎉
