🇻🇦🇺🇦 Pope says Ukraine should have 'courage of the white flag' of negotiations

Pope Francis has said in an interview that Ukraine should have what he called the courage of the "white flag" and negotiate an end to the war with Russia that followed Moscow's full-scale invasion two years ago and that has killed tens of thousands.

"But I think that the strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates," Francis said, adding that talks should take place with the help of international powers.

"The word negotiate is a courageous word. When you see that you are defeated, that things are not going well, you have to have the courage to negotiate," Francis said.

✈️ Boeing Extends 2024 Drop Past 25% as Max Crisis Deepens

Boeing Co.’s crisis of confidence gathered pace, with the share slump surpassing 25% this year after the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into an accident that has thrown the company into disarray.

The shares slid as much as 4.4% in New York on Monday, their biggest intraday drop since Jan. 25. Alaska Airlines — the carrier on which a fuselage panel blew out during a 737 Max flight earlier this year — confirmed the government probe. Federal prosecutors have convened a grand jury as part of the investigation, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.

Shares of Boeing fell 3.2% as of 1:32 p.m. in New York, bringing the 2024 decline to 26%, worst among members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

✈️ Pressure on Boeing grows as Buttigieg says the company needs to cooperate with investigations

With Boeing facing multiple government investigations, the company needs to make “a serious transformation” around its safety and manufacturing quality, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday.

The comments came one day after Buttigieg said the aircraft builder is under “enormous” scrutiny by his department since a panel blew off a Boeing 737 Max jetliner in midflight.

Over the weekend, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into the Jan. 5 blowout on an Alaska Airlines jet. That followed the company’s admission that it couldn’t find records that the National Transportation Safety Board sought for work done on the panel at a Boeing factory.

The Federal Aviation Administration, part of Buttigieg’s department, is also investigating Boeing.

“Obviously we respect the independence of DOJ (the Department of Justice) and NTSB (the National Transportation Safety Board) doing their own work,” Buttigieg told reporters Monday, “but we are not neutral on the question of whether Boeing should fully cooperate with any entity — NTSB, us, or DOJ. They should, and we expect them to.”

Buttigieg said Boeing must “go through a serious transformation here in terms of their responsiveness, their culture and their quality issues.”
