Francis was highlighting in particular the plight of South Sudanese women, half of whom are married before age 18, are subject to rampant sexual violence and then face the world’s highest maternal mortality rate.
Japan's government will begin restricting exports of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China in Spring after it amends a foreign exchange law to allow the change, Kyodo News reported on Saturday.

The fax machine is 1980s technology that's still being widely used in Ontario's health-care system, but that could soon change. Ontario health-care providers send an estimated 152 million faxes each year, according to the Ministry of Health. Premier Doug Ford's government is promising to phase out faxes in health over a five-year timeline.

When the 2021 Nissan Rogue that belongs to his father was stolen in Oakville, Ont. late last year, Rami Temani says he immediately called police. But after being told it would take several hours for officers to arrive, and seeing the transactions rack up on his mother's debit card at nearby locations, Temani decided he had to take matters into his own hands.
