What the coverage shows

All three outlets tie their coverage to the pope’s remarks, but they frame them differently. The Associated Press is the only one to foreground both the prayer for the Jordan victims and the appeal over Yemen, with an added extract detail about the “grave humanitarian situation” in Taiz. Newsweek’s extract is instead about Leo’s surgery, while Al Jazeera alone leads with mourning for the Jordan church attack and the funeral for eight victims.
