It’s the final day of a historic US visit by Pope Benedict XVI. He began the day with a blessing 1 at Ground Zero. He walked to a spot by the north tower’s footprints, knelt in silent prayer then rose to light a candle in memory of those who died September 11th, 2001.
“God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in hearts of all men and women, and peace among the nations of the earth. Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred 2.”
The Pope also prayed with families who lost loved ones in the attacks this afternoon. The pontiff is saying Mass at Yankee Stadium before heading back home to the Vatican tonight.
The clock is ticking down for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They are both scrambling 3 for votes in Pennsylvania ahead of Tuesday’s primary there. And both are throwing negative jabs on one another. Clinton says the race is a choice between flash and substance; Obama says Clinton is a slash-and-burn game player who will say whatever people want to hear to win.

Britain's Defense 8 Ministry 9 has confirmed the prince landed a helicopter in his girlfriend's backyard while on a training mission.
