Weekly quiz: What did Trump say about the Pope?

As another week of global events draws to a close, several high-profile developments have dominated headlines across the world, even as many other stories have flown under the radar of public attention. Among the most widely covered incidents this week, a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has managed to hold, despite escalating tensions that followed former U.S. President Donald Trump’s public vow to enforce a full blockade of the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz. Across the globe in Oceania, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, carried out an official visit to Australia, drawing widespread public and media interest during their trip. In a more unusual small-scale story that made headlines nonetheless, a single pair of trainers from budget retail chain Primark played an unexpected key role in securing the conviction and imprisonment of a burglary ring that had been operating in the region. With so many breaking developments unfolding across the world every week, it is easy for even engaged news consumers to miss key details of major stories.
