Pope Francis has asked for forgiveness during his first public remarks in Canada.

Speaking on the grounds of a former school, the pontiff said his apology is the first step, and serious investigations into abuse must now happen.

The Pope is visiting Canada to say sorry for the church’s role in schools, which saw the assimilation of many indigenous children.

Policies at the government-funded schools were designed to destroy indigenous cultures and languages.

‘Sorrow and shame’ are some of the words used by Francis to express his feelings towards the actions of his predecessors.

He labeled the school system a “disastrous error” and asked for forgiveness “for the evil committed by so many Christians” against indigenous peoples.

Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the U.S.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.
