PHUKET MEDIA WATCH – World news compiled by Gazette editors for Phuket’s international community Victim from Brazil nightclub fire dies, 16 still hospitalized Reuters / Phuket Gazette PHUKET: A young woman died yesterday from injuries sustained during a January 27 fire at the Kiss nightclub in southern Brazil, bringing the death toll from the college town tragedy to 241, Brazil’s health ministry said.

Fighters under the umbrella of Iraq's paramilitary command will be tasked with protecting Pope Francis during his historic visit to the troubled nation, which comes as violent tensions simmer between the United States and pro-Iran forces linked to the same organization of Iraqi militias.

Pope Francis landed in Baghdad on Friday on the first ever papal visit to Iraq, a deeply symbolic and potentially dangerous trip to rally the country's dwindling Christian population. The 84-year old was greeted on the runway by Mustafa al-Kadhimi, the Prime Minister, an honour guard and lines of dancers wearing the traditional costumes of Iraq's numerous ethnic groups. The Pope's three-day visit, which went ahead despite rising security fears and Covid-19 infection rates, will be filled with symbolic reminders of the tribulations faced by a Christian community that is one of the world's oldest and most persecuted. Hours after his arrival, the Pope honoured the victims of one of Iraq's worst massacres of Christians by Islamic militants, saying prayers at Baghdad's Our Lady of Salvation Cathedral.
