OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea (AP) — The United States has demonstrated what the head of the Pacific Command says is "ironclad" support for allies in South Korea and Japan. It came in the form of a B-52 overflight of South Korea. The nuclear-capable bomber was escorted by U.S. and South Korean fighter jets and is likely to further enrage the north, which has been trumpeting its claim of a successful hydrogen bomb test. Some experts are skeptical of that claim.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican official says an apparent desire to go Hollywood helped them track and recapture notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. The official says security forces located the whereabouts of the world's most-wanted trafficker thanks to a secret interview several months ago with U.S. actor Sean Penn. The interview on the website of Rolling Stone magazine quotes Guzman as denying he's to blame for addiction rates. He says, "The day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all."

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis continues to lay out his pastoral vision of the Roman Catholic Church in his first book. "The Name of God Is Mercy," a 100-page conversation with Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli, is being published this week in 86 countries. Francis condemns what he calls the "scholars of law" who challenge Jesus' message of unconditional love and mercy, calling them hypocrites using the law to hide their own "deep wounds."
