| Addressing Congress, pope urges U.S. to end hostility toward immigrants |
|
 By Philip Pullella and Scott Malone WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pope Francis beseeched Americans to end hostility toward immigrants in a historic speech before the U.S. Congress on Thursday, weighing in forcefully on a divisive issue that is stirring debate in the 2016 presidential campaign. Bringing a message that America's power and wealth should be used to serve humanity, the 78-year-old pontiff said the United States must not turn its back on "the stranger in our midst." "Building a nation calls us to recognise that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mindset of hostility," Francis told the Republican-led Congress in Washington a day after he met with Democratic President Barack Obama. Francis, born in Argentina to an Italian immigrant family, delivered a wide-ranging speech that addressed issues dear to liberals in the United States but also emphasized conservative values and Catholic teachings on the family.

 By Julia Symmes Cobb and Luis Jaime Acosta BOGOTA/HAVANA (Reuters) - A breakthrough in talks between Colombia's government and Marxist guerrillas has raised hopes for a peace deal within six months and it may mean rebel leaders will avoid being extradited to face drug trafficking charges in the United States. President Juan Manuel Santos and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group agreed on Wednesday to create special courts to try former combatants including guerrillas and also vowed to sign a peace deal by March to end five decades of war. Sergio Jaramillo, the government's peace commissioner, said the conditions under which rebels could be extradited will not be defined until the final peace deal is reached and he suggested the FARC would not agree to it.
