(Reuters) - Pope Francis forcefully injected himself into the U.S. presidential campaign on Thursday, assailing Republican candidate Donald Trump's views on U.S. immigration as "not Christian" in a sign of growing international concern at the billionaire businessman's election prospects. Trump struck back. Francis told reporters during a free-wheeling conversation on his flight home from a visit to Mexico: "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian." Trump has accused Mexico of sending rapists and drug-runners across the United States' southern border and has vowed if elected president to build a wall to keep out immigrants who enter illegally.

| This is not a pipe - the surrealist Brexit summit | |  As Europe's leaders bargained through the night on a deal to help Prime Minister David Cameron keep Britain in the EU, a "war room" of lawyers wrangled over how to reconcile diametrically opposite meanings of the same three words - "ever closer union". It reminded one official of Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte's painting of a pipe, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is Not a Pipe), when is a thing real and when merely an image? Does the treaty vow commit governments to build a United States of Europe, as the Union's federalist host Belgium hopes and eurosceptic Britons fear?

| SGS, Weatherford trade blame over Iraq's missing nuclear material | | Thursday, February 18, 2016 11:43 PM | |
|  By Michael Shields and Stephen Kalin ZURICH/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Swiss inspections group SGS and U.S. group Weatherford International Plc traded recriminations on Thursday, both denying responsibility for the disappearance last year of radioactive material used to test pipes at an oil field in southern Iraq. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Iraq was searching for a "highly dangerous" radioactive source whose theft in November had raised fears among Iraqi officials that it could be used as a weapon if acquired by Islamic State. SGS said in a statement that the equipment and material, when not in use, had been stored in a "secured bunker" provided by Weatherford, which it said was the "main contractor" and had hired its Turkish unit to perform the tests.
