02:54During the ICC pre-trial hearings of Rodrigo Duterte, a purported affidavit by former Marines circulated alleging they delivered cash
03:02to Trillanes to help fund the ICC investigation.
03:05Trillanes has been working with the ICC since 2017.
03:09He also files a cyber libel complaint and accused several individuals of violating Article 363 of the revised Penal Code
03:16for allegedly incriminating an innocent person.

04:20The Vatican's top diplomat warns, the ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran undermine international law, noting that nations do not
04:27have a right to launch so-called preventive wars in an unusually direct criticism of the military campaign.
04:33Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin says,
04:35The rule of force has replaced the force of law, with the conviction that peace can arise only after the
04:41enemy has been annihilated.
04:43It is unusual for Vatican diplomats to openly criticize specific military campaigns.
04:48They typically avoid public attention and work behind the scenes to keep the Church available as a potential mediator in
04:54conflicts.
04:54Pope Leo did not address the ongoing conflict during his weekly audience with pilgrims at St. Peter's Square on Wednesday.
05:00But on Sunday, he made an impassioned appeal for an end to the conflict and called for a stop to
05:05what he described as a spiral of violence.
