Pope Francis said Monday that the world stood on the "edge" of nuclear war and admitted the situation terrified him.
The Argentine was speaking aboard the papal plane on his way to Chile and Peru nike air max flair nz , the day after a false missile alert sparked panic in the US state of Hawaii, already on edge over fears of a North Korean attack.
Asked about the threat of nuclear war in the wake of a flurry of nuclear and missile tests since last year in North Korea, the pope said: "I think we are at the very edge.
"I am really afraid of this. One accident is enough to precipitate things," he told journalists.
The 81-year old, who has often spoken of the dangers of nuclear weapons, presented the press pack aboard his plane with a harrowing photograph taken in 1945 that shows a young Japanese boy carrying his dead brother.
The child nike air max 97 mens nz , carried on the boy's back, was killed when the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki.
Francis had written on the back of the image just four words: "The fruit of war".
"I wanted to reprint and distribute it because an image like this can be more moving than a thousand words. That is why I wanted to share it with you," he said.

Gregg Popovich was the coach nobody wanted.
It’s hard to fathom now, after five NBA championships as coach of the San Antonio Spurs and with him now alone in fifth place on the league’s all-time victory list.
But it’s true — Popovich’s decision to fire Bob Hill and make himself coach and general manager in December 1996 was horribly received at first, leaving even some of his own players baffled.
The San Antonio Express-News took a poll after that season and found that 92 percent of Spurs fans wanted Popovich fired.
As Popovich would suggest now (on politics, one of his favorite topics) nike air max 97 nz , sometimes voters get it wrong.“The pressure is always there for any coach,” Popovich said.
“You’ve got to get the job done. If you don’t, you’re not there. If you do get it done, you get to stay.”
He said those words in 1997. He was right.
Popovich now has 1,176 wins. He’s 34 away from No. 4 Pat Riley, 45 shy of No. 3 Jerry Sloan nike air vapormax flyknit nz , and should catch both next season. He would need 156 to catch No. 2 Lenny Wilkens, and 159 to match No. 1 Don Nelson’s record of 1,335.
“Doesn’t mean anything, except I’ve had good players and I’ve been coaching for eons,” Popovich said.
On Tuesday, he was just as fooled initially as the referees and didn’t realize that Manu Ginobili’s overthrown pass had gone in the basket nike air vapormax womens nz , the most bizarre bucket of San Antonio’s 100-91 victory over the New York Knicks.
“I did not, in all honestly. I did not,” Popovich said. “Then everybody started grabbing me and saying the ball went in. I said, ‘Yeah, the ball went in!’
I acted like I knew what was going on.”
He almost always does.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 29 points and Kawhi Leonard had a season-high 25 for the Spurs. Ginobili finished with 12 points — three of them coming on what appeared to be a pass that went into the basket without everyone noticing.
“He makes magic happen,” Aldridge said. “He’s the only 40-year-old that can make plays like he does every night.”
The Spurs beat the Knicks for the second time in six days and won for the fourth time in five games.
Ginobili nike air vapormax mens nz , the Argentine veteran who got some loud cheers as he often does while playing in New York, appeared to be attempting a lob pass from beyond the 3-point line to Aldridge, but the pass went over his head.
Michael Beasley grabbed it and began dribbling up the court as Ginobili and other Spurs waved frantically to the officials that the ball had actually gone into the basket.
“It went so clean that nobody saw it and I went crazy because once you make a shot like that, you want it to count,” Ginobili said.
“So yeah, it was very awkward nike air vapormax 2018 nz , but common sense, I guess. The refs reviewed it and we got it.”Referees eventually credited the basket to Ginobili but only for two points. The basket was reviewed after the quarter ended and counted as a 3-pointer.

MILAN, May 12 (Xinhua) -- China stands out not only for its three pavilions, one national and two corporate at the world exposition in Milan, but also for the special attention paid by the Italian event to the Asian country.
When international visitors arrive in Milan Malpensa, one cannot fail to notice the "Chinese-friendly" spirit of the airport nike air vapormax nz , which has equipped with Chinese signage and Mandarin-speaking staff.
Earlier this year, the managing company of Milan Malpensa was conferred the 2015 Gold Award for Service Quality of CTW Chinese Tourist Welcome Award, the most important quality sign for the international Chinese outbound market.
Both the Malpensa airport and the Italian State railway have launched a website in Chinese and have trained their personnel to understand China's culture with the goal to make Chinese passengers feel at home, starting from food.
For example, while traveling on an Italian State railway train, it is possible to taste dishes of China's culinary tradition. Meanwhile nike air max 2017 mens nz , various top-level restaurants in the Milan city center have introduced a Chinese menu to welcome the some one million Chinese tourists expected during the Expo.
The Expo Milano 2015, which runs from May 1 to Oct. 31, is dedicated to global food issues. Yu Peijian, a student at Milan Polytechnic University, is one of the Chinese volunteers who help visitors at the Expo site, around one million square meters northwest of Milan.
"I provide general information about the site and events taking place at the pavilions nike air max 2017 mens ," Yu told Xinhua. He said a majority of Chinese volunteers are Chinese students living in Milan, but there are also a few who came from China to take part in the program.
Among the China-related initiatives. |
