Pope Francis tweeted
Tuesday "let's work for a world without nuclear weapons,
applying the non-proliferation treaty to abolish these
instruments of death". The pope spoke as the United Nations'
72nd General Assembly took place in New York and amid persistent
nuclear threats from the North Korea crisis. United States
President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have
been trading insults over the crisis, amid a mounting missile
programme in the pariah state which has launched missiles over
Japan and Guam.
