Quick Glance: Pope Washes Feet of 12 Women at Rome Prison
  • Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 female inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual to emphasize his calling of service and humility.

  • He revolutionized the foot-washing ritual for the Vatican by insisting, since his first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, on having women and people of other faiths among the 12 participants.

  • Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter’s Basilica. He was also energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles.

  • Despite the conclusion of Holy Thursday events, Francis has a lot to do in the upcoming days that will test his stamina, including the nighttime Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum on Friday.

Thames Water funding woes deepen after shareholders pull investment plan
Quick Glance: Thames Water Directors Discuss Utility's Future
  • The board of Thames Water engaged in crucial discussions as shareholders consider diluting a funding pledge. Shareholders, including the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and China's sovereign wealth fund, may retract hundreds of millions of pounds in promised funding.

  • Thames Water, employing about 7,000 people and serving nearly a quarter of the British population, is grappling with over £15 billion in debt. Shareholders had committed to provide £3.25 billion in the coming years, with the initial £750 million slated for this year.

  • The shareholders' decision to reduce financial support could leave the heavily indebted company with few viable options to secure its future. Sky News previously reported that Whitehall officials had prepared contingency plans for Thames Water's potential collapse.

  • Thames Water, serving 15 million customers in London and the south-east of England, has faced significant pressure due to leaks, sewage contamination, executive pay, and dividends. The prospect of temporary nationalisation in the event of a collapse could cost taxpayers billions.
