Did Klaus Schwab step down?

“Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect,” Schwab said in a statement released by the WEF. The forum did not say why he was quitting.

Pope Francis

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died on Easter Monday at the age of 88. The Vatican's announcement of his death came just a day after he appeared in a wheelchair at St Peter's Square to wish thousands of worshipers gathered there a "Happy Easter".
