World on 'precipice', says Pope as he meets grand imam in Bahrain

POPE Francis warned the world is on the edge of a 'delicate precipice' and buffeted by 'winds of war' as he held inter-faith talks with one of Sunni Islam's top leaders in Bahrain on Friday.

The 85-year-old Argentine decried the 'opposing blocs' of East and West, a veiled reference to the standoff over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in a speech to religious leaders in the tiny Gulf state.
