Pope Francis says he’s happy because he has a job and the “inner peace” that comes with age.

The Vatican on Saturday released the text of an informal interview he gave to Belgian youths earlier this week.

When asked if he’s happy, the pontiff said he is, “maybe because I have a job, I’m not unemployed.”

He says his happiness isn’t the same as what young people feel. He says at 77, he feels, “a certain inner peace, a great peace, a happiness that comes as well with age.”

Francis told the youths from Flanders that he has “found my path in life, and going down this path makes me happy.”

Asked how he prays, he replied, “sitting down because it hurts me to kneel.”

Police in Croatia say they have seized more than 800 kilograms (1,700 pounds) of marijuana smuggled over the Adriatic Sea from Albania in a fishing boat.

Police said Saturday that the seizure on Friday is one of the biggest ever in the country. They say the drugs’ value was estimated at some 1.3 million euros ($1.8 million).

The statement says eight Croatian and two Bosnian citizens have been detained, while the boat owner from Albania remains at large.

Police say the drugs were placed in 700 packages for distribution in Croatia and in western Europe.

The Balkan region is one of the main drug smuggling gateways to western Europe.

A nine-month-old boy has appeared in court accused of planning a murder in Pakistan, it has been reported.

Baby Muhammad Mosa Khan has also been charged with threatening police and interfering in state affairs.

He is facing charges along with other family members following a raid by police to catch suspected gas thieves in Lahore. He was granted bail and the case was adjourned until April 12.

Images have emerged of the baby apparently appearing in court, clutching his bottle while sitting on his father’s lap on Thursday.

A police report alleged the suspects tried to murder officers by throwing stones at them during the raid.

Sub-Inspector Kashif Ahmed has now reportedly been suspended for registering the case against the child.

The child’s father said the group had been protesting against a shortage of electricity in their area, The Times of India reported.

The judge was unable to dismiss the case against the child because it was outside of his jurisdiction, The News International has reported.

Two North Korean sailors are dead and 11 missing after a Mongolia-flagged cargo ship sank off the southeastern coast of South Korea.

Three sailors were rescued by the South Korean Coast Guard after the distressed ship, Grand Fortune 1 sank early Friday.

South Korean officials deployed a search plane and a patrol ship to find survivors and rescued the first sailor around 5 a.m.

The other two survivors were rescued at 5:55 a.m. and 7:12 a.m. respectively. The three survivors are being treated on Jeju island, according to South Korean government officials.

It remains unclear why the cargo ship sank.

The ship was believed to have be coming from Chongjin in North Korea, headed to China, reported Yonhap, South Korea’s semi-official news agency.

It carried a Mongolian flag, but had an all-North Korean crew. The two countries are traditional allies and North Korea has been known to sail rented ships.
