We hear from the man he has appointed as his envoy to Africa, Massad Boulos. He talks to us about his efforts to end the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Pope Francis's body will be placed in St Peter's Basilica this morning at the start of three days of lying in state. We hear from the Pope's hometown of Buenos Airies in Argentina.
