Mourners file past Pope Francis's coffin
Pope Francis's body is lying in state in St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
We are live in Rome speaking to mourners who are queueing to pay their respects to Pope Francis as he lies in state. Francis will lie in state until Friday evening, before his funeral on Saturday. We speak to mourners and to a local tour guide.
We speak to our colleagues from 蜜芽传媒 Mundo and 蜜芽传媒 Ukrainian who are in Rome covering the events, and our reporter in Rome, herself Italian, explains how she is covering the story for 蜜芽传媒 Online.
We hear from people in Turkey, where the region around Istanbul has been hit by one powerful earthquake and more than fifty aftershocks.
Presenter: Mark Lowen in Rome and Luke Jones in London.
