Conclave votes for the next pope
We're live from the Vatican where cardinals have gathered to elect a new pope
Our presenter Mark Lowen is live at the Vatican as cardinals gather for a second day to elect a new pope. We speak to people who have travelled from all over the world to be there and bring you events from inside the conclave as they happen.
There's been a further escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. Both nations have for the first time carried out mass drone attacks, including on military installations. We hear from people in Kashmir and people from the region that now live abroad.
President Donald Trump says it is a "great honour" to announce a US-UK deal to reduce trade tariffs. We hear reaction from business owners in both countries on how this could affect them.
Presenters: Mark Lowen & Luke Jones
