Pope Francis lies in state for final day
Pope Francis's body is lying in state in St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
The Vatican says more than 150,000 have viewed Pope Francis's body, which has been lying in an open coffin in St Peter's Basilica. We are live in Rome and hear from mourners.
We also look how Francis became a voice for migrants and hear from some of the refugees who the Pope brought to the Vatican and how they feel about his legacy.
And, we speak to our collegues in Latin America and Africa about how Pope Francis will be remembered in their regions.
Aid workers in Sudan say children are among those now dying of thirst and starvation after hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee the country's largest displacement camp. We hear an interview with an aid worker and speak to our correspondent about the latest.
Presenter: Mark Lowen in Rome.
