Hundreds of thousands of young Catholics, including many social media influencers, have gathered for a vigil and Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV.

Also in the programme: the former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina faces a criminal trial; Russia’s Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka erupts for the first time in hundreds of years; and the enduring appeal of Thomas the Tank Engine.
