The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We're live in Vatican City as Roman Catholics mourn Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the church - who's died of a stroke and heart failure aged 88. We look at his legacy, and ask what might come next for the church. Also in the programme: The head of the Pentagon has come out fighting - following a report he shared sensitive military data on a group chat, which included his wife and brother. And we report from the mountains of Pakistan on a plan to protect rare snow leopards - using AI.
