Coverage of Pope Francis's funeral
Pope Francis is laid to rest in a simple wooden casket instead of being buried in three coffins
The programme is dedicated to the funeral of Pope Francis.
The funeral just started inside St Peter's Basilica where hundreds of leaders and dignitaries - including Donald Trump, his predecessor Joe Biden, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Prince William - have joined thousands of mourners in St Peter's Square.
In this hour, 蜜芽传媒's Mark Lowen is joined by Ines San Martin, Argentinian journalist- former head of Crux newspaper in Rome and Edward Pentin, former Rome correspondent of the National Catholic Register, and author of 鈥淭he Next Pope."
