Pope Meets Aung San Suu Kyi

BBC World Service - Newshour, Pope Meets Aung San Suu Kyi

In Myanmar, Pope Francis calls for "respect for each ethnic group"

In Myanmar, Pope Francis delivers a keynote address demanding "respect for each ethnic group", but doesn't refer directly to the country's persecuted Muslim Rohingya minority community.

Also in programme: Uhuru Kenyatta is sworn in as Kenya's president after that country's disputed election; and the hybrid electric engine technology being developed for the aviation sector.
