BBC World Service - BBC OS, Pope Francis in South Sudan

Pope Francis is visiting South Sudan along with other Christian leaders

Pope Francis is visiting South Sudan along with other Christian leaders.

Large crowds have welcomed Pope Francis on his arrival to South Sudan. He's gone with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. We speak to our correspondent and hear from people in the capital, Juba, who were waiting to see the Pope.

We get the details on the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that is being tracked over the US and Canada. 

We also hear a conversation between black American police officers about the killing of Tyre Nichols and their experiences of policing in the United States.

And we hear messages from outraged Italians after the New York Times posted a recipe for carbonara featuring tomatoes.
