Pope slams corruption in Angola

In today's programme: Pope Leo XIV is in Angola, where he slammed exploitation and corruption by the rich and powerful before 40,000 faithful at an open-air mass in the city of Saurimo. Also, the Congolese government and the M23 rebel group say they have agreed to ease humanitarian aid deliveries and release prisoners within 10 days. And in Mali, more than a thousand people flee across the border into Mauritania, seeking safety from armed groups.
