Pope Francis and Chinese President on Visits to the US
Pope meets Obama and Xi Jinping gives speech; EU migrant crisis update, Greek bartering.
President Obama has welcomed the Pope to the United States, where he is beginning a six day visit. The Chinese President has also arrived in the country to spend three days meeting business and technology leaders. Also, European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels again after their countries' interior ministers approved a plan to relocate thousands of refugees within the continent. As economic problems in Greece continue, more and more people are resorting to bartering.
