Pope Francis in Egypt

Pope Francis is beginning a visit to Egypt aimed at improving dialogue with Islam three weeks after bomb attacks on two Coptic churches killed 45 people. The 80-year-old pontiff says he is travelling as a "messenger of peace" and, despite the security concerns, will not use an armoured car. He will meet the Egyptian president and speak at al-Azhar University, a key centre of Sunni Islamic learning.
