Pope Francis Calls for a Two State Solution in the Middle East

The pontiff used his traditional Christmas Day message once again to call for a fresh attempt to negotiate peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Also on the programme: a look at how cuisine flavoured the literature of Charles Dickens; and this year's Newshour Christmas Quiz pits the best minds in international news against each other.
