It marks the first ever visit of a leader of the Roman Catholic church to the Arabian Peninsula.

Pope Francis is setting off on the first ever visit of a leader of the Roman Catholic church to the Arabian Peninsula. We look at why he's picked the UAE - and what he's hoping to achieve there.

Also in the programme - how the pacific island of Tonga spent two weeks without access to internet - and why Britain's Sikh population is trying to raise awareness of the small sword they carry for religious reasons.
