Liam Neeson says he is 'not racist'
The actor admitted he'd once had violent thoughts about black men
Actor Liam Neeson has denied he is racist. He'd admitted in an interview that he walked around with a weapon 40 years ago, hoping to take out his anger on any black man who provoked him. It was after someone close to him was raped by a black man.
Also, we hear from the United Arab Emirates, where Pope Francis has given an open-air mass. It's the first visit by a pontiff to the Arabian peninsula.
And what's the message behind that viral egg photo on Instagram?
