The Pope in the DRC: Millions attend mass

We reflect on events in Kinshasa to understand what this trip means to people there

Pope Francis has celebrated one of his biggest masses, with around a million attendees in the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital. Around half of DR Congo's population is Catholic - the largest in Africa. We hear from people inside the country and our religion editor who is there.

PayPal - the online payments company - is getting rid of 2,000 jobs. It's the latest big tech firm to cut costs. Our technology editor tells us more.

And we get reaction to the news that American football legend Tom Brady says he is retiring. He made a similar announcement last year only to return to the game. Fans tells us what they make of the announcement.
