First North American Pope

He has chosen to take the name of Pope Leo 14th

We will bring you reaction as the first North American Pope begins his first day in office. Pope Leo 14th born in Chicago, but preached - for the most part - in Latin America. In his last role he travelled the world - we'll hear from a Kenyan Priest who has met Pope Leo several times.

Pakistan has denied claims by India that its missiles and drones have destroyed three military stations in Indian-administered Kashmir. As tensions between the two nuclear-neighbors flare, we'll speak to our correspondent.

And as Russia marks 80 years since the Allied Victory over Nazi Germany - we'll bring you an exclusive report with voices from Russian-occupied Crimea to see how one resident feels about the celebrations.
