The Pope is currently on a three day visit to the United Arab Emirates. He will hold mass today, with around 130,000 people predicted to attend. Yesterday he met with religious people in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Pope has called for civil wars in Middle Eastern countries, such as Syria and Yemen, to end.
He said violence “cannot be justified” in the name of religion.
The Pope also said religious leaders need to reject war altogether.
