About this episode
Pope Francis died in the early hours of Easter Monday. His funeral will take place on Saturday, which will start the first of nine days of global mourning. A liberal Pope, his attitudes were both loved and controversial. James asks what it means to be Catholic, and why Pope Francis’ death has generated such an extraordinary response.
Also, for the first time, the Home Office is to publish the nationalities of criminal immigrants in the UK. Why are Labour doing this and why would anyone welcome this policy?
And, James speaks to Fatima Whitbread MBE, former javelin world record holder and x2 Olympic medalist, about her campaign to improve the lives of children in care and care leavers.
