Pope Francis complains of 'haggard' Europe in Strasbourg

Pope Francis has warned that the world sees Europe as "somewhat elderly and haggard" during a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

The Pope said the continent felt "less and less a protagonist", in a world that regarded it with mistrust.

He also called for a "united response" to help the boatloads of migrants arriving in Europe.

The BBC's Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports.
