Nicaraguan Catholic faithful take part in an open air mass, to demand the end of violence in their country, outside the Metropolitan Cathedral in Managua. This comes after a week of protests and clashes with police that left at least 43 people dead, according to a leading human rights group.

Thousands of pilgrims have flocked to the city of Temuco, in the homeland of the indigenous Mapuche people, to listen to the words of Pope Francis. The pontiff is expected to draw attention to the plight of Chile's largest indigenous group, which complains of discrimination and abuse and is seeking the return of ancestral lands now in private hands.
Pope Francis will lead an open-air mass for around 100,000 Catholics in Bangladesh, which is grappling with a rise in Islamist extremism and a massive influx of Rohingya refugees from neighbouring Myanmar. IMAGES
