Jo McKenna: Europe Correspondent gives an update on Pope Francis' health

  • Summary

  • It's been a peaceful night for the Pope as he continues his three-week recovery from a severe respiratory infection

    The 88-year-old was first treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with double pneumonia in both lungs.

    The Vatican says he wore a ventilation mask overnight to help him breathe, following two episodes of acute respiratory failure earlier this week.

    Europe Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking there's no sign he'll be leaving hospital anytime soon.

    She says they say he's stable, but the episodes of respiratory failure are definitely of concern.
