Burkina Faso: Coup Leader to Step Aside

Burkina Faso unrest; Hungary's militarised border; Pope in the US

General Gilbert Diendere, leader of the coup in Burkina Faso, has said he is ready to hand over power to transitional civilian authorities, as the army marches on the capital.

The Hungarian parliament gives the military the right to use non-lethal force against those trying to enter the country.

As the Pope arrives in the US, Assyrian Christians, who have fled Syria and Iraq, are hoping to catch his attention.
