They discuss the Pope’s own role in politics around the world and the legacy he leaves behind.

Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves is heading to Washington ahead of her first IMF spring meetings, amid pessimistic predictions for the UK’s own economy.

Sam and Anne discuss whether the chancellor can bring Trump’s tariffs on UK imports down and keep hopes high for a US-UK trade deal.
