Watch: Thousands attend Leo XIV's inauguration Mass

Pope Leo XIV has called for unity at his inaugural Mass at the Vatican attended by thousands of faithful and world leaders including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky.

During the address on Sunday, he criticised economic systems which he said exploited "Earth's resources" and and marginalised the poor.

He also said he would seek to govern "without ever yielding to the temptation to be an autocrat".

The Pope noted efforts to end the war in Ukraine in a prayer after the service and also held a meeting with Zelensky. The pontiff had called for an end to the war in his first days in office. ........................................................
