Vatican gives update on Pope Benedict’s condition.
The Vatican has said former Pope Benedict’s condition remains “grave” but stable, after Pope Francis said the former pontiff is “very ill”.
“The Pope Emeritus managed to rest well during the night, he is absolutely lucid and aware, and today, even though his condition remains grave, the situation is at the moment stable,” Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said.

Benedict, who is 95, became the first pope in some 600 years to resign in 2013. He has been living in the Vatican since then.
