From NPR news in Washington, I'm Barbara Cline.In Philadelphia, ecstatic crowds as Pope Francis rose to the street to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway where he's just beginning to celebrate outdoor Mass, the last major event of his US trip. Earlier today, Francis met with victims of sexual abuse. God weeps for the sexual abuse of children. These cannot be maintained and secreted 1. Speaking through an interpreter to US bishops 2 this morning in Philadelphia, Francis promised those responsible for abusing children will be held accountable. Iranian president Hassan Rouhani tells NPR his country is committed to living up to the terms of the nuclear agreement reached with the US and five other world powers.

Iraqi officials say Iraq, Iran, Russia and Syria have agreed to share intelligence to counter ISIS. They say a committee is formed to coordinate 3 their efforts. And France is expanding its role in the fight against IS militants 4. French jets have already been attacking ISIS in Iraq as part of the US-led coalition 5. Now JS reports France is targeting IS militants in Syria. Extremist terror attacks at home and an influx 6 of war refugees have spurred France to take direct action in Syria.

According to the New York Times, nearly 30,000 people with intentions of joining ISIS have entered Syria in the last year.

Vote-coungting is under way in Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia. Voters cast ballots 12 for regional parliament but LF reports the poll is really about whether Catalonians want to break away from Spain. Catalans have their language and culture and have long sought more autonomy from Spain. But the central government in Madrid has blocked those efforts and didn't recognize independence referendum held last year. Now Catalan separatists say if they win a majority of seats in Catalonia's regional parliament, they'll move to break away from Spain unilaterally. Within 18 months, it could establish a new country in Europe. They'll start by setting up a Catalan tax office and embassies around the world, moves Spain says violate the country's constitution. NPR news, I'm LF.
