The Archbishop of Canterbury has praised Pope Leo for speaking out against injustice after the pair's historic meeting at the Vatican.

Dame Sarah Mullally, the first woman to lead the Church of England, met Pope Leo at the Apostolic Palace on Monday, and told the pontiff he would receive a "warm welcome" if he were to visit the UK.

In an address following a private discussion between the two religious leaders, she said they were united in prayer for justice and for "peace in our world".

It follows the Pope's warning earlier this month that the world is being "ravaged by a handful of tyrants" as he criticised the cost of war during a visit to Cameroon.
