New medical tests have shown further complications in the condition of Pope Francis. 

They reveal the 88-year-old pontiff has developed bilateral pneumonia. 

The Vatican says laboratory tests, chest X-ray, and the Holy Father's clinical condition continue to present a complex picture. 

Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens that he’s being described as in stable condition and doesn’t have a fever, but nevertheless, his state is worrying.  

Nevertheless, the pope is in good spirits and is grateful for the prayers for his recovery.
