Popes health a complex clinical situation, Vatican says

Pope Francis is being treated for a "complex clinical situation" and will remain in hospital for as long as necessary, the Vatican has said.

The 88-year-old was admitted to Romes Gemelli hospital on Friday to undergo treatment and tests for bronchitis.
