Acting police chief Steve Rai described Saturday's attack at the Lapu Lapu Day festival - which was attended by up to 100,000 people - as the "darkest day in the city's history".The identities of those killed have not yet been released by officials, and police said dozens more were hurt in the attack which is not being treated as terrorism.

The taoiseach also called for a "new relationship between church and state", urging the Pope to address the "history of sorrow and shame" laid bare by the abuse of vulnerable children.Hours later, Francis met eight survivors of clerical abuse for 90 minutes at the Vatican embassy in Dublin.
